“All of these characters sound like people who are prepared to cheat, or at least justify cheating next year. After all, if Trump really is what they say he is — the man who will end democracy, a Hitlerian figure — then how could he possibly be allowed to be able to run for office, be approaching the White House? …

This just gets funnier and even more stupid: Fox News contributor Jason Chaffetz got roasted on X for claiming he spent $90 on a Thanksgiving turkey all thanks to Bidenomics. “I mean, we went to go buy a turkey today. It was $90 for a turkey!” Chaffetz exclaimed. “It’s all a choice by Joe Biden. That is what Bidenomics is.” …

National Zero reports: Although Jason Chaffetz is whining–as Republicans are wont to do when they have no policies on which they can run–about seeing a turkey for $90 at a local supermarket, the cost of turkey dinner is actually down this year, to $61.17 for an entire Thanksgiving meal for ten people. So Chaffetz is shopping for some high-end, organic, …

“It was engineered, came out of the Wuhan lab, and then China tried to cover it up — that doesn’t tell me anything about whether or not it was intentional. I mean, is there a chance that China released this virus on America intentionally? “Disrupt the country, get Donald Trump out, get your man in there, Joe Biden, and then …

“Of course, the great irony is that Blackrock’s Larry Fink, among the worst Xi boot lickers, was the sanctimonious force as I said behind the idea of shaming companies under these environmental, social, and governance standards, ESG standards, that have plagued corporate America. “In between the appetizer and the main course, did Fink press Xi about climate change in China …

“I was wrong when I expressly said that Pakistan had expelled Palestinians. The government there is, in fact, kicking out 1.7 million people and what they’re calling a ‘tiered repatriation.’ Pakistan says those people are there illegally — they’re illegal immigrants. Now, here’s who they are: mostly Afghans who have tried to flee the Taliban. Some Uyghurs, ethnic Muslims who …

Philip Bump writes for the Washington Post: Jesse Watters layered on a bunch of other insider culture-war references, like the guy doing the stand-up routine at a major corporation’s holiday party. Then the dastardly demonstrations of anti-Christmas hate: a business owner who decided Christmas Eve shouldn’t be a holiday and a public official who asked that holiday decorations be non-religious. …

“You can knock off Amazon delivery trucks because, you know, Jeff Bezos is a billionaire. What’s a few less Amazon Prime boxes? Stealing from large corporations is morally allowable in today’s America. A FedEx truck was completely ripped apart by thieves Saturday. And then dozens of people sacked convenience stores, stealing $17,000 worth of merchandise. A Home Depot got hit …

“The world is on fire. You don’t have to look farther than our president. We have today – we have the weakest president in the history of the United States. The guy doesn’t even know what planet he’s on. And of course, our enemies can see that. So what’s better time to take advantage of the situation? The guy can’t …

“Secret Service agents don’t fire guns to protect property. They have strict shot accountability. And Naomi Biden wouldn’t have been in the car because an agent would have been in there with her. And the carjackers wouldn’t have smashed a window of a vehicle to steal it with two people in it. “Secret Service protocol requires the agents only discharge …

The Daily Beast reports: Jason Donner, a former reporter for Fox News, is suing the right-wing network for retaliation and discrimination, alleging the conservative cable giant fired him because he opposed Fox’s “false coverage of the January 6th insurrection.” Donner, who started at the network in 2010 and worked his way up to Capitol Hill reporter and producer, was terminated …

“Well, now thanks to Joe Biden, you’re going to have a car that tracks your every move, but it’s not here to help. Democrats want every car in America armed with a kill switch that’ll turn your car off if it doesn’t like how you drive. Lobbyists slipped language into the Infrastructure Bill that says all new cars sold in …

Fox News reports: Dozens of local residents in northern Washington recently voiced their strong opposition to a Biden administration plan to release grizzly bears, an apex predator, in a federally-managed forest area near their communities. More than 200 local residents attended a public comment session in northern Washington hosted by the Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and National Parks Service …

Mediaite reports: Kayleigh McEnany took issue with a courtroom sketch of former President Donald Trump shortly after he finished testifying in the civil fraud case against him.

Reuters reports: Social media researchers have canceled, suspended or changed more than 100 studies about X, formerly Twitter, as a result of actions taken by Elon Musk that limit access to the social media platform, nearly a dozen interviews and a survey of planned projects show. Musk’s restrictions on critical methods of gathering data on the global platform have suppressed …

Media Matters reports: Fox News host Mark Levin launched a false and vicious attack Wednesday night against CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer over Blitzer’s coverage of the deaths of Palestinian civilians in the Israel-Hamas war, falsely claiming that Blitzer’s parents “weren’t victims” of the Holocaust, and that “you wouldn’t know” he was from a Jewish background due to his coverage of …

“We had a former CIA guy come on ‘Primetime’ the other day, and he said the CIA makes money on the side with drug trafficking. It’s like a side hustle because their funding isn’t big enough, so they do some, you know, black ops in order to boost their budget and hide it from congressional oversight. And then use it …

“Getting arrested before the trials even began and getting put in jail would one billion percent be beneficial to him because it delegitimizes all of the already illegitimate trials. I would be goading. I would be trying to get these judges to put me in jail at this point if I were Trump because I think it benefits him.” – …

CNN Business reports: New York judge on Monday shut down an attempt by Fox News to subpoena George Soros, the Jewish billionaire and frequent target of far-right conspiracy theories, and search for additional links between him and Smartmatic, a voting technology company at the center of false election claims during the 2020 election. Manhattan Supreme Court Justice David B. Cohen …

“He can call the prosecutor a bastard if he wants. He can call a witness a bastard if he wants. He can call the judge whatever he wants to call the judge. And for this Judge Chutkan to say, wow, he’s threatening, he’s threatening — guess what? That same logic would apply to newspapers in this country. “And when you …
