Tulsi Gabbard as director of national intelligence, the latest in a flurry of appointments to his Cabinet and White House staff in the days since Trump won the election.

Attorney general and secretaries of defense, state and homeland security are top priorities for Trump, according to The New York Times, citing people familiar with his thinking who said he is keen on candidates who will remove career bureaucrats Trump considers to be part of what he refers to as the “deep state.”

REPORT: CNN’s Scott Jennings Angling for Position of Trump White House Press Secretary

Scott Jennings, the lone conservative voice on CNN, is reportedly trying to position himself as a candidate to fill the role of White House press secretary for President Trump.

Over the course of the last year, Jennings has emerged as popular media figure on the right, as he regularly confounds his CNN colleagues while calmly explaining various issues to them from a conservative perspective. As someone who already works in media, he would be a logical choice. He has proved that he knows how to speak to liberal journalists.

Did Trump Really Call Putin Late Last Week?

There are reasons to doubt WaPo’s report

The Washington Post’s (WaPo) report alleging that Trump called Putin the Thursday after he won the election and told him not to escalate the conflict was contradicted by both the Kremlin and Kiev. The first called it “pure fiction” while the second said that it was “unaware” of the call despite allegedly being informed of it. The Trump team hasn’t commented on it at the time of writing. Nevertheless, the report’s timeframe raises questions about its credibility, which will now be elaborated on. Putin participated in his traditional Q&A session that evening at the Valdai Club’s annual meeting, which lasted until around midnight. He claimed not to have talked to Trump by that time but said that he’d be interested in speaking with him if he calls.

BREAKING NEWS: Dutch police have started arresting Islamists causing chaos in cities across the Netherlands

Geert Wilders Demands Removal of Dutch Passports for Moroccan ‘Jew-Hunting’ Rioters: ‘This is Terror, Plain and Simple’

In response to last Thursday’s shocking “Jew hunt” in Amsterdam, Geert Wilders is clear on his solution: swift, decisive action. He calls for immediate arrests, the harshest penalties, and, when applicable, revoking Dutch citizenship for dual nationals involved in the attacks.

Wilders leaves no room for compromise and is fully committed to restoring law and order. He focuses on the persistent issues caused by repeat offenders within the Islamic migrant community, who, he argues, are increasingly immune to standard legal consequences. Wilders doesn’t hesitate to call the Islamic hunt for Jews acts terrorism, a sentiment that resonates with Dutch citizens watching their neighborhoods fall prey to jihad-fueled violence. “Track them down, imprison them, and treat them as terrorists,” he demands, advocating that dual-national offenders should lose their Dutch passports.

Ankara is always prepared to ensure its security and the comfort of its people, the Turkish president has said

While the areas Türkiye has attacked have predominantly been under the de facto leadership of the Kurdish Democratic Union Party (PYD), Damascus has condemned the operations as an incursion into its sovereign territory.

Prominent Gazan Salafi Cleric Declares Hamas’ October 7 Invasion Illegitimate Jihad Due To Its Foreseeable Catastrophic Consequences For Palestinians, Urges Hamas Leaders To Form Government That Puts Gazans’ Needs First Before Winter

On November 6, 2024, Gazan Salafi cleric Salman Al-Dayah, a professor of Islamic jurisprudence and the former dean of the faculty of shari’a and law at Gaza’s Islamic University, published six essays titled “O Politicians, Stop This Expansion.” The first essay ran six pages, the last four, and the remaining four two pages each.[1]

In the essays, Al-Dayah rejected statements by Hamas leaders justifying the group’s October 7, 2023 invasion of Israel despite the high Palestinian toll, declaring that shari’a mandates waging jihad to defend Muslims’ lives, honor, and religion, while a jihad that is expected to result in the loss of Muslim lives and violation of honor is illegitimate. The cleric urged Hamas leaders to focus on the welfare of Gazans by being “humble” and establishing a government that unites Palestinians and provides for their needs, while refraining from antagonizing a much more powerful Israel. He expressed hope that the group’s remaining leaders will make such concessions before winter to minimize Gazans’ suffering.

(Bloomberg) — The top US public health official warned about the threat of curtailing vaccination efforts as longtime skeptic Robert F. Kennedy Jr. prepares for an influential role in the incoming Trump administration.

Woman Fired for Refusing COVID Shot Wins $12.7 Million in Jury Trial

Lisa Domski sued Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan after the company refused to grant her request for a religious exemption to the company’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate.

A federal jury in Detroit last week awarded nearly $12.7 million to a Catholic woman who sued her former employer, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, after she was fired in 2022 for refusing to get a COVID-19 shot. Lisa Domski worked for Blue Cross for 33 years, most recently as an IT specialist. In 2021, she sought a religious exemption to her employer’s vaccine mandate, saying it violated her sincerely held Catholic beliefs because the vaccines were developed or tested using fetal cells. Blue Cross denied Domski’s request and fired her on Jan. 5, 2022. She sued the company in August 2023, alleging religious discrimination and violations of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Michigan’s Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act.

UN Chief Guterres Warns ‘We Are In The Final Countdown’ To Fight Climate Change And Cool World Temperatures At COP29 Summit

“And no country is spared,” he ominously warned, referring to all the disasters that have been occurring in recent times.

United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres is once again warning the world needs to step up its immediate action in combating climate change and returning the world’s temperature back 1.5 degrees Celsius. Guterres made his alarming remarks at this year’s COP29 climate summit in Baku, Azerbaijan. In a speech given yesterday, Guterres stated: “The sound you hear is the ticking clock. We are in the final countdown to limit global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius. And time is not on our side.”

Peter Schiff: The Fed Is Trying To Save Itself At Your Expense

…it’s pretty clear that the Fed is in a bind. Inflation is rising, so they should realistically hike rates. But interest rates – even at current levels – are killing the federal government…

Well, inflation is up again. You’re probably not surprised, and neither are we. Over the past few months, in fact, we’ve repeated again and again that inflation will keep rising, and even identified some strange reasons why. Remember back during the early days of the pandemic when used car prices went through the roof? Supply chain dysfunction and stay-at-home orders prevented the big auto manufacturers from producing too many new cars. So, demand for used cars surged… and used car prices shot to the moon. But used car prices eventually started to fall back to earth. And throughout this year, the government inflation reports showed steep drops in used car prices– like 10 to 12% year-over-year declines.

Consumers Are Drowning In Debt As Hordes Of Businesses Fail All Over The U.S.

U.S. consumers have piled up the largest mountain of household debt in the history of the world.  If the federal government was not almost 36 trillion dollars in debt, the fact that U.S. households are nearly 18 trillion dollars in debt would be making a lot more headlines.  

Sadly, our entire society is absolutely saturated with debt at this point.  Government debt on all levels is spiraling out of control, corporate debt has ballooned to absurd levels, and consumers have been gorging on debt as if there will never be any consequences.  Unfortunately, a time of reckoning has arrived, and it is going to be incredibly painful. On Wednesday, we learned that total credit card debt has surged to a brand new record high of 1.17 trillion dollars…

Doctors in Canada MAID to Murder by Government

Prearranged Euthanasia gets medical stamp of approval with questionable new Quebec law.

The government of Quebec has quietly greenlit provincial doctors to begin arranging “advanced directives” for MAID (Medical Assistance in Dying). Under the provinces Bill 11, Quebec patients can now giveprearranged permission for the government to kill them. The idea being, if you happen to fall into a coma or lose your mind—don’t worry the government’s got your back in taking your life, provided you filled in a form. “Outrageous,” fumes one dissenting doctor from Montreal to GWU! “This idea of a person agreeing to MAID in advance is against all medical ethics. The potential for mistakes to be made and patients to not fully understanding what they’re signing up for is frightening.”

Second DANA storm impacting eastern Spain after historic October flooding

The Spanish Meteorological Agency (AEMET) issued a severe weather advisory on November 12, 2024, warning of heavy rainfall and potential flooding in the Mediterranean and Andalusian coastal regions through November 15. Rainfall is expected to reach 150 mm (5.9 inches) in 24 hours in some areas, only two weeks after previous severe flooding in eastern Spain.

The advisory forecasts torrential rainfall for parts of Spain’s Mediterranean coast, the Balearic Islands, and Andalusia due to an incoming DANA (Isolated Depression at High Levels) storm. This meteorological phenomenon, involving cold air at high altitudes interacting with warm, humid surface air, often results in significant rainfall and atmospheric instability in the Iberian Peninsula and the Mediterranean. This current DANA storm, moving from France toward Spain, has already prompted AEMET’s warning for flash floods, coastal turbulence, and potential thunderstorms through mid-week.
