Containing as well explanations of current circumstances in Israeli politics, not least of which, the salutary firing of Yoav Gallant (for those who were puzzled thereby).
New reporting suggests the president’s inner circle is going after Pelosi, the woman seen as having dug the knife into her longtime ally’s back to get him out of the race
Is that a MAGA suit Pelosi is wearing? Maybe pic of decade—will definitely save it! From this article:
General Mike Flynn–whose been through the Leftist’s mill himself–warns that another assassination attempt is likely, and that Trump needs to beef up his security.*
I note the news that Biden has invited Trump to the White House to “speed up the Transition.”
If I were Trump, I would not rely on the apparently incompetent/ hostile/compromised Secret Service, but would have a layer of my own, massive security operation surrounding me.
I would also not drink or eat anything I was offered at this meeting, and I might not even touch a lot of surfaces.
See the history of the Borgias, and other instances of enemies being eliminated by various means, straightforward or subtle–throughout world history–which are just too numerous to mention.
Steve Hayward on Powerline IIRC suggested, tongue in cheek, that Trump should call for an increase in Supreme Court justices, in order to pack the court. That would be hilarious as liberals would have to reverse their previous support for this idea. We could then record their opposition in order to play it back next time they support it – again.
Bluegreen, I said the same thing to my wife, without reading that “other blog”.
I see 2 Dem Governors are already saying they will defy Trump on the immigrant deportations.
I really really want Trump to wield the power of EO and his pen. Crush them, grind them into the ground.
Will be watching Trump for any lies—in regards to how he handles the Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, and the MOMS Act, as was discussed in the Open thread 9/28/2024 post.
Trump and JD Vance have shrugged off suggestions that the agenda is on the table for them but conservatives like Matt Walsh and Steve Bannon reveled in the opportunity to push the policy goals after Trump’s convincing electoral college win and political comeback.
‘Now that the election is over I think we can finally say that yeah actually Project 2025 is the agenda,’ Walsh wrote Wednesday.
Howard Lutnick (Trump’s transition team leader) said – ‘Project 2025 is an absolute zero for the Trump-Vance transition‘, but it obviously bears watching.
A commenter in that Open Thread 9/28 had said – ‘Some of the Project 2025 ideas are things he might adopt, and some are not.’ There are some good things in Project 2025, and there are some things that will be like grabbing a hornets nest if enacted.
It seemed back then, that the REPs were laying the groundwork in case Trump was elected, e.g., “Bill – H.R.517 – Standing with Moms Act”, and now Walsh & Bannon are doing some gloating…Ditto on the obviously bears watching.

I saw some GOP senator, I believe, state that they have submitted a proposal (legislation?) to end the filibuster in the Senate. The proposal is exactly the same one that the Dems were pushing just days ago. He said there was zero Dem support for the Dem proposal. I believe that actually happened, not just tongue in cheek.
Speaking of the damage the Obama admin. did (neo’s recent post), Harry Reid ended the use of the filibuster for the purpose of federal judge appointments.
The news I recall during the latter part of the Obama era was that Obama got a lot of new judges pushed into the DC circuit. My knowledge of the law is not sufficient to fully understand the impact of that, but it doesn’t sound good.
It would be fun if Trump opened his January inauguration speech:
“As I was saying…”
He narrowly escaped death in more ways then one.
Protests against President-elect Donald Trump took place in several cities across the country on Wednesday….
On Wednesday night, demonstrators took to the streets in Chicago, New York and Philadelphia to protest Trump’s win.
Which seems mild compared to those we’ve seen since Trump was elected in 2016. The protests feature pro-Palestine as a prominent concern.
An interesting aspect of the article is that Newsweek includes a “Fairness Meter” in which the reader can rate the article for “Unfair Left Leaning / Mostly Fair Left Leaning / Mostly Fair Right Leaning / Unfair Right Leaning”.
I don’t how long that has been a feature. I have noticed that Newsweek has been running more conservative articles than I expected for a while now.
In order to survive I believe the legacy media will have to move back from activist journalism.

Pelosi – Pic of Year
Is that a MAGA suit Pelosi is wearing? Maybe pic of decade—will definitely save it! From this article:
Who lame-duck Joe Biden blames for Kamala’s catastrophic defeat as Democratic party tears itself apart – go get’em Joe!!!

MAGA stars gloat they can ‘finally’ admit Project 2025 will be Trump’s agenda – as Bannon names first targets
