From NewsBusters, the Los Angeles Times hires CNN contributor Scott Jennings to its editorial board, which enrages liberals.

From TCW Defending Freedom, what the network ITV did not report about the 18 deaths from weight loss drugs.

From Snouts in the Trough, marvel at the revival of president-elect Trump's U.S. and weep for the decline of the aforementioned Keir Starmer's U.K.  (Considering that the U.S. started as a rebellious offshoot of the U.K., it might be easy for us Americans to weep for what has become of the U.K., even though it can't all be blamed on the recently-installed Starmer.  I'd say that Prime Ministers Boris "the Spider" Johnson and Rishi Sunak, among others, are not blameless.)

From the Daily Mail, rebels in Syria linked to al-Qaeda advance toward Damascus after taking the city of Aleppo.

From Canada Free Press, the non-melting sea ice that climate alarmists don't want you to see.

From ReMix, a Green Party politician in the German state of Bavaria fights against the settling of 130 migrants in the village where he lives.  (This shows that people who favor mass or unrestricted migration and open borders don't really want to help migrants or "undocumented immigrants", but instead want to force others to help them.)

From Balkan Insight, former Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina Prime Minister Fadil Novalić appeals his conviction for abuses in the procurement of respirators to the European Court of Human Rights.  (The Federation is one of two entities which make of the country of Bosnia and Herzegovina.)

From Gatestone Institute, the new "axis of evil" forms some cracks.

From The Stream, coronavirus fascism was the biggest national crime in the U.S. since slavery, as Trump appoints both modern abolitionists and confederates.  (After the coronavirus outbreak, I realized that it gave the left a chance to fulfill its fondest wish, which was and is to control people's lives.)

From The Daily Signal, to get ride of wokeness, we must understand how it started.

From The American Conservative, the new DOGE's first target should be the National Endowment for Democracy.

From BizPac Review, the Chief Twit's mother calls out CNN for a "blatant" lie.

From The Daily Wire, some people who could replace Vice President-elect J.D. Vance in the Senate from Ohio.

From Snouts in the Trough, with no steel industry or car industry, is the U.K. left with no industry?

From The Federalist, 40 things for which to be grateful after former and future President Trump's win.

From American Thinker, how the Pilgrims tried and then abolished socialism.

And from the Genesius Times, perform a human sacrifice and seven other things you can do to honor Native American heritage on Unthanksgiving.

Happy Thanksgiving

To all who read this blog, I wish you a.....

Yesterday, I drove to Virginia to visit my family.  For the last few years, we've foregone the traditional dinner gathering and instead have had a breakfast party.  This means that the only "stuffing" is what we do to ourselves, and that I can take it easy for the rest of the day, and everyone else can do do what they want to do.  So whatever else you do out there, enjoy your food, company, and maybe even some football games.

From NewsBusters, CNN hypes a documentary about its founder Ted Turner and promotes his apologia of the Soviet Union.

From TCW Defending Freedom, if Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves can find money for the U.K.'s train drivers, why not for its military?  (I'm still picking on Reeves, but this time from a source other than Snouts in the Trough, speaking of which....)

From Snouts in the Trough, has Reeves and her budget sent the U.K.'s economy into a death spiral?  (On second though, let me continue picking on Reeves through SitT.)

From The Jerusalem Post, a Zionist Christian center in the Netherlands is vandalized.  (Even if you're not a Jew, supporting Israel and the Jews is bad enough in the minds of some antisemites.)

From AMU, the Taliban in Afghanistan establish a new office having the function of "keeping alive the values of jihad".

From Arutz Sheva, the mythology about the Palestinian Arabs.

From Gatestone Institute, Ukraine's survival is Taiwan's survival.

From The Stream, a practical assessment of Trump and the cultural revolution.

From ReMix, knowing that she will be accused of racism, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni points out that migrants are responsible for a disproportionate amount of violent crime against women in Italy.

From Balkan Insight, an independent "far-right" candidate wins the first round in Romania's presidential election.  (The term "far-right" probably means that he wants Romania to be governed by elected Romanian representatives instead of by the European Commission, and that he favors finite limits on the number of foreign migrants which Romania can accept.)

From The North Africa Post, Mauritania plans to deport illegal aliens from Pakistan.  (I guess that since Mauritanians are not white, it's OK for them to do that.)

From The New Arab, 17 go missing when an Egyptian tourist boat sinks in the Red Sea.

From Allah's Willing Executioners, a dead newborn baby is found in a trash container near a medical clinic in Vienna, Austria, allegedly the victim of an honor killing.  (If you read German, read the story at Exxpress.)

From The American Conservative, the opening shots in the war between Trump and the federal bureaucracy have already been fired.

From The Western Journal, according to a poll, Americans like what they're seeing from Trump, even through he's not yet back in office.

From BizPac Review, avid golfer and former and future First Granddaughter Kai Trump shows off her "moves" learned from her grandfather.

From The Daily Wire, Trump's team quashes a rumor about his policy toward trans people in the military.

From the Daily Caller, Senator Joni Ernst (R-IA) sends Department of Government Efficiency co-chair-designates Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy ideas on where to cut $2 trillion in spending.  (I normally refer to Musk as the "Chief Twit", since this was his own term for himself.  I have no analogous nickname for Ramaswamy.)

From the New York Post, the Chief Twit's Neuralink company receives approval for a feasibility study for its brain implant and a robotic arm.  (How long before they create a real live General Grievous?)

Some Sunday Stuff

On a sunny and cool Sunday, here are some things going on:

From National Review, the hypocrisy of the climate change conferees.

From FrontpageMag, the Democrats are unwilling to write off a comeback by Vice President Harris.  (Considering that President-elect Trump just pulled off what might be the greatest comeback in American political history, I can see where they might think that she could likewise have a comeback.)

From TCW Defending Freedom, the rising tide of attacks against Christians in Europe.

From Snouts in the Trough, was U.K. Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves fired from the only two real jobs that she ever had?  (Looks like SitT is going back to picking on Reeves.)

From The Jerusalem Post, according to a survey, almost one in five young people think that Jews leaving France would be good.

From the Washington Examiner, pet stores in New York state will no longer be allowed to sell dogs, cats and rabbits starting on December 15th.  (Recently euthanized New York residents Peanut the squirrel and Fred the raccoon are unavailable for comment.)

From The American Conservative, smearing someone as a "foreign agent" is antidemocratic.

From BizPac Review, congresscritter Ritchie Torres (D-NY) calls the aforementioned Kathy Hochul "the new Joe Biden".  (Does this mean that she has a crack-addicted son, her dogs bite people, she might fall off her bicycle, or she insults Americans who disagree with her politically?  Come to think of it, I'm pretty sure that the last one is correct, so maybe Torres is on to something.)

From The Daily Wire, journalist Megyn Kelly breaks down the "bull[bleep] allegation" against Defense Secretary nominee Pete Hegseth.

From Arutz Sheva, Europe is filling up with more and more "no-go zones".

From Gatestone Institute, socio-feudalism wages war on the individual.  (I've come to believe that feudalism and socialism, regarded by some as opposites, with capitalism being an intermediary condition between them, as being very similar.  In both systems, individual rights are subordinated to the rule of elites.  The main difference is that in feudalism, elite status is inherited, while in socialism, the elites are self-appointed.  Thus, I regard the term "socio-feudalism" as perfectly legitimate.)

From The Stream, Trump speaks American.

From The Daily Signal, how Trump reverses the destruction wrought by Biden's pro-illegal migration ideologues.

From The American Conservative, helping middle Americans means getting the federal government out of their way.

From Snouts in the Trough, should Prime Minister Keir Starmer be disbarred by the U.K.'s Solicitors Regulation Authority and/or by its Bar Standards Board?  (Since the U.K. has two types of lawyers, as in barristers and solicitors, it seems appropriate that it also has two authorities that can disbar someone.)

From EuroNews, centrist groups in the European Parliament agree to a deal to approve new members of the European Commission.

From ReMix, 63 percent of Germany's welfare recipients have a migration background.

From Balkan Insight, Greek workers strike for higher wages and better working conditions.

From TCW Defending Freedom, the budget proposed by U.K. Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves brings the two certainties of debt and taxes.
