On this day 106 years ago, the warring parties of World War I agreed to an armistice, ending more than four years of slaughter in the trenches. As Ludwig von Mises recalled, governments also slaughtered their own currencies to pay for the bloodshed.

Mixed Martial Arts Star McGregor Assaulted Woman in 2018, Jury Finds
November 23, 2024
DUBLIN—Irish mixed martial arts fighter Conor McGregor must pay nearly 250,000 euros ($259,950) in damages for assaulting a woman in Dublin in 2018, a jury decided on Friday. The jury of eight women and four men reached its verdict after six hours and 10 minutes of deliberation. The plaintiff Nikita Hand alleged that McGregor sexually assaulted her on Dec. 9, 2018, and that another man, James Lawrence, did the same, Ireland’s high court heard during two weeks of evidence. McGregor, 36, denied the allegation. He also denied causing bruising to the plaintiff. Hand’s lawyer told the jury that when she was referred to a sexual assault treatment unit the day after the alleged assault, a doctor was so concerned that he directed that photographs be taken of her injuries. Hand said that she and a friend made contact with McGregor, who she knew, after a work Christmas party. She said they were driven by McGregor to a party in a penthouse room of a south Dublin hotel where drugs and alcohol were consumed. […]
The Pentagon’s DEI Mafia Has Set Their Sights on Saving Themselves From Pete Hegseth – RedState
November 23, 2024
Pentagon officials speaking on condition of anonymity are claiming that should Pete Hegseth be confirmed as Secretary of Defense, he will demolish the efforts by the Department of Defense to stamp out sexual assault. According to Politico, “Officials fear that Hegseth, whose nomination had already caused controversy due to his opposition to women serving in combat, could also hurt efforts to recruit women into the military.” “When you have a leader that has already been credibly accused of sexual assault and then already has other signals in his background that he’s not concerned about the contributions that women can make to national security, it could create bad signals up and down the chain of command,” said one Defense Department official, who like others was granted anonymity to speak candidly. “I imagine there is already profound fear and anxiety among women in uniform.” … “To have someone who now at least has had a police investigation and paid a victim, enforced a [nondisclosure agreement] regarding a sexual assault sends a horrific message,” said a former DOD official. “It likely means that any progress the department has made… Read the full article here […]
The Trump-Musk Road to Prosperity
November 23, 2024
With Trump’s electrifying victory, Elon Musk’s promise to cut $2 trillion in federal spending takes center stage. To date, the target has not been viewed seriously. With federal discretionary spending, excluding military, at less than a trillion dollars, we are assured that the effort is unrealistic or achievable only by a suicidal attack on Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and income protection programs — collectively, entitlements. That is a mistake. Elon Musk does not speak idly. President Trump has charged Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to cut waste and fraud via a newly created Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Musk promises that the effort will “send shockwaves through the system.” But that understates what these two generational minds can achieve. By June 2026, the team will identify billions in misspent money and, more importantly, reimagine the delivery of government services for a generation to come, long after DOGE sunsets. This is the “revolution” deliverable by Musk and Ramaswamy. No effort is more important, or difficult to achieve. Every American — Democrat, Republican and Independent — would personally benefit… Read the full article here […]
Rob Reiner Says He is Checking into a Facility after Claiming ‘MAGA Scum’ Ruined Bluesky
November 23, 2024
(Maire Clayton, Headline USA) Director Rob Reiner said he would be checking into a facility after firing off a series of now-deleted social media posts bashing MAGA Republicans late Wednesday night. “I have made the decision to take the next few days to check into a facility for peace and relaxation,” Reiner said. “No phones, social media, no trolls, just calmness to heal my pain.” After Trump’s victory in the 2024 election, some leftist celebrities are leaving the country.@RobReiner is checking into a nuthouse. pic.twitter.com/v6ZFbDNXrp — Matt Margolis (@mattmargolis) November 21, 2024 His revelation came after Reiner, along with millions of leftists, left Elon Musk’s X and switched to Bluesky in protest of the billionaire’s relationship with President-elect Donald Trump. Reiner previously expressed his annoyance with the new platform. “All the abuse and hate from Twitter has now spewed over to here,” he said. “There seems to be no point anymore.” How’s it going over there on Blue Skye? 🤣 pic.twitter.com/zZIwEdMQAf — Gimme3Steps (@TheSouthGAJohn) November 20, 2024 Reiner continued his attack against the new platform and bashing of Republicans.

If you’ve had your eye on one, or want to get a couple for Christmas gifts, now’s the time to load up! The sale will only last few a few more days before they take it down. Don’t know what a Q-Link? Then keep reading and I’ll fill you in! (This article would be banned if it was printed in the USSR under Stalin.) Now that the Establishment has lost the election, we know they want to try to stop the Inauguration on January 20th. What moves do they have left? Turning off the power grid? Perhaps that will be part of it. Let’s look at what their role models, the Communists, did: Bolshevik leader, Leon Trotsky (real name Lev Davidovich Bronstein) developed a ‘slow starvation’ strategy. This was used to murder millions of Christians by creating a famine. So will they attack our food supply? It seems to be one of their go-to moves. Good thing lots of us are already growing our own food. BUT have you ever tried growing food in winter? If you want to start growing food now, what are you going to do? Are you out of luck? Nope.

Congressional RINOs Thwarting Trump’s Agenda Need to Pay the Political Toll – PJ Media
November 23, 2024
Donald Trump in 2024 dominated the popular vote and the Electoral College, massively outperforming even the pundits’ most bullish predictions. He delivered the Senate and the House. He stitched together a brand-new GOP coalition that might, if the base isn’t betrayed as it usually is by both parties, deliver victories for years to come. He is the undisputed leader of the party. He has a mandate, which is to actually #DraintheSwamp this time around, to clear out the special interests that rob and manipulate and persecute the American public, and to restore law and order to all sectors of society — including to the most prolifically criminal class of them all: the ones at the top. Related: Pentagon Fails SEVENTH Straight Audit, Cites ‘Progress Made’ Many Senate Republican dinosaurs — careerists who were there long before Trump and hope to remain after he’s gone, up until they’re being wheeled around by a staffer like Diane Feinstein’s corpse was before it finally gave up the ghost — don’t like or respect American voters to exemplify any due deference to the executive branch.

People Don’t Trust Institutions Because ‘Many’ Became ‘Ideologically Captured’ and Dishonest
November 23, 2024
On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher stated that “many institutions” “have been ideologically captured by this very, very far-left wing, to the point where they are denying stuff that is just obvious to the naked eye.” And that’s why people don’t trust institutions. After Maher brought up his earlier discussion with astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, writer Andrew Sullivan cut in to say that Tyson wouldn’t address the substance of the issue. Maher then said, “I can’t get a scientist to say that Scientific American, the magazine — as so many institutions — have been ideologically captured by this very, very far-left wing, to the point where they are denying stuff that is just obvious to the naked eye.” Sullivan responded, “And people aren’t stupid, they see them making these statements and they see Democrats refusing and liberals refusing to disown them. Why? What is Neil afraid of? I know what he’s afraid of, he’s afraid of some massive social media mob coming at him, calling him a sexist, bigot, and all the rest. Well, we have to get over that.” Maher then stated, “And people see that and they go,… Read the full article here […]
Big Oil turns on Trump over Paris accord exit for all the wrong reasons
November 23, 2024
One of Donald Trump’s priorities upon returning to the Oval Office in January is to withdraw the United States from the Paris Climate Agreement. This move is welcome news for those who oppose the decarbonization agenda, which undermines freedom, prosperity, and mobility. Given that petroleum the bête noire of the global climate cult, you might expect major oil companies would support U.S. withdrawal from the agreement. That doesn’t appear to be the case. Soon after Trump’s intentions for the Paris agreement became clear, major oil companies signaled their opposition to his decision. Instead, they favor continuing down the path of heavy regulation and government subsidies for their industry, aligned with the priorities of the global climate community. As reported by Fox News, “Big Oil is calling on President-elect Donald Trump to keep the U.S. in the Paris climate agreement after withdrawing from the treaty during his first term.” It’s disheartening to see a once-iconic American oil company transform into a post-capitalist entity that depends heavily on government funding for its revenue. Why would companies whose primary business is extracting and selling petroleum… Read the full article here […]
Joe and Mika’s Ratings Continue Collapsing Since They “Slithered on Their Bellies to Lick Trump’s Boots” – HotAir
November 23, 2024
That quote is from Megyn Kelly. Remember, the Adulterous Pair had already lost half of their audience. Then, they announced they went to the Wolf’s Lair, I mean Mar-a-Lago, to meet with Literal Hitler, I mean Trump. And their audience dropped by another 15% overall, but far worse, the ratings in the demo most sought by advertisers dropped 41%. Ratings continue to sunset at MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” after the hosts surprised audiences earlier this week by announcing they had gone to visit Donald Trump at Mar-A-Lago following years of feuding with him. On Wednesday, MSNBC’s morning mainstay lured an average of 647,000 viewers overall, and just 51,000 viewers between 25 and 54, the demographic most coveted by advertisers in news programming. On Monday, the four-hour program reached 770,000 overall and 86,000 viewers in the demo, meaning Wednesday’s overall audience fell by 15% and its viewership among people between 25 and 54 tumbled nearly 41%….
