FYI, if you're outside the US, you can come here and just collect $3,000
Kristi Noem makes an announcement on Fox & Friends: "We are saying that if you voluntarily want to go home now to your country, if you're in the US illegally, we'll give you $3,000 through the holidays to send you home. We'll buy you a ticket, give you $3,000 to go home."

The court of Nero only captures a fraction of it. Please stop thinking in terms of just nation states. It’s nations being captured and used by transnational criminal enterprise.
Europe is now saying the quiet part out loud. A French senator mocked Washington as “the court of Nero.” Portugal, a founding member of NATO, saw its president claim Trump is “objectively… a Soviet or Russian asset.”

It got Bari’d.
CBS News EIC Bari Weiss had concerns about the CECOT piece, I’m told. The network decided to hold the segment pending, among other things, comment or an interview with White House officials next year…

The actor Michael Sheen used all his money to start a fake debt collecting business, buy 900 people in Wales's debt, and excused it. If Musk bought ALL $194 billion in medical debt in the U.S. and excused it in the same way, he'd still be the world's riches man by hundreds of billions of dollars.

One reason it’s hard to get equal representation from conservatives in research and education and culture is that there’s no intellectual underpinning to conservatism. Any analysis is backfilled to justify activity and policy motivated entirely by animus. If it’s ever correct, that’s coincidence.

My favorite Hanukkah tradition is my annual potato grating injury. It lasts at least 8 nights and reminds me of the holiday every time I bend my thumb.

US and Venezuela both reportedly jamming GPS signals in the Caribbean now.
Escalating series of measures short of war can work only if there's a concrete, actionable demand. If you do X, we'll back off, stop doing Y, and won't start doing Z.
But there's no concrete US demand on Venezuela. At all.

The White House has been caught.
The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.
In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.
