47: Dr Jay Bhattacharya to Director of the National Institutes of Health.

BBC;

US President-elect Donald Trump has picked a leading Covid lockdown sceptic Jay Bhattacharya to be the next director of a key US public health agency.

Trump said he had selected the Stanford University-trained physician and economist to lead the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the world’s biggest government-funded biomedical research entity.

Bhattacharya became the face during the pandemic of a fiercely disputed open letter – known as the Great Barrington Declaration – that opposed widespread lockdowns.

Greenwald: Stanford’s @DrJBhattacharya was one of the most highly credentialed experts to contest COVID orthodoxies: including the harms of lockdowns, mask efficacy, and dangers to young people. For it, he was censored by Big Tech and widely maligned. Now, he’s running Fauci’s NIH

Trump’s Tariff vs. Trudeau’s Ego

Yesterday, President-elect Donald Trump posted this:

As everyone is aware, thousands of people are pouring through Mexico and Canada, bringing Crime and Drugs at levels never seen before … On January 20th, as one of my many first Executive Orders, I will sign all necessary documents to charge Mexico and Canada a 25% Tariff on ALL products coming into the United States, and its ridiculous Open Borders. This Tariff will remain in effect until such time as Drugs, in particular Fentanyl, and all Illegal Aliens stop this Invasion of our Country! Both Mexico and Canada have the absolute right and power to easily solve this long simmering problem.

Prediction of Trudeau’s ego: “Not on my watch!” In fact, he’ll likely intentionally do nothing, stating that he won’t be bullied by any American.

For those with their heads stuck firmly in the sand, his failure to change the course of Canadian policies is why we have this.

Was Janette Nesheiwat a Good or Very Bad Choice?

Unlike the Leftist hive mind cult, the rest of us common sense folks feel the right to speak out against anything we feel like.  Case in point were a number of Trump’s 2016 nominations.  Many were terrible!

A regular SDA reader shared this article with me. There are definitely mixed thoughts about Dr. Nesheiwat across the Internet. What say you … and what source material do you have to back up your views about her?

Optimism for the Future of Western Civilization

The fellows at Triggernometry sum up what happened in America a few weeks ago.

We’ve already seen early glimpses of the forthcoming battles ahead, represented by these two forces:

  • Democrats, RINOS, & the Deep State: DEI, Incompetence, unaccountability, endless corruption, endless wars, no free speech, bloated government bureaucracy, incestuous relationships with corporations, managed decline, increasing poverty for all but the elites, miserableness & depression
  • Trump’s Republicans: Meritocracy, competence, accountability, consequences for corruption, no more forever wars, free speech, dramatically diminished government bureaucracy, free markets, positive growth, more prosperity for everyone, happiness

Of course, there are no guarantees that Trump et al will be able to carry out their MAGA & MAHA agenda but ask yourself who will be trying to stop them.  Once you understand this, then you clearly know who supports The People and who are against us.

47: Gaetz Withdraws (bumped)

Find him a better job.

Update (from Robert): Pam Bondi has been nominated for U.S. Attorney General

LOL: “Breaking: Pam Bondi will now be accused of sexual assault by 10 men from 20 years ago”

MSNBC is melting down…

“We should all fear [her] because she’s competent.”

“She actually knows how to do this job.”

“She knows what she’s doing about immigration.”

“She is a dangerous and effective pick.”

The Canadian Premiers Want an Exclusive Free Trade Agreement with America

Ontario Premier Doug Ford says that he, and the other Canadian premiers want a direct free trade deal with America, excluding México altogether.

This is likely a good idea for Canada but here’s a suggestion for the Trump administration:

  1. Trudeau must resign immediately.
  2. Require a Festivus-like event on Pay Per View, where Trump’s surrogates get to highlight the endless rhetorical attacks of Canadian politicians and bought-and-paid-for legacy media talking heads against him over the past 4 years.  David Freiheit, Tamara Lich, and Jordan Peterson should host this week long, 3 hours per night event.  Live public apologies from the “offenders” will be mandatory or negotiations will be called off.  All money raised should be given directly to helping Canadian & American military veterans who are struggling in Trudeau’s economy.
  3. Demand that Canadians be given full free speech rights, equivalent to the U.S. First Amendment, written into law before negotiations can proceed forward.

A Major Shake-up of the White House Briefing Room is Required

Ever wonder who is allowed into the White House Briefing Room?  Here are some little known facts you may not be aware of.

The fact is, the legacy media have proven themselves to be illegitimate; merely apparatchiks of the Deep State / Democrats. What should happen, beginning on January 21, 2025 is that well known podcasters, or their designates, who have proven themselves to be honest brokers, should be given the first rows of seats. They shouldn’t be sycophants for either party. All legacy media can then sit behind them.

When The FBI Does It, That Means That It’s Not Illegal

Via Charlie Kirk: I’ve had enough of this so-called “House ethics report” on Matt Gaetz. The underlying allegations are so laughable and flimsy that the only purpose of it is to smear Gaetz.

The last eight years at the Department of Justice have been a disaster for the rule of law. The sprawling intelligence and law enforcement agency ran the Russia collusion hoax, hamstringing President Donald Trump during his entire first term in office.

It interfered in the 2020 election by falsely telling social media companies that a laptop with incriminating information about the Biden family business was Russian disinformation, and telling them to censor speech and debate about the topic. Under President Joe Biden, the department ran two norm-obliterating politicized prosecutions against Trump in an effort to silence, bankrupt, imprison, and defeat him.

Instead of rooting out the corruption at the department, most of permanent D.C. did absolutely nothing in response. Yet somehow the chattering class was shocked when Trump nominated loyal foot soldier Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fl., to be attorney general in Trump’s second term and to fix DOJ.

Make it so: The DOJ tormentors becoming the tormented.

The Deep State Wants to Start WW3 Before Trump Gets Into Office

This is truly insane!

[From Kate] More at CTV;

U.S. President Joe Biden has authorized Ukraine to use U.S.-supplied long-range missiles to strike deeper inside Russia, easing limitations on the weapons as Russia deploys thousands of North Korean troops to reinforce its war, according to a U.S. official and three other people familiar with the matter.

The decision allowing Kyiv to use the Army Tactical Missile System, or ATACMs, for attacks farther inside Russia comes as President Vladimir Putin positions North Korean troops along Ukraine’s northern border to try to reclaim hundreds of miles of territory seized by Ukrainian forces.

Biden’s move also follows the presidential election victory of Donald Trump, who has said he would bring about a swift end to the war and raised uncertainty about whether his administration would continue the United States’ vital military support for Ukraine.

The official and the others knowledgeable about the matter were not authorized to discuss the U.S. decision publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s reaction Sunday was notably restrained.

“Strikes are not made with words,” he said during his nightly video address. “Such things are not announced. The missiles will speak for themselves.”

Does Joe even know?
