Javier Milei the Chameleon Ditches the Histrionics, Implements a ‘Shock of Capitalism’ in Argentina’s Devastated Economy By Paul Serran
Dec. 18, 2023 3:00 pm – Once inaugurated, Argentina’s President Javier Milei shocked and confounded his critics and even his enthusiasts by ditching the excessive rhetoric, the histrionics, the chainsaw yielding, and even some of his most extreme proposals.
He implemented a hard, tough but necessary economic ‘shock therapy’ that is capitalism 101 and has managed to balance Argentina’s newfound appreciation for the United States with the necessary coexistence with Brazil and China, Argentina’s biggest trade partners.
Financial Times reported:
“The 53-year-old political novice — whose previous guises have included tantric sex guru, mystic, fanatical dog lover, ultra-libertarian, maverick intellectual and soccer player — has undergone a dramatic shift in image since the campaign, dressing soberly and speaking in serious, statesmanlike terms.”
After his landslide victory over the putrefying Peronist establishment, Milei’s unveiled a surprisingly mainstream economic plan of spending cuts and tax rises on Tuesday to balance the budget – a shock of capitalism.
“A previous pledge to adopt the US dollar as the national currency was shelved, and there was no mention of the most radical ideas Milei supported during the campaign, such as legalizing the sale of human organs or cutting ties with Brazil and China, Argentina’s biggest trading partners.
‘It’s as if he suddenly shed his costume’, noted one senior diplomat, praising the president’s newfound pragmatism after having described him during the campaign as a leap into the unknown.
Milei’s economy minister, former Wall Street trader Luis Caputo, announced this week that he was devaluing the peso by 54 per cent rather than dumping it. Instead of burning down the central bank, Caputo appointed a former investment bank colleague.”

And the Milei surprises went much further than the purely political ones, as the new President has moved towards converting to Judaism.
“Before taking office Milei, who was brought up Catholic, travelled to New York to pray at the tomb of Menachem Mendel Schneerson, a renowned Orthodox rabbi hailed by some followers as the Messiah. “He had made a prayer there before the election and after winning, he felt he had to return as president-elect to give thanks to God,” said a person familiar with the trip.”
Milei has been studying the Torah, and has publicly expressed interest in converting to Judaism, an unusual move towards a minute minority in Argentina.

Pope Francis Officially Approves Priests Blessing Same Sex Couples By Jim Hoft
Dec. 18, 2023 9:30 am – Pope Francis officially approved priests blessing same-sex couples.
The pope explained in his reasoning, people seeking God’s love and mercy shouldn’t be subject to “an exhaustive moral analysis” to receive it.
The AP reported:
[Ed.: Blessing same sex couples? What actually is ‘a blessing’, anyway? This was not Gods’ take on the matter. But The Poop thinks that he can pope on his Creator with reversals of His Commandments. Poop Francis will find out soon enough which end is up (literally)!]
Chuck Schumer Praised the ‘Humanity’ of Anti-Israel Group Whose Leader Was ‘Happy To See’ Hamas Murder Jews Chuck Ross
December 18, 2023 – Two decades ago, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.) said the Council on American-Islamic Relations has “ties to terrorism” and called for the federal government to cut ties with the controversial anti-Israel group. Schumer, now the Senate majority leader, has flip-flopped since then on CAIR, which is back in the national spotlight after its founder said he was “happy to see” Hamas attack Israel.
Last year, Schumer said in a letter of support for CAIR that the United States is “fortunate” the organization is “fighting for the sake of our freedoms.” In 2015, he applauded CAIR for its “determination to continue to spread humanity” and to “cultivate and encourage mutual understanding amongst Americans of all backgrounds and cultures,” according to a letter CAIR cited in fundraising literature.
That’s a far cry from what Schumer said during a 2003 Senate hearing, when he slammed CAIR’s leaders for having “intimate connections with Hamas” and said the group was known to have “ties to terrorism.” In 2009, Schumer submitted a letter to the FBI that noted CAIR was an unindicted co-conspirator in the prosecution of the Holy Land Foundation, a Hamas front group. Schumer said federal agencies ceasing work with CAIR “should be government-wide policy.”

Miracle in Tennessee: Four-Month-Old Baby Found Alive in Tree After Being Swept Up by Tornado (VIDEO) By Jim Hᴏft
Dec. 17, 2023 8:20 pm – In an almost biblical tale of survival, a four-month-old infant was miraculously found alive in a tree after a devastating tornado tore through Clarksville, Tennessee, lifting the baby and his bassinet into its ferocious grasp.
The Moore family’s mobile home was unfortunately situated directly in the path of the devastating tornado on December 9, which ruthlessly tore apart the structure, dispersing fragments of their belongings throughout the surrounding area, WSMV reported.
The baby, identified as Lord, and his one-year-old brother Princeton were at home with their parents, Sydney Moore and her boyfriend Aramis Youngblood, when the tornado hit. Sydney Moore, 22, recounted how the roof of their mobile home was ripped off as the tornado approached.
The tornado’s force was so strong that it lifted the bassinet with the baby inside. Aramis Youngblood attempted to grab the bassinet as it was being sucked up, and both he and the baby were thrown into the air. Sydney Moore, meanwhile, protected their older child, Princeton, from the collapsing walls.
For about 10 minutes after the tornado passed, the baby was missing, sparking fear and desperation in the parents. In an incredible turn of events, the baby was found alive, lying in a fallen tree, with only minor injuries—a cut on the side of his face that needed to be glued shut. The father, Youngblood, suffered a broken arm and shoulder during the ordeal.
The family described their survival and the baby’s miraculous discovery as an act of divine intervention, stating that it was “by the grace of God” that they found their child alive and mostly unharmed.
The family lost everything in the tornado and is now seeking a new home. The local community has rallied around them, providing essential supplies like diapers and formula. A GoFundMe page has been set up to assist the family in rebuilding their lives.

Dec. 17, 2023 5:20 pm – The Biden regime has moved in the demolition crews to remove the Confederate statue in Arlington Cemetery in Washington DC.
John Reid from Richmond’s Morning News with John Reid posted photos on Sunday of the demolition crew moving into the cemetery to remove the monument.
John posted video from Arlington Cemetery this morning where he reported on the destruction of the famous statue.
The crane was moved in and the removal is expected to take place on Monday.
Congress voted to remove the statue earlier this year – 41 Republicans joined Democrats – to move forward with the destruction of this statue. The demolition was scheduled for no later than January 1, 2024.
Millions of US dollars are being allocated to dismantle the memorial dedicated to Civil War veterans.
The statue was dedicated by President Calvin Coolidge in 1924.
The statue was the most important work by Jewish artist Moses Ezekiel.
Here is background on the statue that the radical left will remove from Arlington on Monday.
Woke U.S. Military Faces 2024 with Smallest Size and Lowest Qualification Levels in 80 Years — Pentagon Issue “National Call of Service” to Younger Generations By Jim Hᴏft
Dec. 17, 2023 2:20 pm – Reports emerging from the Pentagon suggest that the United States military is entering the year 2024 with its smallest size and lowest qualification levels in nearly eight decades. This development raises significant concerns about national security and military readiness in an era of evolving global threats.
According to Daily Mail, the total number of active-duty personnel has dropped to levels not seen since the early 1940s, a period before the U.S. entered World War II.
The emerging challenges in military recruitment are becoming increasingly evident, as seen in this year’s significant shortfall of 41,000 personnel. This gap highlights the widening disconnect between the military establishment and the younger generations.
Ashish Vazirani, the acting undersecretary for personnel and readiness at the Pentagon, acknowledges the tough recruitment climate, which has compelled the armed services to lower their target numbers for active personnel in recent times.
Recruiting has been hampered by the COVID-19 vaccine mandates as well as an increasingly woke military atmosphere where trans soldiers are give special privileges while Christian soldiers are persecuted, bases host drag shows, and leaders with a history of anti-white statements are hired.
Republican lawmakers block University of Pennsylvania funding over anti-semitism controversy i24NEWS
December 17, 2023 at 02:12 PM – Turmoil deepens for Penn as GOP legislators withhold $33 million intended for the veterinary school, demanding concrete anti-Semitism measures before approval
In a recent move, Republican lawmakers have halted $33 million in funding for the University of Pennsylvania, targeting the veterinary school, citing concerns about rising anti-Semitism on campus.
Typically, such funding receives bipartisan support, but the GOP wants to assess the university’s specific actions against anti-Semitism before approving the allocation.
All Democratic lawmakers supported the funding, but 25 Republican representatives voted against it, resulting in the suspension of the bill.
This development exacerbates the challenges facing the University of Pennsylvania, already grappling with turmoil following the recent resignation of its president.
Harris Poll Finds 51% of Americans Ages 18-24 Want Israel ‘Ended and Given to Hamas’ By David Israel
5 Tevet 5784 – December 17, 2023 – Let’s put it this way: if some rare disease had swept through America, killing everyone 25 and older, it would become very inhospitable for Jews. A survey conducted online by The Harris Poll and HarrisX within the United States from December 13-14 among 2,034 registered voters, asked, “Do you think that the long-term answer to the Israel-Palestinian dispute is for Arab states to absorb the Palestinians, for there to be two states, Israel and Palestine, or for Israel to be ended and given to Hamas and the Palestinians?” and, God help us, 51% of respondents ages 18-24 preferred “for Israel to be ended.”
Now, among respondents ages 25-34, only 31% picked the “Israel be ended” option, ages 35-44 were even less enthusiastic – 24%, and the fate of Israel was safe with the 55-64 crowd – only 13% want it annihilated, and the 65+ are truly harmless – 4%.
It certainly implies that when that age group chants “From the river to the sea” they know exactly what it means, even if they can’t name which river or which sea.
DEEP DIVE: Dishonorable Judge Beryl Howell EXPOSED IN DETAIL! Why the January 6th Judge That Presided Over Rudy Giuliani’s Trial MUST BE IMPEACHED “Trump-Hating Judge Shredded The Constitution” By Cara Castronuova
Dec. 17, 2023 8:00 am – Judge Beryl Howell had the time of her life presiding over the trial of Rudy Giuliani.
Sitting perched above Courtroom Number 26 of the E. Barrett Prettyman Courthouse in Washington D.C., the Trump-hating Obama appointee looked on last week as an unhinged, bias and corrupted jury ordered Giuliani pay $148 million dollars to former Georgia election workers Ruby Freeman and Shane Moss.
If this ridiculous judgement is not the final proof needed for lawmakers to understand that a D.C. jury is beyond rehabilitation and a D.C. judge is NOT fit to reasonably judge Conservatives or Trump supporters, I do not know what is.
(*Please read our deep dive into the unethical and unconstitutional actions of Beryl Howell regarding January 6th defendants by scrolling down in this article. SHE MUST BE IMPEACHED.)
Earlier last week, the Dishonorable Judge Howell giggled with adoration in her eyes for Ruby Freeman as the former Georgia election worker took the stand and proclaimed she wanted to offer Howell one of the special “ginger-mint candies” she brought to court.
It was nauseating to witness.
Howell also lavished in scolding Mr. Giuliani and his attorney Joseph Sibley after Giuliani spoke to reporters outside the courtroom. The plaintiff’s side of the courtroom was packed with what looked like a team of perhaps fifteen lawyers and personnel, in stark contrast to Defendant Giuliani’s side.
MUSLIM duo who urinated on and gang raped woman on cruise ship to remain in Sweden as court says they have ‘integrated’ By Pamela Geller
December 16, 2023 – The court found that the pair had “acted with particular recklessness and brutality” – perfect for Swedish integration.
Iraqi duo who urinated on and gang raped woman on cruise ship to remain in Sweden as court says they have ‘integrated’
The public prosecutor had pushed for deportation orders for the foreign gang rapists after serving their sentences, however, the court rejected this request
‘By: Remix News, December 06, 2023
Two Iraqi migrants will remain in Sweden after serving their custodial sentences for the gang rape of a Swedish woman onboard a cruise ship after a court rejected deportation requests by the public prosecutor because the duo were deemed to have “integrated” into Swedish society.
Mazin Al-Sharash, 36, and Akar Bajorani, 32, were sentenced to six years and five years and three months respectively for aggravated rape of a woman during a 24-hour cruise between Stockholm and Mariehamn on Sept. 10 this year.
The Stockholm District Court heard how the duo had grabbed the woman and ushered her into a cabin before hitting her in the face, pulling her hair, spitting and urinating on her and both raping her during a four-hour assault.
The court found that the pair had “acted with particular recklessness and brutality” during the sentencing hearing.
The public prosecutor had pushed for deportation orders for the foreign gang rapists after serving their sentences, however, the court rejected this request.
It held that Al-Sharash, who had arrived in Sweden from Iraq back in 2018 had become a Swedish citizen in 2021, and as such it would not be appropriate to deport him. Despite his citizenship, Al-Sharash required an Arabic translator to assist him during the trial.
Bajorani came to Sweden from Iraq in 2008 as a teenager but is not a Swedish citizen. He was, however, deemed to have “integrated” into Swedish society due to the fact that he has two children who are Swedish citizens and is expecting a third. He is also proficient in the Swedish language.
“Bajorani has integrated by learning Swedish and supporting himself through work, mainly as a taxi driver,” the court’s judgment read, as cited by the Samnytt news outlet.
Talking to Samnytt following the judgment, public prosecutor Emma Svedberg revealed that she was considering an appeal of the court’s decision which she believes to be too lenient for the severity of the offense.
“I think it is satisfactory that both men have been convicted of aggravated rape. At the same time, the district court has arrived at a shorter prison sentence than I have requested,” Svedberg said.
“The district court has not reached the conclusion that the man whom I requested to be deported should be deported,” she added.
Italy’s Giorgia Meloni and U.K.’s Rishi Sunak Join Forces to Tackle Mass Migration to Europe By Paul Serran
Dec. 17, 2023 7:15 am – 2024 was the year Europe finally woke up to the danger of unchecked mass migration, hoping it’s not too late.
Conservative leaders are trying to tackle the issue that is mobilizing public opinion. To do that, they need to buck the Globalists entrenched in every country, notably in the Mainstream Media.
The leaders of Italy and the U.K. are joining forces, and agreed on Saturday to jointly address the irregular migration to Europe, intensifying cooperation ‘in the fight against human trafficking’.
[Ed.: The do-gooders are way too late! The EU has spent the last 8-years aggressively bringing them in, and now suddenly, they realize that it was a bad idea? https://euaa.europa.eu/operations/resettlement; https://euaa.europa.eu/asylum-report-2020/714-resettlement-and-humanitarian-admission-programmesl; https://www.dw.com/en/the-eu-migrant-relocation-and-resettlement-scheme-what-you-need-to-know/a-40378909]
Watch: Dr. Phil Rips ‘Liberal Woke’ Universities for Fostering Anti-Semitism, ‘Intellectual Rot’ [Video 6:53] By Ben Kew, The Western Journal
Dec. 16, 2023 6:20 pm – Dr. Phil has launched a full frontal attack on America’s “liberal woke” universities.
The popular television host, whose full name is Phil McGraw, said in a video message this week that he was appalled by the “sickening smugness” displayed by leaders of elite universities they were testifying on Capitol Hill about the issue of campus anti-Semitism.
McGraw declared that these prestigious institutions have become “liberal woke hotbeds fostering intellectual rot rather than critical thinking.”
“They were asked a simple question: ‘Does calling for the genocide of Jews violate your policy against bullying and harassment?’” he said.
“To be 100 percent clear, using the dictionary definition of ‘genocide,’ the question becomes, does calling for the deliberate killing of a large number of Jews with the aim of destroying the Jewish ethnic group and the nation of Israel violate your policy against bullying and harassment?” McGraw said.
He said the university presidents “disgustingly evaded” lawmakers’ questions and claimed it depended on the “context.”
“How much context would be required if these student organizations were demonstrating in support of genocide of all Asians, Catholics, blacks or gays?” McGraw said.
“‘I’ll tell you how much: none,” he said. “And you know what? There should be none. All of these groups deserve protection and the right to attend school without fear, and so do the Jewish students.
“What is wrong with you people? You know better!”

Biden Administration Empowered Iran’s Terror Group, the Houthis by Majid Rafizadeh
December 16, 2023 at 5:00 am
- The Houthis have been fortunate to have, as a powerful patron and sponsor, Iran. Their backers in Tehran will not let them run out of ammunition and the Biden administration will not let the Iranian regime run out of funds.
- Iran has been employing every political and military tactic possible — including racing toward nuclear weapons capability — to complete its objectives of annihilating Israel, driving the United States out of the Middle East, and establishing an Islamist caliphate.
- Does anyone seriously think that if Iran finally acquires a nuclear bomb, they will not use it — or at least threaten to?
- To deter further escalation, the US needs seriously to target the real source of this mayhem — the leadership of the Islamic Republic of Iran and its IRGC. Perhaps the US might try incapacitating the Iranian ports that are used for oil exports, or take out a few IRGC facilities — or maybe just send every IRGC officer a picture of his home?
Thanks to the Biden administration’s alarmingly misguided officials and their counterproductive policies of appeasement towards Iran and its proxies, the Iranian regime’s militia and terrorist group in Yemen, the Houthis, has ratcheted up attacks on ships in the Red Sea, and escalated the launching of missiles and attack drones at Israel. Now, the Houthis, also known as Ansar Allah (“Partisans of Allah”), are threatening to attack any ship headed to Israel, regardless of its nationality or ownership. Why not just replace their flags with American ones?

Shockingly Good: Bill Maher Throws Down – Explains Reality of the Genocidal “From the River to the Sea” Chant [GREAT Video 8:13] By Margaret Flavin
Dec. 16, 2023 2:00 pm
Bill Maher has had strong words in the aftermath of the Hamas terrorist attacks on October 7 in Israel that are becoming more and more out of step with the radical leftists in the Democrat party.
In a recent episode, he took a swipe at former President Obama for comments he made this week about the Israel-Hamas war and shared his disappointment in the former President’s “moral equivalency.”
He has slammed liberals for defending Hamas and the rise of anti-semitism among you people.
He lambasted elite colleges for their “indoctrination into a stew of bad ideas” and the suppression of free speech.
In November, he even took the bold move, at least within his own party, of defending Western civilization.
On Friday’s episode of Real Time with Bill Maher, Maher shared his new rule on the genocidal “From the River to the Sea” chant favored by leftists.
Even more surprising than Maher’s take is the audience’s enthusiastic applause and approval at his remarks.
[Ed.: Be sure to see the comments to this article at Gateway Pundit! Maher is definitely moving to the right! His Democrat audience here is applauding…“They’re here, they like their bagels with a shmear, get used to it!”]
