[Ed.: Tonight is the 2nd night of Chanukah and we light the first two of the eight candles. HAPPY CHANUKAH! The following is an excellent description of what Chanukah is all about by my friend Yoram Ettinger:]
Chanukah guide for the perplexed, 2023 Ambassador (ret.) Yoram Ettinger
1. According to Israel’s Founding Father, David Ben Gurion: Chanukah commemorates “the struggle of the Maccabees, which was one of the most dramatic clashes of civilizations in human history, not merely a political-military struggle against foreign oppression…. Unlike many peoples, the meager Jewish people did not assimilate. The Jewish people prevailed, won, sustained and enhanced their independence and unique civilization…. It was the spirit of the people, rather than the failed spirit of the establishment, which enabled the Hasmoneans to overcome one of the most magnificent spiritual, political and military challenges in Jewish history….” (Uniqueness and Destiny, pp 20-22, David Ben Gurion, IDF Publishing, 1953).
2. A Jewish national liberation holiday. Chanukah (evening of December 7 – December 15, 2023) is the only Jewish holiday that commemorates an ancient national liberation struggle in the Land of Israel, unlike the national liberation holidays, Passover, Sukkot/Tabernacles and Shavu’ot/Pentecost, which commemorate the liberation from slavery in Egypt to independence in the land of Israel, and unlike Purim, which commemorates liberation from a Persian attempt to annihilate the Jewish people.
3. Chanukah and the Land of Israel. When ordered by Emperor Antiochus IV Epiphanes of the Seleucid region to end the Jewish “occupation” of Jerusalem, Jaffa, Gaza, Gezer and Akron, Shimon the Maccabee responded: “We have not occupied a foreign land…. We have liberated the land of our forefathers from foreign occupation (Book of Maccabees A: 15:33).”
Chanukah highlights the centrality of the Land of Israel in the formation of Jewish history, religion, culture and language. The mountain ridges of Judea and Southern Samaria (the West Bank) were the platform for the Maccabean military battles: Mitzpah (the burial site of the Prophet Samuel, overlooking Jerusalem), Beth El (the site of the Ark of the Covenant and Judah the Maccabee’s initial headquarters), Beth Horon (Judah’s victory over Seron), Hadashah (Judah’s victory over Nicanor), Beth Zur (Judah’s victory over Lysias), Ma’aleh Levona (Judah’s victory over Apolonius), Adora’yim (a Maccabean fortress), Eleazar (named after Mattityahu’s youngest Maccabee son), Beit Zachariya (Judah’s first defeat), Ba’al Hatzor (where Judah was defeated and killed), Te’qoah, Mikhmash and Gophnah (bases of Shimon and Yonatan), the Judean Desert, etc.
4. Historical context Chanukah is narrated in the four Books of the Maccabees, The Scroll of Antiochus and The Wars of the Jews.
In 323 BCE, following the death of Alexander the Great (Alexander III) who held Judaism in high esteem, the Greek Empire was split into three independent and rival mini-empires: Greece, Seleucid/Syria and Ptolemaic/Egypt.
In 175 BCE, the Seleucid/Syrian Emperor Antiochus (IV) Epiphanes claimed the Land of Israel. He suspected that the Jews were allies of his Ptolemaic/Egyptian enemy. The Seleucid emperor was known for eccentric behavior, hence his name, Epiphanes, which means “divine manifestation.” He aimed to exterminate Judaism and convert Jews to Hellenism. In 169 BCE, he devastated Jerusalem, attempting to decimate the Jewish population, and outlaw the practice of Judaism.
Money-Losing Postal Agency Cancels Services to Israel by Bob Unruh
Accused of aligning with anti-Semitic BDS movement
Dec. 7, 2023 10:00 pm – A money-losing postal agency serving Australia has announced it has suspended delivering letters to, or from, Israel, because of the “safety” issue.
Yet it still delivers to and from Ukraine.
The double standard was pointed out by Australian journalist Andrew Bolt, who explained what was going on.
A report by the RAIR Foundation noted, “In a significant decision marked by conspicuously selective enforcement, Australia Post has temporarily halted all mail services to and from Israel, citing ‘ongoing safety concerns’ and limited flight capacity. This move has sparked debate and criticism, especially given the postal service’s continued operations in Ukraine, another conflict zone.”
The report noted Bolt pointed out that “private couriers like Pack and Send and DHL face no issues.”
But, in fact, the announcement comes as “Australia Post is grappling with a $200 million loss and a significant decline in letter delivery volumes, leading to a shift in domestic mail delivery schedules,” the report said.
“The situation has raised questions about Australia Post’s strategic direction and its role in international relations. National Sen. Matt Canavan criticized the suspension as a moral and operational failure, urging the company to explore growth opportunities and diversify its services. The broader implications of this decision, including its alignment with the fundamentally antisemitic Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement (BDS), which wants to destroy the Israeli economy with boycott efforts and its impact on Australia’s social and political discourse, continue to be hotly debated as the situation evolves,” the report said.
Bolt said he discovered the change after a Jewish teacher at a Jewish school told him her students had written letters to support Israel, and the postal agency refused them.
The issue, he said, “is a moral one cutting off Israel.”
“Nancy Pelosi At Least Stuck Around” – Matt Gaetz Responds to Kevin McCarthy’s End of Year Resignation Leaving Republicans With a One Seat Majority (VIDEO) By Jordan Conradson
Dec. 7, 2023 8:30 am – Congressman Matt Gaetz (R-FL) on Wednesday reacted to news that former Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy (RINO-CA) will retire and leave Washington at the end of 2023 before his term expires.
“This is not an act of patriotism or moving on to the next fight. It is an act of abject selfishness,” Gaetz said of McCarthy’s decision to leave the House before the end of his term. “If he cannot run the place and be Speaker, then he will leave.”
Gaetz added, “Nancy Pelosi, for all her flaws, and there are many, at least stuck around. She didn’t hurt her team by saying, well, if I can’t be the quarterback, I’m just gonna take the ball and go home.”
The Gateway Pundit reported on McCarthy’s Wednesday announcement that he will leave Congress after he was ousted as House Speaker in October by a 216-210 vote. Matt Gaetz filed the Motion to Vacate the Chair, and eight brave MAGA conservatives voted to remove McCarthy after his failure to honor the promises to Republicans that got him elected Speaker in January.
As it stands now, Republicans barely have a majority in the House following the expulsion of George Santos by 105 RINOs.
Santos was the most conservative freshman member of Congress. He needed to be dealt with. There were rumors that Kevin McCarthy led the efforts to remove Santos and make it easier for Democrats to continue to destroy the country.
A couple of weeks ago, McCarthy further suggested that Gaetz could be targeted next, saying “he could have the same problem as Santos has.” In his last act as a member of Congress, it seems that McCarthy may seek revenge against Republicans for removing him from the Speaker’s chair.
McCarthy’s resignation will “imperil our ability to get the job done,” said Gaetz, noting that Republicans could be left with a one-seat majority once McCarthy and Bill Johnson (R-OH) go.
If McCarthy and the RINOs target another Republican, they may lose the majority.

WATCH: Safety First on Campus. Except for Jews [3:59] By The Free Press
Our video on the hypocrisy of the college presidents.
December 7, 2023 – Safety first.
That’s the approach taken by university administrators these days. On campuses across the country, “safety first” has birthed a whole new moral framework—one that treats rhetorical “microaggressions” as acts of violence.
It’s safety first when it comes to edgy Halloween costumes. It’s safety first when a professor writes an email in which she says, “Black Lives Matter but also, Everyone’s Life Matters.” And it’s safety first when a professor fails too many students in his class.
But when it comes to threats and calls for genocide against the Jews, it’s a different story. Not safety first, but anything goes.
Here at The Free Press, we’ve been reporting on the ways in which college leaders have failed their Jewish students in the weeks since October 7—and pointing out the flagrantly uneven enforcement of their “safety first” approach.
And if that double standard wasn’t already obvious, it was crystal clear in Washington this week, when the presidents of Harvard, MIT, and UPenn testified before a congressional hearing on campus antisemitism.
Instead of more double standards, how about free speech as the standard?

Hamas on Campus: Students for Justice in Palestine by Robert Williams
December 7, 2023 at 5:00 am
- Many pro-Hamas demonstrations that have been taking place on US campuses since Hamas launched its war on Israel on October 7, when more than 3,000 Hamas terrorists invaded and raped, pillaged, murdered and kidnapped their way through the small communities of southern Israel, have reportedly been led by a radical organization known as National Students for Justice in Palestine (NSJP).
- According to a 2018 monograph… NSJP was founded in 2010 by leaders of American Muslims for Palestine and the US Palestinian Community Network, two organizations linked to US-designated terror organizations.
- The letter [to nearly 200 university presidents] cites the NSJP toolkit document: “The toolkit refers to the Hamas-led terrorist attack in Israel as ‘the resistance.’ This was followed by statements at campus events where students proudly declared ‘We are Hamas,’ and ‘We echo Hamas.'”
- Material support for a terrorist organization is a serious matter, too dangerous to leave for university presidents to solve. They frequently appear more concerned about placating the radical elements on their campuses.
- Many of these academic institutions receive federal funding. However, Title IV of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 “prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, and national origin in programs and activities receiving federal financial assistance.” Title IV also covers “violations based on religion.”
- If a university allows material support for a terrorist organization, or discrimination against Jews, its federal financial assistance should be cancelled at once.
Venezuela Socialist President Maduro Annexes Part of Guyana By Pamela Geller
December 6, 2023 – The catastrophic consequence of the absence of America’s strong, moral hand. Another frightful crisis at the hands of a Democrat regime orchestrating America’s suicide.
Maduro ravished his own country. He took Venezuela from a rich democracy to a dictatorship on the brink of collapse, plagued by economic and political chaos. So he moves in on Guyana where oil was found on the coast of Guyana.
Trump slapped sanctions on Maduro, many of his senior officials but the days of American greatness are over. For now.
Maduro has done everything he can to prevent swelling popular discontent from limiting his power. His tactics place him among a special league of democratic authoritarians like Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, who has used a referendum to expand the powers of his presidency, imprisoned political prisoners, attacked the judiciary branch of his government, and restricted free press in the wake of an attempted coup against him last year. Both leaders use crisis as a pretext for strengthening executive power while leaving the shells of their country’s democratic institutions intact.
Mike Pence Finally Comes Out As The Judas Iscariot of the Trump Administration! EMERALD ROBINSON
The center of the anti-Trump “resistance” was inside the White House the entire time
DEC 6, 2023 – Today the news finally broke that Former Vice President Mike Pence has agreed to officially testify against President Trump in a courtroom. That’s because Pence was added to a witness list in the Georgia election interference trial being run by Democrat AG Fani Willis.
Conveniently, Mike Pence was in Canada on the speaking circuit at the time the news broke — so that he could avoid the roasting from conservative media at this latest betrayal.
Earlier this year, it was confirmed that Pence had testified in special counsel Jack Smith’s federal probe as well.
Not to mention the stories now circulating about how Pence was heavily involved in the January 6th operation conducted by the FBI.
That’s a lot of treachery — but there are still plenty of Republican voters who have no idea just how much Mike Pence betrayed them.
Let’s go back in time to see how many years have passed since it became clear that Mike Pence was the Judas Iscariot of the Trump Administration.
For example, why did Mike Pence’s staff help Democrats in testimony during the first impeachment of President Trump in 2019?
Leo Hohmann: IMF Boss Says Governments Need to Impose Global Carbon Tax on Citizens to Punish Them for Using Energy by Leo Hohmann
Dec. 6, 2023 11:00 am – Kristalina Georgieva, a Bulgarian economist who serves as the managing director of the International Monetary Fund, said Monday that the IMF wants to see countries implement punishing new carbon taxes to “fight climate change.”
She delivered her dire message at the United Nations COP28 climate summit, where globalists in attendance flew in on jets and you can bet they are being chauffeured around in luxury automobiles and dining on the finest cuts of beef and other delicacies.
“We are very keen to give the biggest possible incentive for decarbonization, which is putting a price on carbon,” Georgieva said at the summit in the United Arab Emirates. “That price needs to go up, up, up if we are to speed up decarbonization.”
The IMF boss also tried to justify carbon taxes by saying they would raise revenues for governments.
“We are a huge proponent of carbon price,” she said, in a bold statement that seems to indicate only the rich will be allowed to maintain their current lifestyles if the globalists get their way on climate change policies.
Check out her audacious comments in the video below.
Arizona Sheriff Mark Lamb: Every Illegal Alien Crossing Border Received $5,000 Gift Card (VIDEO) By Jim Hoft
Dec. 6, 2023 9:30 am – Pinal County Arizona Sheriff Mark Lamb released a video on Tuesday.
Sheriff Lamb alleges that illegal border crossers in Arizona are immediately given a $5,000 gift card once they step foot inside the United States – and free plane ticket!
They really do win the Lotto when they enter America!
The the House Committee on Homeland Security released a report last week on the massive cost illegal aliens has on the country. According to the committee, the so-called asylum seekers who enter the US illegally are costing the government $451 billion a year.
Sheriff Mark Lamb: We have our government giving people that came into this country illegally $5000 gift card. Hey, folks. Sheriff Lamb here. So I got a truth bomb for you. You know, we see all these people coming across, mostly military-age men coming from China, from Africa, from all over the world, most of them not even being vetted when they come in here. But here’s what’s really going bother you. When these folks come across and they’re processed, they are being given a cell phone, a plane ticket to wherever they want to go in this country, so probably to a community near you and a $5,000 Visa card. So while this Christmas season, you’re struggling to keep your lights on, while you’re struggling to pay your rent, put Christmas presents under the tree for your kids. We have our government giving people that came into this country illegally $5,000 gift cards. That’s the truth, folks. God Bless.
[Ed.: That should really help them contribute to the economy!]
Muckraker Report: Secret Chinese Staging Hotel Exposed in Colombia with Military-Aged Men Heading to Open US Border (VIDEO) By Jim Hoft
Dec. 6, 2023 9:45 am – Muckraker.com released another explosive investigative piece on the illegal invasion of America.
This week Muckraker was in Colombia where he found a hotel packed with Chinese nationals and military-aged men. The hotel in Pasto, Colombia, was packed with Chinese nationals heading to America and eager to cross Joe Biden’s open border.
Thanks to Joe Biden there is an entire industry that sprouted up for foreign nationals headed to the United States where they will be showered with benefits and protected by the far-left America-last regime. Last year the US spent approximately $451 billion to take care of Joe Biden’s illegal invaders. [Emphasis added]
According to Muckraker:
In Pasto, Colombia, Muckraker found a hotel packed to the brim with military-aged Chinese nationals who were headed to the United States.
During our stay at the Cabańas Rio Mayo Hotel, we were the only non-Chinese visitors. All of the signs posted around the hotel come with a Chinese translation, indicating that this is a common meeting place for people of Chinese origin.
There are so many Chinese nationals headed to the US, that they have established dedicated hubs along their migration route such as this hotel.
From this point, the Chinese will either cross the Darién Gap and trek up to the United States or will fly directly into Mexico if they have a visa.
Hamas Terrorists Get “Lifetime Pensions” With US Dollars By Pamela Geller
December 5, 2023 – In addition to the untold wealth the Biden regime bestows on Palestinians terrorist groups, the Biden regime gave billions to Iran who funds Hamas and Hezb’Allah.
Mat Staver, Liberty Counsel:
The Palestinian Authority (PA) uses “humanitarian aid” to give lifetime pensions to the families of terrorists who successfully kill Israeli Jews.
In September 2023 alone, the PA paid out 25 million dollars in “Pay to Slay” terror pensions — lifetime monthly payments to Palestinians or their families who have killed Jews. As of the end of October, those monthly payments have risen to 27 million, thanks to the rash of terrorists who managed to kill 1,400 Jews on October 7. That number will grow.
Now Joe Biden wants to give the PA 100 million dollars MORE, effectively funding “pay to slay” pensions for each of the October 7 terrorists who succeeded in killing more Jews in a single day than any other since the Holocaust.
PA will pay released terrorists 19,500 shekels a month for life
By: Itamar Marcus | Nov 27, 2023
Nine of the first 78 terrorists that Israel released in the exchange deal with Hamas for Israeli hostages have served more than 5 years in Israeli prison. PA law grants every terrorist prisoner a monthly salary from the day of arrest until the day of release, with the salary rising the longer they’re in prison. For terrorists who are imprisoned for more than five years, the PA continues to pay their final monthly prison salary for life.
The PA will be paying 4 of the released terrorists 2,000 shekels each month for life, while the 5 who are Jerusalem residents will receive a bonus of 300 shekels a month and thus a total of 2,300 shekels a month. These 9 released terrorists will be receiving a total of 19,500 shekels each month for life from the PA.
The Palestinian Authority has been paying over 300 million dollars a year in monthly salaries to terrorist prisoners and in monthly allowances to families of dead terrorists. Since October 7th, Israel has arrested thousands of terrorists, 2,000 in Judea and Samaria alone, and thousands more in southern Israel and the Gaza Strip, in addition to the thousands of terrorists who have been killed. All of these imprisoned terrorists and the families of the dead terrorists will be receiving monthly rewards, in the PA program known as Pay-for-Slay, as soon as the Palestinian Authority can finish the bureaucracy.
Palestinian Media Watch has been alerting the donor countries since 2011 that they are either directly funding or facilitating terror rewards, which is both immoral and illegal under their own laws. Now that the PA will have even greater monthly expenses to reward all these thousands of terrorists and their families, the US, EU, Norway, and other donor countries should be expecting the PA to beg for even more money, now that thousands more terrorists are added to their monthly payroll.

Over 10,000 Male, Military Age Migrants Crossed Border in Past 24 Hours For the Second Day in a Row By Pamela Geller
Biden’s invading army. It’s a bloody nightmare.
December 5, 2023 – Per CBP sources, there were over 10,000 migrant encounters at the southern border yesterday, including 8,500+ illegal immigrants apprehended by BP, & 1,600+ at ports of entry. 168 Chinese nationals crossed in San Diego sector as well. This was the second day in row of 10,000 (Bill Melugin).
This is a nightmare.

WATCH: Devastating Testimony to Congress from Jewish Students About Jew Hatred on American College Campuses By Pamela Geller
December 5, 2023 – Today, Jewish college students are telling Congress about the raging antisemitism sweeping their campuses.
“Being a Jew at NYU….” shocking…..
The idea that cynical college administrations are hiding behind ‘free speech protections” when pro-Israel speakers, counter jihad experts, conservative voices et al have long since been banned on campuses is beneath contempt.
Why are our taxpayer monies funding these institutions?
.“I should not be here today…I should be taking in…my senior year of college…I am because 36 hours ago, I, along with most of campus, sought refuge in our rooms as classmates and professors chanted proudly for the genocide of Jews. ” – University of Pennsylvania student Eyal Yakoby
“On my way to class I was greeted with chalk (writing) ‘90% of pigs [Koran 5:60?] are gas-chambered’”
“Being a Jew at NYU is experiencing how ‘diversity, equity, and inclusion’ is not a value that NYU extends to its Jewish students,” says NYU student Bella Ingber on the appalling hatred she has endured since October 7 — while leftist administrators do nothing.
Exclusive – Kash Patel: Biden Unfreezing $6B for Iran Funded Proxy Forces Attacking U.S. Ships, Troops KRISTINA WONG
4 Dec 2023 – Kash Patel, former President Donald Trump’s Pentagon chief of staff, in an exclusive interview with Breitbart News on Monday slammed President Biden for reversing the Trump administration’s designation of the Houthis as a terrorist organization, in the wake of the group’s attack against a U.S. war ship in the Red Sea.
“The Trump administration prioritized designating terrorist groups as terrorist groups, both at the State Department at Treasury and across all other government agencies. And we designated the Houthis as a terrorist group, even though a lot of people in the media were like, ‘Oh you can’t do that, we won’t be able to provide humanitarian aid.’”
“Well, what’s more important than humanitarian aid, unfortunately, is them killing us and preventing that from happening. And we did it. We got it through. … And then, in the first or second month of the Biden administration, they rescinded that designation,” he said.
Patel, who also served as Trump’s deputy director of national intelligence, added:
It just shows you what they think is priority. We just thought differently… . Foreign Terrorist Organizations were Trump’s top priority. We went after them. We killed al Qaeda senior leadership. We wiped out the emir of ISIS, we took out [Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps Quds Force leader Qasem] Soleimani — all of those people were foreign terrorist organizations. We struck Houthi foreign terrorists. We took out al Shabaab [and] Hezbollah leaders.
And I don’t think there’s an appropriate response that Joe Biden can now craft. We are such a weak position that I don’t know if anything short of escalating to a war effort for the United States is something that’s going to help resolve this situation. I’m not saying we should do that. I’m just saying we’ve been put in such a bad position that if we’re just going to kick some tin cans downrange and help let the media write disinformation campaigns about how we’re defeating the enemy, we’re gonna continue to lose.
Loud Fart Erupts: John Kerry’s Speech on Climate Change Overshadowed by Audible Call to Reduce Personal Methane Contributions (VIDEO) By Jim Hᴏft
Dec. 5, 2023 8:15 am – In an ironic twist at the Climate Change Conference in Dubai, John Kerry, the Biden regime’s climate envoy, may have inadvertently highlighted the need for personal methane reduction in a manner most unexpected.
There’s a saying that “actions speak louder than words,” and Kerry, an ardent proponent of reducing emissions, might have taken this quite literally.
A loud fart sound can be heard as the former secretary of state was lecturing about the climate scam, the New York Post reported.
“I find myself getting more and more militant because I do not understand how adults who are in a position of responsibility can be avoiding responsibility for taking away those things that are killing people on a daily basis…” Kerry asserted, just before the crude sound of passing gas echoed over the microphone. The crowd, seemingly oblivious to the interruption, broke into applause.
CNN’s Becky Anderson, Managing Editor of CNN Abu Dhabi, sitting to Kerry’s right, was caught off-guard. She quickly turned her head aside and subtly covered her mouth – perhaps in anticipation of any olfactory assault.
Fatih Birol, Executive Director of the International Energy Agency, maintained his composure, nodding and shifting his gaze as if deeply contemplating Kerry’s words.
Unfazed, Kerry continued, “And the reality is that the climate crisis and the health crisis are one and the same.”
John Kerry is a walking climate crisis.

Guyana on High Alert Against Maduro’s Invasion Threat – Referendum’s Turnout Is Said To Have Been Very Low – Venezuelan Voters Also Allegedly Rejected Arbitration by International Court By Paul Serran
Dec. 5, 2023 7:00 am – Maduro is hell-bent on getting all that Guyanese oil and gas.
Now that all over the world frontiers have begun to be redrawn left and right, it is not all that surprising when a down-on-luck socialist dictator from Venezuela decides to have a crack at snatching 74% of his oil-rich neighbor Guyana’s territory.
After all, if post-WW2 borders are being moved around, why not one that was settled in 1899? The international mediation by the US and Russia awarded the area to England, no less.
After massive oil reserves were found in Guyanese territorial waters, the secular claim by Venezuela was rekindled in a spectacular fashion.
It arises now that Guyana ‘will remain vigilant’ after the Venezuelan referendum rejected the international court’s jurisdiction over the territorial dispute.
Tensions over oil-rich Esequibo rose ahead of the five-question Venezuelan referendum.
Argentina’s Javier Milei Prepares a ‘Shock Package’ of Legislation for His Very First Day: ‘It’s a New Social Contract’ By Paul Serran
Dec. 4, 2023 7:20 pm – New Argentine President intends to start his term kicking down the door on the very first day.
While ‘chainsaw’ Milei has somewhat softened his rhetoric and changed a few names on his team, apparently he intends to enact meaningful reforms and repeal a voluminous body of legislation in his very first act after the inauguration on December 10.
Javier Milei plans to present to an extraordinary session of Congress a highly ambitious ‘omnibus law’ project to start off his government.
Dr. Peter McCullough Urges Preparedness on News of Chinese Pneumonia Outbreak
Besides the traditional ‘ministry law’ – that establishes the organizational chart of each new administration – he is preparing a ‘shock package’: deregulation of economic laws, simplification of the tax system, labor modifications, and the privatization of state companies.
La Nacion reported:
“As LA NACION learned from high-ranking sources at La Libertad Avanza, in recent days the idea was added to the menu to include a ‘political reform’ that contemplates, among other points, the suppression of the [primaries law] PASO, in addition to modifications linked to party financing. This chapter was being written at this time, with one week left until the inauguration.
‘It is a living document, in which things constantly come and go. But without a doubt what is proposed is not only to change the organizational chart, it is a new social contract’, highlighted a close collaborator of Milei.”
He only has 38 deputies and seven senators so it’s unclear how he will navigate the legislative.
“In the libertarian environment they cling to the reading of the ‘social mandate’ left by the runoff and argue: ‘They voted for Javier to do this’. The libertarian leadership assures that all the reforms will be integrated into a single text that will be sent ‘on day one’. But others in the space began to warn behind closed doors that Milei should polish the legislative strategy and dose the reforms over time.”
His shock package entails a considerable shrinking of the state structure, reducing the current 18 ministries to eight or nine portfolios.
“The economic part of the project would contemplate strong deregulation in different sectors, such as mining and oil, in addition to an infrastructure chapter to ‘generate legal security for large investments’. ‘There are 2,000 laws that regulate economic activity and many that must be eliminated to promote investment’, said a leading libertarian contributor. The future chancellor, Diana Mondino, said this week in statements to CNN Radio: ‘I don’t know how many (laws) are going to be repealed. But there are many, many, many’.”
The ‘money drain’ public companies to be converted into public limited companies via direct privatization, while others share ownership could be transferred to employees.
When it comes to taxes, libertarians talk about ‘tax simplification’, a.k.a. tax cuts.
The Gateway Pundit Sends Out Official Letter – Asks Speaker Johnson to Investigate Why One of America’s Top Conservative Outlets is Being Censored in Congress By Benjamin Wetmore
Dec. 4, 2023 6:00 pm – Last Friday, several Capitol Hill offices reported that The Gateway Pundit website was blocked by the House internet provider.
Rep. Matt Gaetz announced on his popular podcast that he could not get to The Gateway Pundit website. The Florida representative also posted a photo https://twitter.com/i/status/1730704657150869864 of what he was seeing when he went to TheGatewayPundit.com
The Gateway Pundit and our reporter Jordan Conradson spoke with several sources on Capitol Hill after this discovery. We actually had one other office notify of this earlier in the day on Friday. After discussing this with our IT experts, it appears that the internet block was caused by someone at the U.S. House of Representatives.
TGP reporter Jordan Conradson reached out to several offices and we also inquired whether there were other conservative media outlets that were also being censored.
The Gateway Pundit’s editor, Jim Hoft, wrote to Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) on Monday asking that he investigate the matter. We also would like to know how this ban came into effect.
And, of course, we requested that the ban be removed.

What’s Going On? Pentagon Joins US House – Blocks Access to The Gateway Pundit Website: Report By Jim Hᴏft
Dec. 4, 2023 7:00 pm – In a recent development, The Gateway Pundit, one of the top conservative websites in the country today, reported that its access has been blocked on networks within both the United States House of Representatives and the Pentagon.
On Thursday, sources from Capitol Hill informed The Gateway Pundit that attempts to access the website from the House network were unsuccessful.
A staff member from Congressman Paul Gosar’s office detailed ongoing access problems for the past two weeks.
“Wanted to notify you that I have been unable to access the Gateway Pundit on the House network for the past two weeks,” according to the email. [Emphasis added]
Dr. Peter McCullough Urges Preparedness on News of Chinese Pneumonia Outbreak
TGP Washington DC reporter Jordan Conradson contacted Rep. Gosar’s Communications Director, Anthony Foti, who confirmed that some government-issued computers used by Gosar’s staff displayed the error code seen above upon visiting our site. According to the individual who sent the aforementioned email, this also occurs on his government-issued laptop when connected to his home network.
Conradson was informed by an IT specialist associated with the House that a firewall is in place to filter out “unauthorized” sites as designated by the House Administration Office. Despite repeated attempts to gain clarity and official comment from the House Administrative Committee, responses remained elusive.
This is not surprising, as they have also refused to provide Conradson with press credentials to cover Capitol Hill since we applied nearly four months ago in August.
On Friday, Rep. Matt Gaetz acknowledged the censorship of The Gateway Pundit within the House. During his podcast, Gaetz stated that access to the website was blocked according to House policy and expressed his intention to investigate the matter.

4 dead, 50 injured in Islamic State-claimed blast at Catholic Church in Philippines by: Sara Higdon
12/04/2023 – On Sunday, an explosion at a Catholic mass in the Philippines killed at least four people and injured 50 others. Officials said the blast is believed to have been caused by a bomb after fragments of a 16-mm mortar were found a the scene.
The Islamic State group said its members had detonated the bomb on Telegram, Reuters reports.
According to NBC, the explosion occurred in a gymnasium at Mindanao State University in the city of Marawi, and Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. blamed “foreign terrorists” for the attack.

Hillary Clinton Raises Concern on Climate Change Body Count: ‘We are Beginning to Count and Record Climate-Related Deaths’ (VIDEO) By Jim Hᴏft
Dec. 4, 2023 11:00 am – Failed presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton, attended the 28th annual United Nations climate conference (COP28) in Dubai to lie about the number of deaths attributed to climate change, focusing on issues caused by extreme heat, which experts referred to as “global boiling.”
Speaking to an international audience, Clinton suggested that climate-related deaths are being meticulously tallied, indicating an ‘already high’ and growing body count.
“We are seeing and beginning to pay attention and to count and record the deaths that are related to climate. And by far the biggest killer is extreme heat,” she said.
She referenced a European heatwave allegedly responsible for 61,000 deaths and insinuated that unrecorded. She also claimed that climate change-related deaths can be influenced by gender. According to Harvard Business Review, “We can’t fight climate change without fighting for gender equity.”
Clinton said, “I mean, even in Europe last summer, which has the ability to count and figure out what happened, they recorded 61,000 deaths because heat in Europe, we don’t have that kind of number yet from Africa, Asia, Latin America. But we know and estimate that we probably could measure about 500,000 deaths, and the majority of those are women and girls, and particularly pregnant women.”
[Ed.: Hillary obviously keeps up with the news, and that is a good thing. Otherwise, she might not be aware of the death count! The Clintons should stay up to date about death counts, when they already have 71 in their own family…]

BIDEN BORDER CRISIS: Massive Group of Military-Age Men From China Invade US Border in California (VIDEO) By Cristina Laila
Dec. 4, 2023 2:40 pm – Joe Biden’s America.
A massive group of military-age men from China invaded the southern border in California on Monday.
Hundreds of thousands of illegal migrants from all over the world are traveling through the Darien Gap en route to the United States every month.
Illegals from Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and South and Central America are making the trek to the United States.
The latest group of illegals to invade California were mainly from China.
Jacumba, which is about 75 miles east of San Diego, has been a hangout for thousands of illegals after crossing the border. The high desert has been a drop-off location for smugglers for illegals to live in makeshift camps.
The group Border Kindness, which is a non-governmental organization that helps provide resources for illegals, has provided food and water in areas where terrain is difficult to traverse in the San Diego mountains.
A large group of illegals, mostly from China, crossed through the open gaps on the border wall in Jacumba Hot Springs, California.
Video posted to X by Jorge Ventura Media on Monday showed the group of military-age men lined up in front of Border Patrol agents.

[Ed.: These poor Chinese (military age men) refugees only want to come to the US to be free and enjoy capitalism. No need to worry. Everything is under control. But we do need to closely watch these Maga Republicans. They are the greatest threat to our Democracy!]
Blinken doubles down on pressuring Israel to ‘minimize further casualties of innocent Palestinians’ BY CHRISTINE DOUGLASS-WILLIAMS
DEC 3, 2023 8:30 AM – The Biden administration persistently refrains from addressing the reason for Israel’s war on Hamas, the goal of which is to obliterate the state of Israel, and the massacre of its citizens on October 7. This video gives insight into what Israel has suffered: see HERE. Warning: it’s disturbing. Blinken also neglects to mention Hamas’ use of human shields as he constantly draws attention to the collateral damage of war on Hamas.
The Biden administration participating in the gang-up against Israel at the worst possible time. Israel’s response to the horror of October 7 has now been twisted to make Israel appear to be the abuser and the Palestinians as the victims. As a result, ISIS-like Hamas is virtually off the hook. Blinken did not “appear to set down red lines that would trigger US actions.” But when might he do so? World War II, which was the “deadliest and most destructive war in human history, claimed between 40 and 50 million lives, displaced tens of millions of people, and cost more than $1 trillion to prosecute.” What would Blinken say about the civilian lives in that just war?
This escalating level of propaganda against Israel, whose citizens were victimized in the most sickening way, is a mystery revealed for those who couldn’t understand antisemitism and the warped mindset that led to the Holocaust.

Hamas official hints at another attack on Israel, bigger than Oct. 7 By Charlotte Hazard
“I can promise that a war of liberation is coming, not just another October 7,” Hamdan said.
December 2, 2023 – Atop Hamas official hinted during an interview with Lebanese media that another attack against Israel is in the works, likely bigger than Oct. 7.
Osama Hamdan, a senior representative of Hamas in Lebanon, said during an interview earlier this week that a “war of liberation” was coming.
The interview was transcribed by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), according to The Daily Wire.
“You said that if the Israelis would make new arrests, after all the prisoners are released from [Israeli] prisons, you would carry out another operation,” the interviewer said during the interview, according to the outlet. “So can you promise another October 7?”
“I can promise that a war of liberation is coming, not just another October 7,” Hamdan answered.
The interviewer asked if this attack would happen soon in the future, to which Hamdan answered, “I do not think it is far off.”

Leo Hohmann: FBI Tells Newsweek that Trump Supporters are Enemies of the State and Must be Secretly Tracked, Monitored, Investigated By Leo Hohmann
Dec. 2, 2023 1:40 pm – Will Trump supporters start to disappear leading up to and following the 2024 election? The FBI appears to be laying a narrative that hints of unprecedented government actions on American soil.
Have you ever voted for Donald J. Trump?
Have you ever posted a comment to any social media platform that was even remotely favorable towards Trump?
If so, you may be on an FBI watchlist.
According to an October 4 report in Newsweek, “the federal government believes that the threat of violence and major civil disturbance around the 2024 U.S. presidential election is so great that it has quietly created a new category of extremists that it seeks to track and counter: Donald Trump‘s army of MAGA followers.”
Notice the term “army.” There’s a sinister purpose behind that word. The government, in cooperation with its corporate partners at Newsweek, are trying to paint a picture of an organized military force ready to go to war with Trump as its leader.
As a member of the conservative movement in America, I can tell you that it is the most unorganized, disjointed and fragmented movement in the country. It is not in any way monolithic and as such poses no threat to the government or anyone else.
But this is who our government has targeted for monitoring and tracking.
They’re not worried about the Chinese men of military age pouring over the open border at a rate of 2,000 to 4,000 per month under Biden. They’re not worried about Iranian sleeper cells. NO, they’re worried about American citizens on the Trump team who want to see their candidate in the White House. [Emphasis added]

FTX’s Sam Bankman-Fried Worried About Safety, Learning To Survive Behind Bars – Convicted Billionaire Thought About Paying for Protection, According To Former Inmate at MDC By Paul Serran
Dec. 2, 2023 5:40 pm – 2023 turned things around – for bad – for former Billionaire FTX CEO, Sam Bankman-Fried.
In January, Bankman-Fried was arrested in the Bahamas. In August remanded to jail by Judge Lewis Kaplan for witness tampering. In November, he was found guilty of all 7 counts of fraud and conspiracy.
But his story hasn’t ended: as he awaits sentencing in March – and of course, the appeal from his lawyers, SBF is learning to survive in prison – which can be tricky.
It now arises that he was ‘reportedly worried for his safety’ during his pretrial detention time at the Brooklyn Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC), and even considered paying another inmate for ‘protection’.
The revelations come from former New York mob ‘enforcer’ Gene Borrello.
Borrello told crypto blogger Tiffany Fong that he spent time with Bankman-Fried in the lead-up to his criminal trial.
The ‘crypto bro’ was ‘out of his element’ in jail, worried for his safety. A prisoner attempted to make SBF fearful, in order to extort him for ‘protection’ money.
Coin Telegraph reported:
“However, Bankman-Fried was housed in a unit of the Brooklyn Metropolitan Detention Center that separated the wealthy and government cooperators from the general prison population, said Borello. ‘I kept saying: It’s not dangerous in here. You don’t need protection. Don’t worry about it. You ain’t got to pay nobody nothing. Don’t listen to these fucking kids’.”
Borrello confronted the other prisoner, leading to a fight.
“Borrello recalled speaking to Bankman-Fried, saying, ‘When he talks to you, he puts his head down. He’s very timid. He talks very nervous’. He also said he asked the former billionaire what he spent his money on.
‘I said, ‘What are you doing with the money? What kind of watch did you have?’ He said, ‘I had an Apple Watch’, Borrello recounted. ’I said, ‘What kind of car were you driving?’ He said, ‘A 2020 Toyota Camry’. Me and my friends go, ‘So, what the fuck did you steal the money for? You wanna look at it?’’”
Borello can’t go into ‘gen-pop’ due to his perceived wealth, because other inmates would again try to extort him.
“’He just didn’t understand how much trouble he was in’, Borrello said. ‘We were trying to explain to him that this is the feds, you’re accused of stealing billions of dollars. […] He just didn’t understand how screwed was until we started breaking it down to him’.”
Bankman-Fried was more nervous about jail than about his case – and held the belief that he’d only spend 20 years in prison.
“’We looked at him like he was crazy. I kept trying to explain to him, you’re never going to see the outside again’.”
A month ago, Bankman-Fried was found guilty of seven counts of money laundering, fraud and conspiracy, facing a maximum sentence – according to guidelines – of 115 years in jail.

Kamala Harris Attacks Israel Over Hamas War: “Too Many Innocent Palestinians Have Been Killed” By Kristinn Taylor
Dec. 2, 2023 3:00 pm – Kamala Harris attacked Israel over its conduct of the war with Hamas in Gaza in remarks made Saturday at the COP28 climate summit in Dubai, saying, “too many innocent Palestinians have been killed.”
The criticism comes as the Biden administration is facing enormous political pressure by the Hamas wing of the Democratic Party with reports of Arab Muslims and progressives in swing states including Michigan saying they will not vote for Biden-Harris in the 2024 election because of the administration’s support for Israel. Biden went through a struggle session with Arab Muslims at the White House on October 26 in which he criticized himself for doubting the high number of Palestinian casualties in Gaza claimed by the Hamas-controlled Gaza Health Ministry: “I’m sorry. I’m disappointed in myself,” he told the group, according to two people familiar with the meeting. “I will do better.” (via the Washington Post)
Harris began her remarks with a recitation of the horrors of the October 7 attack on Israel by Hamas and support for Israel’s right to defend itself, noting that Americans were killed and are still being held hostage. Harris praised the release of about half the hostages held by Hamas that was facilitated by the now ended ceasefire agreement. Harris went on to differentiate the Palestinians in Gaza from Hamas and then blasted Israel for its conduct of the war.
