The pedo Satanic Khazarians posing as both Jews and NAZIS in WWII, when they realized they were going to lose WWII, mass murdered hundreds of thousands of innocent Jews, called them millions of Jews, then created Israel from the ashes of their deceit.
What's happening in Ukraine right now? Same thing. This time though, the playbook is known…
Ukraine = Ethnic cleansing
Ukraine = mass genocide
Ukraine = Crimes against humanity

Joe Biden Meeting Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House as He Prepares Another $45 Billion in Aid
President Joe Biden plans to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Wednesday, in his latest effort to show solidarity with Ukraine after the Russian invasion. The president’s public schedule remains empty, but reports noted Tuesday that Zelensky would travel to Washington, DC, and appear in person on Capitol Hill to lobby for continued support for his country. (UPDATE: Zelensky himself confirmed the news of his trip on Wednesday at 1:00 a.m. EST. The White House confirmed plans for Biden and Zelensky to meet and participate in a press conference on Wednesday afternoon.) Zelensky will not leave Washington, DC, without a warm welcome from Biden, as reports detail plans for the Ukrainian president to visit the White House. The president has taken pride in his unfailing support for Ukraine after Russia invaded, rallying American allies to their cause. “The idea that Putin is ever going to defeat Ukraine is beyond comprehension,” Biden said earlier in December after meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron to discuss the ongoing conflict. Biden is eager to announce his decision to provide Patriot missile systems to Ukraine, according to reports, to bolster their defense against Russia, an announcement that is likely to solidify America’s support. Plans are underway for Zelensky to address Congress on Wednesday night, although they are not confirmed due to security reasons.
Congress is already working on providing an additional $45 billion in military and economic aid for Ukraine in the massive $1.7 trillion omnibus spending bill currently making its way through Congress. The additional spending is on top of the existing $66 billion already approved by Congress for Ukraine and its defense. News of funding for a proposed Ukrainian Independence Park in Washington, DC, also emerged after members of Congress released the text of the massive spending package.

Rand Paul Wheels Out Pelosi-Schumer's 4,000 Page Spending Bill on Cart, Shows Just How Absurd It Is
Kentucky GOP Sen. Rand Paul is known for, each year around Christmastime, highlighting the wasteful and thoughtless ways the federal government sees fit to spend your money. Well, he should consider himself lucky this year: Santa brought him a present big enough it had to be wheeled out onto a stage for all to see. Unfortunately, “Santa” in this case is the triumvirate of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. They helped broker a deal by which a $1.7 trillion omnibus spending bill will likely clear both the House and Senate — with some GOP votes in the latter chamber so as to not hold up the process — in time for the Christmas break. “The legislation includes $772.5 billion for non-defense discretionary programs and $858 billion in defense funding, according to a bill summary from Democratic Sen. Patrick Leahy, chair of the Senate Committee on Appropriations,” CNN reported Tuesday. “The sweeping package includes roughly $45 billion in emergency assistance to Ukraine and NATO allies, boosts in spending for disaster aid, college access, child care, mental health and food assistance, more support for the military and veterans and additional funds for the US Capitol Police, according to Leahy’s summary and one from Sen. Richard Shelby of Alabama, the top Republican on the Senate Appropriations Committee. It also includes several major Medicaid provisions, including one that could disenroll up to 19 million people from the nation’s health insurance program for low-income Americans.”
Keep in mind that the copy of Thomas Pynchon’s “Gravity’s Rainbow” that’s been sitting unread on your library shelf for the last decade is a little over a thousand pages. The Pelosi-Schumer-McConnell bill is over 4,000 pages long and written in language so opaque it makes Pynchon’s prose read like “Goodnight Moon.” Congress is expected to hop-to and get this thing passed before Dec. 23 when funding for the federal government runs out. Paul, ever a grinch to the establishment, wheeled the “toxic” plan out in front of reporters just so they got an idea of what 4,000 pages of hastily assembled congressional profligacy looks like. “I brought with me the omni, 4,155 pages. When was it produced? In the dead of the night — 1:30 in the morning when it was released,” Paul said. “Now people argue it is conservatives’ fault, you don’t have the Christmas spirit, and somehow you’re holding up the government,” he continued. “Well, whose job is it to produce this? The people in charge of spending. The people in charge of both of the parties. “When did they know that this would be necessary? Well, it is in the law. Sept. 30. You’ve got nine months, almost ten months to produce a plan. They weren’t ready on Sept. 30, so they voted themselves 90 more days. They weren’t ready last week either, so they voted themselves another week. And now we have it at 1:30 in the morning this morning. “But what’s the clamor? The clamor is to vote! ‘Vote now! Let’s get it done. Why are you standing in the way of spending?'” he continued.

Steve Scalise privately being prepped by Republicans to snatch gavel from McCarthy: Report
As House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy seeks to fend off intraparty opposition to his bid to become the next House speaker, several Republicans are reportedly huddling behind another top member of their party for a possible leadership challenge. A group of lawmakers has approached No. 2 Republican Rep. Steve Scalise (LA) about running for House speaker in the next Congress should McCarthy’s bid fail, telling him to “just be ready,” sources familiar told Politico. Scalise could offer a more agreeable alternative to McCarthy, as the House minority leader has faced opposition from a handful of Republicans that has threatened to derail his speakership bid. However, the closed-door conversations could put Scalise in a difficult position. Publicly, the Louisiana Republican has declined to comment on the matter, instead pointing to previous statements he made endorsing McCarthy and maintaining he would not run against him. Instead, Scalise launched a bid for House majority leader, being elected to the No. 2 position in November after running uncontested. Meanwhile, Scalise has kept a low profile while McCarthy fights off intraparty opposition. “Does he want to be speaker? Absolutely. But is he going to screw Kevin? Absolutely not,” one person close to Scalise told the outlet. Scalise has not been organizing support or making calls related to a possible speakership bid, according to Politico. Some conservatives have hinted they would back the Louisiana Republican should he run but maintained there’s a list of other possible contenders they may consider. “Some of those candidates have expressed interest to us — or that they would be interested once it’s clear Kevin McCarthy won’t be speaker,” Rep. Bob Good (R-VA) told Politico. However, he added that it’s difficult to name names without risking the ire of McCarthy and his allies. To secure the gavel, McCarthy needs a majority of voting members — in this case, 218 lawmakers — to vote for him when his nomination goes before the entire House floor in January. The GOP will hold a 222-213 advantage in the House for the next two years, giving McCarthy little room for error. At least five GOP lawmakers have publicly said they won’t back his speakership bid, and McCarthy can’t afford to lose more than four votes, or else he risks sinking his chances when the House meets to vote on Jan. 3. That list includes Good, Andy Biggs (AZ), Matt Gaetz (FL), Ralph Norman (SC), and Matt Rosendale (MT). It’s not clear who Republicans would present as an alternative nominee to McCarthy, although Biggs has already announced a challenge to the minority leader’s bid.
If no candidate wins a majority of the votes cast during the roll call vote at the beginning of the Congress, the House will repeat the roll call until a speaker is elected. Congress has not had to repeat a roll call vote to elect a House speaker since 1923. McCarthy has vowed not to back down, noting he would go through several rounds of ballots until he wins the speaker position.

Trump's taxes released: Four key takeaways after obsessed-over info finally made public
The House Ways and Means Committee voted on Tuesday to release a trove of documents detailing Donald Trump’s tax returns, giving public access to long-awaited information related to the former president’s financial records. The panel voted 24-16 to release six years' worth of Trump's tax returns to the broader House of Representatives after a closed-door meeting on Capitol Hill on Tuesday, with the Joint Committee on Taxation posting a separate report online shortly after. The release comes after House Democrats gained access to the records earlier this month, seeking to examine whether the IRS audit of the former president was conducted "fully and appropriately." The records detail how much Trump paid, or didn’t pay, in income, deductions, and taxes during his White House term. Here are four key takeaways from the initial report:
IRS failed to audit Trump’s records properly while in office
Although the Internal Revenue Service is required to conduct annual audits of sitting presidents’ tax returns, the agency failed to do so during Trump’s first two years in office, according to the committee’s report. Throughout the course of Trump’s term, the IRS only began one audit, which wasn’t completed before he left the White House in 2021, the panel found. It’s unclear why the audits were never conducted, and the report does not suggest Trump pressured the agency. “The Ways & Means Committee’s solemn oversight work has revealed the urgent need for legislation to ensure the public can trust in real accountability and transparency during the audit of a sitting president’s tax returns – not only in the case of President Trump, but for any president,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said in a statement. “The American people deserve to know without question that no one is above the law.”
Trump declared negative income during first years in White House
The former president repeatedly paid little to no money in federal income taxes from 2015 to 2020, often claiming major business losses to offset his income, according to the report. Trump declared negative income on his federal returns in 2015, 2016, and 2017, with $0 taxable income for each year, according to the report. However, the report by Democrats on Tuesday found that the former president was making tens of millions of dollars annually from 2015 to 2020. Some of the most notable numbers from the report include Trump’s 2016 and 2017 tax returns, in which he declared negative income and paid only $750 in tax returns for both years, the report shows. In 2020, he similarly reported a negative income and paid $0 — instead claiming a $5.47 million tax refund.
Trump decried release as part of ‘political game’
Trump has long fought against the release of his tax returns while he was in office and even after he left. However, his efforts were shot down by the Supreme Court last month when it ruled the House Ways and Means Committee could have access to his tax returns. While in office, Trump repeatedly claimed his returns were under IRS audits that justified his refusal to release the records to the public. While it was not mandatory to release his tax returns, Trump’s actions broke with a yearslong tradition that saw presidents voluntarily releasing their records to the public. Trump responded to the panel’s vote to release his tax returns publicly on Tuesday, denouncing the move as being politically motivated. "If they are so hell-bent on releasing President Trump's tax returns — which show he built a very successful business and created numerous lucrative assets throughout his career — they should release the tax returns of Nancy Pelosi," said Steven Cheung, a spokesman for Trump, in a statement to Newsweek.
What next?
The House Ways and Means Committee will now prepare to release six years’ worth of Trump’s tax returns for public review, detailing the former president’s tax payments, charitable donations, and other financial obligations. It’s not clear when the full trove of documents will be released to the public, as the panel must first redact any sensitive information, such as Social Security numbers and bank account information. The records will come at a crucial time for Trump as he seeks a third White House bid and attempts to fight off a handful of other criminal investigations.
House Democrats scrambled to get their hands on Trump’s tax returns to release publicly before the end of the year, seeking to accomplish the years long goal before the party cedes control of the lower chamber to Republicans in January.

Marijuana Banking Left Out Of Federal Spending Bill, Congressional Sources Confirm

Latest ‘Twitter Files’ reveal the platform helped the Pentagon’s covert information operations
Adding to recent revelations of Twitter’s coordination with federal law enforcement and intelligence officials to ban domestic users and censor their posts, the latest installment of Elon Musk’s “Twitter Files” shows company executives working with the Pentagon despite Twitter’s pledge to detect and disrupt state-backed information operations on its platform. “But behind the scenes, Twitter gave approval & special protection to the U.S. military’s online psychological influence ops,” wrote investigative journalist Lee Fang. “Despite knowledge that Pentagon propaganda accounts used covert identities, Twitter did not suspend many for around 2 years or more. Some remain active,” wrote Mr. Fang, a reporter for The Intercept. In one 2017 email, a contractor from U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) asked Twitter to add a verification checkmark and “whitelist” several Arab language accounts that the military used to “amplify certain messages.” “If you need any sort of paperwork of verification from our office or [U.S. Special Operations Command], please let me know,” the email reads. “Also, our SOCOM guys mentioned that they’d love to be able to come and meet up for a face-to-face to talk if you think the right Twitter folks would be up for it.” The CENTCOM accounts were used by the military to promote anti-Iranian messages and the U.S.-backed war in Yemen and touted accurate drone strikes that the U.S. claimed took out only combatants. On the same day that Twitter received the email, officials applied a “whitelist” tag to the accounts which exempted them from being identified as spam and made them more likely to trend on the platform. CENTCOM later removed disclosures on the accounts tying them to the U.S. military.
On May 2020, Lisa Roman from Twitter emailed the Pentagon the list of accounts that she said “may violate our rules.” “Many of these secretive U.S. military propaganda accounts, despite detection by Twitter as late as 2020 (but potentially earlier) continued tweeting through this year, some not suspended until May 2022 or later, according to records I reviewed,” Mr. Fang wrote. Other internal emails show that the Pentagon wanted to retroactively classify its work with social media companies, a proposal that drew concern from Twitter lawyer Stacia Cardille. In a July 2020 email to her colleagues Angele Sherrer and James Baker, Ms. Cardille discussed an upcoming classified briefing that the Pentagon was attempting to arrange with social media executives. “I heard from Facebook that they are securing SCIFs in DC and San Francisco for a meeting,” she said, referring to Sensitive Compartmented Information Facilities used to hold highly classified briefings. “I have some significant concerns that the motivations for classifications are slightly different than the ones you outlined in the email below,” Ms. Cardille continued. “I think it is possible DOD is using retroactive classification to obfuscate their activity in this space and that this may represent an overclassification to avoid embarrassment.”
An August 2022 report by the Stanford Internet Observatory exposed hundreds of these accounts across Facebook, Telegram, Twitter and other online platforms. “In subsequent reporting, Twitter was cast as an unbiased hero for removing ‘a network of fake user accounts promoting pro-Western policy positions,’” Mr. Fang wrote. “Media covering the story described Twitter as evenly applying its policies & proactive in suspending the DoD network.” But Mr. Fang said Twitter waited years to suspend Pentagon accounts it had identified as violating its rules and said Twitter’s communications team kept in close touch with reporters to minimize Twitter’s exposure to bad press amid the fallout. In one email, Twitter executives strategized their response to a Washington Post story on the Pentagon’s “sweeping review of clandestine psychological operations.” “I suspect this piece will get more attention in Washington with the DoD angle — we’ll keep you posted,” a Twitter employee wrote, notifying her colleagues that “we declined to comment.” “When the WashPost reported on the scandal, Twitter officials congratulated each other because the story didn’t mention any Twitter employees & focused largely on the Pentagon,” Mr. Fang wrote.
Republicans on the House Oversight and Reform Committee sent letters to Mr. Musk and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg requesting documents and communications from the companies for a congressional probe “to uncover any unconstitutional actions by government officials or agents working on their behalf.” Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee are demanding several Big Tech companies hand over documents for its probe into the Biden administration’s attempts to curtail online freedom of speech.

Stanford puts kibosh on ‘American’ in bid to eliminate ‘harmful language’
Lee Greenwood may want to keep quiet about how he’s proud to be an American the next time he visits Stanford University. The word “American” is one of dozens on the chopping block under the university‘s Elimination of Harmful Language Initiative, launched in May by Stanford‘s University IT department to eradicate “racist, violent and biased” language in websites and code. The 13-page document lists terms under categories such as “Ableist,” “Colonialist” and “Culturally Appropriative,” and suggests replacement words. For “American,” the preferred term is “U.S. Citizen.” “This term often refers to people from the United States only, thereby insinuating that the US is the most important country in the Americas (which is actually made up of 42 countries),” the initiative reads. Among those pushing back is Stanford School of Medicine professor Jay Bhattacharya. “I remember how proud I was when I became a naturalized American citizen. I’m still proud to be an American, and I don’t care that @Stanford disapproves of my using the term,” Mr. Bhattacharya tweeted. The document, now hidden behind a secure sign-in on the website but still available through a link on the Stanford Review, also frowns on “Hispanic” and suggests “Latinx,” even though a 2020 Pew Research poll found only 3% of U.S. Hispanics surveyed use the term. Other disfavored words: “abort” (“can unintentionally raise religious/moral concerns over abortion”); “user” (“associated with those who suffer from substance abuse issues or those who exploit others for their own gain”); “guys” and “seminal” (“reinforces male-dominated language”), and “master” (“Historically, masters enslaved people”). Even “grandfather” and “grandfathered” are out because they have “roots in the ‘grandfather clause’ adopted by Southern states to deny voting rights to Blacks.” Instead, the initiative recommends saying “legacy” or “legacy status.” Indeed, many of the alternatives are wordier. For example, the list recommends replacing “addict” with “person with a substance use disorder,” and “mentally ill” with “person living with a mental health condition.” A “survivor” or a “victim” should be called “a person who has experienced …,” a suggestion sure to give fits to headline writers. Anyone accused of being a “Karen” may not appreciate the replacement, which is “demanding or entitled White woman.” In addition, “people of color” is out, and “BIPOC” — for “Black, Indigenous and people of color” — is in. “Preferred pronouns” should be replaced with “pronouns,” because the word “preferred” suggests “that non-binary gender identity is a choice and a preference,” according to the initiative.
The words on the blacklist — which includes “blacklist” — were compiled in reaction to the December 2020 Statement of Solidarity and Commitment to Action, published by the Stanford CIO Council (CIOC) and People of Color in Technology (POC-IT) affinity group. Needless to say, the list has been roundly mocked on the right. “Stanford disapproves of saying you’re proud to be an American? Whoa,” Twitter owner Elon Musk tweeted. The Stanford Review, the university‘s conservative publication, sought to include as many of the disfavored terms as possible in a Monday post, titled “Big Brother is Watching You: Stanford‘s New ‘Harmful Language’ Guide.” “[W]e are calling on all students to be brave and liberally use all words POC-IT considers harmful, so at least their guide will have another use besides a laughing-stock,” the Stanford Review said.

Elon Musk Says He Will Resign as Twitter CEO but Remain Involved in Key Operations
Epoch Times
Elon Musk said Tuesday he’ll step down as Twitter CEO but remain involved in operations when he can find a suitable replacement. “I will resign as CEO as soon as I find someone foolish enough to take the job! After that, I will just run the software & servers teams,” Musk said on Twitter. On Dec. 18, Musk ran a poll asking whether he should step down from the role less than two months after he bought the social network, pledging that he’d abide by its results. The final tally showed that 57.5 percent voted in favor of Musk’s departure. Fans of Musk noted that the poll might have attracted bots to vote “yes.” Musk, who didn’t elaborate on his remarks that a suitable candidate would be “foolish” to take the role, has been regularly attacked by left-leaning media outlets, journalists, and politicians.
Twitter Files
Since taking over in late October, Musk has endorsed a selection of independent journalists to access and report on records of internal Twitter discussions that paint a picture of a censorship machine that collaborated with government agencies to restrict material, particularly from conservative-leaning accounts. Musk granted access to a trove of documents to several individuals—investigative reporter Matt Taibbi, journalist Bari Weiss, author Michael Shellenberger, and journalist Lee Fang—who have been releasing them in tranches dubbed the “Twitter Files.” The series of reports, published first on Twitter, have focused on Twitter’s censorship tools, the suppression of the New York Post’s Hunter Biden laptop story, the deplatforming of former President Donald Trump, how Twitter executives worked with the FBI and Intelligence Community to censor users, and how the platform helped the U.S. military’s influence operations.
Any New CEO ‘Must Like Pain a Lot’
Before the poll closed, Musk engaged with several posts about him potentially leaving the top job. Musk responded to one user who suggested Musk hire a new CEO, saying, “The question is not finding a CEO, the question is finding a CEO who can keep Twitter alive.” In response to podcast host Lex Fridman, who offered to do the job, Musk said that any new Twitter CEO “must like pain a lot. One catch: you have to invest your life savings in Twitter and it has been in the fast lane to bankruptcy since May. Still want the job?” Last month, Musk told a Delaware court that he’d reduce his time at Twitter and eventually find someone else to take over as its chief.

Arizona (Maricopa County) was printing 19" image ballots and the tabulators were programmed to scan 20" ballots. That was the cheat that broke the Maricopa County voting centers on Election Day.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mC6jr5qkJM
I find it interesting the MSM was pushing the red herring that the printing was too light to pick up, blaming it on toner cartridges. The Fake News was helping to cover up the Maricopa County cheat.
This is a political ruse by the Cabal to slow down the trial by trying to start a fight over Richter. [They] know team Kari has the goods. Delay delay delay was the goal and team Kari didn't take the bait. 19" ballots fed through tabulators that could only read 20" ballots to cause provisional ballots to be produced that got replaced with Hobbs votes at the Runbeck center. [They're] busted.
Holy crap! The sitebooks (check in for voters) in Maricopa County gave Democrats the 20" ballot that could be read by tabulators and Republicans 19" ballots that COULD NOT be read by the tabulators. Holy smokes! Team Kari has the goods.
