An astute America First Re-Ignited subscriber, Kathy, read my article entitled 13 Million Democrat Voters Died Since 2020: Where Are The Bodies? and responded with her own list as to why we can’t find the 13 million Democrat voters’ bodies, and why/how Blue States will continue to defraud their voters:

Tony said he had just signed up for Google’s Gemini AI (an artificial intelligence platform formerly known as “Bard”), and mistakenly believed the call was part of that service. Daniel told Tony his account was being accessed by someone in Frankfurt, Germany, and that he could evict the hacker and recover access to the account by clicking “yes” to the prompt that Google was going to send to his phone.

The Google prompt arrived seconds later. And to his everlasting regret, Tony clicked the “Yes, it’s me” button. //

When Junseth asked how potential victims could protect themselves, Daniel explained that if the target doesn’t have their Google Authenticator synced to their Google cloud account, the scammers can’t easily pivot into the victim’s accounts at cryptocurrency exchanges, as they did with Griffin.

By default, Google Authenticator syncs all one-time codes with a Gmail user’s account, meaning if someone gains access to your Google account, they can then access all of the one-time codes handed out by your Google Authenticator app.

To change this setting, open Authenticator on your mobile device, select your profile picture, and then choose “Use without an Account” from the menu. If you disable this, it’s a good idea to keep a printed copy of one-time backup codes, and to store those in a secure place.

You may also wish to download Google Authenticator to another mobile device that you control. Otherwise, if you turn off cloud synching and lose that sole mobile device with your Google Authenticator app, it could be difficult or impossible to recover access to your account if you somehow get locked out. //

When in doubt: Hang up, look up, and call back. If your response to these types of calls involves anything other than hanging up, researching the correct phone number, and contacting the entity that claims to be calling, you may be setting yourself up for a costly and humbling learning experience.

Understand that your email credentials are more than likely the key to unlocking your entire digital identity. Be sure to use a long, unique passphrase for your email address, and never pick a passphrase that you have ever used anywhere else (not even a variation on an old password).

Finally, it’s also a good idea to take advantage of the strongest multi-factor authentication methods offered. For Gmail/Google accounts, that includes the use of passkeys or physical security keys, which are heavily phishing resistant. For Google users holding measurable sums of cryptocurrency, the most secure option is Google’s free Advanced Protection program, which includes more extensive account security features but also comes with some serious convenience trade-offs.

Journalist Ben Sixsmith wrote that the reason this story is only now blowing up despite being more than a decade old is because of the institutional actors involved downplaying the extent of the crimes and making sure the story got as little traction as possible.

He called it a “conspiracy of murmuring.”

“The establishment—that is, the organs of the state, the traditional media, and the web of charities and [nongovernmental organizations] that some of us have called ‘the Blob’—have addressed the scandal in the most minimal terms,” Sixsmith wrote. “ … Overall the issue has been obscured—not swept under the rug, no, but placed neatly in a drawer.”

Sixsmith further noted that the criminals faced minimal consequences, officials even less, and that there was generally a denial that there was any kind of larger issue in the Pakistani community.

Biden declared a ban on new offshore oil and gas drilling in most U.S. coastal waters on Monday.

With only two weeks remaining in his term, the current president invoked the federal Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act to place restrictions on areas along the East and West coasts, the eastern Gulf of Mexico, and parts of Alaska's Northern Bering Sea from future oil and natural gas leasing.

In a statement prepared by his handlers, Biden declared any future offshore drilling was "not worth the risks."

"As the climate crisis continues to threaten communities across the country and we are transitioning to a clean energy economy, now is the time to protect these coasts for our children and grandchildren," he announced. //

Actually, it is binding astaire to executive Orders, as it is based on an old law that allowed the President to remove these "lands" from the drilling list, but no authorization to return them. Of course, it can be removed by law, but with a nearly evenly divided legislature, some GOP members of scenic coastal areas, like FL, may not be willing to let any President restore offshore drilling to their coast. It might need to get complicated to target these Biden areas, which takes time.

Unfortunately, by invoking the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act it does bind future presidents. It will have to be over turned by Congress.

The sad fact is that many of the judges in the January 6 cases were complicit in turning the judicial process into part of the punishment, and they did so not out of a sense of justice but for the plaudits of their peer group and the ruling class in DC. There was literally no reason for any of the January 6 misdemeanor defendants to spend a single minute in jail, and yet they did. These prosecutions had much more in common with the Bloody Assizes and Soviet show trials than American jurisprudence. Their purpose was not to punish the guilty but to make examples of anyone challenging the government to deter others who might have that thought.

There is also a conflict between the "back the blue" impulses of most of MAGA country and some police officials. //

I'd ask Chief Manger what message he thinks it sends to the public when one of his officers was promoted and received federal funds to improve security at his home and cash from a memorial fund after he murdered Ashli Babbitt in cold blood.

If some disciplinary action had been meted out to this cretin and the Capitol Police who brutally beat Roseanne Boyland and the officials who lied about her cause of death (see EXCLUSIVE: Investigative Journalist Lara Logan Uncovers 'The Rest of the Story' on January 6 – RedState), I might care a lot more. If they just stopped lying about police officers being killed and hospitalized on January 6 or claiming that serving that day caused three police officers to commit suicide (why would that be?), I might be more charitable. Until then, I really don't care about the morale of Capitol Hill police. //

Until some adequate explanation is provided on why Capitol Police invited protesters into the Capitol —

• Video: Capitol police open doors for the protestors. They stand aside and invite them
• January 6 Footage reveals Capitol Police acted as tour guides for Jacob Chansley

— and the role of federal agents and "confidential human sources" in escalating the conflict; I really don't care what anyone did that day any more than the FBI and Department of Justice cared about American cities being burned during the mostly peaceful George Floyd memorial rioting and looting season. //

Everyone in jail or prison in connection with January 6 should be immediately released. If Trump wants a carve-out for "violent" actions during the demonstration, that's fine as long as the Department of Justice is not involved in making that determination. Even so, those people who did not kill anyone in cold blood should get the same forbearance as a police officer who did. //

It isn't enough to free those unjustly caught up in a political prosecution that was orders of magnitude greater than any crime committed. The people who set this in motion need to be brought to justice. //

On Jan. 20th 2017 a mass riot occurred in the Washington D.C., which included attempts to storm the White House, violence against the police lots of fires started. Yet, all criminal charges were dropped against the perpetrators of these acts.

On Jan. 6th 2021 a riot broke out at the Capitol building, after police pepper sprayed and fired rubber bullets at demonstrators. Everyone involved in this riot was searched out, rounded up and arrested. All were brought up on charges and were convicted (or plead out) of various crimes. No charges were dropped.

To the new Chief of the Capitol Police, I ask... what is so dissimilar between these two events and the people engaged that there should be unequal treatment? One could easily see where the outcomes for the rioters should be similar. Yet, one group gets a pass and the other group gets the hammer. This screams of violation of the rule of Equal Protection under the Law. //

Look, if Biden can retroactively pardon Hunter for sex trafficking, gun running, prostitution, embezzlement, bribery, corruption, money laundering and the rest of his crimes, I think Trump can pardon J6 trespassers without it being a problem. If Biden can commute the sentences of child rapists and serial killers, Trump can pardon people accused of fake crimes against a process that wasn't actually effected. If Biden can pardon cartel members who plea bargained their violent crimes, Trump can pardon people who've been in jail for four years without access to medical care or lawyers.

As provided by law, without objection, the 119th Congress formally counted the votes of the Electoral College, and, at 1:35 p.m. Eastern, having received 312 electoral votes, Donald Trump was certified as the 47th President of the United States (and JD Vance was certified as vice president). Vice President Kamala Harris presided over the session — something that places her in a somewhat exclusive (albeit not enviable) club.

Less than a year before the end of World War II, then-U.S. Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau drew up a nightmarish plan to punish postwar Germany.

After the serial 1870-1871 Franco-Prussian War, World War I, and World War II—along with the failed Versailles peace treaty of 1919—the Allies in World War II wanted to ensure there would never again be an aggressive Germany powerful enough to invade its neighbors.

When the so-called Morgenthau Plan was leaked to the press in September 1944, at first it was widely praised. After all, it would supposedly render Germany incapable of ever starting another world war in Europe.

Morgenthau certainly envisioned a Carthaginian peace, designed to ensure a permanently deindustrialized, unarmed, and pastoral Germany. //

When the dying Nazi Party got wind of the plan, Adolf Hitler’s propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels had a field day. He screamed to Germans that they were all doomed to oblivion if they lost the war, even growing opponents of the Nazi Party.

Even many Americans were aghast at the plan.

Gen. George Marshall, the Army chief of staff, warned that its mere mention had galvanized German troops to fight to the end, increasing American casualties as they closed in on the German homeland.

Ex-President Herbert Hoover blasted the plan as inhumane. He feared mass starvation of the German people if they were reduced to a premodern, rural peasantry.

But once the victorious allies occupied a devastated Germany, witnessed its moonscape ruined by massive bombing and house-to-house fighting, and discovered that their “ally” Russia’s Josef Stalin was ruthless and hellbent on turning all of Europe communist, the Harry Truman administration backed off the plan.

There is a tragic footnote to the aborted horrors of the Morgenthau Plan. Currently, Germany is doing to itself almost everything Morgenthau once dreamed of.

Its green delusions have shut down far too many of its nuclear, coal, and gas electrical generation plants.

Erratic solar and wind “sustainable energy” means that power costs are four times higher than on average in the United States.

Once-dominant European giants Volkswagen, BMW, and Mercedes are now bleeding customers and profits. Their own government’s green and electric vehicle mandates ensure they will become globally uncompetitive.

The German economy actually shrank in 2023. And the diminished Ruhr can no longer save the German economy from its own utopian politicians.

The German military is all but disarmed and short thousands of recruits.

German industries do not produce enough ammunition, tanks, ships, and aircraft to equip even its diminished army, navy, and air force. //

After World War II, the Truman administration rejected the notion of a pastoral, deindustrialized, and insecure Germany as a cruel prescription for poverty, hunger, and depopulation.

But now the German people themselves voted for their own updated version of Morgenthau’s plan—as they willingly reduced factory hours, curtailed power and fuel supplies, and struggled with millions of illegal aliens and porous borders.

Germans accept that they have no military to speak of that could protect their insecure borders—without a United States-led NATO.

Eighty years ago, Germany’s former conquerors rejected wrecking the defeated nation as too harsh. But now Germany is willfully pastoralizing, disarming, deindustrializing—and destroying—itself.

Somehow, we're all supposed to be concerned about the mass exodus of "seasoned government lawyers and FBI agents" who engaged in lawfare against President Trump and members of his 2017-2021 team. They could have learned a valuable life lesson by watching the HBO series "The Wire" before engaging in political warfare against the once and future president.

[You come at the king, you best not miss]

The more people who resign, the less drama will take place, and more slots can be filled with people who just want to do their jobs and have no interest in eliminating political figures or engaging in a soft coup against the White House.

What does it tell us that the outgoing president believes simply meeting "more world leaders than any one of you" gives him credibility? It tells us that Washington is riddled with meaningless credentialism, whereby politicians are granted "expertise" simply by virtue of existing.

Biden has been around for a long time. Thus, in his mind, and the minds of many Democrats and the national press, he must know what he's talking about. Is that true, though? That's rhetorical because we all know it's not true. Biden is perhaps the worst foreign policy mind in American history when you consider the length of his tenure within the federal government. //

Credentialism has destroyed the federal government. It has turned it into a jobs program for mediocrities who leech off of taxpayers for decades at a time, never having to deliver anything positive for the American people. Joe Biden is the epitome of that culture, and it is somewhat poetic that he'll be leaving Washington as a disgrace.

A daring Israeli commando raid deep into Bashar Assad's Syria in early September not only destroyed an Iranian factory producing missiles for Hezbollah to shoot into Israel, it may have been a test of a concept that puts all of Iran's nuclear facilities at risk.

On the night of September 8-9, a 120-man unit of elite Israeli Air Force Shaldag commandos in CH-53 attacked the underground factory in the Masyaf area of Syria, west of Hama, using a combination of landing and fast roping.

This is a video of US Marines fast roping from the same type of helicopter used in the Israeli operation. //

So why the big media rollout on a raid that happened three months ago? I think the first reason is to impress the locals with Israeli military capabilities. This media event, in addition to the happenings on the ground, goes a long way toward undoing any damage to the psychological dominance Israel has established over its enemies since 1948 by the October 7. 2023 massacre of Israeli civilians. The second reason is to send a message to the Iranians that you can't dig a facility deep enough to get away from the IDF if they want you.

The attack at Masyaf looked a lot like a rehearsal for an attack on Iran's nuclear facilities. In the aftermath of the rout of Assad's forces and the fall of the Ba'athist regime, Israel carried out a punishing campaign of air attacks on Syrian radar, fighter bases, and air defense sites. So much so that it is fair to say that Syria is incapable of knowing who is using its airspace, much less contesting that usage; see Israel Bombs Syria's Military Capability and Infrastructure Flat to Send a Message to Iran.

While Operation EAGLE CLAW, the attempted rescue of US hostages held by Iran in April 1980, was a humiliation of American arms, the same basic plan is imminently viable to take out Iran's nuclear weapons research and production facilities. The destruction of Syrian air defenses and early warning systems means a relatively large Israeli force could seize a foothold within helicopter range of the target area and, under the cover of airstrikes, penetrate Iranian nuclear facilities and destroy them.

And we can never ignore that third possible reason. Given the obvious inferences from the Masyaf raid, the Iranians may very well react by reinforcing their nuclear facilities and, in the process, reveal nuclear sites that were previously unknown.

The sudden desire to destroy trees for solar panels comes as the state risks failing to meet its own climate goal of 100% “clean” energy by 2040. If it doesn’t increase its development of so-called renewable energy, it won’t meet its arbitrary timeframe.

The 420 acres about to be bulldozed are part of 4,000 acres of public land that will be flattened to try and meet the 2040 deadline. //

Public land, even - meaning, presumably, land that is held by the state government in trust, as it were, for the people of the state of Michigan. Land that would otherwise be available for a variety of recreational uses, as most public land is.

Now, though, it will be destroyed in favor of solar panels that will take up an enormous amount of space to produce far less energy than a nuclear power plant would generate with a much, much smaller footprint.

This is ridiculous. //

To sum that up, solar arrays require 38 times more land to produce the same amount of electricity as one modern fission plant. Wind is even worse, requiring 140 times the land to produce that same amount of electricity - enough to power about 775,000 typical homes. That doesn't even take into account the issues with reliability or the necessity of battery backups for times when the wind isn't blowing and the sun isn't shining. //

So, why do these "clean energy" goals never include nuclear power? Fission reactors are everything the climate scolds and "clean energy" types profess to want; modern reactors, including molten-salt and small modular reactors, are safe, efficient, and produce no carbon emissions. //

They are literally destroying the environment to protect the environment. //

This is another example of progressive greenwashing. This won’t help the environment, it won’t reduce carbon and it isn’t scalable. It also isn’t base power as it won’t work at night or as well depending on the weather. That means another power plant needs to be built o provide power when this doesn't.

Get real and start deploying nuclear energy. Stop buying Chinese solar panels (based on stolen US IP) and leave the trees alone. The real world pollution will be effectively nonexistent, there will be less carbon and we don’t have to give more money to the CCP. //

So, we did a lot of good things. But all too often, Kristen, we talked about the mechanics of the legislation and the details of the legislation. And we really didn't show the kind of empathy and concern to average – or show enough of it – to average working families who didn't realize how much we had done and how much we care for them.

Ah, that’s it. We’re just too dumb to "realize" how good we had it. We should have ignored inflation, the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal, the Biden war on energy, the president calling Trump supporters “garbage,” the decline of the military, your assault on the Supreme Court—the list goes on and on—we should have looked past all that because there’s just so much good delivered by the Dems that we’re not capable of comprehending. //

No, Chuck, your team didn’t come out on the short end because you’re so wonderful. The Dems lost all three power centers because your policies are terrible. I encourage you, however, to keep doing the same thing and hoping that stupid Americans will one day realize that you’re awesome.

I think, however, that you’re finding out the hard way that that ship has sailed.

Prime Minister Mute Egede has said a development is “imminent”. //

President/President-elect Donald Trump’s tasked his pick for Ambassador to Denmark with persuading the Danes to sell us the resource-rich Arctic land.

Shortly afterward, a major power outage struck Greenland due to a downed transmission line.
The outage left the region dark during a period of with temperatures dropping below -27 degrees Fahrenheit (-33°C).

Now, Greenland’s Prime Minister Mute Egede has called for independence from Denmark in his New Year’s speech, marking a significant shift in the rhetoric surrounding the Arctic island’s future.

Egede, a member of the pro-independence Community of the People (IA) party, emphasized that it is time for Greenland to take the next step and shape its own future.

The Arizona Republic @azcentral is calling the Bible that Congressman Hamadeh @AbrahamHamadeh sworn in on an "unconventional documents".

Unreal, the Bible is now considered an "unconventional documents" by the writers at the Arizona Republic.
11:36 AM · Jan 4, 2025

The "unconventional documents" were, in fact, the family Bible of the loved ones of Kayla Mueller, an Arizona humanitarian worker who was murdered by ISIS in 2015--something the Republic apparently is quick to wave away as unmentionable subject matter. //

A humanitarian worker from Arizona, Mueller was abducted by terrorists while leaving a Doctors Without Borders hospital in Aleppo, Syria, in 2013. She was held hostage for 18 months, when she was believed to be repeatedly tortured and raped by ISIS militants, including then-ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.

Mueller was killed in February 2015. //

As I take the oath of office, I am profoundly honored to fulfill my promise to the Muellers and the American people by being sworn into Congress using Kayla’s family Bible. It serves as a testament to her unwavering belief in light over darkness and freedom over oppression.

The Common Charger Directive demands that a "USB-C receptacle" be equipped on "radio equipment" that is "equipped with a removable or embedded rechargeable battery" and "can be recharged via wired charging." If it has a battery and can be powered by up to 240 watts through a USB-C connection, it's generally subject to the EU's USB-C requirements. The directive applies to devices "placed on the market"—sent to a distributor or buyer—after December 28, even if they were initially designed and sold before that date.

Laptops get until April 2026 to comply, but most other things—phones, tablets, handheld gaming devices, computer accessories, and wireless headphones—will have to be powered by USB-C to be sold inside the EU from now on. //

In addition to simply demanding that a USB-C port be present, the Directive requires that anything with "fast charging"—pulling more than 5 volts, 3 amperes, or 15 watts—enable the USB Power Delivery (USB PD) standard. This should ensure that they properly negotiate charging rates with any charger with USB PD rather than require their own proprietary charging brick or adapter. //

The EU's celebratory post on X is heavy with replies from doubters, suggesting that mandating USB-C as "THE charger" could stifle companies innovating on other means of power delivery. Most of these critiques are addressed in the actual text of the law, because more powerful devices are exempted, secondary power plugs are allowed, and wireless largely gets a pass. "What about when USB-D arrives?" is something no person can really answer, though it seems a vague reason to avoid addressing the e-waste, fragmentation, and consumer confusion of the larger device charging ecosystem.
