A woman was charged with making a threat of violence against a Republican election official in Michigan, federal authorities announced Wednesday.
Katelyn Jones, 23, allegedly sent threatening photos and messages to Monica Palmer of the Wayne County Board of Canvassers, the FBI wrote in a court filing cited by the Associated Press (AP). Jones reportedly sent Palmer graphic photographs of a dead woman’s naked, bloody body and threatened the safety of Palmer’s family.

According to the Journal, Texas and 8 other GOP-led states will ask a federal court Tuesday to deem the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program unlawful.
The Trump administration tried to end the program back in 2017, but faced legal hurdles. This summer, the Supreme Court determined the Trump administration did not follow proper protocol to end the program.
Texas filed its legal suit against DACA in 2018. The Journal reports the case was put on hold as other lawsuits attempting to stop the Trump administration from ending the program made their way through the courts.

One of the Russian agents who followed opposition leader Alexei Navalny before he was poisoned in August was tricked into revealing details of the operation in a phone conversation with Navalny himself, CNN reported on Monday.
Konstantin Kudryavtsev, the agent who belonged to an elite toxins team in Russia’s Federal Security Service, apparently thought he was speaking to an official in Russia’s National Security Council, but instead was talking to Navalny himself, who almost died in the operation.

Take what happened with spinal fusion, an operation that welds together adjacent vertebrae to relieve back pain from worn-out discs. Unlike most operations, it actually was tested in four clinical trials. The conclusion: Surgery was no better than alternative nonsurgical treatments, like supervised exercise and therapy to help patients deal with their fear of back pain. In both groups, the pain usually diminished or went away.
The studies were completed by the early 2000s and should have been enough to greatly limit or stop the surgery, says Dr. Richard Deyo, professor of evidence-based medicine at the Oregon Health and Sciences University. But that did not happen, according to a recent report. Instead, spinal fusion rates increased — the clinical trials had little effect.
This ought to break you of any impulse to trust what medical professionals say.

Some governing areas fall neatly under easily recognized policy umbrellas. Relations with other countries come under the auspices of “foreign policy,” and when those relations break down and things end in a shooting war, then the “defense policy” folks come to the forefront.
Not so with one of the most important areas of life today: identity politics.
In this view, America is not a country where the individual is the main agent—one who, because of his very existence possesses individual rights derived from his creator and/or his human nature.
Instead, it’s one where membership in official categories (based on sex, race, etc.) is the identity that matters when it comes to rights, responsibilities, and everything else.

The Student Assembly on Dec. 8 removed Annie Gleiberman for voting against a resolution to disarm the university’s police department, saying she condoned “acts of racism, physical aggression, and emotional violence” by voting against the resolution.
And when a fellow executive rep, Morgan Baker, said she wouldn’t vote for it either — becoming a procedural block because a unanimous vote was needed — members temporarily removed her to get to a unanimous tally, The Washington Free Beacon reported.

Google-owned YouTube shut down Dilbert Comic strip creator Scott Adams on Friday, stripping a video off the platform from the podcaster’s channel without warning.
“Google (YouTube) just shut me down,” Adams wrote on Twitter featuring a screenshot of the message from YouTube. “The video they deleted is no different from all of my other content. I assume they’ll come for the other videos soon.”

The Wall Street Journal reported that “Facebook fears” violent retribution if it kicks Hindu extremist groups off the platform.
Facebook is famous for censoring peaceful conservatives, but has been slow to censor anti-Christian extremists. “Dozens of religious extremists burst into a Pentecostal church outside New Delhi in June, claiming it was built atop a Hindu temple,” The Wall Street Journal (The Journal) reported Dec 13. The group allegedly attacked the pastor and “installed a Hindu idol in protest,” an attack for which Hindu organization Bajrang Dal reportedly claimed responsibility. The Bajrang Dal video that summarized and took responsibility for the incident has been reportedly “viewed almost 250,000 times on Facebook.” The logic for why Facebook would allow such content to remain sadly gives extremist groups a clear message that violence will help them get their way.

Five bank heists were done by the same mask-wearing robber, the Sun-Sentinel reported.

College campus safe spaces, speech codes, and woke witch hunts may be coming to a high school near you.
Charles Fain Lehman chronicled in The Washington Free Beacon how school districts and private schools around the country are adopting woke, “anti-racist” policies based on critical theory ideologies once ensconced in the ivory tower.
Schools are adding the Pulitzer Prize-winning but factually challenged 1619 Project, to their curriculum. The 1619 Project was aimed at reframing American history as being rooted in slavery rather than the ideas of liberty from 1776.
This is only the tip of the iceberg.

The National Association of Realtors claims to have 1.4 million members. There will be fewer members before long as the association begins purging conservative real estate agents.
At the center of the storm was an addition to Article 10 which covers various forms of discrimination. But unlike all the previous sections which addressed how real estate professionals interacted with customers, Article 10-5 is catchall cancel culture that controls what real estate agents say on social media on their own private accounts and in their free time.
This goes far beyond being made to bake a cake. Even if you’re at home and you post something opposed to gay marriage or illegal migration, you can lose your business.

Why did teachers get into teaching if they didn’t like to actually teach? It appears more and more likely that many decided to become teachers just in order to have a guaranteed paycheck and shorter hours with summers off? I’m sorry to sound jaded, but the response to this pandemic by unions, who represent teachers, has been to exploit the situation to buy themselves a year and counting of working from home, to heck with the consequences for kids. One of the biggest unions in the country is straight-up gaslighting Americans about what game they’re playing, posting on Twitter yesterday.

More to the point, it would create a HUGE black market for cigarettes with nicotine, which have the added virtue of being indistinguishable from cigarettes without. With marijuana on the brink of being legalized, the cartels need a new income stream, and this would serve very nicely.

The United States is not the only country where transit agencies are spending far too much money building obsolete infrastructure. TransportNSW (for New South Wales) has spent AU$3.1 billion (US$2.3 billion) building a 12-kilometer (7.5-mile) South East light-rail line in Sydney that’s slower than buses making the same journey. For those whoa are counting, that’s more than $300 million a mile in U.S. dollars, putting it well above the average U.S. light-rail project.

“Bill Barr is the best lawyer in Washington, D.C. He’s a two-time attorney general. He is the most effective, high-functioning person in the Trump Administration. He had the president’s back more than anyone else in Washington.”
Rivera went on to say that it had been Attorney General William Barr who stood up before the American people and pushed back on the Russia narrative, adding that Barr had most recently said that he didn’t see evidence of widespread fraud that would change the outcome of the election.
“You’re not addressing the testimony! You’re just pointing to Barr! You’re not answering what we are asking!”

Employees at Spotify threatened to strike if they were not given editorial control over the guests invited on Joe Rogan’s popular podcast. Abigail Shrier’s book Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters was briefly removed from Target’s inventory following complaints, only to be quickly replaced following a backlash. And students at the University of Chicago have sought to have Professor Dorian Abbot publicly censured for criticizing the university’s diversity and inclusion initiatives and the censorious climate on campus. Numerous other examples abound in academia, publishing, news media, and elsewhere. Anxiety about this trend peaked over this summer and led a number of commentators to sign the Harper’s Letter in an effort to defend free speech and inquiry (an initiative that produced its own furious row).
These emotional attempts to suppress controversial or unpopular speech have increasingly made use of what I call the “Mourner’s Veto”—individuals will say that a speaker or a piece of writing has caused them to become distressed or sad or angry or frightened, and they will support these claims with allegations of “harm” or even threats to their “right to exist.” Reasonable debate and discussion then becomes impossible as activists make unfalsifiable but furiously emotive claims about alleged threats to their safety and wellbeing amid much weeping and claims of exhaustion and mental fragility. It is not healthy for the limits of permissible speech to be dictated by the most sensitive person in the room, nor to allow emotional appeals to supplant robust argument as the most effective strategy in a debate.

And there’s a reason for that.
Last year, President Trump called Baltimore a “disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess”.
Speaker Pelosi responded by calling Trump’s comments “racist attacks”. Vox claimed that Trump was using “racist tropes” and US News conducted a fact check accusing him of racism.
Now the rat race numbers are in. Orkin, the past control company, ratted out the “rattiest cities” and Baltimore has broken through into the top 10 for the first time. Like a rat clambering after a piece of moldy cheese, Charm City leaped up four places to be America’s 8th rattiest city.

Over the weekend, Home Secretary Priti Patel announced a new border agreement with France – “a significant moment for our two countries.” In reality, once again Britain bribed France to promise the help it had promised before. Why does the British government keep handing over resources to a con artist? Because the British government gets to say, “We have a new agreement! Problem solved!” It relies on the public forgetting the previous agreements. Yes, the British government too is a con artist, and the British public is the patsy.
In January 2018, Theresa May agreed to accept more migrants from France and to pay France to improve its border at Calais. In other words, she paid France to do what it should have been doing all along. The new agreement was an unnecessary repeat of an almost identical arrangement from 2003, which was renegotiated repeatedly, as the French turned a blind eye to illegal migrants, as long as they were emigrating to Britain. May should have repudiated it, but she repeated it. Her unadmitted hope was French help in reconciling Brexit.

The Hill puts some shine on The Narrative.
The “diploma divide” is now a defining feature of American politics. You can see it in the network exit poll: Democrat Joe Biden carried college-educated white voters by 35 percentage points; non-college whites were virtually tied. Non-college white men — Trump’s “base” — voted 70 percent for Trump.
As a result, two conflicting patterns now define American politics. The wealthier you are, the more likely you are to vote Republican. That has been true for nearly 100 years. At the same time, the better educated you are, the more likely you are to vote Democratic. That trend has been building since 1980.
Students invariably ask, “What happens to people who are wealthy and well educated?” The answer is, they’re “cross-pressured” — pulled in different directions. If they vote their economic interests, they vote Republican. Those who give priority to their typically liberal cultural values vote Democratic. These differences created one of the most conspicuous features of the 2020 campaign: the battle for the suburbs, where a lot of educated, higher income white voters live.
