    If you were wondering why Israel seems to be agreeing to a cease-fire…

    Hezbollah fled from Israel Defense Forces (IDF) soldiers in southern Lebanon, refusing to confront them in direct combat during the two months in which Israel has been on the ground there, removing terrorist border positions.

    A senior military official from the IDF, speaking to Breitbart News on condition that his name not be used, said: “They [Hezbollah] left the battle zone … Unlike their ethos, they didn’t stay and fight. Not in the numbers that they were claiming … Every face-to-face encounter ended with the elimination of the enemy force.”

    Y’all can come out of your bunkers and take off your tinfoil hats now. The “climate change apocalypse” has ended.

    This is fabulous. The Czechs have come out and declared the Emperor is running around naked. They flat out state the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) are a bunch of incompetent frauds.

    Legal Insurrection readers will recall that in my post on the United Nations climate conference in Azerbaijan this week, its president boldly declared that oil and gas were a ‘gift from God’.

    The eco-activists attending the event were enraged.

    The climate cultists will likely be working themselves up into even more hysteria because of another climate conference that occurred mid-November in the Czech Republic city of Prague.

    The Czech division of the International Climate Intelligence Group (Clintel) organized a two-day climate conference in Prague on November 12-13, 2024, where climate scientists declared that the “climate emergency” is over. The conference concluded with a communiqué drafted by the participating scientists and researchers that targeted the climate hysteria promoted by the United Nations body, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

    I’ve been waiting four years for this…

    President-elect Donald Trump has vowed to restore the American energy industry when he transitions back to the White House in January 2025. As part of that vision, Trump will reportedly revive the Keystone XL pipeline, leaving supporters feeling “on cloud nine.”

    and,

    “In the last three, four years…it’s been bad,” Allen, who was fired after Biden’s action in 2021, said. “In the four years that the administration has been in here, they canceled this, and not only the Keystone. They have canceled so many other ones.”

    “It’s hamstringed the American blue collar workers.”

    I don’t know if I can stand all this good news in one day. The internet gives one guy with some X followers huge leverage compared to any previous time in history.

    Walmart is making a slate of changes to its diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies, becoming the latest in a growing list of major corporations to halt the so-called “woke” initiatives.

    Anti-woke activist and filmmaker Robby Starbuck, who has been leading a campaign exposing major corporations’ woke policies, said on X on Monday that he warned Walmart executives last week that he would be doing a story on “wokeness” at the retail giant.

    [Here are Starbuck’s X comments]

    “Instead,” Starbuck shared, “we had productive conversations to find solutions.”

    Starbuck outlined the changes Walmart agreed to make, including working to remove sexual and transgender products inappropriately marketed toward children, and reviewing grants to Pride events to avoid funding sexualized content targeting kids.

    An article I read last night and can’t remember where it was said this blockbuster study was first presented to Bloomberg News and the New York Times earlier this fall ahead of the election. Both firms spiked the story fearing it would help conservatives and Trump at the polls. Not to mention the fact both of these news organizations have near fatal cases of DEI infections themselves.

    New research from the Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI) and Rutgers University reveals that some diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) training methods may cause psychological harm.

    The study, released on Monday, shows significant increases in hostility and punitive attitudes among participants exposed to DEI pedagogy covering subjects like race, religion and caste.

    This hostile attribution bias may contribute to increased intergroup hostility and authoritarian behavior in the long run, according to study co-author and NCRI Chief Science Officer Joel Finkelstein.

    “What we did was we took a lot of these ideas that were found to still be very prominent in a lot of these DEI lectures and interventions and training,” said Finkelstein in an interview with Fox News Digital. “And we said, ‘Well, how is this going to affect people?’ What we found is that when people are exposed to this ideology, what happens is they become hostile without any indication that anything racist has happened.”

    I made only one rosary this morning, a “car rosary” in pale green and gold. I call it a car rosary because I was praying my “regular length” rosary in my car one day, and it was long enough that it caught on my parking brake handle and broke.

    So, “car rosaries” are short enough that things like that won’t happen. I’ve never been a fan of people hanging rosaries from their rearview mirrors. It’s akin to wearing them as jewelry and I’ve threatened to whip my kids if I caught them doing that. It’s a worship aid, not a decorative item, nor is it a talisman.

    Trump Makes History After Latest Ballot Drop.

    President-elect Donald Trump has reached a significant achievement by garnering more than 76 million votes in the popular vote, marking him as the most successful Republican candidate ever.

    This surpasses the previous Republican record and positions him just behind President Joe Biden, who received over 81 million votes in 2020.

    Trump won all seven swing states and made significant gains in urban areas, particularly among Hispanic voters in Arizona and Black and Latino men across various demographics.

    His coalition reflects a shift in voter support, despite criticisms from far-left critics regarding his past statements.

    SO Trump gets 77 million votes (I looked it up) and Kamala got 74.5 million votes. AND Obama Got 69 million in 2008 and 66 million 2012 BUT Biden got 81 million!?!? OK let’s do some simple math; Biden’s 81m – Kamala’s 74.5m = 6.5 million votes, so the Democrats managed to steal over 6 million votes with the Covid mail-in ballot fraud?! THAT is amazing and if you don’t believe that the votes were stolen, what happened to that 6.5 million voters in 2024?

      No way the kammunist got 74 million.
      id wager 10 to 15 million of her count were fraudulent.

      she got 62 to 65 mil tops.

      the deep state fraud machine had to pad her total to make it look more respectable so the propagandist, potatoheaded, cia controlled mockingbird media could say ‘see. Trump didn’t get the mandate he says he got.’

      all they do is lie, cheat, steal and destroy so it ain’t hard for me to believe they manufactured a few million for the kammunist.

    The hits just keep comin’…

    “Saroya’s lawyer, Jeffrey Robbins, described Monday’s ruling as ‘the mother of all legal boomerangs.’”

    The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) will be forced to open its books and reveal its sources of funding after a defamation suit it filed against a former employee completely backfired. 

    US Magistrate Judge David Schultz ruled Monday that CAIR’s donors, funding sources — potentially including foreign ones — and any assets owned by the group are all within the “scope of permissible discovery” as part of former chapter leader Lori Saroya’s lawsuit against the controversial Muslim rights group.

     

    Saroya filed a federal defamation complaint against CAIR in January after the group dropped its own lawsuit against the former employee, which accused her of embarking on a “defamation campaign”against the organization, including by implying that CAIR is funded by foreign governments and terrorist organizations.

    On my way to the dentist this morning, I pulled out an absolutely gorgeous all gold rosary from my purse stash to pray on. I walked into the building with it dangling from my hand and just as I made it to the front desk I finished praying the last Hail Mary. Since there was no one behind me, I had time to ask the young clerk is she was Catholic. She hemmed and hawed a bit, and I said”Not practicing, right?” She smiled and said her parents were Catholic, to which I replied that she was probably baptized Catholic. “Would you like a rosary? I give them away.” I held up the one in my hand and I tell y’all, there ain’t nothing like the smiles I get when I give those away.

    She kept asking me “Are you sure?” To which I replied in the affirmative. “It’s so beautiful! I don’t know if I’m worthy!” “Of course you are!”

    She said I made her day. Big, huge smile.

    And that’s what it’s all about.

    We are talking about $737 million stolen from American taxpayers via Barack Obama and Joe Biden.

    On Nov. 5, at 5:20 p.m. ET, less than an hour before the first polls closed and when it had become clear from the exit polls that Democrat presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris was likely to lose, an attorney with the Justice Department emailed lawyers for plaintiffs in a qui tam lawsuit aimed at recouping significant losses the taxpayers allegedly incurred from a failed solar plant in Nevada. A qui tam lawsuit is when a private plaintiff sues on behalf of the U.S. Government to recoup taxpayer dollars — often alleging fraud, misuse, or theft of taxpayer dollars.

    and,

    There are major implications as well for the incoming Trump administration. Of course, this matter cuts across several federal government departments — from Justice to Interior to Energy to Treasury. The Justice Department is at the center of things, so incoming Attorney General Pam Bondi, will be in position to evaluate the matter and make a decision about how to proceed. Incoming Energy Secretary Chris Wright and incoming Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum will also need to look at solar and other green energy policies. Earlier this year, for example, the Biden administration’s Interior Department announced an expanded push for more solar energy projects like Crescent Dunes on federal lands.

    Brilliant legal scholar Seth Barrett Tillman writes:

    Special Counsel Smith has had a full and fair opportunity to prove—before the trial court and now on appeal—that he was lawfully appointed and lawfully compensated. He failed to establish those specific points in court. As a result, the DOJ may and (in my opinion) should sue for return of illegal salary paid by the U.S. Treasury to Smith and his staff (that is, those not otherwise employed at DOJ). Special Counsel Smith failed to prove that the documents seized by the FBI at Mar-a-Lago belong to the U.S. government or any of its agencies. Trump should move, and if necessary sue, for return of all his files taken by the FBI at Mar-a-Lago.

    Stitches removed, so the “wild hair” problem inside my mouth is resolved. I had Dr. Lucena look at the lower back molar while he was in my mouth. That is one of the few places where I can still chew, and it’s been irritated for the past few days. He says it appears that a piece might have chipped off.

    Again. This happened some years ago. Imagine your tooth is made of a bunch of tubes, side by side, vertically. Cracks can occur along those vertical lines. That particular tooth seems to like to calve off pieces, like an iceberg. I’m sure that since I’ve been trying to use that part of my mouth intensively lately hasn’t helped it lately. It leaves a sharp edge. My regular dentist had to grind down that sharp edge the last time because it was trying to slice my tongue. Ouch. The exposed dentin eventually “calloused” over.

    Dr. Lucena didn’t see any infection; it’s just wissed off right now. He gave it a light cleaning and told me to make an appointment and keep it clean with regular soft toothbrush cleaning and flossing, as best I can.

    So, I get to call the other Fannin Street UT Dental School office and make January appointments for casting for my three lower implants (YAY!) and have someone look at that back molar.

    Two steps forward, one step back.

    I gave away two more rosaries before I left the building. I didn’t realize that I needed to restock the purse stash. I almost ran out. Horrors! So, as soon as I came home I restocked the purse and made one more.

    That’s eleven rosaries or more handed out since Saturday. I go in spurts with the giveaways. I can go two weeks without an opportunity, but then I deliver multiples in a matter of days.

    So, I need to increase my production rate again to catch up.

    Vivek and Elon can kill this program on DAY ONE.

    The federal government has spent over $2 billion dollars over the last three years infusing and embedding diversity, equity and inclusion concepts into scientific research – tainting the efforts with ideology and diminishing discoveries — according to the recently published findings of a report commissioned by a Senate subcommittee.

    The National Science Foundation has awarded taxpayer dollars “to projects that divide Americans and support investigations or publications that are of questionable scientific value,” the 43-page report states.

    A leading critic of the encroachment of DEI into STEM, Anna Krylov, said the findings illustrate a misuse of public funds by the NSF.

    “[I]nstead of funding science, they dump money into pseudoscience, miseducation, and ideological indoctrination,” she said in an email to The Fix.

    First, Russia changes the landscape of war. I know this was brought up earlier, but here goes:

    Russia responded to Biden Administration escalations by making the final move, checkmate, escalating far beyond NATO’s reach. The Russians deployed a paradigm-shattering, epoch-defining, game-changing wonder weapon that turned every modern military strategy textbook into a historic footnote. It was not the sort of “game-changing weapon” that like robotic parrots corporate media has serially invoked since the Proxy War started, duplicitously announcing every new delivery of decades-old NATO military technology to Ukraine.

    No. This was something genuinely new. And, by definition, revolutionary.

    On Thursday, Russia blew up a large satellite manufacturing plant in Dnipro, Ukraine. That much was unremarkable. But an astonishing video of the attack quickly surfaced, and it confounded everyone, at least, everyone talking. The warbloggers began rolling out a series of excited guesses and urgent hypotheses for what looked like a cluster of missiles falling to Earth like avenging angels: CLIP: Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev announces hypersonic missile attack (0:12).

    Russia unleashed this because…well, BIDEN. While our military has been engrossed in social engineering since Obama, Russia’s military has actually been doing its job. Our drag queens are just not up to the job of breaking things and killing people. And NATO isn’t far behind.

    The Hazelnut is combines a traditional ICBM rocket, turbocharges it with hypersonic technology, delivers surgical precision targeting within a few feet, all capped by a conventional explosive warhead instead of a nuke. That sounds reassuring, but it is actually bad for us, because it means Russia can use the missile without violating nuclear weapons conventions or international rules against weapons of mass destruction.

    Le Monde began its article with the understatement of the Twenty-First Century: “It’s a first in the history of military nuclear power.” NATO and Ukraine plan an emergency meeting today, Tuesday, to discuss the implications of the record-shattering development.

    No kidding.

    The media is trying to bury this development, but in Germany bunkers are becoming the “new thing”. News media is also covering up the failing Ukraine war efforts. But…all of those flags on social media!! Do they not count for anything?

    Our generals aren’t talking. But I suspect they must be reacting to this news like how the Zulu chieftans reacted after the first time the British used machine guns against them. Ominously, the Zulus didn’t recognize their peril and kept fighting, and dying. Our generals can’t be that dumb? Wait, don’t answer that.

    Here’s why Hazelnut changes everything.

    The implications can be sliced into two categories: immediate implications for Ukraine, and broader implications for the West:

    • With its 3,500-mile range, Russia’s new missile can easily strike anywhere in Ukraine, including Zelensky’s Peloton, anywhere in Europe, the Middle East, or North Africa, for that matter.
    • Western air defenses are now useless. Worse, Russia’s expensive hypersonics can first target Ukraine’s Patriot Missile Systems, then without effective defenses, the cheaper conventional missiles can handle the rest.
    • There are other problems. To the extent aircraft carriers remained viable at all in light of short-range hypersonics, you can now pull the plug. Absent some revolutionary countermeasure, aircraft carriers are sitting ducks.
    • In case it wasn’t obvious, we can assume China shares this technology, too. What if Russia gives these missiles to Iran? North Korea?

    I see this as an arsenal half-full. Biden’s unsupervised neocons were busily deploying a series of incremental escalations designed to provoke Russia into doing something so egregious that Biden would have no choice but to respond.

    Instead, Russia just quietly out-escalated them. The neocons, obsessed with narratives, need Russia to punch first. And it needs to be describable as a Russian over-reaction, so Biden probably can’t just leap six steps up the escalatory ladder, like by giving Zelensky a few nukes to play with.

    Stein’s law holds that something that can’t go on forever, won’t. Ukraine cannot defend against Russia’s hypersonic technology. It is running out of men. There’s not one bit of material good news for Ukraine anywhere on the battlefield. All their strategies just went out the window, and Zelensky is a sitting Zulu duck. A realistic peace is the only remaining option.

    Expect a lot of angry, bellicose talk as the Western powers come to terms with the new normal and as the Trump clock runs down on the Proxy War.

    Interesting take, that. Putin leapfrogged Biden’s attempt to escalate by delivering such a crushing blow that the Meat Puppet is just wandering around like a headless chicken, with his entourage in tow and trying to figure out how to gracefully exit stage left.

    Next up from Mr. C: a fentanyl tax

    In a very politely worded (for him) post on Truth Social yesterday, President Trump announced he’ll be ordering a +10% “fentanyl tax” on China, to be applied on all Chinese goods, until fentanyl stops flowing over our southern border. Let the Chinese figure out how to stop it with their Mexican buddies.

    And not just Chinese products:

    For anyone who thinks Trump’s +10% fentanyl tax on China isn’t fair, just wait. The President-Elect remembered our northern and southern neighbors as well. Mexico and Canada will have to pay a +25% fentanyl tax until the caravans of illegal invaders and the rivers of addictive, life-wrecking chemicals stop.

    So, maybe Mexico IS going to pay for the border!

    In other words, Trump is making Mexico and Canada pay to secure our borders. I am enthusiastically pro-tariff and will happily defend them anytime, assuming they are intelligently levied.

    Most importantly, Trump can unilaterally impose these tariffs.

    /snip

    But here’s the question with which to entertain yourself today: might the Trump Effect kick in right now? Might these three countries believe Trump and start cleaning their acts up today, not waiting around to see if the President-Elect really means it?

    Can you recall another President in our lifetimes wielding this much power even before taking the oath?

    Robby Starbuck strikes again, thank goodness!

    A now-familiar name appeared in the Journal’s article: conservative filmmaker and anti-DEI activist Robby Starbuck. Robby tweeted about how the Walmart turnaround went down. He contacted Walmart management and told them he planned to run a story on their DEI programs. Walmart management asked for an emergency meeting with Robby, and when they met, Walmart reviewed a long list of planned DEI rollbacks.

    The changes ran the gamut from simple to profound. The retailer promised to discontinue using the DEI acronym and its words. It will ashcan the cringe term “LatinX.” It will stop racial equity training for its employees. It will remove some super-gross, non-kid-friendly LGBT products from its web-based ‘marketplace.’ Most importantly, Walmart will end its preferred-suppliers program, which gave advantages to suppliers pushing DEI on their employees.

    /snip

    Illustrating the power of a single committed conservative activist, Robby Starbuck has now been involved in deleting DEI from corporate policies at: Tractor Supply, John Deere, Harley Davidson, Polaris, Indian Motorcycle, Lowe’s, Ford, Coors, Stanley Black & Decker, Jack Daniels, DeWalt tools, Craftsman, Caterpillar, Boeing, Toyota and now WALMART.

    Robby Starbuck is a one-man DEI wrecking ball.

    If’n you want to support more of this:

    Unofficial Mini-Multiplier: Support Robby Starbuck with any affordable amount ending in $2, to encourage him to keep turning the DEI tide. C&C Army: Take thirty seconds right now and reconnoiter Robby’s donation site, to boost his morale, deliver supplies, and signal for him to redouble his efforts and run DEI all the way to ground. You’ll feel great after, I promise.

    Mr. C has a discussion on one of Trump’s more controversial picks:

    More Trump Effect. Yesterday, Reuters ran a story headlined, “Wall St closes higher; small-caps hit record high after Trump nominates Bessent.” As the market’s reaction to his nomination as Treasury Secretary showed, Scott Bessent is highly qualified. He’s smart, he is a heterodox thinker, and became a quiet Trump supporter since before it was safe to do so. The biggest problem is that Scott managed one of George Soros’s many investment companies between 2011-2015. Scott worked for Soros even longer than that, and enjoyed a warm personal relationship with the far-left billionaire.

    I’ll let y’all follow the link to see the rest of the discussion. But before I leave this discussion, I just *have* to share a bit of Mr. C’s prose:

    I’m prepared to believe Soros is literally Satan wearing an Eastern European meat suit.

    As amusing as I find that turn of phrase, I think it’s quite accurate and does not apply just to Soros. Unfortunately.

    I took my friend John to Hempstead to do his Thanksgiving shopping today. Since I have to work Thanksgiving and the rest of the holidays this year, he’s going to save me a big bowl of oxtail stew and some pinto beans and cornbread. You gotta go to a Mexican carneceria to get oxtails these days. I used to sell the heck out of them at the gringo markets back in the day.

      Well, there are more Mexican carnecerias around now than gringo markets so there is that.

      Believe or not, a man can buy oxtails in most grocery stores in NE New Jersey. I’m pissed off because it is very hard anymore to buy real fajitas because the definition has been so corrupted. These clowns call anything that looks remotely like a flank steak…fajitas ! The general public has no idea what they are buying.

      Man that sounds fine. Believe it or not but the Pig here in Podunk often has Ox Tails but they’re pricey. They’ve become a yuppie food don’t you know?

    Dusted off Mama’s original recipe for Frito Chili Pie for supper and the pie is in the oven – since it was a legitimate cold front that came thru this time… we often have it the day before Turkey Day anyway – just seemed like today was the right day!!!

      Man that sounds good.
      Do you know how it differs from the original recipe?

      Yanno, you can’t hardly get a table in a Mexican restaurant three days after Thanksgiving. Talk about a Texas tradition.

        What’s the delay for crying out loud ? It’s been two hours and no recipe has been posted ?

        OK – here’s what Mama cut off the Wolf brand chili label – and hermetically sealed to a recipe card with packing tape… Since she passed away in 1995, it’s been in my possession…

            For what it’s worth, they no longer make the size can the recipe calls for, I’ve been using 2 of the 15 oz cans and it turns out well…

    It’s about dadgum time! Cops in KY beat the crap out of some guy trying to put a fire out in his own home. They arrest the guy and his adult son for assault but the dump cops were wearing body cams with the microphones turned on. The cops write a false report and present it to the grand jury and the grand jury indicts the cops instead.

      Well, dammit, please go eat some good tamales for me.

        Oh, man.
        A new source for tamales just popped up in Raccoon Bend. You wouldn’t believe…

    Hopefully the picture of the Frito Pie recipe card is where you can copy it, or save it, or maybe some nice person will add it to the files, or something…

      Looks like the original to me.

      Oh, you can bet I already saved it and it is duly noted there’s not one mention of beans in that chili pie.

        Funny thing, when Mama made beef stew she ALWAYS cooked a pot of pretty plain pinto beans, so we could add whatever amount we chose to our individual bowls… Never one time did she do the same when she made chili (with a packet Williams Chili Seasoning mix)…

        For what it’s worth, my Mama was born in 1922 on a farm in south Taylor County – she’d roll over in her grave if chili (meat chili) and beans were mentioned in the same pot… She always made a pot of very basic, plain pinto beans when she made beef stew so that we could add some to our bowl, if desired… but NEVER when she made chili (for which she used “Williams Chili Seasoning”)

    Wife’s broker had a client/agent pie giveaway at their office tonight. Biggest damned pies you ever saw, about the diameter of a large pizza. From Costco.

    There’s no way that a pie that size works. Just sayin’.

    People who haven’t tried and tasted Costco’s bakery goods and pies would be shocked at how consistently good they are. I spent a fortune on them when I was running a synagogue.

    Upon further review the Costco pies are more medium pizza size, not large. Still a danged big yuge pie.

      I am absolutely bamfoozled at how Costco can produce those products in mass, day in and day out, maintaining the quality they do.
