[NYP] Brace yourself: Violent migrant crime is metastasizing.
The brutal Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua has now expanded to at least 16 states and Washington, DC, per an internal Homeland Security memo.
The district, Virginia, Montana and Wyoming are the latest additions to the ever-growing list of states suffering the gang’s presence.
And the thugs’ "violent tendencies" have only grown, warns the memo.
Make no mistake: This is not anti-migrant scaremongering, as the left might claim; it comes from officials at Alejandro Mayorkas’ Department of Homeland Security, the very agency that’s not only failed to keep violent gangs out of the country but has virtually invited them in.

The Laken Riley case is a direct result of Biden's policy. Mayorkas and Harris were willing accomplices. But that's just the most sensational case because Laken was pretty young girl. We'll never know how many others there are.

[REGNUM] On November 19, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree approving a new version of the country's nuclear doctrine. The document expands the list of situations that Moscow considers a condition for launching a retaliatory nuclear strike.
In particular, the previous version of the doctrine spoke only about the launch of ballistic missiles against Russia, but now it is about the launch of aircraft, hypersonic, tactical and strategic cruise missiles, as well as drones.
In addition, the new doctrine allows for a nuclear strike against a non-nuclear country if that country commits aggression against Russia and/or Belarus “with the participation or support of a nuclear state.”
The West, of course, is unhappy.
"Nuclear deterrence is something that we now completely reject. We condemn any reference to nuclear weapons," says the head of European diplomacy, Josep Borrell , indignantly, forgetting that nuclear deterrence was, is and will be the most important way to prevent World War III.
And Vladimir Putin, unlike Borrell, outgoing US President Joe Biden and other Western politicians, is trying to preserve this system of containment. Moreover, he is trying to preserve it in an absolutely transparent way - the president is consistent in his actions and decisions to protect Russia.
The new nuclear doctrine is not just an effective, but the only correct response to the West's recklessness in escalating the conflict and creating real threats to Russia. Threats by pumping Ukraine with non-nuclear weapons (missiles, drones, etc.), which may attempt to deliver a "disarming strike." That is, the Kiev regime gains the ability to launch a massive attack/raid with the aim of destroying Russian command posts and silos where nuclear missiles are based. That is why the doctrine provides for the possibility of destroying a non-nuclear country with a nuclear strike.
Moreover, this is a signal not so much to Kyiv as to the West.
"The current threat should demonstrate to the world that Russia remains a major power. And that Washington and its allies should limit their support for Ukraine," Bloomberg acknowledges .
The authors of the American CNN agree with him.
"The revised doctrine is clearly intended to send a strong signal to Ukraine's Western backers about the risks of escalation and to make politicians and the public think twice about the potential consequences of supplying more modern and long-range weapons to Ukraine," the publication writes .
Naturally, there are those in the West who literally shout that the principle that speaks of the possibility of a nuclear strike against a non-nuclear country violates the foundations of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (where countries that voluntarily renounce the creation of military atoms were promised security).
But let's be honest: Vladimir Putin has given the West many times the opportunity to come to its senses and take a step or two back. But instead, the US and its allies have jumped forward. In fact, the signing of the updated doctrine itself took place after the Biden administration allowed the Kyiv regime to fire long-range missiles deep into Russia, that is, it created the opportunity for a disarming strike.
At this point Moscow had no other choice.
However, even now a number of Western journalists are calling for the state of affairs announced by Putin to be ignored.
“Putin has been careful throughout the war not to launch any overt attacks on NATO countries, whose entry into the war he wants to avoid,” writes The New York Times.
And some politicians continue to put on a brave face. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said that “Russia’s irresponsible rhetoric” would not affect the level of British support for Ukraine, and that London would provide the Kiev regime with whatever it needs for as long as it needs it.
However, no one doubted the British - the main instigators of the war. As well as their "combat" allies from the Baltic countries. Putin's words were addressed not to them, but to the sane part of the Western European elite, as well as to the new US administration, which shows that it does not seek conflicts with Moscow.
And now French President Emmanuel Macron is making very ambiguous statements: he is calling on Putin to remember the UN Charter and take part in a “collective de-escalation” of the situation in Ukraine.
But for this to happen, firstly, Macron needs to stop escalating himself, that is, supplying the Kyiv regime with weapons and training/equipping Ukrainian troops. Secondly, he should carefully read the new nuclear doctrine, then the owner of the Elysee Palace would understand that it concerns not only the situation in Ukraine: the document clearly outlines a list of events that Moscow perceives as a military threat.
The list includes the build-up of military groups on our borders (for example, in Finland or the Baltics), the creation of military infrastructure in space, the deployment of nuclear weapons on the territory of non-nuclear states (for example, in Poland), actions to isolate part of the Russian Federation (for example, the blockade of the Kaliningrad region, which some Baltic countries hinted at), military exercises near the Russian borders, attempts to create environmental and social disasters (in particular, the attacks on the Kursk and Zaporozhye nuclear power plants, which the Kiev regime tried to undertake), as well as the uncontrolled proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.
The list of these conditions once again proves that, contrary to Western propaganda, Russia's nuclear deterrence policy remains exclusively defensive. Moscow allows the use of nuclear weapons only and exclusively to protect its territory, sovereignty and legitimate interests. Which, according to NATO Military Committee Chairman Rob Bauer , would be trampled if Russia did not have a nuclear sword.
But it is and will be. And the risks of a nuclear war will increase until collective de-escalation begins. But not in Macron's understanding, when Moscow must surrender its interests, but real de-escalation - from the West. Not in the form of shifting responsibility for the escalation to the outgoing Biden administration, European hawks or the Kiev regime.
Russia is making it clear that playing “good cop, bad cop” will not work. That aggression by any NATO member, be it close Poland or distant Britain, will be seen as an attack by NATO on Russia, with all the consequences that entails.
And finally, this collective responsibility includes not only the member countries of the Alliance, but also the states that are NATO proxies, that is, for example, Ukraine. The irresponsible behavior of any of them will cause a response for all. Moreover, as stated in the doctrine, the response is “inevitable.”
Of course, we would like to do without demonstrations of military power and threats. But over the past decades, the West has shown that it understands only and exclusively the language of force. This means that Russia will speak it until the West learns to understand another.
Commentary by Russian opresidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov.
[ColonelCassad] 1. All necessary measures are being taken to protect the Crimean Bridge and other critical infrastructure facilities, Putin gave the instructions long ago,
2. Yesterday's ATACMS missile strike on a facility in the Bryansk region did not change Putin's schedule, the president devotes many hours to the topic of the SVO.
3. The option of freezing the Ukrainian conflict will not work for Russia, it is important for the Russian Federation to achieve its goals;
4. The current US administration is doing everything possible in the remaining time to continue the conflict in Ukraine, including approving the supply of anti-personnel mines to Kiev;
5. The threat to countries in the Baltic Sea region comes from Ukraine, accusations of cable sabotage against the Russian Federation are absurd and ridiculous.
6. Putin is ready for contacts and negotiations on Ukraine, including with Trump
7. The candidacy of the new Russian ambassador to the United States has been chosen, procedures for his approval and preparation of a decree are underway.

Except our colleges and universities aren't willing to require the discipline to actually require students to LEARN what they need. I agree, it's what's needed, but it's going to take a lot more than just ending the H1B program. It's going to take rooting out the rot within our education system, from colleges and universities to kindergarten.

As USI integrates with Corporate America, I become increasingly disgusted. We never say Easter and barely use Christmas in the American Corporate World. But I bet you my ass I know all Subcontinent of India's Pagan Holidays. Diwali, May the divine light of Diwali fill your life with happiness, prosperity, and peace! But Merry Christmas and Happy Easter are still off the menu. So freaking annoying. Hate H1B. Their spouses get Work Visas too. And I was an emergency hire to backfill a H1B that fell through - to tell me there are no Americans who want these jobs is a fat faced lie.
Ordinary Germans have been criminally charged for inaccurately quoting leading politicians, for tweeting the poop emoji at a cabinet minister, for calling their rulers shitheads and fat and ugly. Any online triviality you might imagine, including merely repeating jokes made by other politicians, might well lead to criminal charges. In almost every case, these charges turn out to have been filed by Green politicians as part of a clear, coordinated campaign to silence internet critics. The accused have been lectured by judges for hindering their rulers in their official duties; they have had their homes searched and their devices seized for statements that in any other Western nation would constitute protected speech.

[Federalist] It's no secret ret that the FBI has become a politicized weapon of the Democrat Party. Whether it’s interfering in elections to help leftist candidates, targeting parents at school board meetings, or treating Christians as "domestic terrorists," the list of egregious abuses carried out by the agency is too numerous to count.
With Trump set to return to the White House this coming January, many Americans are hoping the soon-to-be 47th president will replace FBI Director Christopher Wray — who has presided over these scandals — with someone willing to gut the corruption that’s plagued the agency for years. While no official nomination has been made, one potential candidate allegedly up for the job should cause major concern for those wishing for a complete overhaul of the agency.
On Friday, sources reportedly told Fox News that 2024 Michigan GOP Senate candidate and former Rep. Mike Rogers met with Trump’s transition team at Mar-a-Lago on Thursday about "potentially serving as FBI director in the former and future president’s second administration." Rogers, who worked at the FBI for several years before serving in Congress (2001-2015), was previously under consideration for the position during Trump’s first administration after the president fired then-Director James Comey.
The Michigan Republican also served as chair of the House Intelligence Committee from 2011-2015.
While Rogers regularly cast himself as an "America First" candidate willing to buck the establishment during his failed Senate bid, the Michigan Republican has spent his entire political career empowering the very federal agencies being weaponized against the American people.
According to The Detroit News, Rogers assisted in writing (and voted for) the Patriot Act, a law passed after the 9/11 terrorist attacks that’s enabled the federal government to conduct warrantless surveillance against unsuspecting Americans. Speaking in defense of the legislation in a 2005 NPR interview, the then-congressman claimed, "No due process is subjugated in the Patriot Act, not one iota."
Christopher Wray announces surprise retirement, forms investigative LLC. Rogers becomes Director, FBI. Wray hires Kristi Rogers as VP of LLC's London branch.

Nobody in Trump’s inner circle trusts Mike Rogers. It would just replacing one person working against accountability, efficiency and justice with the same make and model. This isn’t a position where Trump is likely to settle for a deep state tool.

[Breitbart] America needs to be rebuilt “piece by piece” after four years of chaos, according to Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville of Alabama, who vowed to act as a “sledgehammer” for President-elect Donald Trump’s MAGA agenda, shaping confirmations and holding Republicans accountable in the next Congress.
In an exclusive interview with Breitbart News, Sen. Tuberville declared his steadfast commitment to advancing Donald Trump’s vision, emphasizing his role as a “sledgehammer” for the MAGA agenda.
“We need to terminate the big alligators loose in the swamp,” he said, insisting that “President Trump’s vision is the only path forward, and I’m fully on board with his direction to rebuild this country.”
Tuberville, who currently serves as a member of the Senate Armed Service Committee (SASC) and has been a staunch ally of Trump since 2016, described his alignment with the incoming president as deeply rooted in shared constitutional values and a mutual desire to dismantle Washington’s entrenched bureaucracy:
The American people have lost confidence, plain and simple. That’s why President Trump ran on the agenda to start over and rebuild this country. And that’s exactly what we’re going to have to do. It’s going to require taking things apart piece by piece and putting them back together, guided by the Constitution and powered by the hard-working people of this nation. This won’t be easy — it’ll be incredibly hard. But we cannot continue down the path we’re on, because there’s no light at the end of this tunnel.
Turning to his Republican colleagues, Tuberville, who was the first senator to endorse Trump in 2022, noted that “what’s been tried in the past hasn’t worked, and it’s not going to work.”
“It’s time to get on board the Trump train and fully support his agenda, because he’s the one who’s been chosen to tear down the broken system and rebuild it. I’m all in,” he stated.
The former famed college football coach-turned-senator reflected on his history with Trump, from their discussions on policy to their shared belief in returning the government to constitutional principles.
“I’ve been very fortunate to be around him and listen to him one-on-one in private situations and, to me, there’s not a better American than Donald Trump in terms of love of country and who knows how to put our country back together after it’s almost been destroyed,” he said.
Sen. Tuberville then slammed the Biden-Harris administration for actions that repeatedly pushed the boundaries of legality.
“The law was broken,” he said, pointing to the administration’s attempt to proceed with student loan forgiveness despite the Supreme Court’s clear ruling against it. He also cited the administration’s policies at the southern border, which allowed illegal crossings to surge unchecked, contributing to drug-related deaths and criminal activity.
“We were lied to from day one,” he stated, “from [Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro] Mayorkas’ ‘the border’s closed’ — it was all an intentional lie and set up to change this country to something that it’s not and it’s not going to be.”
The senator, who stood alone for ten months last year holding all senior military promotions over the Pentagon’s abortion policy, expressed grave concerns over what he described as divisive identity politics and unconstitutional practices in federal policies.
He criticized the erosion of Title IX protections in women’s sports, taxpayer-funded abortions in the military, and the rise of gender-focused conflicts orchestrated to divide Americans further.
“They’ve done so many things to take this country apart and divide us even more,” Tuberville stated.
He expressed unwavering support for Trump’s priorities, including cracking down on what he described as “wokeness” in federal institutions, reforming military policies, and addressing fiscal irresponsibility.
As Tuberville puts it, his mission is clear: “I represent the people of Alabama, and they expect me to follow Trump’s lead. We’re going to rebuild this country the right way, starting with the Constitution.”

Moreover, Tuberville addressed what he sees as the unprecedented weaponization of the DOJ under the current administration as well as the use of lawfare against its political adversaries.
Citing the DOJ’s investigations of Trump, including the raid on Mar-a-Lago and ongoing legal battles, Tuberville described these actions as blatant “lawfare” meant to undermine Trump politically.
“For this guy to go through all that — two assassination attempts, the Mar-a-Lago raid — and still win — and want to — it shows his perseverance,” he said.
According to Tuberville, the solution lies in fully supporting Trump’s team and agenda, ensuring that his vision for America has the tools needed to succeed.
“Why in the world would we get in the way of a guy that’s gone through all this and had the biggest political upset in history — twice?” he asked.
Highlighting the urgency of the situation, Tuberville concluded by emphasizing the critical need for a shift in leadership.
“For the next two months, we’re focused on playing defense, doing everything we can to counter the ongoing chaos from the Democrat Socialist Party. But come January 3rd, when we take control, we’ll finally be able to start addressing and correcting the many problems they’ve created,” he stated.
“And trust me, there’s no shortage of them,” he added.
Sen. Tuberville’s steadfast support for President-elect Trump and his decisive actions — such as holding up military promotions over the Pentagon’s abortion policy and endorsing key figures like former Florida Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz and Fox News host and military veteran Pete Hegseth — have cemented his status as a powerbroker in the Senate.
He is now advising Gaetz on confirmation strategy and will whip Senate votes for his approval, and has come out strongly for Hegseth, insisting there needs to be massive downsizing at the Pentagon.
The senator’s rising prominence and influence was highlighted during Trump’s recent rally at Madison Square Garden, where Tuberville received two personal shoutouts from the former president — an acknowledgment of his central role in Trump’s political resurgence.
