Biden
said to be increasingly frustrated by dismal poll numbers . . . For months, the president and first lady Jill Biden have told aides and friends they are frustrated by the president’s low approval rating and the polls that show him trailing former president Donald Trump, the front-runner for the Republican nomination — and in recent weeks, they have grown upset that they are not making more progress.

Chuck
Schumer Praised the 'Humanity' of Anti-Israel Group Whose Leader Was 'Happy To See' Hamas Murder Jews . . . Two decades ago, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.) said the Council on American-Islamic Relations has "ties to terrorism" and called for the federal government to cut ties with the controversial anti-Israel group. Schumer, now the Senate majority leader, has flip-flopped since then on CAIR, which is back in the national spotlight after its founder said he was "happy to see"
Hamas attack Israel. Free Beacon Swing State Dem Candidate Quietly Worrying About Biden Dragging Her Down . . . Democratic Rep. Elissa Slotkin of Michigan, who is running for Senate in 2024, has been expressing concern over President Joe Biden potentially hampering her election prospects, The Washington Post reported Monday. Daily Caller To impeach or not? The evidence in the Biden inquiry that is gripping Washington . . . Amid such starkly different narratives about the 46th president and his son Hunter’s entangled foreign dealings, it’s easy for the facts to fall to the wayside or to forget that the inquiry is not an impeachment: just a legal effort to compel evidence that will help lawmakers eventually judge whether articles of impeachment are merited. With such a debate likely
to rage well into the 2024 election, most Americans just want to know the facts. Here are some of the key ones that have emerged thus far. Joe Biden has made false statements as president and while running for president about his family’s foreign dealings. Just the

CIA
Director in Talks With Israel’s Mossad to Restart Hamas Hostage Deal . . . CIA Director William Burns traveled to Warsaw on Monday to meet with his Israeli counterpart David Barnea, the head of Mossad, and the Qatari prime minister, according to Egyptian officials and another person familiar with the talks. The meetings are an effort to restart discussions over the hostages, a U.S. official said. The U.S. secretary of defense and chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff arrived in Israel
for the latest discussions with the country’s war cabinet. The deployment of high-level U.S. officials is a sign of the Biden administration’s intense focus on resolving the most complicated situation in the history of hostage negotiations and ending the bloodshed in Gaza where health authorities say more than 19,000 people have died. Wall Street Journal Red Sea attacks force rerouting of vessels, disrupting supply chains . . . Mounting attacks by the Iran-aligned Yemeni Houthi militant group on ships in the Red Sea are disrupting maritime trade as leading global freight firms reroute around the Cape of Good Hope to avoid the Suez Canal. The group said it launched a drone attack on two cargo vessels in the area on Monday, the latest in a series of missile and drone strikes on shipping which
it says are a response to Israel's assault on the Gaza Strip. Several major freight companies -- including MSC -- have begun to sail around Africa instead, adding costs and delays which are expected to be compounded over the coming weeks, according to industry analysts. About 15% of world shipping traffic transits via the Suez Canal, the shortest shipping route between Europe and Asia. Reuters Massive migrant shelter to open in El Paso to alleviate crisis . . . Immigrants illegally entering the United States can look forward to the opening of a new shelter in El Paso, Texas. Officials behind the new space for immigrants hope its opening will help alleviate the border crisis ailing El Paso. "We're looking forward to just the expansion of supporting this very regional effort," Executive Director of the Border Servant Corps Kari Lenander said. The space

Israeli
Military Reveals Tunnel It Says Hamas Built for Large-Scale Attack . . . A quarter of a mile from a civilian border crossing between Israel and northern Gaza lies what Israel’s military says is the largest tunnel discovered in the enclave. It is large enough that large vehicles can drive through it, and yet, until recently, Israel didn’t know the tunnel reached right up to its border. Israeli troops uncovered the tunnel exit buried under a sand dune a few weeks ago. Israeli officials
believe that the tunnel, up to 50 meters deep at points, and 2½ miles long, took years and millions of dollars to build and was meant to facilitate a large-scale attack on Israel. “This is for moving massive assets,” Israeli military spokesman Lt. Col. Richard Hecht told reporters on Sunday. “It’s strategic.” Wall Street Journal China Syndrome? U.S. reductions in coal use are offset by large increases in Asia . . . Efforts to dramatically reduce coal use in America are simply being offset by an energy-hungry Asia, and confounding the goals of climate change activists. Global coal demand actually reached a record high in 2022, rising 4% to 8.4 billion tons, according to the International Energy Agency’s (IEA) annual report released Friday. The IEA report attributes much of that increase to developing countries in Asia: China’s demand increased 4.6% in 2022, which amounted to 200 million tons while India increased its consumption by 9%, or 97 million tons.

Putin
uses Russian church to spread his saintly status in nation with no separation of religion and state . . . By Rebekah Koffler. Russian President Vladimir Putin was made to appear as though he was preaching from the heavens during an address to Russia's religious leaders. Putin delivered a keynote address on Nov. 28 at the Plenary Session of the World Russian Peoples’ Concilium, a faith-based organization led by the head of Russia's Orthodox Church and Putin’s close ally, Patriarch
Kirill. The highly choreographed event took place in the Kremlin and was attended by clergy members of other faiths - including Islam and Judaism - top government officials, military members and youth. The stage resembled an iconostasis (‘icon stand’ in Greek), a wooden and metal partition with doors that holds tiers of stylized gilded icons and separates the sanctuary from the nave in Russian Orthodox Churches. It symbolizes the boundary between God and Heaven (The Holy) and humans (The
Worldly). Rebekah Koffler | Fox News
Money Wars raise profit outlook for US defense industry in 2024 . . . When the Pentagon pulled the world's biggest defense contractors into a meeting to tell them to ramp up production shortly after Russia invaded Ukraine, one CEO hesitated, saying they did not
want to be stuck with a warehouse full of rockets when the fighting stopped, according to three people familiar with the discussion. Nearly two years later, big defense firms are singing a different tune, with several expecting strong demand in 2024 as the U.S. and its allies load up on expensive weaponry and munitions with an eye on what they perceive as more aggressive actions from Russia and China.

Washington Examiner Inside the Booming Business of Cutting Babies’ Tongues . . . Tess Merrell had breastfed three babies and never expected trouble with her fourth. But after a month of struggling with her newborn, she hired Melanie Henstrom for help. Ms. Henstrom, a lactation consultant, identified a culprit: The infant’s tongue was tethered to the bottom of her mouth. It was a common problem, she said, and could be fixed with a quick procedure at a
dentist’s office. “It was touted as this miracle cure,” said Ms. Merrell. Ms. Henstrom recommended a dentist, who in December 2017 cut under the baby’s tongue with a laser. Within days, the infant, Eleanor, was refusing to eat and had become dangerously dehydrated, medical records show. She spent her first Christmas on a feeding tube.

photo shows Bill Gates posing with Epstein accuser years after his 2008 conviction: report . . . Billionaire Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates was pictured posing with one of Jeffrey Epstein’s accusers — part of the well-connected sex offender’s use of photos to manipulate the women he abused and control the narrative around his nefarious behavior, according to a new report. The photo — believed to be among the first showing Gates with an alleged Epstein victim — was allegedly taken by
the shady financier himself at Gates’ Seattle office in March 2014, years after Epstein’s 2008 conviction in Florida for soliciting and procuring a minor for prostitution, the Wall Street Journal reported. New York Post Elon Musk says 'DEI must DIE,' explains why . . . Elon Musk is apparently not a fan of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs, arguing that such initiatives are destructive and need to be ended.
The tech billionaire took to his social media platform, X, on Friday to declare that "DEI must DIE," saying, "The point was to end discrimination, not replace it with different discrimination." Fox Business Biden’s alarming harassment of Elon Musk . . . Even as President Biden accuses Donald Trump of threatening our democracy, he is employing agencies of the federal government to harass and punish Elon Musk, whom he seems to consider a political opponent. Why? Because the
mercurial entrepreneur has the temerity to criticize Biden and champion free speech. In addition, Musk released the infamous Twitter files, which showed the White House conspiring to censor communications on platforms like Facebook and Twitter. The Hill
Greenwald: CNN's Incredibly Revealing Exchange With Vivek Ramaswamy About January 6 "Inside Job" . . . "System Update" journalist Glenn Greenwald reviews and comments on this exchange between Vivek Ramaswamy and CNN host Abby Phillip about January 6 being an "inside job." "First of all, this question is so stupid," Greenwald said. "Think about this question. 'So there's this bad guy in a criminal trial and he used Vivek's comments about January 6 in an effort to defend himself.
Aren't you concerned about that?' Why would you be concerned about that? Who cares? That has nothing to do with anything. The only thing that matters is whether what Vivek is saying is truthful!" "If it's truthful and a January 6 defendant cites it, that's how the justice system is supposed to work!" Real Clear Politics ‘Housing First’ Caused the Homelessness Catastrophe . . . Homelessness is a national disgrace. Large swaths of some of America’s (once) most beautiful cities are squalid squatter camps. Visit San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, or Los Angeles and you will see miles of homeless people living on the streets in tents—many openly drug-addled and soiling sidewalks with used needles and human waste. How did the United
States end up in such a filthy state? Blame ideologically driven public policies, most particularly, “Housing First,” a fine-sounding—but ultimately dysfunction-inducing—approach that thwarts ending our homelessness catastrophe. Housing First approaches homelessness as exclusively an economic problem. Throw enough money into the assisted housing
sector, the theory goes, and people will quickly get back on their feet. Never mind that the crisis is largely caused by anti-social and dysfunctional personal behaviors. What matters is giving people a free place to live. Discovery
