Scott exit brings GOP closer to a DeSantis-Haley showdown . . . The exit of Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) from the 2024 Republican presidential race leaves just four major challengers to former President Donald Trump for the nomination, bringing us closer to the day when it will be two. Trump clearly has the top tier all to himself, with a second tier of Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) and former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley behind him. Washington Examiner Third-party candidates pose new threat to Biden re-election bid . . . US president Joe Biden is facing a growing cast of potential spoilers to his re-election bid from across the political spectrum, complicating his efforts to rebuild his coalition
ahead of a likely rematch against Donald Trump. The list of third-party and independent candidates running for president in 2024 has been expanding — driven by the weak approval ratings of both Biden and Trump. Their poor ratings have produced a category of US voters that pollsters and strategists are describing as “double haters” — disenchanted by both of them. Robert Kennedy Jr, a scion of the famed US political dynasty and nephew of the late former president John F Kennedy, has been running
for president as an independent for several months, as has Cornel West, the progressive activist and philosopher. Financial Times Black for Palestine: Meet Rashida Tlaib's favorite Israel-hating group with terror
ties . . . Black for Palestine is "an emerging national network of black activists committed to supporting the Palestinian struggle for freedom, justice, peace and self-determination" that boasts famous left-wing and anti-Israel activists, including professor Angela Davis, ex-Black Lives Matter head honcho Patrisse Cullors, and 2024 presidential candidate Cornel West. It also happens to count its co-founder as Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), a "Squad" member who was censured last week by her
House colleagues for "promoting false narratives" in connection to the recent Hamas terror attacks. Now, the loosely organized Detroit-based coalition, which launched in 2015 and has pledged "solidarity" with terrorists, is mobilizing Gaza-allied protesters across the United States to rally against Israel, where more than 1,400 innocent people have been killed since Oct. 7, flyers and social media posts show.

Pacific Launches Massive "Theater Wide" US vs China Wargame . . . A massive “bolt-out-of-the-blue” salvo of attacking ballistic missiles designed to overwhelm Taiwan…..a large-scale amphibious assault to surround and take-over the island…a rapid blockade of the South China Sea …..or perhaps even a surprise 5th-generation air attack on US warships in the Philippine Sea ….all seem to be realistic possibilities should the People’s Republic of China suddenly move to annex Taiwan or claim
exclusive ownership of disputed island territories in the South China Sea. Warrior Maven China lures Western scientists to obtain advanced American technology . . . China is investing more than $1.4 billion in a new institute run by former scientists at the Los Alamos nuclear weapons laboratory, part of an ambitious program to hire top U.S. scientists and obtain advanced American technology. The Eastern Institute of Advanced Study (EIAS) is described on
its Chinese website as the precursor to the planned Eastern Institute of Technology (EIT) in Ningbo, China. Organizers are paying American scientists million-dollar salaries and providing other lucrative benefits for their knowledge of cutting-edge technology that China has been unable to generate independently. Washington Times FBI struggled to disrupt dangerous casino hacking gang, cyber responders say . . . The U.S. Federal Bureau of
Investigation (FBI) has struggled to stop a hyper-aggressive cybercrime gang that's been tormenting corporate America over the last two years, according to nine cybersecurity responders, digital crime experts and victims. For more than six months, the FBI has known the identities of at least a dozen members tied to the hacking group responsible for the
devastating September break-ins at casino operators MGM Resorts International (MGM.N) and Caesars Entertainment (CZR.O), according to four people familiar with the investigation. Reuters

Politico U.S. Manages Expectations of a Breakthrough Before Biden and Xi Meet . . . Mr. Biden’s advisers have hinted at only one concrete agreement expected to emerge from the meeting, which is scheduled to be held near the end of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit, called APEC, in San Francisco. The leaders, they said, could announce a resumption of military-to-military communications, which were
suspended by the Chinese after Nancy Pelosi visited Taiwan in the summer of 2022. New York Times International
Israel
Dominates Battlefield With Technological Advantage Over Hamas . . . In a cluster of single-story buildings the size of small classrooms, commanders from the Givati Brigade, the main Israeli infantry force in Gaza, watch a bank of screens showing the real-time location of all Israeli and Palestinian forces inside Gaza—information they use to move around troops and weapons and surveillance aircraft like pawns on a chessboard. Wall Street Journal Children as Young as 10 Took Part in Hamas's Oct. 7 Terror Attack, Survivors Say . . . EILAT, Israel—Eran Smilansky, a 28-year-old potato farmer, watched Gazan children go from house to house in his kibbutz on Oct. 7. Hamas terrorists followed.

A majority of Americans are growing wary of ‘tipflation,’ where services that previously never requested tips are now asking customers for more of their money.

Tuesday’s inflation report strongly suggests that the Federal Reserve concluded in July its historic interest-rate increases and is likely
to keep borrowing costs steady at its next meeting, Dec. 12-13. Consumer prices overall rose 3.2% in October from a year earlier, a slower pace than in September.

Culture UK infant baptized before being forced off life support, father says 'the devil' was in the courtroom . . . Indi Gregory, the 8-month-old infant who was forced off life support by the United Kingdom courts system, was baptized before her death despite her
family not originally being religious. Dean Gregory, Indi's father, said before her death that he was inspired to baptize his daughter by Christian legal volunteers who fought to keep her alive. Dean said he became convinced of the existence of the devil by his family's treatment in the courtroom. "I am not religious and I am not baptized. But when I was in court, it felt like I had been dragged to hell," Dean Gregory said in a Nov. 6 interview with New Daily Compass. "I thought, if hell exists
then heaven must exist. It was like the devil was there. I thought if there’s a devil then God must exist." "Indi’s life ended at 01.45am. Claire and I are angry, heartbroken, and ashamed. The NHS and the Courts not only took away her chance to live a longer life, but they also took away Indi’s dignity to pass away in the family home where she belonged," Dean Gregory said Monday following his daughter's death. "They did succeed in taking Indi’s body and dignity, but they can never take
her soul. They tried to get rid of Indi without anybody knowing, but we made sure she would be remembered forever. I knew she was special from the day she was born.

Is
someone spying on you through your hacked webcam? 7 red flags . . . You use your computer daily, although I bet you rarely, if ever, consider that someone could be spying on you through your built-in camera on a laptop or a standalone camera that connects via USB.

Even Mark Zuckerberg has been known to cover his laptop camera.
If the CEO of big tech social media Facebook knows the risks, you should too. Cyber Guy Feds keep hidden books on vaccine injury reports, barely follow up: investigation . . . Federal public health agencies are reportedly withholding the most accurate and up-to-date reports of vaccine injury from the public, allegedly to protect privacy. Patients don't necessarily see it that way, and it's not clear the feds told Congress. The Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System, jointly managed by
the CDC and FDA, has a secret "back end" privy only to regulators, an FDA official told advocates of VAERS reform nearly a year ago, according to a British Medical Journal investigation published Friday. Just the News A COVID-19 vaccine reckoning is coming for the DOJ over federal mandates . . . By Miranda Devine. The Justice Department has just posted a new jobs ad — it’s looking for eight new attorneys to defend the federal
government in vaccine injury cases. Presumably, the hiring spree is in anticipation of a surge of COVID vaccine lawsuits, as people who were forced by government mandates to take the jab, and suffered serious side effects as a result, try to extract compensation from a system that is stacked against them. “The office is currently expanding to address workload created by an increase in cases filed under the Vaccine Act,” reads the ad posted by the Torts Branch of the DOJ on the USAJobs website.
