Wow. A worse than usual post from Roundabout. Filled with false opinions. Meanwhile: The Democrats’ Latest Faux Scandal By John Hinderaker Here are my thoughts on the controversy: 1) The story is based on anonymous “sources,” i.e., deep state leakers. Unless and until someone steps forward, identifies himself, tells us what he knows and how he knows it, and takes responsibility for his statements, I assume everything in the story is probably a lie. 2) Given the lack of regard for the “law of armed conflict” that is consistently shown by our enemies, my reaction is: boo hoo. 3) Is there really a “law of armed conflict” that says you can only shoot at a target once? And if someone escapes an initial bombing, or burst of fire, or whatever, he is home free and can’t again be targeted? I’d like to see that law. I haven’t seen any news source cite to it. 4) If such a rule exists and applies in the present context, it is stupid. If it applies, and one were determined to follow it, it would incentivize a massive first strike that would eliminate any chance of survivors. And would also increase the risk of collateral, unintended damage. Meanwhile, it appears that the Trump administration may be intent on bringing about regime change in Venezuela. If armed conflict develops, the fate of the narco-traffickers will soon be forgotten. https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2025/11/the-democrats-latest-faux-scandal.php

I hadn't thought about it, but maybe I will. One of my B-Daughters works for UB.

The Puppet Show That Ran America by David Manney It wasn't a surprise when we learned about the latest testimony release from the House Oversight Committee; it felt more like the confirmation of what Americans had long sensed. Working inside the White House, staff understood that the man they placed before the camera couldn't lead the country, yet they said so privately while publicly denying it. Writing at our sister site, Twitchy, Doug P. shared the testimony. The staff knew the presidency had become nothing more than a managed performance: They moved him, dressed him, staged him, guided him, and fed him lines. https://pjmedia.com/david-manney/2025/11/29/the-puppet-show-that-ran-america-n4946533

The Investigation into Joe Biden’s Handlers Using the Autopen Yesterday, President Trump announced his intention to nullify any Joe Biden document signed by autopen, that did not carry cognitive understanding of Biden. The House investigation into the White House handlers of Joe Biden, now takes focus. “As part of the Oversight Committee’s investigation into The Biden Autopen Presidency, Chairman James Comer and Committee staff conducted transcribed interviews with several of Joe Biden’s former senior aides and advisors. […] Their testimony revealed that President Biden’s cognitive deterioration was real, visible, and widely discussed inside the West Wing. Witnesses further confirmed that critical executive actions and even presidential pardons were executed without Biden’s direct authorization, signed instead by an autopen. Several aides confessed they did not know who was approving or controlling its use.” https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2025/11/29/the-investigation-into-joe-bidens-handlers-using-the-autopen/

FDA Ties Coronavirus Jabs to Pediatric Deaths by Ward Clark The fallout from the 2020 COVID-19 debacle is still raining down. In the latest episode, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has now found evidence linking the coronavirus vaccines to as many as 10 child deaths, and the federal agency is responding by ramping up new vaccine approval regulations. At least part of this was done at the urging of the Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. We should note that at least part of the new approach is not just on how vaccines are delivered, but how they are developed. https://redstate.com/wardclark/2025/11/29/strict-new-rules-ahead-fda-ties-coronavirus-jabs-to-pediatric-deaths-n2196665

White House Debunks Critiques With Immigration Law by Catherine Salgado After President Donald Trump announced a pause on immigration from Third-World countries and particularly Afghanistan, leftists blew their tops. But Trump has the law on his side.Trump’s White House fired back at critics not with a lengthy diatribe, but by simply quoting from the Immigration and Nationality Act, Section 212(f). This explicitly allows the president of the United States to suspend entrance of a group of aliens deemed dangerous to national security and national interests. The section above-mentioned, and posted on X by the White House, says: (See post above) https://pjmedia.com/catherinesalgado/2025/11/29/white-house-debunks-critiques-with-immigration-law-n4946546

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney Announces New Limits on Foreign Steel and Aluminum, With New 25% Tariff on Steel Derivative Components In short, Prime Minister Mark Carney is conceding defeat to President Trump and positioning the Canadian economy to be compliant with U.S-Mexico trade regulations. However, Carney is not saying that, indeed he cannot; he’s spent over a year telling Canadians that President Trump’s trade and economic demands are not going to be accepted by Canada. However, what he is factually doing is exactly what President Trump has demanded. Prime Minister Carney is saying he is restricting Steel and Aluminum imports from non-free trade agreement countries, and he is lowering the tonnage of Steel and Aluminum that will be permitted for import. His claim is that this approach will help drive up “domestic demand” for Canadian Steel and Aluminum, but that’s ancillary to the real objective. President Trump has demanded Canada stop importing cheap steel and aluminum mostly from China; including manufactured component goods that are made with steel and aluminum (think autos). Canada would not stop, because they could not stop. Their manufacturing base, green energy and climate change economy, is more of a component assembly system now. So, President Trump hit Canada with a 35% tariff, and things got ugly. In June Trump raised the tariff to 50%. The back and forth has gone on all year. Carney now announces restrictions on imported steel and aluminum, as well as restrictions on imported derivative goods that come from steel and aluminum, in combination with a spending plan to bolster the Canadian steel and aluminum manufacturing base. This ends up shifting the Canadian industrial sector to making steel and aluminum products without Chinese import dependency. https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2025/11/29/interesting-development-canadian-prime-minister-mark-carney-announces-new-limits-on-foreign-steel-and-aluminum-with-new-25-tariff-on-steel-derivative-components/

All true. And a thank you to you SC, for not quoting his post.

Fauci involved in ‘massive’ COVID-19 origins cover-up By Victor Nava Dr. Anthony Fauci orchestrated a “massive cover-up” about the origins of COVID-19 while serving as a top public health official during the coronavirus pandemic, Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Marty Makary argued on the latest episode of “Pod Force One.” Makary, a former professor at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, explained to host Miranda Devine that as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID), Fauci went to great lengths to suppress the theory that COVID-19 leaked out of a research lab in China — something few in the medical community picked up on. “One thing that’s extremely obvious that very few people realize, and certainly hardly anyone in the medical establishment where I come from realized, is that [Fauci] was involved in a massive cover-up of the origins of COVID, a massive cover-up,” the FDA commissioner said. “Whether or not he was involved in the experiments or funding the experiments that led to the origins of COVID, he was clearly 100% involved in the cover-up,” he added. https://nypost.com/2025/11/26/us-news/fauci-involved-in-massive-covid-19-origins-cover-up-fda-chief-marty-makary-tells-pod-force-one/
