SCIENTIST STUNNED by vole-hunting predatory squirrels.

My cats have been observed eating the multitudenous squirrels in and around our house. Perhaps I should stop them to prevent being overrun by voles (except for the fact that the cats eat voles, too).

BIDEN'S ENIVRONMENTAL 'PROTECTION' AGENCY just rubber-stamped a California ban on new gasoline-powered autos after 2035.

Will Trump reverse the ban? Probably, but there is an argument for not banning it. Read the whole thing.

ELEPHANTS DON'T FORGET: Elon Musk issues ominous threat to any member who votes for the 'cramnibus'.

Good on him. I also like the term 'cramnibus'.

OBAMACARE is killing people.

I’VE FIGURED OUT TRUMP’S ENDGAME WITH TIKTOK. It’s brilliant.

HOUSE MINORITY LEADER WAILS ABOUT GOP KILLING THE CONTINUING RESOLUTION. Elon Musk floors him with reality.

The Democrats' government is on life support; let help it die.

THIS IS WHY I quit using a calculator for basic math. I was losing the ability to do it in my head.

Same here.

AND THE AWARD for the state with the worst drivers in the nation goes to ... Massachusetts.

Yep. When I was working we had a contractor in New Hampshire requiring me to land in Boston and drive north. Boston drivers are so bad that if you give them an inch they'll try to park in it.

Also yep. D.C. has the lowest speeding rate. I commuted to Arlington, next to D.C., for 11 years. The reason for the lowest speeding rate is that the roads are so congested that you cannot possibly even hit the speed limit, much less exceed it.

Read the rest.

STILL GRIFTING: Crazy Joe’s Discount Pardon Warehouse.

DRILL, BABY, DRILL: Alaska governor calls on Trump to roll back drilling restrictions.

NEARLY EVERYTHING: What was so different this time about Trump’s election?

TRUMP'S CAMPAIGN FIRSTS: "the first candidate for presidential history to beat two Democrat nominees in the same damn election."

LIZ CHENEY throws a hissy fit after accusations against her.

I'll be curious to see if her name is in the next round of Biden pardons....

ELON MUSK: Yesterday's continuing resolution; today's continuing resolution.

Heh.

Update: even this bill hasn't passed the House.

THE HOUSE ETHICS COMMITTEE has apparently decided to release former Rep. Matt Gaetz's [R-FL] ethics report. Gaetz responded aggressively.

Someone suggested the following plan to him:

1. Show up 1/3/2025 to congress
2. Participate in Speaker election (I was elected to the 119th Congress, after all…)
3. Take the oath
4. File a privileged motion to expose every “me too” settlement paid using public funds (even of former members)
5. Resign and start my @OANN program on January 6, 2025.

I'm no fan of Gaetz, but I certainly respect his aggressiveness. Republicans desperately need to show more of that fighting spirit.

Fight on....

MORE THAN ENOUGH: How much voter fraud in 2020?

HERE'S A CHRISTMAS PRESENT

for U.S. Postal Service CEO Louis DeJoy.

REP. VICTORIA SPARTZ [R-IN], an immigrant from Ukraine, announces she's going to DOGE.

Good for her.

NEW ZEALAND DOES SOMETHING RIGHT: Quit funding social studies research.

THIS DOESN'T SURPRISE ME. Ivy League professor addresses UnitedHealthcare murder suspect's possible radicalization in college.
