Mannina further revealed that he was participating in a “huge meeting with military leaders; in a very secure room called ‘The Tank.’” The Tank is a nickname for the Joint Chiefs of Staff Conference room which is a (SCIF), a Compartmentalized Information Facility.
(Mary Dowling) There is uncovered intrigue among generals discussing what they can do about Donald Trump. Jamie Mannina, a spy hunter, is an advisor to the Department of Defense and a special assistant to Hillary Clinton of Russiagate fame. He is in conversation with generals discussing what they can do to stop Donald Trump. They have met in the “tank,” a very secure facility. Continue reading
“Several former chiefs with deep experience in LAFD tactics said most of the more than 40 available engines could have been pre-deployed to fire zones before the Palisades blaze started, while others were kept at stations to help with the increase in 911 calls.”
(Breitbart) Israel and Hamas agreed to a ceasefire deal, mediators announced Wednesday, pausing a devastating 15-month war in the Gaza Strip and raising the possibility of winding down the 
(Robert Spencer – PJ Media) A deeply antisemitic, pro-Hezbollah imam is set to give a benediction at Trump’s inauguration next Monday, and many Trump supporters who had been happy to see Trump’s repeated affirmations that he would support, not betray, America’s ally Israel are now scratching their heads. What’s going on? Was this just an oversight, a failure to vet the Dearborn Imam Husham al-Husainy properly? Or does it herald a real policy shift in the incoming Trump administration?
John Abatzoglou, a climatology professor from the University of California, has studied 30 years of wildfires in Los Angeles County. After examining the data, he was unequivocable: “More than 95% of these [California fires] are human-ignited fires.”
“Together with Obama’s red-line bluff on Syria’s chemical gas use, his backing down to Putin on the annexation of Crimea, Biden’s buffoonish Afghanistan withdrawal, and demonstrably counterproductive if not cynical efforts to undermine Israel’s successful campaign against the terrorists, has all left the Democrats looking weak and incompetent not just to voters but the world’s worst actors.”

“Newsom asked Biden, who was in the Oval Office sitting behind the Resolute Desk with Jill Biden and Kamala Harris in the room, to clamp down on the hard questions.”
‘The wildfires have laid bare a troubling mix of incompetence and corruption at both the state and local levels, with leaders more focused on self-preservation than addressing the crisis. Crowley’s fire department has faced sharp criticism for prioritizing DEI initiatives over essential readiness and preparedness, while Bass has been under fire for her leadership failures and controversial budget cuts.’
“Evidence uncovered by House Republicans and Just the News in the intervening years show that, in fact, there is significant documentary evidence that Hunter Biden and his father engaged in an influence peddling scheme in Ukraine while the younger Biden was serving on the board of Ukrainian energy company Burisma.” 
“Cardinal McElroy, 70, strongly supports Francis’ priorities on refugees, the environment, and welcoming LGBTQ Catholics. He will succeed Cardinal Wilton Gregory, 77, who was the first African-American Archbishop of Washington, DC. He’s in the right place. D.C.’s a sewer of communism.”
“The Corinthians’ accusation that Paul was “walking according to the flesh” sounds like the classic super-spiritual response we tend to make when we don’t want to be challenged by something. “Ah, you are being too bold, that’s ‘worldly’; instead, be spiritual, be gentle, be meek. Leave me alone.” Often this can just become a convenient excuse to not face up to the challenge.”
“Wildfires are tearing through Southern California as we speak, leaving devastation in their wake. People are losing their homes, their livelihoods, and in some cases, their lives. This is not the time for identity politics.”
(Chris Queen – PJ Media) Judge Juan Merchan has sentenced President-elect Donald Trump in a New York NDA case (the so-called “hush money” case). The sentence is an unconditional discharge, which in essence is a sentence in name only.
“Soros has spent upwards of $22 billion to achieve his vision of an “open society,” free from traditional societal structures like borders, national identities, and religions.”
(Anthony Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) Within the realm of Christian apologetics, Wesley Huff has had a meteoric rise to prominence after humiliating Billy Carson in a debate, exposing Carson’s intellectual ineptitude. Huff is the

“The Cahn Man [Jonathan Cahn] is now telling us that three blood moons over the next two years are apparently God’s way of sending a cryptic, apocalyptic message to mankind. According to his claims, these celestial events align perfectly with key Jewish holidays like Purim and Rosh Hashanah—dates he insists hold the secret to divine revelation.”
“Cutting fire protection in Los Angeles is like turning off tornado warning sirens in Oklahoma City. It might not come back to bite you right away on the rear end, but eventually, it’s guaranteed to.”
“One of Trump’s first and most important tasks once he takes office should be to investigate every person at the Justice Department and FBI involved in the Jan. 6 prosecutions for conspiracy against rights. The FBI should be gutted, reformed, and rebuilt from top to bottom. Every DOJ prosecutor who brought charges against Jan. 6 defendants should not just be fired but also investigated for possible criminal charges.”
(Protestia) purveyor Daystar Television Network continues to enjoy the fallout from their ongoing scandal, with several shows announcing they are departing or slinking off in silence.
(Charlie Martin – PJ Media) Alternate headline: “Trump and Musk Win Again!”
“Donald Trump is perhaps the best-prepared new President in history. He is laser-locked on fulfilling his campaign promises and has not refined his outlook. He is likely to dust his critics and govern without subterfuge. Americans will know exactly how the President uses power on a daily basis. Some will not like that. Donald Trump doesn’t much care.”
“Ironically, the Democrats with the help of some Republicans previously pushed a law through Congress that requires the vice president to certify an election even if there is significant reason to doubt the legitimacy of official results. This was, of course, a reaction to the contesting of Joe Biden‘s “win” in 2020, but now it ensures that Harris had no alternative but to certify the election. Relegating the VP to “solely ministerial duties” protected and legitimized Democrats’ grip on power then, but now it has apparently backfired.”
