'United States Canal!'
Trump suggested in a lengthy Truth Social post on Saturday that the Panama Canal, over which communist China is increasingly exerting influence and where fees are high and capacity is limited, "is considered a VITAL National Asset for the United States, due to its critical role to America's Economy and National Security."
"The United States is the Number One user of the Canal, with over 70 percent of all transits heading to, or from, U.S. ports. Considered one of the Wonders of the Modern World, the Panama Canal opened for business 110 years ago, and was built at HUGE cost to the United States in lives and treasure — 38,000 American men died from infected mosquitos in the jungles during construction."
"If the principles, both moral and legal, of this magnanimous gesture of giving are not followed, then we will demand that the Panama Canal be returned to us, in full, and without question," added Trump. "To the Officials of Panama, please be guided accordingly!"

Trump threatens Panama over exorbitant fees
Trump Threatens to Take Back Control of Panama Canal
President-elect Trump took issue with fees charged to use the Panama Canal, a vital shipping route, on Saturday night, claiming that he will demand oversight of the waterway be given back to the U.S. when he returns to office if it’s not changed.“The fees being charged by Panama are ridiculous, especially knowing the extraordinary generosity that has been bestowed to Panama by the U.S,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “This complete ‘rip-off’ of our Country will immediately stop….”
Panama charges tariffs for boats and ships to pass through its canal. Fees vary based on the size and purpose of vessels, and the charges range from as low as $0.50 to as high as $300,000.
“If the principles, both moral and legal, of this magnanimous gesture of giving are not followed, then we will demand that the Panama Canal be returned to us, in full, and without question,” Trump continued. “To the Officials of Panama, please be guided accordingly!
The U.S. uses the Panama Canal more than any other country. Control of the canal was transferred from the U.S. to the Central American country in 1999 as a result of a 1979 treaty under President Jimmy Carter, which Trump said was a foolish decision.

Trump represents a political realignment--Defined by Working Class Populists
Financial Times Awards Trump Person Of The Year
"It’s official: Donald J. Trump has been named “Person of the Year” by both TIME Magazine and the Financial Times for 2024. And let’s be honest—it wasn’t even a contest.Trump’s political resurgence is nothing short of historic. After being counted out by every mainstream pundit, written off as a political relic, and relentlessly hounded by legal battles and media smear campaigns, Trump not only survived—he thrived.
The Financial Times got it right when they called 2024 “the age of Trump.” This isn’t just another election win—it’s a political earthquake. Trump didn’t just win back the presidency; he reshaped the political landscape along the way.
The 2024 campaign was classic Trump: bold, unapologetic, and laser-focused on the issues that actually matter to Americans. Inflation, border security, energy independence—these weren’t just talking points; they were promises backed by four years of proof from his first term."

Pete Hegseth
The tide is turning in Pete Hegseth’s confirmation fight
Pete Hegseth is fighting off a vicious smear campaign to get confirmed and no group of people do it better than Democrats--they lie with inpunity but it all did catch up with them in the General Election this year.The momentum is beginning to shift.
And Pete Hegseth heard one secret from a Republican Senator that wrecked Democrats. RINO U.S. Senators Joni Ernst (R-IA) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC), who were working to kill his confirmation behind the scenes, flipped. They now support him and reject the false smears against Pete.
Republicans have a 53-47 majority in the Senate. Hegseth can only afford to lose three Republican Senators if every Democrat votes against him.

In a significant development that could strain UK-China relations, a Chinese spy allegedly linked to Prince Andrew might soon be identified in the House of Commons.According to the US Sun, This potential exposure follows intense debates over the necessity and implications of lifting the anonymity order protecting the spy.
The controversy centers on whether to publicize the identity of a Chinese individual accused of espionage activities involving several prominent British figures, including members of the Royal Family.
The spy has been photographed with key political figures such as former Prime Ministers Theresa May and David Cameron, which has raised questions about the depth of their infiltration.

Lake Worth Beach to Demolish north Water Tower
Tanks for the memories: LWB’s north water tower is coming down after 78 years
"A LONGTIME LANDMARK on the north end of Lake Worth Beach is about to disappear.The old water tower rising 110 feet above the southeast corner of 22nd Avenue North and North D Street will be dismantled on Jan. 6, ending a 78-year run of providing both water and a reference point for residents.
Built in 1946 and topped with a 300,000 gallon tank, the tower has been out of commission since August 2023 because of adverse effects on water quality, said Vaughn Baker, the city's water utilities director. Corrosion is causing the tank’s wind rods to fall apart, she said.
The city has no plans to use it again and can rely on its other water tower, built in 1991 next to Interstate 95 near Sixth Avenue South.
To save on maintenance costs and eliminate a potential safety hazard, officials decided to remove the north tower and make the footprint space available for other public uses. The land is part of the city’s Northwest Park."

Cancer vaccine developed in Russia
Russia says it's developed a free cancer vaccine
The Daily Mail reported: "Andrey Kaprin, who heads the Radiology Medical Research Center of the Ministry of Health, said the shot will launch in early 2025, according to state-run media.The vaccine will apparently be used to treat cancer patients, rather than being given to the general public to prevent tumors from forming in the first place.
Previous comments by Russian government scientists suggest each shot is personalized for the individual patient, which is similar to cancer vaccines being developed in the West.
It is currently not clear which cancers the vaccine is designed to treat, how effective it is or how Russia plans to roll it out. The name of the vaccine has not been revealed.
Personalized cancer vaccines are designed to teach the immune system how to recognize and attack proteins specific to that patient's cancer. To do this, vaccines use genetic material called RNA from a patient's own tumor.

Chip Roy Slams GOP
Chip Roy Takes on His Own Party: Calls Out GOP for Betrayal
Republican Representative Chip Roy (R-TX) exploded on his GOP colleagues during a crucial vote on a continuing resolution aimed at preventing a government shutdown.Not mincing words, Roy lambasted his party for abandoning fiscal responsibility and betraying conservative principles.
In a fiery speech on the House floor, Roy railed against the bill, which he said would increase the national debt by a whopping $5 trillion. He also called out his fellow Republicans for adding $110 billion in unpaid-for spending and suspending PAYGO, a measure designed to enforce budgetary discipline.
Speaker Mike Johnson defies Trump
With his job on the line, Mike Johnson cancels appearance at conservative event
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) backed out of an event with Donald Trump on Friday as Congress scrambled to pass a spending bill to stop a government shutdown.Johnson had been scheduled to appear at a Turning Point USA event Friday with Trump and Tucker Carlson, but Johnson's plans were changed by the spending fight, which has placed Johnson's job in jeopardy.
After three days of legislative drama, Johnson passed a bill Friday to keep the government open - but the bill importantly did not include Trump's demands to raise the debt limit.
Earlier in the week, Trump had killed Johnson's first spending bill, a bloated 1,500-page compromise with Democrats that sparked ire from the right while raising doubts about Johnson's future. Trump urged Johnson to get a better deal, which Trump said must include a suspension of the debt limit.
The final deal passed 366-34 and funds the government until March, with $100 billion in disaster aid for hurricane victims and $10 billion for farmers. While smaller than Johnson's original bill, it does not include the debt limit suspension that Trump wanted.

Biden enforcing its radical Climate Agenda
California’s Gas Car Ban: The Left’s Last Futile Stand Against Trump
The Biden administration, in what can only be described as a final “Hail Mary” to enforce its radical climate agenda, has weaponized the EPA to approve California’s infamous gas car sales ban.This last-minute maneuver is conveniently timed just before President-elect Trump takes office, ensuring maximum chaos for the incoming administration and everyday Americans.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) granted California two waivers under the Clean Air Act, allowing the state to phase out gas-powered car sales by 2035. Of course, this affects far more than California.
Thanks to California’s self-appointed role as the de facto ruler of U.S. emissions policies, the other 17 states that blindly follow its lead—and effectively the entire country—are being dragged into this electrified dystopia.
This sweeping mandate doesn’t just target California; it will force automakers nationwide to cater to these rules since no car manufacturer can afford to design vehicles for just one state.

The Racist, Al Sharpton
Al Sharpton rages over Vance inviting Daniel Penny to the football game
Reverend Al Sharpton raged over Penny being a guest of Vance at the Army-Navy during a segment on MSNBC.“It is amazing to me that you would have someone that choked to death an unarmed man who had mental problems and act as though he’s some kind of hero,” Sharpton ranted. “The clear message is that you are now giving legitimacy to vigilanteism, and it could make others feel that they can take the law into their own hand.”
Sharpton played the only card he knew, the race card.
“He’ll make this guy, whose only claim to fame is that he choked to death an unarmed man with mental issues,” Sharpton raved. “It ought to be insult to all Americans beyond race. If the race was the other way around, would the reaction be the same? I think Donald Trump is clearly sending a racial signal here. I think a lot of those that have fell in line are comfortable with that. That’s frightening.”
Penny was acquitted by a jury of his peers in Manhattan because they didn’t fall victim to Sharpton’s hysteria.

A bombshell report by the House Administration Oversight Subcommittee recommended Liz Cheney face criminal prosecution for allegedly tampering with January 6 Committee witness Cassidy Hutchinson.
“This secret communication with a witness is improper and likely violates 18 U.S.C. 1512. Such action is outside the due functioning of the legislative process and therefore not protected by the Speech and Debate clause,” the report stated.
Hutchinson falsely testified that Trump attacked a Secret Service driver and attempted to seize control of his vehicle after his protection detail refused to take him to the Capitol following his rally speech.

Biden 's Student Loan Forgiveness - Merry Christmas to American Taxpayers
Biden Withdraws Student Loan Forgiveness Programs
Of the two initiatives withdrawn on Dec. 20, one sought to “waive all or part of any student loan debts owed to the Department based on the Secretary’s determination that a borrower has experienced or is experiencing hardship related to such a loan.”The other would have allowed the secretary of education to waive repayment of various categories of outstanding amounts.
The decision was made during the waning days of the Biden administration as it faces a court battle over the president’s student debt relief efforts. In 2023, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down one of Biden’s debt relief plans in the case Biden v. Nebraska.
Also on Dec. 20, the administration announced it was canceling debt for 55,000 public service workers. According to the Education Department, the additional relief amounted to $4.28 billion.
America First Legislation
Congress Passes Revised Funding Plan, Averting Government Shutdown
The bill heads to Biden’s desk. It includes $110 billion in disaster aid, $30 billion in farm aid, and extends the farm bill for one year.Both chambers of Congress on Dec. 21 passed a last-minute funding package that would extend government funding to March 14, sending it to President Joe Biden’s desk.
The legislation, dubbed the American Relief Act, passed the Senate in a late-night 85-11 vote that wrapped up not long after the midnight shutdown deadline on Saturday. The House of Representatives passed the same bill in a 366–34 vote earlier in the afternoon on Dec. 20.
The passage of the legislation by both chambers of Congress caps off a week of uncertainty as lawmakers sought to reorganize following the collapse of a previous funding agreement due to opposition from President-elect Donald Trump and other Republicans.

Sit Your Ass Back Down” – GOP Rep. Slams Trey Gowdy in Epic Tirade
Republican Congresswoman Nancy Mace from South Carolina slammed former Congressman and Fox News contributor Trey Gowdy over his recent appearance on Bret Baier’s Special Report. During the segment, Gowdy criticized Mace for voting against the government funding bill and for her support of former President Trump.In response, Mace told Gowdy to “Sit Your Ass Back Down,” and reminded him of his failure to hold Hillary Clinton accountable for the Benghazi attack during his time as chair of the House Committee on Benghazi.
Mace also pointed out that Gowdy recently attacked Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz, calling him “corrupt” and “dumbfounding” for his role in the efforts to oust House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy.
But Mace didn’t stop there. She also took a jab at Gowdy’s appearance, asking “Which bathroom do we think Trey Gowdy uses?” Along with a picture of Gowdy, who some say resembles the controversial lesbian soccer player Megan Rapinoe.

Report confirms Trump ordered military assets to Capitol on January 6
New Report Claims Trump Ordered Military Protection for Capitol Before January 6
This is nothing new to me--we all knew it
"A bombshell revelation about former President Donald Trump's actions leading up to the January 6 Capitol incident has emerged as he prepares to return to the White House.According to The Western Journal, a new report indicates that Trump explicitly ordered then-Acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller to deploy military assets to ensure safety during the January 6 certification, but Miller allegedly defied these orders.
The report, titled "On the Failures and Politicization of the January 6 Select Committee," cites transcripts from Department of Defense Inspector General interviews that paint a drastically different picture from the narrative promoted by the Democratic-led January 6 committee.
These documents suggest that Milley's decision to ignore Trump's directive may have contributed to the security failures that day. Former Joint Chiefs Chairman Mark Milley admitted to investigators that he deliberately chose to disregard Trump's directive, stating:
There was absolutely — there is absolutely no way I was putting U.S. Military forces at the Capitol.Read about it...

Trump’s Health Pick RFK Jr. Starts Capitol Hill Meetings with GOP Senators
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., selected by President-elect Donald Trump as his choice for Health and Human Services secretary, has begun a series of meetings with Republican senators on Capitol Hill.Kennedy’s nomination is already facing scrutiny, particularly over his controversial anti-vaccine views, stance on abortion, and proposed changes to the healthcare system.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. began meeting with over two dozen Republican senators this week as part of his nomination process for health and human services secretary, amid concerns over his views on vaccines, abortion, and healthcare reform.
Kennedy, an environmental lawyer and activist, began his Capitol Hill visits on Monday, engaging with key Republican figures, including Senate Majority Leader John Thune of South Dakota, Majority Whip John Barrasso of Wyoming, and the soon-to-be Finance Committee Chair Mike Crapo of Idaho. These meetings are crucial as the Finance Committee, which Crapo will head, will play a central role in approving or rejecting Kennedy’s nomination.
Kennedy’s meetings are not just about policy but also about building relationships with Senate Republicans who will have to confirm him. The senator’s interactions with figures such as Crapo, Barrasso, and Thune will be pivotal in the coming days as they weigh whether to support Kennedy’s nomination.

"I think the Pentagon absolutely knows, but they’re full of crap"
Marjorie Taylor Greene issued a dire warning about this scary mystery in the skies
Something strange is happening in the night skies across the country. No one is quite sure what’s happening.And Marjorie Taylor Greene issued a dire warning about this scary mystery in the skies.
The sightings expanded across the East Coast and even as far as California. No one is sure who is operating the drones or where they come from.
The FBI told Congress that they didn’t know who was behind them. Frustrated local politicians in New Jersey say that they haven’t been able to get any answers.
Representative Jeff Drew (R-NJ) claimed that the drones were being deployed from an “Iranian mothership” located off the East Coast.
The government is providing no answers about this now-nightly mystery in the skies.
Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) ripped the government for hiding the truth about the mysterious drones on social media.
“I’m going to call it total bulls*** that no one knows what these are,” Greene said in a video. “They can track down a guy that just killed a CEO, but they can’t identify what nightly drones are and where they’re coming from.”

The state of Florida is filing new charges against the man accused of attempting to assassinate President-elect Donald Trump earlier this year in Palm Beach County.Attorney General Ashley Moody was in Martin County on Wednesday to announce additional attempted murder charges against Ryan Routh.
Following the second assassination attempt against Trump this year, Routh fled north on Interstate 95 toward Martin County.
Just two days after the assassination attempt in Palm Beach County, Gov. Ron DeSantis signed an executive order on Sept. 17 to launch a state-level investigation.
In October, the state of Florida filed a lawsuit to stop the U.S. Department of Justice from blocking a state investigation into the second assassination attempt on Trump.

Feds Look to Hire Up to 1,200 New DEI Bureaucrats Before Trump Takes Office
The federal government is currently in the process of hiring as many as 1,200 employees to work on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) — employees who would be embedded into the permanent federal workforce headed into the Trump administration, according to a Daily Wire analysis of federal job opportunities.The jobs have annual salaries of up to $310,000, and could add up to total salary payouts of $160 million a year. Thirty-three DEI jobs were posted in the 10 days immediately following the election of Donald Trump, and the hiring window closes before he takes office.
The bureaucracy is scrambling to fill even high-level jobs, just underneath the ranks of “political appointees,” before the Trump administration takes over.

Vindictiveness of Biden Administration
Biden interested in settling political scores instead of solving real problems.
Connor Boyak says, "Sometimes I read the news and feel like I’m watching a schoolyard spat instead of the actions of the most powerful government in the world.Case in point: the Biden administration’s decision to sell off border wall materials for as little as $5 per section.
How charitable of them.
Except, of course, these materials were already paid for with taxpayer dollars—your dollars.
Everyone (especially the current president) knows that the incoming administration plans to build the wall. That means that taxpayers will get hit again to purchase new materials, likely at double the cost thanks to inflation.
(Thanks Federal Reserve. You’re the worst.)
Anyway…
This isn’t governing. It’s petty childishness.
Actually, scratch that—calling it childish is offensive to kids."
The Biden admin is auctioning off unused border wall materials for pennies on the dollar—treating our national security as if it’s a yard sale. "This isn’t just a fight against the incoming president—it’s a fight against the American people," said Dan Patrick.

Interaction of both is awesome! So many are jumping on the Trump TrainDemocrats still trying to Eliminate Electoral College
Democrats wasting a lot of time
You have to wonder how these people get elected
It never ceases to amaze how many elected officials seem to have skipped the day in civics class when they covered the Constitution—you know, the foundational document they swore an oath to uphold.Once again, here come the Democrats, filing a bill and pushing yet another half-baked scheme to “restore democracy” by abolishing the Electoral College. It’s the same tired mantra, and it’s just as misguided—and unconstitutional—as ever.
First, let’s start with some facts that Senate Democrats appear oblivious to. Article II, Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution spells it out as clearly as it can be spelled:
“Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors…”In other words, we don’t have a direct popular vote for president. Never have. Instead, the states—sovereign entities in our federal system—hold elections to choose electors, and those electors meet to vote for the President of the United States.
This system, known as the Electoral College, is both brilliant and necessary because it ensures every state—not just New York City, Los Angeles, and Chicago—has a voice in choosing the president.

January 6 Investigation
The two worst Reprobates
Army secretary, Pentagon stymied National Guard on Jan. 6
Inspector general covered it up, report says
"Committee on House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight says top members of Jan. 6 Select Committee should face investigation.The Pentagon dismissed an order from President Donald J. Trump to use the National Guard to ensure safety on Jan. 6, intentionally delayed Guard deployment for hours, lied about it to congressional leaders, and used its own inspector general to cover it all up, a U.S. House report concludes.
After a two-year investigation, the Committee on House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight put the blame for failure to get National Guard troops to the U.S. Capitol on former Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy, two Pentagon Army generals, and Acting Defense Secretary Chris Miller."

Cutting a deal with Big Pharma before Trump takes office
Congress is pushing a last-minute and massive health reform bill
This cuts a deal with pharma to raise drug costs for patients.
It would be a disaster for the country and for President Trump.Specifically, Big Pharma is pressuring Congress to ram through a massive pharma bailout that will take more than $50 billion from taxpayers to give to pharma—right before Trump takes office. Big Pharma calls this bailout “delinking” – and it’s pharma’s tool to raise prices on patients.
- This bill will be a massive price hike for drugs that patients will blame on President Trump. That’s why pharma is working with Democrats to pass it.
- This bill undermines President Trump’s commitment to take on Big Pharma – when pharma gets the windfall, Trump will be blamed.
- This bill was a top priority of Kamala Harris and Mark Cuban – she campaigned on it and would get a massive consolation prize despite losing. This is the last thing conservatives should do.

U.S. Census Bureau counting Illegals
The US Census Bureau is adding refugees to its immigrant count
The U.S. Census Bureau is changing how it counts international migration in its annual population estimatesThe percentage of U.S. residents who were foreign born rose to its highest level in more than a century in 2023. It could be even higher under the new methodology. Census Bureau officials wouldn't say Monday how much larger they expected the immigration figures to be in Thursday's release because of the change.
The bureau's annual calculation of how many migrants entered the United States in the 2020s has been much lower than the numbers cited by other federal agencies, such as the Congressional Budget Office.
The Census Bureau estimated 1.1 million immigrants entered the United States in 2023, while the Congressional Budget Office's estimate was 3.3 million people.

Will Lake Worth Beach Save our beach?
Will protesters try to block trucks from using LWB’s public beach?
City commissioners raise possibility to Palm Beach in latest sand fight
"IF THE TOWN of Palm Beach tries to drive truckloads of sand down the middle of Lake Worth Beach’s popular public beach in January, don’t be surprised if throngs of protesters form a human barrier block the convoy.That was the stark warning issued to town officials Tuesday night from city commissioners reacting to emails from angry city residents opposed to the town’s latest strategy to use the city’s public beach for a beach renourishment project.
On Dec. 3, city commissioners voted 4-1 to allow the town to access the south end of the city beach because they weren’t aware of the 2009 prohibition, which was never codified in the city charter when voters passed the referendum. When reminded of the charter violation nine days later by former city commissioner Cara Jennings, the city attorney said the Dec. 3 vote was moot.
When the city told Palm Beach officials they could not grant access to town trucks, the town countered by citing the 1935 state law, setting up a tense discussion Tuesday night at City Hall between city commissioners and Strayer. Palm Beach Mayor Danielle Moore also attended the meeting."
Read Joe Capozzi's article...
Palm Beach is determined to run trucks down and back through our beach to deliver sand in the month of January before turtle season. Our residents spoke out last night--and one was former commissioner Cara Jennings who originally brought forth the 2009 vote of the residents disallowing this.
Residents last night were furious about it, and rightfully so. Some speaking were environmentalist Jill Karlin and dive expert Dan volker indicating SEVERE DESTRUCTION OF THE MARINE LIFE OF HORSESHOE REEF could/will be destroyed by this action. Others condemned our own commission for voting for this on December 3 and pointed out that Commissioner McVoy was the only one voting "no" and looking after our interests.
The beach discussion started about one hour into this very long meeting-

President-Elect Trump Holds Press Briefing At Mar-A-Lago With SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son
On Monday, Donald Trump Gave Press Briefing for 1:40 hours on his America First Agenda
Tuesday, December 17, 2024
Sunset 12-17-24
American Immigration Council senior fellow, Reichlin-Melnick, has argued that Trump’s plan to deport illegal aliens would be devastating to the economy by robbing certain industries like agriculture, construction, and hospitality.
U.S. Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) grilled him about his support for flooding the job market with illegal aliens during the hearing.
“Why would you want American citizens and those who are here lawfully to have to compete against illegal immigrants who by the way are not always paid minimum wage, who are not given the federally mandated benefits precisely because they are here illegally,” Hawley said.
Hawley pointed out that illegal aliens help drive down wages for Americans and keep them from getting jobs in sectors like construction and hospitality.

SAVE OUR BEACH - Message from Commissioner McVoy
Dear Lake Worth Resident,
If the idea of the Town of Palm Beach driving trucks up and down the length of our beach (yes, North to South and back again) sounds awful to you, then please come to City Hall tonight, Tuesday Dec 17. The Town of Palm Beach and your own Commissioners need to hear clearly from you.
I was the lone Nay vote protecting our beach on December 3, so your [loud] voice is needed at City Hall. I apologize for the short notice; the item was only placed back on the agenda yesterday (Monday) afternoon.
Background:
The Town of Palm Beach wants to do a “beach nourishment” project to increase the height of dunes in front of/east of the town of South Palm Beach. To do so, they need to truck sand from Phipps Park down to South Palm Beach. The obvious route would be down A1A, then east between the South Palm condominiums, and then east onto the beach in front of those condominiums.
According to the Town of Palm Beach’s City Manager, the condominiums didn’t like the idea of truck traffic between them, so the Town of Palm Beach figured they would instead just use our beach as a highway. The Town knew that our Charter actually prohibits driving across our beach, so the Town said, aha, Lake Worth doesn’t actually own their whole beach; because the Town owns a 10 foot wide N-S strip above the mean high tide mark, so we’ll just drive up and down that strip. And our Mayor knew about this since February (attached letter). There’s a bit more to the story, but that’s the essence.
This is not a done deal—your voices will make the difference. We do not have to roll over and let Palm Beach drive their trucks on our beach. Come to City Hall tonight Tuesday Dec 17 and tell our Commission to stand firm in saying No! and to tell the Town to go back to South Palm Beach. Tell them that trucks driving between bathers and swimmers would clearly be a safety hazard, so the city manager should use his authority to prohibit the driving. The project benefits the South Palm Beach dune, so let South Palm Beach deal with the inconvenience. Don’t force it on Lake Worth.
Thank you for speaking out for your beach,
Commissioner Christopher McVoy

Town of Palm Beach - Beach Nourishment - Unfinished business
AGENDA DATE: December 17, 2024 DEPARTMENT: City Manager’s office
TITLE: Town of Palm Beach - Beach NourishmentBACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION:
At the December 3, 2024 Commission meeting under New Business, an interlocal agreement with the Town of Palm Beach was approved 4-1 that would allow the Town to utilize the south property line of the beach for nourishment purposes south of Lake Worth Beach.
On December 9, 2024, staff received word that this had been a ballot issue during the November 3, 2009 election. Upon receiving this information, the Clerk confirmed that this initiative passed on the November 3, 2009 ballot (1,971 For / 725 Against).
Unfortunately, the person who held the Clerk position back in 2009 never submitted the results for codification and it never made it into the City Charter (that situation is being rectified). With no current managerial staff being employed by the City back then in conjunction with no mention of the ballot result in the Charter, there was no way to know this history unless you were here at the time.
Upon receipt of this information, however, on December 10, 2024, staff notified the Town of Palm Beach of the 2009 ballot results and that the City would be unable to allow them beach access along the southern property line.
On December 12, 2024, the City received information from the Town of Palm Beach regarding Senate Bill No. 837 and House Bill No. 1124 from 1935 – both of which discuss a 10’ strip of land from the mean high-water line that moves 10’ to the west.
Per the Town, this strip is incorporated Town of Palm Beach and listed in their Charter as part of their corporate limits. In short, the Town is now proposing to utilize this 10’ strip of beach for trucks to haul sand down the entire Lake Worth Beach beachfront from north to south, which would include driving under the William O. Lockhart Pier.

America unleashed MAGA, Donna
Liberal Media Exposed in Desperate Tactics to Undermine Trump
During an ABC panel on Sunday, political strategist and former DNC Chair Donna Brazile falsely argued that President-elect Donald Trump’s base, Make America Great Again (MAGA), was pressuring senators to support his unconventional cabinet picks. However, former RNC Chairman Reince Priebus quickly stepped in to set the record straight.“They didn’t unleash MAGA. America unleashed MAGA,” Priebus stated, highlighting the fact that Trump won in several key states, including with voters from diverse backgrounds. “MAGA is here because it has been accepted by the American people.”
Donna Brazile, you know the dishonest cheater who gave the debate questions to Hillary, continued to push back, claiming that millions of Americans do not support MAGA and that the Senate has a “constitutional responsibility” to vet cabinet nominees.
But Priebus defended Trump’s picks, stating that Republicans are fine with the smears and threats against each other during the process.
“It’s their own people. It’s their own family,” Priebus asserted.

NBC Reporter asked Trump a dumb question
Meet The Press Just Asked Trump The Dumbest Question Yet!!!
President-elect Donald Trump faced tough questioning from NBC News host Kristen Welker who reports on breaking news events during a Friday interview on “Meet the Press.” The interview, which aired on Sunday, saw Welker pressing Trump on his plans for the FBI and its current director, Christopher Wray.The president-elect has nominated Kash Patel, a loyalist and defender of Trump, to take over Wray’s position. Welker wasted no time in asking Trump about the future of Wray and whether he plans to fire him.
Trump responded by stating, “Well, I can’t say I’m thrilled with him. He invaded my home – I’m suing the country over it. He invaded Mar-a-Lago.” Trump was referencing a 2022 FBI raid on his Florida estate in connection with allegations of mishandling classified documents.
When Welker brought up Wray’s performance as FBI director, Trump responded with even more criticism. “I’m very unhappy with the things he’s done and crime is at an all-time high. Migrants are pouring into the country that are from prisons and from mental institutions,” he said.

Jury sides with Daniel Penny, not Alvin Bragg
New York City jury sides with Daniel Penny
In May 2023, former marine Daniel Penny and his fellow subway riders nearly became the next victims of a horrible crime after career criminal Jordan Neely threatened to hurt them.A clearly disturbed Neely made continued threats to the people around him that forced Daniel Penny to take action, putting Neely in a chokehold until they arrived at the next station. However, given Jordan Neely’s crippling drug addiction and poor health, the career criminal died on the scene.
Rather than siding with the marine, New York’s woke District Attorney Alvin Bragg charged Penny with one count of second-degree manslaughter and one count of criminally negligent homicide.
In New York City, second-degree manslaughter carries a maximum sentence of 15 years while criminally negligent homicide carries a maximum sentence of four years. However, a New York City jury found Daniel Penny not guilty of the crime of criminally negligent homicide. This comes after the judge in this case tossed out the higher charge of second-degree murder due to a hung jury.

Never Trump Movement was total failure
Never Trumpers got caught
Kamala Harris wrapped her arms around Liz Cheney in the 2024 Presidential race. That turned out to be a massive mistake.And Cheney and the Never-Trumpers got caught making this corrupt move...Never-Trumpers paying themselves outrageous salaries.
Books will be written about the 2024 Presidential election. It will take years to fully comprehend what happened on November 5.
But one thing was abundantly clear on the morning of November 6: the Never Trump movement was a complete failure and a disgrace.
Republican strategist Scott Jennings said as much on CNN in the immediate aftermath of the election.

In an interview on CNN's "The Situation Room With Wolf Blitzer," Secretary Mayorkas tried to allay fears over the mysterious drones observed in New Jersey’s airspace. He emphasized that these drones, which any consumer can purchase, do not currently pose a security threat.
According to witness Lauren Noeth, the entire town of Morristown is on edge due to these sightings. That town is 30 minutes from where I grew up!
Even though the Department of Homeland Security lacks direct authority to address these sightings, they have highlighted the ongoing commitment to national security.
The limitations on how the government can intervene with such unidentified flying objects have directed the local first responders in New Jersey to take precautionary measures. They have been advised to alert the bomb squad and don hazmat suits upon encountering these drones.
The biden government needs to fess up!

Update from Commissioner McVoy on Town of Palm Beach Sand Project--NOT GOOD NEWS
Update regarding Town of Palm Beach trucks on our beach
"Unfortunately, the threat continues. I was told by staff that *within hours* of our staff informing Palm Beach that our city charter prohibited use of our beach, the Town responded by asserting that a strip of the beach does not in fact belong to us, a 10-foot wide strip above the high water mark.The Town of Palm Beach reportedly further asserted that they intend to drive their trucks down this strip, that is, down the full length of our beach. And that shortly they would be putting in the wooden marker stakes.
The rapidity of the Town of Palm Beach’s “Plan B” response would seem to suggest that they knew all along that our charter prohibited use of our beach for any “beach nourishment” projects.
Our legal has asked for a meeting with the Town’s legal. I will be curious to see if the Town’s permit with the state’s Dept. of Environmental Protection includes a map of the Town’s planned truck route. Stay tuned."

“Don’t Touch Me”: A Moment for the History Books
The “don’t touch me” moment wasn’t just awkward. It was symbolic. It captured the dynamic between two opposing forces: one, a rational conservative pointing out facts, and the other, a race-baiting, narrative-spinning leftist who’s been given far too much leeway by corporate media.If there’s one thing you can count on from CNN’s “NewsNight with Abby Phillip,” it’s that someone will say something ridiculous — and 9 times out of 10, that someone is Bakari Sellers. The former South Carolina state representative, known for his ability to spin a narrative tighter than a pretzel, once again found himself at the center of a bizarre on-air moment. This time, it wasn’t just his words that drew attention, but his hands.
During a segment on inflation and its causes (because apparently we’re still pretending it’s not Biden’s fault), Sellers decided to cross a line — literally. While making a point about inflation’s “transitory” nature, he leaned over and put his hand on Republican strategist Scott Jennings’ shoulder. Big mistake.
You would think he would listen but oh no, he then placed his hand on Jennings’ back.

Republican Utah Sen. Mitt (the Mutt) Romney, a longtime critic of President-elect Donald Trump, gave Trump "credit" Sunday on CNN for successfully transforming the Republican Party with the Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement.
For years, Romney has been vocal in his criticism of Trump, writing an op-ed in 2019 for the Washington Post questioning the former president's "character." On "State of the Union" Sunday, host Jake Tapper asked Romney whether he believes MAGA is "now the Republican Party" or if there could be a GOP post-Trump.
"Oh, MAGA is the Republican Party and Donald Trump is the Republican Party today. If you were to ask me who the nominee will be in 2028, I think it'll be [Vice President-elect] JD Vance. He's smart. Well spoken. Part of the MAGA movement," Romney said.

Last Hurrah: "Spend It All!"
$46 Billion Left? White House Staff Ordered to Use It Before Trump Returns!
When you think it can’t get any more absurd, here comes the Biden administration with one final cash grab
The White House has essentially turned on the “everything must go” sale, urging staff to burn through every available dollar before Trump returns to the Oval Office. It’s like watching a bunch of teenagers with mom and dad’s credit card on a spring break shopping spree.White House Chief of Staff Jeff Zients, with all the urgency of a man fleeing a burning building, sent a memo to White House staffers telling them to “obligate as much funding as possible” before Biden’s presidency ends. Yes, that’s a real quote. Translation? Spend every penny legally allowed before Trump shows up to lock the vault.
According to Zients, Biden’s team has already spent 98% of the available funding through October. But like that friend who’s “almost” done with their diet before they see dessert, they’re not quite ready to stop. Zients told staffers to aim for that last 2% — a mere $46 billion — still up for grabs in the 2025 fiscal year.
Read about the worst administration in history
This is about forcing Trump’s hand. By locking in all these funds, they’re trying to create legal and political obstacles for his administration whose goal is to reduce spending.

Are drones over New Jersey alien tech? UFO expert says there's 'something nefarious about this'
The White House has ruled out foreign adversaries and hobbyists as the cause of the drone invasion in New Jersey, leaving many residents to speculate it could be aliens.The internet has been flooded with images and videos showing bright orbs and triangle-shaped craft having in the night sky that move in bizarre flight patterns.
George Noory, host of Coast-to-Coast AM and a leading voice of the unexplained, told DailyMail.com: 'It's bizarre. There's something else very, very nefarious about this.'
The drones are avoiding capture, he said, adding, 'They shut their lights off, they are undetectable in some cases. It's very, very bizarre. This could be an act of war for all I know.'
But alien tech? Norry said it doesn't add up. 'I'm going to rule out extraterrestrial. It doesn't sound like that,' he said. 'It sounds more like a military effort than anything else.'

Iran behind the drones hovering in New Jersey skies?
Iran’s new massive drone ship left home port last month – and went weeks without being spotted
A newly minted and massive Iranian drone carrier was captured in new satellite images sailing in the Persian Gulf this week — the ship’s first reported sighting since leaving its home port for the first time in mid-November.The satellite images taken Thursday by commercial operator Maxar Technologies shows three Iranian drone ships in the waters off the country’s coast as theories have swirled in the US that Iran could be behind the mysterious drone sightings across the tri-state area, according to Business Insider.
Iran’s new carrier — the Shahid Bagheri — is a converted shipping container that was outfitted to support drone operations and was last seen on Nov. 12, when it was captured by satellite imagery sitting in Bandar Abbas.
Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-NJ) claimed to Fox News on Wednesday morning that the drones were possibly being launched by Iran, citing confidential sources. He just might have something there!

Drones over New Jersey -
DHS, FBI Say ‘No Evidence’ Suggests Drone Sightings Pose National Security Threat
Since mid-November, large aerial drones have been spotted at night throughout central and northern New Jersey
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) issued a joint statement on Thursday suggesting that the drone sightings in areas like New Jersey do not pose a national security threat based on current evidence.“We have no evidence at this time that the reported drone sightings pose a national security or public safety threat or have a foreign nexus,” the statement said.
The two organizations said that they will be working closely with local and state police to “confirm whether the reported drone flights are actually drones or are instead manned aircraft or otherwise inaccurate sightings.”
The statement further noted that some drone sightings in the past have been cases of mistaken identity or may have been manned aircraft. As Breitbart News reported on Thursday, the Pentagon denied claims that alleged drone sightings over areas like New Jersey are foreign-controlled while also denying they are controlled by the U.S. military.
“The Pentagon has stated that the mystery drones flying over parts of New Jersey and the northeast U.S. in recent weeks are not controlled by the U.S. military but also not believed to be controlled by foreign entities,” noted the report. “Despite these claims, the Pentagon can’t say just who actually is in control of the drones causing havoc and concern along the Atlantic coast.”

I find it incredulous that DHS, FAA and the FBI are clueless. Any drone in the U.S. weighing more than 0.55 pounds must be registered with the FAA and can be easily tracked with GPS technology. Nearly 800,000 drones are registered in the U.S., according to the FAA. These drones are reportedly as large as a car.

Donald Trump is the ruling class elites’ worst nightmare as he humiliates their heroes and proudly stands up to their mainstream media puppets.
All their scheming to catch him in some grand “gotcha” moment goes down in flames when he exposes the truth.
And Donald Trump dropped the mic after countering NBC News host Kirsten Welker's propaganda attack with an epic truthbomb when she tried to push Trump into a corner. Trump described Cheney’s actions on the committee as “inexcusable.” He correctly noted that the inquisitors on the “unselect committee” sifted through a year and a half of testimony before deleting and destroying “all evidence.”
Good Night, Patriots!
