Compiled by Michael Hernandez, 12-9-24

There are so many stories making up the mosaic of national/international news that we can’t cover them all every week. The biggest stories now seem to be: the Trump election/transition, immigration, wars, weaponization of government, our nation going bankrupt, massive inflation, phony climate change controversy and related expenses of government/industry attempting to address these issues, and the Chinese threat. So here are just a few:

Delaware Confiscates $100 Billion Of Musk’s Wealth

A Delaware judge moved Monday to confirm its confiscation of Elon Musk’s wealth that he created at Tesla — denying him a compensation package that would be worth over $100 billion in value today. Musk has paid a heavy price for countering woke politics, making X a neutral platform, and backing Donald Trump for president.
Delaware Chancellor Judge Kathaleen McCormick on Monday ruled to confirm her January ruling that found Musk was not eligible for a 2018 compensation package then valued at $56 billion.
McCormick complained the Tesla package for Musk was the “biggest compensation plan ever — an unfathomable sum.” After McCormick had initially ruled that Musk had not gotten proper approval from Tesla shareholders, Musk filed suit. Musk said he properly received board approval and later hit financial targets to earn the compensation, including benchmarks based on stock value, profitability, and revenue.
At one point, visionary Musk had driven the value of Tesla to close a trillion dollars during the compensation period. Today, Tesla holds a market cap of over $1.1 trillion. After the judge’s January 2024 ruling, Tesla went back to its shareholders to approve the Musk compensation plan. In June, Tesla shareholders again approved the original $56 billion compensation overwhelmingly — with 77% of stock owners backing Musk and the package.
McCormick saw little contradiction, however, in penalizing Musk for the wealth he created, while granting the lawyers who sued him on behalf of shareholders an incredible $345 million in attorney fees for their legal filings.
Musk was not happy by today’s ruling and took to X: “Shareholders should control company votes, not judges.” Musk reposted other X posts critical of the ruling.

Make America Healthy Again: Trump Team Hypes MAHA Dream Team

The Trump team is hyping the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) dream team ahead of January 20, as Americans await reform that will weed out bureaucracy and corruption and make themselves, their friends, and family healthier.
Breitbart News first obtained the montage featuring key members of Trump’s Cabinet pursuing the MAHA agenda. It begins with Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) describing President-elect Donald Trump’s nominees as individuals who will “shake up the status quo.”

Nesheiwat, a frontline doctor and television commentator tapped to serve as Surgeon General, can be seen in the video making it clear that politics do not belong in the medical field, citing the coronavirus pandemic. Another clip features her deeming it “illogical” to “mandate something that’s ineffective,” referencing the coronavirus mandates.

The montage continues, citing reports that Dr. Mehmet Oz, slated to run the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, will work closely alongside RFK Jr. “to take on the illness industrial complex and all the horrible chronic diseases left in its wake.”

RFK Jr. — who founded the Waterkeeper Alliance and Children’s Health Defense — has also spoken out against fluoride in the water supply and seed oils, and he has advocated free choice for individuals when it comes to vaccines.

Laurene Powell Jobs-Backed Org Shifts Mission To Suppress Immigration Debate — ‘Dangerous Online Disinformation’

West Coast Billionaire Laurene Powell Jobs is expanding her advocacy groups to suppress the mainstream public’s criticism of her mass migration policies. Immigration Hub “will expand its scope to counter far-right disinformation campaigns and push for critical policy solutions, including reforms to Section 230 of the [Internet-related] Communications Decency Act, to build safer online spaces and AI technology,” said a December 3 statement by her new group, Catalyze/Citizens.
Her demand for changes in the Internet law suggests that she would use her social ties in Silicon Valley, her advocacy, and her lawyers to suppress mainstream public criticism of the nation’s wealth-shifting Extraction policies. But that plan would require a new anti-free-speech law from Congress or a remarkable decision by the U.S. Supreme Court

Ms. Powell Jobs whose late husband was the Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, controls a fortune worth $11 billion and has an array of interests in which she invests,” the New York Times reported on November 30.

The group’s blame-the-narrative campaign echoes the view of many pro-migration groups that Donald Trump won the election by manipulating the voters via distorted media reports. That claim sidelines the evidence that voters recognize the vast economic and civic damage caused by the elite-driven desire for the extraction of many more foreign blue-collar and white-collar workers, renters, and consumers from poor countries.

EPA Advisor Caught On Undercover Video Admitting “Insurance Policy” Against Trump Is Funneling Billions To Climate Organizations

Project Veritas caught Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Advisor Brent Efron on undercover video admitting there is an “insurance policy” against President Trump. President Trump nominated Lee Zeldin to run the EPA.
“It was an insurance policy against Trump winning,” Brent Efron told Project Veritas undercover journalist. “Get the money out as fast as possible before they [Trump Administration] come in … it’s like we’re on the Titanic and we’re throwing gold bars off the edge,” Efron said.
Efron spoke to a Project Veritas investigative journalist about his role in doling out over $100 billion in grants to nonprofits under Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act, which he dubs “Biden’s climate law.” The EPA’s website describes these grants as part of their mission to advance “environmental and climate justice.” Efron even admits that the EPA is scrambling to push money out the door for projects originally designed for a Kamala Harris presidency.
“The thing that we haven’t funded yet are [sic] the local nonprofit program that was going to be an inter-Kamala Harris administration program… so now we’re getting it [funding] out as quick as possible. It’s like two billion at this point, we’ve got most of it out – like 90%.”
So committed are these staffers, Efron confesses, that they plan to work right up until the final moments on inauguration day, rushing to ensure that every possible tax-payer dollar is disbursed before a Republican administration can turn off the spigot.

Bitcoin Price Hits $100,000 After Seeing Massive Gains Since Election Day, Trump Responds: “You’re Welcome!!!”

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, President Trump spoke at the Nashville Bitcoin Conference while campaigning for President in July and promised he would fire current SEC Chairman Gary Gensler “on day one” and “appoint a new SEC Chairman who believes America should build the future, not block the future.”
He further declared that under his Administration, the United States will become the “Crypto capital of the planet and the Bitcoin superpower of the world.” He continued, “If crypto is going to define the future, I want it to be mined, minted, and made in the USA. And if Bitcoin is going to the moon, as we say–It’s going to the moon–I want America to be the nation that leads the way, and that’s what’s going to happen.”
Bitcoin hit the coveted $100,000 price point on Wednesday and was still trading at $103,000 this morning following a more than 50% increase since election day.
“You’re Welcome!!! Bitcoin’s $100,000 milestone also came just hours after President Trump announced his nomination of Paul Atkins, CEO of Patomak Global Partners and co-chair of the Digital Chamber’s Token Alliance, as SEC Chairman. Trump noted in his announcement that Atkins, who previously served as SEC Chair under Bush, “recognizes that digital assets and other innovations are crucial to Making America Greater than Ever Before.”!!!” Trump said in a Truth Social post, crediting his election victory for the increased excitement that drove the price to a new all-time high.

Karen Worcester Of Wreaths Across America: ‘Teaching Next Generation Cost And Value of Freedom’

Thousands upon thousands of veterans’ headstones across the United States will have wreaths placed on them on December 14 to honor them and to keep their sacrifices fresh in the minds of all who see.

“For me, to see the American people — what they can do when they all come together — there’s so much volunteerism here and love of our military, and there’s also a great understanding. Our mission is to remember the fallen, and honor of those that serve, and teach the next generation the cost and value of freedom. And the ‘teach’ piece, to me, is what really hits home. It’s grown into an amazing thing,” Wreaths Across America Executive Director Karen Worcester said on Friday in an appearance on Breitbart News Daily. 

Wreaths Across America will start its annual “Escort to Arlington” on Saturday, Dec. 7, and will travel down the east coast before arriving at Arlington National Cemetery on Dec. 14 for National Wreaths Across America Day. On that day, ceremonies honoring those who served will take place at nearly 5,000 locations nationwide. The organization is still taking sponsors and volunteers.

Chairwoman of Incoming DOGE Subcommittee Marjorie Taylor Greene Fires Off Letter To 24 Executive Agencies Over Attempts To “Trump-Proof” And Stop America First Agenda

Chairman Comer has given the green light on the DOGE subcommittee, chaired by Greene, in the next congress with plans to “identify and investigate the waste, corruption, and absolutely useless parts of our federal government,” says Greene.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) co-leaders, Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, were on Capitol Hill this week pitching their plan to cut $2 trillion in wasteful government spending to lawmakers.
Greene spoke to reporters Thursday about her DOGE subcommittee’s plans to expose “every single unelected bureaucrat, every single agency that is wasting the American people’s money, and the big government departments that need to be exposed for how they’re not serving the American people.”
She also highlighted Musk and Ramaswamy’s “naughty and nice list for members of Congress based on their spending habits with their voting card,” which will be used to publicly score lawmakers’ voting records ahead of the 2026 elections. Additionally, “they’re talking about communicating with the American people, perhaps maybe even a weekly podcast or a report,” Green explained.
The committee’s first act on exposing corruption is putting 24 of Biden’s federal agencies on notice with a letter informing them of an investigation into “whether agency leaders are abusing federal labor laws by granting authority over agency operations and policy to unions, chiefly to bind the hands of a future President.”
The letter cites recent reports that the Biden Regime and Unions have colluded to undermine the incoming administration’s agenda.

Evidence Suggests FDR Let Pearl Harbor Happen to Force America into WWII

83 years ago. yesterday, America was brought into war with what was described then, and has been described consistently since, as a “sneak attack” by Imperial Japan.
Then-President Franklin Roosevelt gave a speech on December 8th before Congress where he described it as a “Day of Infamy” where America was suddenly and deliberately attacked.
What Roosevelt failed to mention is that he knew the attack was going to happen, the government had received copious warnings about what was going to happen, and those warnings were not only ignored but steps were taken to facilitate the Japanese attack.
A series of events and factual matters strongly suggest that Roosevelt not only wanted war, but employed his top officials to help him in that effort.
Roosevelt knew. And he could have done anything to stop it. But he didn’t want to stop it. He wanted to use it.

Shadow ‘President’ Trump Strides World Stage

Donald Trump does not take office until January 20, but on the world stage he is already acting as if he is US president. President-elect Trump has stamped his seal on US diplomacy on crises in Syria and Ukraine as his second spell in the White House approaches. World leaders have jostled to talk to Trump and he was treated as the guest of honor at the grand reopening of the Notre Dame cathedral in Paris on the weekend. Lame-duck, single-term President Joe Biden, 82, was conspicuous by his absence at the ceremony, as he increasingly fades into the background.
Earlier this month President Trump used a series of nighttime Truth Social posts to announce plans to slap tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China if they did not stop what he called the flow of migrants and drugs into the United States.
