KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEF: Another Middle East Trump Triumph for the Media to Ignore. “This is how utterly despicable the journalist class has become. What President Trump has accomplished diplomatically this year should be celebrated by all Americans. It takes a special kind of emotional stunting to not be able to admit that. The MSM is so riddled with Trump Derangement Syndrome that it can’t praise an accomplishment of his even when they think that they’re about to kick him out of the door.”
HOW THE “NEUTRAL NEWS PROFESSIONALS” AT NPR WRITE A NEUTRAL NEWS HEADLINE: Trump Asks Supreme Court To Let Him Join Widely Scorned Texas Election Lawsuit.
So widely scorned that 18 other states have joined it.

THE QUESTION IS WHETHER CHRISTIANS WILL BENEFIT FROM THIS RULE, OR JUST MUSLIMS: Supreme Court Puts Agents on Financial Hook for Religious Freedom Violations. If it’s extended to Christians — and sadly I’m only sort of joking about the uncertainty of that, alas — then Gavin Newsom could be at considerable risk.
WILL NPR AND CNN FOLLOW THE FACTS? Don’t hold your breath. That said, JustTheNews.com’s John Solomon has been following and breaking news about Hunter Biden since at least October. And what the lapdogs insisted was “Russian disinformation” turns out to be pretty well-supported. Solomon details an email from Biden’s lawyer and partner at the time warning him that:
“The January 2017 email suggests Hunter Biden made anywhere from $833,614 to more than $2.5 million a year in the second term of the Obama-Biden administration as he and his partners pursued global business deals in Ukraine, Russia, China and other foreign countries. But it also raised questions about his finances and accounting beyond the alleged Burisma tax payment that was overdue. Schwerin’s email suggested Hunter Biden borrowed money from his company, and also had claimed as income monies he did not receive. “You didn’t receive this in cash and it is in reality ‘phantom income,'” Schwerin wrote Hunter Biden in explaining some transactions.”
Like the Good Professor says: “Read the Whole Thing.”™
XI’S GOTTA HAVE IT: China Seems Ready for a Fight Over Taiwan. “For decades China-watchers have debated what form a People’s Liberation Army (PLA) offensive against Taiwan might take. An onslaught seems to be coming. Saying no to a cross-strait union is not an option Chinese Communist Party (CCP) supremo Xi Jinping means to grant the islanders. Beijing wrote its threat to use force into law back in 2005. Xi regularly reminds everyone that the party’s patience is finite. It seems the only question is timing.”
SO 19 STATES TOTAL: 18 states join Texas lawsuit challenging four states’ election results.
At this point, many Americans — possibly a majority — are likely to regard a Biden presidency as fundamentally illegitimate.

A SETBACK FOR POLITICAL PERSECUTION: Judge dismisses prosecutor from McCloskeys case. “A judge on Thursday disqualified the St. Louis prosecutor and her office from the case involving Mark McCloskey, who along with his wife pointed guns at racial injustice protesters marching on the private street near their home in June. Circuit Judge Thomas Clark II dismissed Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner, citing two campaign fundraising emails around the time she filed felony gun charges against the couple in July. ‘In short, the Circuit Attorney’s conduct raises the appearance that she initiated a criminal prosecution for political purposes,’ Clark wrote.”
HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE UPDATE: 21.7% Fewer High School Graduates Enrolled In College This Fall Due To COVID-19. The core left-dominated institutions outside government — Hollywood, higher education, K-12 — have been severely damaged by the coronavirus. The right needs to follow up on this. And the government’s credibility has also been severely damaged.

AGAINST THE GRAIN: Democrat Rep. Tulsi Gabbard introduces born-alive bill in US House.
DEMOCRATS PAY OFF INTRUSIVE IT MAN IMRAN AWAN:
“Congress Pays $850,000 to Muslim Aides Targeted in Inquiry Stoked by Trump,” reads the November 25 New York Times headline. According to the story, the previously unreported settlement is one of the largest to resolve discrimination or harassment claims, in this case by people who “lost their jobs and endured harassment in part because of their Muslim faith and South Asian origins.”
Reporters Noam Scheiber and Nicholas Fandos give no date for settlement and do not explain why it was “previously unreported.” Congress reportedly made the payment but the only House member quoted is Florida Democrat Ted Deutch, a leading figure in Democrats’ charge that candidate Donald Trump was guilty of collusion with Russia and a vocal proponent of impeaching President Trump.
“It is tragic and outrageous the way right-wing media and Republicans all the way up to President Trump attempted to destroy the lives of an immigrant Muslim-American family based on scurrilous allegations,” Deutch told Sheiber and Fandos. As they explain, the settlement was also “an attempt to bring a close to a convoluted saga that led to one of the most durable — and misleading — story lines of the Trump era.”
What started as “a relatively ordinary House inquiry into procurement irregularities by Imran Awan, three members of his family and a friend, who had a bustling practice providing members of Congress with technology support, was twisted into lurid accusations of hacking government information.” That side of the story could use more detail.
Of all the IT people in all the IT firms in all the world, House Democrats thought Imran Awan was best man for the job. Sometimes working from his native Pakistan, Awan and his family team accessed the computers of some 40 Democrats, including those on the intelligence and foreign affairs committees. Without their consent Awan and his team stashed the Democrats’ data on a server controlled by Xavier Becerra, chair of the House Democratic Caucus.
And speak of the devil: Biden Picks California Attorney General Xavier Becerra for HHS.

I’M CALLING BUBBLE, IT FEELS A LOT LIKE LATE 1999/early 2000: Airbnb skyrockets 115% in public market debut Airbnb skyrockets 115% in public market debut.
Airbnb, which has never made an annual profit, is now valued at over $100 billion. From Wikipedia: “On August 19, 2020, Airbnb announced that it had filed for an initial public offering. The company has been privately valued at $31 billion and is projected to be listed as a public company in mid-December 2020 at a targeted evaluation of between $30 and $33 billion.”
Door Dash, which has also never made a profit, and has lots of well-funded competitors (Grubub, Slice, Uber Eats, etc., plus various local delivery rivals), also soared in its IPO yesterday, closing yesterday at a valuation of over $70 billion.
Tesla, which CEO Elon Musk, no master of modesty, said was overvalued like 300% ago earlier this year, is hovering around $600 billion in valuation.
This is not normal.

COLORADO: Springs barbershop owner files lawsuit over aid for minority-owned businesses.
A Colorado Springs barbershop owner has filed a federal lawsuit against state officials claiming COVID-19 relief for minority-owned small business that was recently approved by the Colorado legislature is unconstitutional.
The owner of Locals Barbershop, Etienne Hardre, claims that the $4 million in relief aid for minority business owners is discriminatory because access to the funds is solely based on race.
Governor Jared Polis, who is named in the lawsuit, signed the relief aid bill into law on Monday. Hardre is also suing Colorado’s Minority Business Office and its director.
Hardre claims the state fails to show how it would prevent discrimination or racism when choosing how the funds are distributed.
The lawsuit, which seeks to remove the minority requirement, says the barbershop owner has lost 33% of revenue and wants to apply for all available state aid. However, the barber says because he is white the state won’t provide him funds for minority-owned businesses.
Hurt everyone with bad policy, then play favorites with the relief in order to assure reelection — progressive politics in a nutshell.

GET WOKE, GO BROKE: How Toxic Leftism Killed The Vibrant Bon Appetit YouTube Channel.
With its gleaming marble countertops and massive 35th-floor view from One World Trade Center in downtown Manhattan, the “Test Kitchen” set was exactly the visual tonic America needed. Bon Appetit became the fastest-growing food-related channel on YouTube, enjoying 40 million monthly views, more than 5 million subscribers, and more than 5 billion minutes watched.
Bon Appetit’s cooking channel should have been one of the bright spots during the pandemic. It should have been a common, nonpolitical intersection where we could all just laugh about yet again ruining our attempt at latkes. At first, it was just that. The Bon Appetit crew adapted almost seamlessly from the high-rise to their home kitchens across the tri-state area. Gleaming stainless cooking surfaces were replaced with cramped quarters, but the stars still shone just as bright.
But in a flash, the “Friends” vibe was dead, and so was the Bon Appetit cooking channel.
The Woke Mob Comes for All
It was murdered in June 2020 by a furious spasm of wokism aimed at Bon Appetit and its publisher, Conde Nast. Both magazine and publisher were accused of insensitivity to employees of any color but peach. There were also accusations of “cultural insensitivity,” disparities in compensation, ill-treatment in the workplace, and tokenism.
The unraveling began just after the May 25 killing of George Floyd in police custody. The once-lionized editor of Bon Appetit, Adam Rapoport, resigned June 8 following the release of a photo taken 16 years ago, reportedly showing him in “brownface” at a costume party. He denied he had altered his face color, but continued internal denunciation made his continued leadership impossible. Weeks after the initial controversy, eight Bon Appetit “Test Kitchen” star chefs, the heart and soul of the show’s success, announced they would no longer appear on the program.
Like many other companies, Bon Appetit felt compelled to declare “solidarity” with the rapidly emerging Black Lives Matter movement, publishing, “Here at BA, we’re often talking about recipes, cooking techniques, and emerging restaurants … but we also understand that food is inherently political.”
The 5o-year old “the personal is political” argument of the would-be totalitarian left sounds much better in the original Italian: “Tutto all’interno dello stato, niente fuori dallo stato, nulla contro lo stato.” Meanwhile, back at Bon Appetit:
The second most popular video from the new era was the first Bon Appetit pushed out: “Test Kitchen” director Chris Morocco making “weeknight meatballs.” Between the simplistic cooking instructions and complaints about his missing blender, Morocco managed to create one of the saddest cooking videos ever committed to the internet.
From his new home in Pennsylvania, he looked sadly into the camera and gave some vague pledge of having feelings for what happened at Bon Appetit — then, on to boring meatballs. That video has 792,000 views. With rare exceptions — videos featuring Leone — everything since then has been a fraction of that.

KATHY SHAIDLE OF FIVE FEET OF FURY AND STEYNONLINE.COM AND HER HUSBAND ARE HAVING A FUNDRAISER:
The pic above is Kathy in NYC several years ago.
Kathy is doing well at home and has homecare nurses and a doctor attending. She is suffering ovarian cancer and is now in palliative care.
We hope to hold on to her at home for as long as we can.
This is day two of Kathy’s Fundraiser. We’ve had a wonderful response to date and both Kathy and I are very grateful.
We know it’s a big favour to ask but we have about $50,000.00 dollars left on our mortgage and hope to pay it down before its scheduled end in 2024. As many of you know my Sainted Irish Mother has been looked after by Kathy and I these past few years. Kathy worked from home allowing me to work outside. That has now ended and our financial situation has taken a huge hit. Eliminating the monthly mortgage payment will ease our financial situation considerably and allow Mom to be looked after at home while I work part time. LTC in Ontario is a Covid nightmare and not an option.
If you can help with a donation or already have we thank you. We know not everyone can but your kind wishes and prayers mean as much to us.
You can donate via the PayPal Kitty button on their blog’s sidebar or via Interac email transfer to [email protected].
Having enjoyed Kathy’s writing for nearly 20 years, I donated.
UPDATE (FROM GLENN): I kicked in a hundred bucks. I’m devastated at her health situation, but at least I can do a little to ease the blow. I hope you will too.

FAKE NEWS FLASHBACK: Matt Taibbi: The ‘Washington Post’ ‘Blacklist’ Story Is Shameful and Disgusting.
Last week, a technology reporter for the Washington Post named Craig Timberg ran an incredible story. It has no analog that I can think of in modern times. Headlined “Russian propaganda effort helped spread ‘fake news’ during election, experts say,” the piece promotes the work of a shadowy group that smears some 200 alternative news outlets as either knowing or unwitting agents of a foreign power, including popular sites like Truthdig and Naked Capitalism.
The thrust of Timberg’s astonishingly lazy report is that a Russian intelligence operation of some kind was behind the publication of a “hurricane” of false news reports during the election season, in particular stories harmful to Hillary Clinton. The piece referenced those 200 websites as “routine peddlers of Russian propaganda.”
The piece relied on what it claimed were “two teams of independent researchers,” but the citing of a report by the longtime anticommunist Foreign Policy Research Institute was really window dressing.
The meat of the story relied on a report by unnamed analysts from a single mysterious “organization” called PropOrNot – we don’t know if it’s one person or, as it claims, over 30 – a “group” that seems to have been in existence for just a few months.
It was PropOrNot’s report that identified what it calls “the list” of 200 offending sites. Outlets as diverse as AntiWar.com, LewRockwell.com and the Ron Paul Institute were described as either knowingly directed by Russian intelligence, or “useful idiots” who unwittingly did the bidding of foreign masters.
But now YouTube is blocking anything suggesting electoral fraud in 2020, and the WaPo hasn’t even covered Hunter Biden.
