#1 - 'We Don't Dispute' It: Georgia 315k Vote Bombshell Blows a Big Hole in 2020's 'Most Secure Election' Lie — by Rusty Weiss
315,000 uncertified votes sure seem like a significant issue. For years after the 2020 election, we were told any questioning of the results in the "most secure election in history" was tantamount to a clear and present threat to democracy itself.
One guy, in particular, almost went to prison for questioning the integrity of the election that saw Joe Biden, the least-energizing political candidate to ever run for the White House, somehow churn out 81,000,000 or so votes.
As David Strom at Hot Air writes, "I seem to recall that President Trump was being prosecuted for making claims about the voting process in Georgia, and that the whole 'election denial' narrative that Democrats have slandered Trump with was based on his 'lies' that have turned out, unsurprisingly, to be true."
Brumbaugh's throwaway admission seemingly exposes serious flaws in the narrative that the 2020 election was secure.
#2 - Slick Willy Clinton Lashes Out at Trump Over Epstein Files Release, Offers Pathetic Defense — by Bob Hoge
Next came the story about the pictures in the document dump, many of which were salacious and featured photos of famous people and politicians — including many snaps of former President Bill Clinton. He was seen with unknown women in a pool, a jacuzzi, and at dinners and other occasions. The story has gone viral, and Slick Willy is obviously feeling the heat because he released a snippy statement Friday where he absolved himself of all responsibility and blamed… Trump.
Per the Daily Mail:
'The White House hasn't been hiding these files for months only to dump them late on a Friday to protect Bill Clinton,' the spokesperson said.
'This is about shielding themselves from what comes next, or from what they'll try and hide forever.'
This statement is all too easy to ridicule for two reasons: one, the Biden White House, a Democrat regime, had the files for four years and did bupkis to release them. Two, they released them on Friday because they were required to do so by December 19 due to an act of Congress, the Epstein Files Transparency Act, that was signed into law by President Trump on November 19.
#3 - Hoo Boy: Fani Willis Has an Epic Meltdown When Grilled by GA Senate Committee About Trump Case — by Nick Arama
Willis said that she didn't review the invoices that Wade submitted, but that she "allowed him to bill 160 hours a week." She claimed he would be the first person in the office every day, and he corrected the behavior of others in the workplace. Why would he need to?
Then she absolutely lost it. "Why don't you investigate how many times they called me the n word?" she ranted. Then she claimed that she didn't review the invoices and had trouble just giving a straight answer as to who did review them.
She reportedly subsequently corrected that answer about 160 hours a week to 160 hours a month, but it shows how much the questioning was throwing her. According to reports, Wade was paid $700,000 for the case for the time he was on it.
#4 - Gov't Makes Stunning Admission Regarding Blame for Deadly Black Hawk-Jet Mid-Air Collision That Killed 67 — by Teri Christoph
Although the NTSB has yet to reveal its ultimate conclusion on who was at fault, it's clear the U.S. government thinks there's enough evidence that the Army crew failed in their duty to be vigilant on their flight. Rachel Crafton's legal team welcomed the admission.
“In a very carefully drafted and lengthy legal filing, the United States admits the Army’s responsibility for the needless loss of life in the crash of an Army helicopter and American Airlines Flight 5342 at Reagan National Airport, as well as the FAA’s failure to follow air traffic control procedure,” Robert A. Clifford, Crafton’s attorney, said in a statement to The Hill.
The final report from the NTSB is expected in early 2026.
#5 - Big News: Conservative Rock Star Will Step in to Take Over Charlie Kirk Radio Time Slot — by Teri Christoph
Jennings, who's gained a huge following due to his hilarious, bare-knuckled takedowns of leftists on CNN, joined the Salem Media Radio Network earlier this year with a one-hour daily show. He paid tribute to the legacy left by Charlie Kirk and thanked the Turning Point USA team for shepherding the radio show in the difficult days following Kirk's assassination.
“First, to my friend Andrew Kolvet and the Turning Point USA team, thank you for your stewardship of Charlie’s radio legacy over these last several months. It has been nothing short of brilliant,” said Scott Jennings. “These are some of the most important hours in talk radio, shaped by voices who didn’t just fill time, but moved the national conversation. I’m grateful to Salem for the trust they’ve placed in me to step into that legacy. Expanding the show gives us the space and time to deliver serious analysis, honest debate, and thoughtful conversations for the audience. Looking forward to more great guests and more common sense for the American people!”
