elon and tucker are beginning to make noise in favor of gonzalo lira;

Elon Musk asked that Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky explain why American citizen and journalist Gonzalo Lira has been imprisoned in a Ukrainian jail despite the United States sending the Eastern European nation over $113 billion in military and financial aid.

Musk made the ask in reply to a new episide of Tucker Carlson's Tucker on X, which offered that Lira was jailed "for the crime of criticizing Zelensky."

"An American citizen is in prison n [sic] Ukraine after we sent over a $100 billion?" Musk asked on X. "Is there more to this story than simply criticizing Zelensky?"

Musk remarked, "If that’s all it is, then we have serious [sic] problem here.".......more.........

The former Fox News host has suggested that he would need a directive from God to become the ex-president’s running mate

Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson has stopped short of ruling out becoming former US President Donald Trump’s vice presidential running mate in 2024, suggesting that he would need a directive from God to take the job if it’s offered to him.

Carlson, who has attracted millions of viewers to his channel on X (formerly Twitter) since being fired by Fox in April, made his comments on Thursday night in response to a media report that he was the potential VP candidate favored by former First Lady Melania Trump. Asked about the report after he gave a speech at an event in Washington, Carlson said, “God would have to yell at me very loud” to accept such an offer.

Independent media outlet Semafor was first to report on Carlson’s response. The political commentator noted that he doesn’t really know the first lady. He has repeatedly insisted that he has no interest in running for elected office. “To go from being, like, a well-paid street corner schizophrenic to, like, a politician – it’s just kind of hard to envision,” he said on Thursday. However, Semafor reported, there were cheers from the audience when he didn’t fully rule out joining Trump’s 2024 ticket.

Axios reported on Thursday that the former first lady was advocating for her husband to pick Carlson as his running mate. “She thinks Carlson would make a powerful onstage extension of her husband,” the outlet said, citing an unidentified person close to Trump.

Trump is polling as, far and away, the leading Republican candidate to face Democrat incumbent Joe Biden in next year’s presidential election. He also faces 91 felony charges in four separate criminal cases filed by prosecutors in Washington, New York, Florida, and Georgia.

Carlson has said that he became an avid Trump supporter after the FBI raided the former president’s home in Florida last summer. He has vowed to vote for Trump and lead protests if the ex-president is convicted of a crime and jailed: “You cannot allow the regime, the president of the United States, the Justice Department, to knock the frontrunner out of the race. You can’t do that.”

Other potential Trump VP candidates include Senator J.D. Vance, Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders, South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, Representative Byron Donalds, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene and Arizona Senate candidate Kari Lake, according to the Axios report.......https://www.theburningplatform.com/2023/12/09/tucker-carlson-comments-on-running-as-trumps-vp/

 mr peters speaks about how the federalies intend to force you, us, into ev's;

Why are they pushing EVs so aggressively?

The “climate crisis” stuff is the excuse, of course. But what is the reason? Well, it’s fundamentally the same reason behind the failed push to get everyone “vaccinated” – which was really a push to set a precedent that would inevitably be expanded, as always happens when precedents are set (as for example when the precedent was set that forcing the car companies to install seat belts in cars led to the government forcing people to wear them).

If the government had been able to establish the precedent that it had the legitimate authority to force everyone to take a drug then it could – and inevitably would – force everyone to take other drugs. And – via this method – exert total control over people’s increasingly defunct right to engage in commerce, move about freely and even freely associate with others. (The latter right has been largely defunct since the “civil rights” legislation of the 1960s set the precedent that people must associate with one another; a subject for another time.).......more.........

 

 caitlin speaks about children in gaza just for starters;

For all the efforts to spin, justify and distract from the mass atrocity Israel and its allies are perpetrating in Gaza, more and more people are opening their eyes to what’s happening, and are ceasing to fall for the propaganda any longer.

The Independent has an article out titled “Inside a southern Gaza hospital: Screaming orphaned children, amputee toddlers and the stench of rotting flesh,” which begins as follows:

“A badly burned toddler screaming for the mother he doesn’t know is dead — and screaming because doctors do not have enough painkillers to relieve his suffering. An eight-year-old boy whose brain is exposed as bombing damaged parts of his skull. A teenage girl, her eye surgically removed, because every bone in her face is smashed. A three-year-old double amputee, whose severed limbs are laid out in a pink box beside him.

“And in the background is the stench of rotting flesh as maggots ‘creep out of untreated wounds’.”

These horrors are all caused by a genocidal onslaught that is being backed to the hilt by the US government, who just single-handedly blocked a UN resolution demanding a ceasefire to end this nightmare. Instead of focusing on the unfathomable depravity of all this, Americans are being propagandized into worrying about a completely fictional epidemic of university demonstrators chanting for the genocide of Jews. ...........more.......

 of course they are, cause that's how the empire rolls, as the groovy would say;

Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY) has asserted that she possesses unequivocal proof that city officials are actively working to enable illegal immigrants to get registered to vote.

Malliotakis submitted a request under the Freedom of Information Law (FOIL) to access the agreement between New York City and Homes for the Homeless, which manages the migrant facility on Staten Island.

Homes for the Homeless (HFH) is a nonprofit organization tasked with erecting emergency shelters for migrants amidst a deepening border crisis. Within this contract’s appendix, the Representative spotted language that seemed to instruct the nonprofit to supply voter registration paperwork to the shelters’ migrant residents.

During a press briefing in Staten Island, Malliotakis announced that she had acquired a portion of a contract between New York City’s Department of Social Services and Homes for the Homeless.

She found that it obligates contractors of migrant shelters to hand out voter registration cards, help migrants in registering to vote, and circulate campaign materials within the shelter premises.

“This is the smoking gun that proves what we’ve been saying all along, that the city intends to register noncitizens to vote, and even those who are residing in these migrant shelters for just 30 days,” Malliotakis said per FOX News. “It is extremely concerning. It should be concerning to every citizen.”

In an X post, Malliotakis wrote, “My office has uncovered #NYC’s secret scheme to potentially register tens of thousands of migrants to vote in our elections. Take a look at this contract between HFH NYC, the “non-profit” that kicked out seniors to house migrants, & the City of New York.”.......more.........

Casualties

• 17,487 killed*, including 7,729+ children, and 46,480 wounded in the Gaza Strip.
• At least 273 Palestinians killed in the occupied West Bank since October 7.

*This figure was given by the Gaza Ministry of Health on December 8. However, due to breakdowns in communication networks within the Gaza Strip (particularly in northern Gaza) and the high number of people trapped under rubble, the Gaza Ministry of Health has been unable to regularly and accurately update its tolls since mid-November. Some rights groups put the death toll number closer to or above 20,000.

Key Developments

• The U.S. is the lone Security Council member to vote against a resolution calling for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire, casting its veto despite nearly 100 states sponsoring the proposal.
• U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, who invoked Article 99 this week saying that the war was threatening international peace and security, said the situation had reached a “breaking point” and that Palestinian civilians were treated as “human pinballs” in Gaza forced to evacuate from one small area to the next with no aid. 
• Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas says the U.S. vote renders Washington complicit in Israel’s war crimes and calls for an international conference to achieve a political resolution. 
• Doctors Without Borders calls the U.S. veto a “vote against humanity,” while major humanitarian organizations urge the Security Council to reconvene until a ceasefire is passed......more.........
