Babis Slams Government Inaction as 8 in 10 Czechs Feel Pinch of Cost-of-Living Crisis

Former Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babis has criticized his successor and the Czech presidency of the European Union for idly sitting by as Czechs continue to suffer from the ongoing economic crisis.

A recent poll conducted by the STEM company for the CNN Prima NEWS outlet revealed that more than 8 in 10 Czechs have had their household budgets strongly impacted by the cost-of-living crisis.

The survey showed that 81 percent of Czechs have had to cut back due to higher food and energy bills in particular. A total of 62 percent said they had needed to “humble themselves,” 16 percent admitted they currently have “considerable problems,” and 3 percent pleaded that “the problems are beyond control.”

Congress Poised to Raise Overall Federal Spending by 9% as National Debt Climbs to $32 Trillion

Congress is poised to raise overall federal spending about 9% with a 4,155-page $1.7 trillion omnibus bill expected to pass before the Christmas holiday.

The amount of spending in the legislation amounts to $409 million per page.

The legislation, which was unveiled by congressional negotiators on Tuesday, has been widely panned by budget hawks who argue it will worsen inflation.

Wisconsin GOP Rep. Tom Tiffany referred to the bill on social media as the “Nightmare Before Christmas.”

Kentucky Republican Rep. Rand Paul questioned how lawmakers would be able to read the full text before voting.

Inflation is at 7.1%, according to the Consumer Price Index.

US Economy Grew 3.2% in Q3, An Upgrade From Earlier Estimate

WASHINGTON — (AP) — Shrugging off rampant inflation and rising interest rates, the U.S. economy grew at an unexpectedly strong 3.2% annual pace from July through September, the government reported Thursday in a healthy upgrade from its earlier estimate of third-quarter growth.

The rise in gross domestic product — the economy’s output in goods and services — marked a return to growth after consecutive drops in the January-March and April-June periods.

Still, many economists expect the economy to slow and probably slip into recession next year under the pressure of higher interest rates being engineered by the Federal Reserve to combat inflation that earlier this year reached heights not seen since the early 1980s.

Caroline Ellison Throws SBF Under the Bus: Pleads Guilty to Fraud, Agrees to Cooperate With the DOJ

Two weeks ago, when amid reports that the former CEO of Alameda Capital (which as a reminder was ground zero of the FTX implosion after it blew up $8 billion in FTX client funds on trades gone horribly wrong), Caroline Ellison, was spotted in New York just after retaining Clinton superlawyer, Jamie Gorelick of Wilmer Hale, which as readers may recall was the former No. 2 ranking member in the Clinton Justice Department, and in a recent interview, she referred to current AG Merrick Garland as her “wingman”, we asked if Caroline had rolled on Sam Bankman-Fried, who was also her former lover.

Fast forward to today when we just got confirmation that Caroline Ellison has f***ed Bankman-Fried one final time by indeed rolling on him, and “turning states” in the criminal prosecution of the corpulent “Hairy Plotter”, who commingled and stole the client money in his FTX exchange to fund a series of terrible crypto bets at his personal hedge fund Alameda, fund tens of millions in donations to democrats and buy up prestigious real estate for himself and his “altruistic” progressive lawyer parents.

According to a Manhattan Federal prosecutor, two of FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried’s closest associates have pleaded guilty to fraud and agreed to co-operate with US authorities investigating the collapse of the bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange. In other words, they took a plea deal to avoid even more prison time in exchange for serving SBF on a silver platter to the Feds.

Conservatives Blast the 18 Republican Senators Who Voted in Favor of Omnibus Bill ‘Monstrosity’

Conservatives on Twitter blasted the news that the Senate had passed the massive $1.7 trillion omnibus bill by a 68-29 vote Thursday, especially targeting the 18 Senate Republicans who voted in favor of more government spending.

The Senate approved the 4,000-page bill that funds the government for the rest of the fiscal year, until September 2023. The omnibus included $858 billion for defense, $787 billion for non-defense domestic programs and more than 7,200 earmarks costing over $15 billion.

Though many GOP senators had spoken out against the large bill, the final tally revealed several Republicans voting in line with the 50 Senate Democrats.

Democrats Want to Colonize Puerto Rico by ‘Decolonizing’ It

by Daniel Greenfield

There have been six referendums on Puerto Rico’s status. Three of those referendums happened in the last ten years.

In the 2020 referendum, 52% of Puerto Ricans voted to become a state and 47% voted against.

Democrats and their media, obsessed with rigging the senate by adding two senators, hailed this narrow victory as a clear mandate for statehood.

It’s actually a near split with a mere difference of 60,000 votes.

Compare that to the Alaska statehood referendum which passed by 83% or the Hawaii referendum which cleared by a somewhat more modest 68% but still hit the 2 to 1 mark.

House Democrats, with the complicity of a few of the worse Republicans, managed to pass the Puerto Rico Status Act. The bill only states that it must pass with a “majority of the valid votes.”

That’s not a reference to voter fraud, but to the 2017 referendum in which statehood won by 97%, but only because everyone who didn’t support statehood boycotted the referendum, and the 2012 referendum in which there were 500,000 blank ballots submitted as a protest…

FBI Responds to Twitter Censorship Allegations, Blames “Conspiracy Theorists” and “Misinformation”

Responding to allegations in the Twitter Files that it regularly communicated with Twitter employees, flagging content and accounts that potentially violated the platform’s terms of service, the FBI has suggested that what it did wasn’t censorship as it did not ask Twitter to “take action.”

FBI officials said that they provided information to Twitter so that the platform could make a decision on whether or not to take action.

“We are providing it so that they can take whatever action they deem appropriate under their terms of service to protect their platform and protect their customers, but we never direct or ask them to take action,” the FBI officials said.

The allegations that the FBI and Twitter were in close contact were made in the sixth installment of the Twitter Files, released by independent journalist Matt Taibbi.

NY Cheerleader: 16, Fatally Stabbed by Rival; Teen Girl Pleads Guilty

A New York teenager has admitted to fatally stabbing a rival cheerleader after a parade.

The Journal News reports a 15-year-old girl, who was not named because of her age, pleaded guilty Tuesday to first-degree manslaughter in the death of Kayla Green. The defendant will serve 3 to 9 years in a state juvenile detention center, according to the Westchester County District Attorney’s Office.

Green, 16, was knifed in the stomach during a large fight after a parade on April 8, 2022, honoring the Mount Vernon High School boys basketball team for its state championship and undefeated season. She was rushed to the hospital, where she was pronounced dead.

According to the Journal News, Green was an honor roll student and a captain of the junior varsity cheerleading squad at Mount Vernon. The defendant was part of an independent cheer club that Green had previously been with.

The New York Post reports cell phone videos showed a girl flashing a knife and swinging in a large group of girls near the end of the parade. Another girl suffered stab wounds in the incident.

According to the Hudson Valley Post, charges were dismissed for the alleged second stabbing in Tuesday’s plea due to the defendant’s age and in accordance with New York state law.

Police: Man Tries to Bring Woman Back to Life by Stabbing Her in Heart

MESA, Ariz. (Arizona’s Family/Gray News) — Police in Arizona say a man has been arrested after stabbing a woman during a ritual.

According to the Mesa Police Department, 34-year-old Stephen Joseph Anderson performed a ritual to bring a dead woman back to life by stabbing her in the heart.

KPHO reports Anderson didn’t tell law enforcement about what happened or the body of the woman for days.

Court records show that Anderson met the woman, 33-year-old Rebecca Lynn Lambert, at a park close to his house in November.

The two reportedly went to his bedroom and did methamphetamine that day.

Detectives said Anderson told them that he took a shower and when he returned to the bedroom Lambert was dead.

According to court records, Anderson later told detectives he wanted to revive Lambert, so he performed a ritual by stabbing her in the heart with a 5-inch knife.

Police took Anderson into custody about two days later after he was reportedly spotted in the middle of the street with a knife.

Police said Anderson was then taken to a mental health facility where he called his mother and told her to keep his kids away from his bedroom.

According to authorities, the mother wondered what was wrong, so she went to Anderson’s house and found Lambert’s body in his bedroom, and called 911.

Police said Anderson admitted to the allegations and was booked into jail.

Stanford University Runs Damage Control After Featuring ‘American’ In ‘Harmful’ Language Guide

Stanford University is scrambling to respond to backlash following reports that an internal guide of removing “harmful language” from the school’s online materials included the term “American.”

Seeking to “eliminate many forms of harmful language, including racist, violent, and biased… language in Stanford websites and code,” the guide labelled the term “American” as “imprecise” given it “often refers to people from the United States only, thereby insinuating that the US is the most important country in the Americas.”

The term “American” is a common shorthand for people from the United States and no other country in the Western Hemisphere frequently uses it as an identifier for their citizens.

Now, Stanford has asserted that the Elimination of Harmful Language Initiative, under which the directive fell, did not represent a mandatory policy, but was merely part of an internal document intended for discussion between members of the school’s IT department.

Study Shows Chances of Contracting COVID Increase With Each Vaccine Dose

A recently published study from the Cleveland Clinic has questioned COVID-19 vaccine efficacy and posited that additional doses may in fact increase one’s likeliness of contracting the disease.

Conducted between September and December of this year, the clinic examined 51,000 of its employees to test the “bivalent” vaccine, created to protect against the original COVID-19 strain and its Omicron variants. It also sought to determine the effectiveness of subsequent vaccine doses. The study has not yet been peer-reviewed.

The survey ultimately discovered an association between higher risk of COVID-19 and those individuals who had previously received a greater number of vaccine doses. The study further determined that the bivalent vaccines were only 30% effective in preventing infection against different variants of the Omicron strain of the virus

Adults too are told that they won’t make the “nice list” if they don’t have their boosters.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has called for the existing European Parliament to be abolished in the wake of the current corruption scandal and replaced with a new legislature comprised of national delegates.

In a press conference on Wednesday, Orban took his latest shot at Brussels claiming it must “drain the swamp” following the cash-for-favors scandal that saw over €1.5 million in Qatari bribe money discovered in the homes of top left-wing EU MEPs.

He suggested the parliament in its current form be abolished and replaced by a new system in which national governments send appointed delegates to Brussels and Strasbourg.

EU Chief Admits Qatar Corruption Scandal is ‘Damaging’ Bloc’s Credibility

The growing corruption scandal involving mostly socialists in the European Parliament allegedly accepting bribes from the Islamist kingdom of Qatar is “damaging the credibility” of the entire bloc, European Council President Charles Michel admitted.

Arrests made earlier this month by Belgian police of former European Parliament Vice President Eva Kaili, her partner Francesco Giorgi, former Italian socialist MEP Antonio Panzeri, among others for allegedly being involved in a bribery scheme with Qatar and Morocco may have damaged the ability of Brussels to function due to a lack of credibility in the institutions themselves, Charles Michel said.

German Media: Proper Trials Were Never Held for WWII War Crimes, Perpetrators Received Lenient Sentences or Were Never Convicted

The Federal Republic of Germany did not hold proper trials for war crimes committed by the Nazi government, German media outlets suggest. Some of the perpetrators are still being convicted today, one such example is the verdict against a secretary in Stutthof concentration camp near Gdansk. She was convicted on Wednesday for accessory to murder of over 10,500 persons by a district court in Itzehoe.

German commentators admit that there was a tendency in West Germany after 1945 to forget instead of holding the past to account.

PM Orban: Hungary Had Its ‘Most Difficult Year’ Since Fall of Communism in 1990

Hungary is just wrapping up its most difficult year since 1990, the same year the country transitioned from communism to a democratic, market-based system, said Prime Minister Viktor Orban at his year-end press conference on Wednesday.

“I will try to summarize how the government sees 2022 for Hungarians. This has been Hungary’s most difficult year since the fall of communism, but the country has delivered an extraordinary performance,” said Orban.

The prime minister said that the national election held in April 2022 was “a real fight for freedom,” and the country’s independence had to be defended because international actors were heavily involved.

Zelensky arrived in D.C. as lawmakers mull over an end-of-year omnibus spending bill that would grant his government $45 billion in humanitarian and weapons aid, potentially bringing the total American taxpayers’ dollars spent on Ukraine this year to upwards of $110 billion. While some Republicans have questioned the wisdom of such an expense, Zelensky was greeted warmly in Congress on Wednesday evening, receiving bipartisan applause.

India: Mumbai: Murder in the Moving Car While Hindu Bar Dancer Killed by Two Muslims

27-year-old Hindu Bar Dancer Strangled in Speeding Car by Two Faithful Muslims. Both Arrested by Police.

Savita Ghatkopar | HENB | Mumbai | Dec 22, 2022:: Two Muslim men have been arrested by the Navi Mumbai Police Crime Branch for allegedly killing a 27-year-old Hindu woman by strangulating her in a moving car and disposing of her remains on the river bank of Dhamani village near Matheran.

The police said Urvashi Satyanarayan Vaishnav was identified with the help of her slipper. The accused, Riyaz Samad Khan (36) and Imran Sheikh (28), are employed as a gym trainer and a courier delivery boy, respectively.

The police said Khan, who is married and has a son, was having an extra marital affair with Urvashi — a bar dancer and resident of Koparkhairne in Navi Mumbai — for the last six months.

Terming it as a pre-planned murder, Inspector Ravindra Patil said, “Urvashi was murdered because she was pressuring Khan to marry her.”

The police said that around 5 pm on December 13, Khan went to Urvashi’s house. At 9 pm, they left as she wanted to go to work.

“Urvashi worked as a bar dancer. While Khan was driving her to work, Urvashi again started pressuring him to marry her,” said an officer.

Mid-way, the police said, Khan picked up Sheikh. “After he sat in the rear seat, Sheikh suddenly strangled her with a rope in the moving car from behind while Khan held her hands. Later in the night, the two dumped her body on the river bank,” the officer said.

Perhaps Sheikh had also an acquaintance with Urvashi and she did not mind his appearance in the scene. But, Khan had planned with Sheikh to kill Urvashi to get relieved from the pressure of the lady for marrying.

On December 14, the Navi Mumbai police were informed that the remains of a woman had been found on the river bank. “The postmortem examination reports revealed that she was strangled to death, following which a case of murder was registered at Panvel Taluka police station,” said an officer.

Since the crime spot was at a secluded location, the police said there were neither eyewitness nor CCTV camera footage.

“Her slipper had a tag of the shop from where it was bought. A team was went to the shop in Vashi and we scrutinised CCTV camera footage from there,” said the officer, adding that the footage showed Urvashi and Khan buying footwear.

“By his appearance, we suspected that Khan could be working in a gym… We started showing his pictures to different gyms in Navi Mumbai and found that he was working in a gym at Ghansoli,” said Deputy Commissioner of Police Amit Kale.

The above incident of murder of Urvashi by Two Muslims created a high sensation after the killing of Shraddha Walkar by Aftab Poonawala in Delhi and Rubika Paharia by Dildar Ansari in Jharkhand. These prove a high risk to mingle with the Muslim boys and men by Hindu girls and women.

Whether a gym trainer, a car driver, a cyber cafe manager, game parlour owner, Mobile recharge center operator, a domestic help, a private tutor, a colleague and class mate…. all amount to a high risk, if they are Muslims and any Hindu girl and woman fall in that trap of Love Jihad.

The Islamic treatment to a Kaffir (non-believer) girl or woman is differently fatal. Friendship with Muslim counterparts yields dangerous results to the Hindu Girls and women in most of the cases.

Over the past few weeks, Eufy’s cloud policies have come under scrutiny. In late October, a British researcher discovered that phone alerts sent from Eufy were stored on an unencrypted cloud server. The unencrypted data included facial identification data. Another security firm said that two years of research on Eufy security showed similar unencrypted data transfers.

After 9-Year-Old Swedish Schoolgirl Luna Was Strangled Into a Coma by Ethopian Migrant Teen, Her Family Faces a ‘Black Hole’ With ‘No Bottom’

When 12-year-old French girl Lola was raped and murdered in Paris by an Algerian migrant, the story was initially ignored by the mainstream press, but outrage grew so great that the story eventually gained international attention. In contrast, few outside of Sweden know of the case of the 9-year-old girl Luna, which Remix News originally covered in July of this year. She is one of the many who blink across the headlines and then fade from memory, like countless other victims of Europe’s open borders policy.

Now, Luna’s family has given an exclusive interview to Swedish newspaper Expressen about the daily disaster they are living with after the young girl was stripped naked, molested, strangled with her own shoelaces, tied to a tree, and left for dead in the woods as she traveled home from school.

Italy: Meloni Prepares Decree to Curb the Asylum Rush

The new Italian Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni, wants to keep a promise she made during the elections and implement a change of course in Italian asylum and immigration policy by the end of the year. To this end, a decree is to be passed as soon as possible, which is intended to make it more difficult for so-called “rescue ships” to land in southern Italy.

The cabinet wants to limit systematic rescue operations by NGO ships that bring migrants to Italy. According to media reports, rescued “refugees” should submit their asylum application on board the ships, which is to be accepted by the ship’s flag state. Because a number of NGO ships sail under the German flag, this would primarily affect Germany, which in future would have to take care of a large proportion of the illegal immigrants “rescued” off North Africa.

Author of ‘Pornographic’ Kids’ Book is Victim of ‘Censorship’, ‘Tugged Into’ Culture Wars: LA Times Report

Pastor Leading Protest Against ‘All-Ages’ Christmas Drag Show in TN Warns of Rising Anti-Christian Sentiment

A pastor spearheading a protest against a Christmas drag show in Knoxville, Tennessee, advertised for all ages warned that such events are indicative of increasing anti-Christian sentiment in the U.S.

“I think they want American culture to be sexually immoral,” Pastor Ken Peters told Fox News Digital of those who promote such events. “The left has their own religion, and their religion is not Christianity. Just like we would want to raise up kids to love Jesus, love God and love country, they want kids to love their culture and their lifestyle. So I think it’s all part of the culture war. Get them when they’re young. It’s like us having Sunday school.”

Peters, who pastors a church in Knoxville and has drawn attention before because of his activism, has lately made local headlines for organizing a protest against “A Drag Queen Christmas” show that will be performed Thursday evening at the Tennessee Theatre. The show has prompted backlash and support from those on both sides of the issue.

  1. “Former Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babis has criticized his successor and the Czech presidency of the European Union for idly sitting by as Czechs continue to suffer from the ongoing economic crisis.”

    Well, I know that the fed don’t trust the hungry, but the truth is The Czech Republic is currently being milked to death, so much so that the current goverment of Petr Fiala is being considered “The Demolition Government”. While not getting appropriate wages, everything is more expensive in the Czech Republic than abroad, and our “State Owned Energy Sector” makes huge profits off of average poor czechs.

    I’d say that we are being set up for revolution. Being controlled from Washington, Andrej Babis could be considered “Trump’s man in Bohemia”, while the current prime minister of the Ukrainian Government of the Czech Republic is clearly controlled by the Biden administration. When Fiala speaks, he doesn’t even acknowledge “Czechs”, all he want’s is to “Help Ukraine!” and “Work on European Integration”, and so on…

    If The Czech Republic runs out of gas this winter, God Forbid, there will be another defenestration in Prague. Probably not – but the chances are increasing with each tank sent “from us” to Ukraine, and with every F35 our Ukrainian Government ordered in order to “Fight Russia!!”, which is something no real Czech has any interest in doing, I would say.

  2. A Frenchman with an 8″ x 2″ object shoved up his bum and the last name isn’t Macron? Nom de dieu de merde!

  3. Has Guinness been contacted regarding the 88year old French veteran? I am sure he broke some record.

  4. Wow. Maybe that Frenchman should get a purple heart for being wounded in battle.
    On the other hand, since it was up his butt he must have been running away.
    Therefore he should be executed for cowardice.
    Frogs. What else is new. They lost three wars in a row against Germany.

  5. “Study Shows Chances of Contracting COVID Increase With Each Vaccine Dose”

    Wow. Check out Figure 2: it could not be more clear.

  6. The CDC doesn’t break life expectancy down by sex, anymore, just a generic average.
    So presumably, male life expectancy is @ 72 and women’s 80 to get to the 76 avg.
    That’s a wide gap that shouldn’t be hidden by our government. Steps should be taken to close the gap but if you don’t recognize the difference, there’s nuthin’ to address.

  7. Here is an interesting bit of news.
    The ‘Wikipediae’ page for this site has been edited recently-many edits listed for dec ’22.
    The entry no longer contains the ‘islamaphoba’ far-right badbadbadman descriptors (slander), is the wind beginning to blow from a cleaner direction?
