Biden Admits Prices ‘Too High’ But Blames Sellers for 18% Inflation
WASHINGTON — President Biden acknowledged Monday that prices are still “too high” and argued that companies should lower them after an 18% jump in consumer costs since he took office.
“We know that prices are still too high for too many things — that times are still too tough for too many families,” the 81-year-old said near the White House.

Germany: Scholz Suggests Extending Debt Brake Another Year Against Objections
Germany’s traffic light coalition on Monday, November 27th, presented their suggested solution to the country’s budget woes in a supplementary budget that would, for the fourth year in a row, suspend the debt brake, along with cutting spending by €15.1 billion and borrowing an additional €43.2 billion. The debt brake is intended to limit the ability of the government to take on new debt.
The proposal, which will have to be approved by the Bundestag, is sure to prompt additional debate as even the FDP, part of Chancellor Scholz’s coalition government, is opposing extending the suspension of the debt brake.

Last week, the Federal Constitutional Court ruled the left-liberal German government’s scheme to transfer €60 billion of unused coronavirus loans to the Climate Fund (KTF) was unconstitutional. The government, which was relying on the funds to finance its budget, is now facing a budgetary crisis. In turn, the Alternative for Germany (AfD) has proposed five areas where the government can make budget cuts, outlined in the bottom half of this article, with a focus on deporting migrants, ending weapon shipments to Ukraine, and shutting down the green energy transition.
The German Constitutional Court ruling on the supplementary budget has put Germany’s left-liberal traffic light coalition in deeper trouble than it originally estimated. While Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) said after the ruling was handed down a week ago that deliberations on the 2024 federal budget would continue as planned, the final consultation scheduled for Thursday has now been postponed.

Biden Pushes $106 Billion Aid Package for Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan
Democrat President Joe Biden and his administration are pushing for billions of dollars in taxpayer money to fund an aid package for three foreign nations.
Biden and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) are trying to get the funding for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan approved by Congress during the first week of December.
The Biden admin has so far failed to push through its supplementary $106B “national security” proposal.
According to Schumer, “the biggest holdup” to passing the package is GOP insistence on policy changes regarding U.S. border security.

Chicago-Area High School Provides Segregated Classes for Black and Hispanic Students
A high school in Evanston, Illinois, home of Northwestern University, has embarked on a new plan to try to get grades up for minority students: segregation. The classes, segregated by race for black and Hispanic students, are called “affinity classes,” and while they are not enforced, they were offered for black and Hispanic students only.
The classes have non-white teachers and no white students are permitted in the courses. Students can decide to opt in to these courses, and many do. The Wall Street Journal reports that almost 200 students signed up for math and writing courses in 2023. The idea is that black and Hispanic students will do better in classes if they are separated from white students.

Moderna is Caught Monitoring Online Speech
It has come to light that Moderna, a leading pharmaceutical company, just like it was revealed of Pfizer earlier this year, has been actively involved in monitoring and influencing vaccine-related narratives on social media and other platforms.

PGP is intricately linked with social media platforms, government bodies, and news sites to identify and counteract the primary sources of vaccine hesitancy by rapidly targeting and neutralizing misinformation.

NYPD Cops Leave Force in Alarming Rate — Over 2,500 Turned in Badges So Far in 2023
New York’s Finest continue to bolt from the job at an alarming rate, according to new data obtained by The Post — and some cops worry the exodus will only get worse because the city plans to cancel the next five Police Academy classes, shrinking the nation’s largest police force to the smallest its been in decades.
A total of 2,516 NYPD cops have left so far this year, the fourth highest number in the past decade and 43% more than the 1,750 who hightailed it in 2018, before the pandemic and crime spikes hit the city, NYPD pension data show.
The number of cops quitting before they reach the 20 years required to receive their full pensions also skyrocketed from 509 in 2020 to 1,040 so far this year — an alarming 104% increase, the data show.

Palestinian Student Shooting Suspect Pleads Not Guilty as Mom Reveals His Mental Health Struggles
A 48-year-old man pleaded not guilty to attempted murder in the shooting of three Palestinian college students in Burlington, Vermont, on Saturday night — as the alleged gunman’s mother revealed he had previously struggled with depression.
Jason Eaton, 48, was taken into custody Sunday afternoon after he was identified as a suspect. He pleaded not guilty to three counts of attempted murder in the second degree on Monday and is being held without bail.
Eaton, who lives in an apartment building near where the triple shooting happened, had been in “such a good mood” during Thanksgiving festivities with his family just days before, his mother told the Daily Beast.

San Francisco’s Rampant Drugs, Homelessness Shock New Resident: ‘This is a Disgrace’

You’ve got the tents and camps while you’ve got a playground with children playing right nearby, and this is blocks away from the mayor’s office. It’s just unbelievable to me that a city and country with such immense wealth can have such blatant poverty and suffering.”

Soros Group Cut $250,000 Check to Anti-Israel Charity Accused of Hamas Terror Ties
An anti-Israel group that has been accused of funding Hamas and other Palestinian terror factions received a boost from the philanthropy of Democratic megadonor George Soros before helping to lead protests across the United States against the Jewish state.
The Soros-backed Foundation to Promote Open Society, a major liberal grantmaker in the billionaire’s Open Society Foundations empire, steered $250,000 in 2022 to Education for Just Peace in the Middle East, a charity that has reportedly fiscally sponsored the Palestinian Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions National Committee, according to newly released grant records. That same charity, which is also known as the U.S. Campaign for Palestinian Rights, is one of several pro-ceasefire rally organizers sympathizing with Hamas, whose Oct. 7 attack against Israel has since killed over 1,200 people.

The Dead Al Qaeda Hippie Who Went Viral on TikTok
by Daniel Greenfield
Eight years after he was taken out by a drone strike in Waziristan, Adam Gadahn went viral on TikTok. Had the former Al Qaeda terrorist been alive to see TikTok lefties praising his, “Letter to America”, written in Osama bin Laden’s name, he would have been absolutely thrilled.
Raised by California hippies, Adam Gadahn’s message clicked with TikTok teens because he used to be one of them. After experimenting with heavy metal to rebel against his dad’s terrible folk music (“So tell us what the sign will be/Of the end of the age we know/War and famine everywhere/There’s no place left to go” he went for the ultimate in death metal.
We love nothing more than “slitting the throats of the infidels” he bragged in his videos in a fake Arabic accent right out of ‘Team America World Police’. “You and your people will, Allah willing, experience things, which will make you forget all about the horrors of September 11.”
Al Qaeda embraced the previously useless hipster because he promised to teach them how to reach Americans. But the ‘Azzam the American’ experiment never took off. Even after he stopped wearing a burka-like disguise over his square wire rimmed glasses, and wound a tablecloth around his head instead, he never stopped looking like a dork in a costume.
Adam never belonged in Pakistan, he belonged in ‘Fast Times at Ridgemont High’ or ‘Napoleon Dynamite’: his blank thousand yard stare had been perfected by getting high, not in Koran study…

Former UK Principal, Investigated Over COVID Social Media Posts, Takes His Employer to Tribunal
Old sins, as they say, cast long shadows — and even though the pandemic was abandoned a year or so ago, the way it was handled, and the impact it has had and still has on people’s lives continues to haunt the authorities in those countries that are considered to be democratic.

Announcing the proceedings that are to unfold before the Employment Tribunal, Fairclough explains that his opposition to lockdowns, vaccinating children and forcing them to wear masks — and at the time, he stood alone among his 20,000+ headmaster peers in the UK — caused him countless problems.
Because of his social media posts, Fairclough was even investigated by counter-terrorism agencies. And his employer launched numerous probes.

PARIS (AP) — Six teenagers go on trial Monday in Paris for their alleged roles in the beheading of a teacher who showed caricatures of the prophet of Islam to his class, a killing that led authorities to reaffirm France’s cherished rights of expression and secularism.
Samuel Paty, a history and geography teacher, was killed on Oct. 16, 2020, near his school in a northwest Paris suburb by an 18-year-old of Chechen origin who had become radicalized. The attacker was in turn shot dead by police.
Paty’s name was disclosed on social media after a class debate on free expression during which he showed caricatures published by the satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo, which triggered a newsroom massacre by extremists in January 2015.

However, the Holy See’s efforts were not appreciated by Italy’s Jewish community.
The Italian rabbis expressed their indignation that the pope had given the same attention to the families of innocent people held captive by the terrorist organization and to Palestinian prisoners held in Israel for serious terrorist crimes.

Netherlands: Wilders Coalition Negotiator Resigns Before Talks Start

Van Strien resigned on what would be his first day following two NRC Handelsblad reports that revealed that a former employer had accused him of fraud.
While van Strien denied the allegations, he chose resignation so that any perceived lack of integrity would not risk the success of the coalition talks.

Political scientist Professor Antoni Dudek forecasts a tumultuous relationship with Polish President Andrzej Duda, as the Civic Platform (PO) continues its firm opposition stance.
In an interview with DoRzeczy.pl, Professor Antoni Dudek discussed the post-election landscape of Polish politics, particularly the strong anti-PiS rhetoric of the former Polish opposition and the lack of self-reflection within the United Right camp.
On the topic of Civic Platform’s continuous strong anti-PiS attacks, including their promise to take the head of the National Bank of Poland to court and to start inquiry committees in the parliament, the academic observed that the party is not likely to change its course.

Swiss startup Proton, known for its dedication to user privacy, has recently expanded its encrypted cloud storage service, Proton Drive, by releasing a macOS app. This launch signifies the app’s readiness for Mac users to enjoy privacy in all their cloud storage needs and ditch Big Tech.
Contrasting sharply with Google Drive, OneDrive and iCloud, Proton Drive embeds end-to-end encryption in all aspects of data — including metadata — stored in its cloud service. This staunch privacy-centric feature ensures that not a single entity, Proton included, has access to the saved files. Besides, Proton Drive’s capability to bring files into sync between the Mac and the cloud, offer offline file access, and create additional room in local drives provides a robust and flexible solution for cloud storage needs.

Supernova Explosion Blew Giant Hole in Earth’s Ozone Layer — Scientists Just Learned
The telescope captured evidence of this devastating cosmic event on October 9 of the previous year
Scientists have unveiled that a distant supernova explosion, situated billions of light years away, possessed such staggering power that it “temporarily destroyed” a portion of Earth’s ozone layer in 2022.
The telescope captured evidence of this cosmic event on October 9 of the previous year, revealing a jet of high-energy photons moving towards Earth, indicative of a supernova explosion 1.9 billion light years distant. Described as a gamma-ray burst (GRB), astronomers dubbed it the “brightest of all time (BOAT).”
In the latest revelation, researchers have determined that this burst, lasting almost 7 minutes, scorched one side of Earth’s ozone layer. The burst caused a measurable alteration in the quantity of ionized particles in the Earth’s upper atmosphere, including ozone molecules that absorb harmful solar radiation, as reported by the New York Times (NYT).
Laura Hayes, a solar physicist from the European Space Agency (ESA), emphasised the widespread impact of the event, stating, “It was such a massive event, it affected all levels of the atmosphere.”
Pietro Ubertini, an astronomer at the National Institute of Astrophysics in Rome involved in the discovery, explained, “The ozone was partially depleted — was destroyed temporarily.”
The observable effect of the explosion lasted only minutes before the ozone layer rapidly repaired itself, leading Ubertini to deem it “nothing serious.” However, he cautioned that if a supernova were closer, it could potentially be catastrophic.

UK: Surrey Banks Glued Shut by Extinction Rebellion Climate Activists
Almost 50 Barclays banks are reported to have been “glued shut” by climate activists overnight and were discovered on Monday morning (November 27). This included two on Surrey — Guildford and Farnham. This is according to Extinction Rebellion (XR) whose members are said to have taken part in the action along with Money Rebellion “and other allied groups”.
XR warned the move is “part of a significant new wave of property-focussed climate action”. and called for customers to switch their accounts to pressure Barclays to “stop mega-funding fossil fuel projects”. Barclays’ Guildford branch remained shut for an extra two and a half hours until midday due to the protest.
Activists superglued locks overnight and are thought to have broken keys or objects in the mechanism first, according to reports in Guildford. An XR activist claimed: “We’re responding to public attitudes and targeting the perpetrators of climate breakdown, not ordinary people and we apologise for any inconvenience caused to staff and customers.”

Watch: British High Court Officer Tries to Break Into Home to Collect on Unpaid TV License Fees
For many years the BBC has denied that they are a government funded or subsidized organization.
They base this claim on a dishonest technicality — The platform argues that it is purely supported by public dollars, as if it is the same as PBS in America. What it doesn’t mention is that the government helps to strong-arm the public into paying that money to the BBC through enforced TV licensing.
And, if citizens are caught using a TV for the consumption of a list of taxable content sources without paying the fees, they can be fined or even jailed if they refuse to pay those fines.
The cost of a TV license in the UK is £159 per year. BBC outsources their sales process to a third-party company called Capita, who operate under the TV Licensing brand name. Capita’s salesmen rebrand themselves as “Enforcement Officers” or “TV License Inspectors”. This creates a false impression of legal authority, used to coerce victims into cooperating. BBC send salesmen to visit unlicensed addresses from their database. These salesmen receive a commission not only for every TV license they sell, but also every successful prosecution they obtain. They therefore attempt to collect evidence of unlicensed TV viewing during their visits. UK police are brought in to oversee the inspections carried out by Capita if there is resistance.
As insane as this probably sounds to most people in other countries, it gets even worse. If authorities believe you are watching BBC related content without a license, they can visit your home to collect on fines, and with a warrant, this includes breaking and entering to search your property.

WEF Bureaucrat Calls for Military to Vaccinate Public: ‘No Science’
A powerful European Union (EU) bureaucrat has called on governments around the world to stop trying to explain “the science” to their citizens and start using the military to vaccinate the public instead.
The EU’s European Research Council President Maria Leptin, a World Economic Forum (WEF) agenda contributor, argues that trying to explain to citizens why they should get vaccinated was a failure during the Covid pandemic.
During a WEF panel discussion, Leptin declared that governments should stop trying to convince the public to take the vaccines and just call in the military and “religious establishment.”

Billionaire Elon Musk declared that those “intent on murder must be neutralized” as the mogul accompanied Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on a tour of a kibbutz ravaged by Hamas’ terrorists amid claims the X owner is antisemitic.
Musk, 52, wore a bulletproof vest that looked like a bib on his 6-foot-2 frame as he walked alongside Netanyahu and a slew of military officials in Kfar Aza, where dozens of Israelis were killed and many others kidnapped on Oct. 7.
“It was jarring to see the scene of the massacre,” Musk said during a 20-minute conversation with Netanyahu that was livestreamed on the social media platform formerly known as Twitter.

Israel-Hamas Truce in Gaza Extended by Two Days, Says Mediator Qatar
Hamas official tells Al Jazeera the group hopes to extend the truce even further and put an end to the Israel-Hamas war.
A humanitarian pause in fighting between Israel and Hamas will extend by two days, mediator Qatar and Hamas have said, hours before an initial four-day truce in Gaza was set to expire.
“The State of Qatar announces that, as part of the ongoing mediation, an agreement has been reached to extend the humanitarian truce for an additional two days in the Gaza Strip,” Qatar’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Majed Al-Ansari said on X, formerly Twitter, on Monday.
Qatar, the United States and Egypt have engaged in intense negotiations to establish and prolong the truce in Gaza, which mediators had said was designed to be broadened and expanded.
Over the course of the initial truce, a total 50 civilian hostages, all women and children, were expected to be freed by Hamas.
In exchange, 150 Palestinian prisoners held by Israel were to be released and more humanitarian aid allowed into Gaza.

Israel-Hamas Truce to be Extended for Two More Days, Officials Say
Israel and Hamas have agreed to extend their temporary truce for two more days, officials said Monday — hours before the current peace pause was set to expire.
Qatari and Egyptian negotiators, who have been leading the peace talks between Israel and Hamas, said they have secured a deal to prolong the cease-fire in Gaza until Wednesday.
Hamas noted that the extension will follow the rules previously laid out in the initial four-day deal, meaning the terrorist will release at least 20 more hostages in exchange for the additional two days of peace.

A self-described journalist was branded a “f***ing lunatic” for insinuating that a hostage freed from Hamas over the weekend was expressing her “appreciation and thanks” to the terrorists as she was handed over to the Red Cross.
Maree Campbell, whose bio on X describes her as an “International Relations Analyst” and journalist, shared a screenshot of Mia Regev, 21, claiming that her facial expression seemed to express her thankfulness for how well she was treated.
“I’m not a facial expression expert, but judging by the look in her eyes and the expression on her face, I’d say this is a look of appreciation and thanks,” Campbell posted Sunday.
“Might it be that she is saying thanks for being treated unexpectedly well whilst in captivity.”
The post was widely condemned online, and a community note was added — saying that Regev was shot and her brother is believed to be either dead or still in captivity.

Hundreds of Thousands Left Without Power as Strong Storm Pounds Ukraine, Russia, Southeast Europe
Blizzards, snowfall, and high winds have wreaked havoc over the past two days in eastern and southeastern Europe, leaving several dead and hundreds of thousands of people without electricity to heat their homes.
A powerful cyclone that swept in from the Black Sea brought snowfall as far north as Moscow in what the Hydrometeorological Center of Russia called “one of the strongest storms to ever hit at the end of November.”
Ukraine, Moldova, Bulgaria, and Romania were among the countries hardest hit by the storms, which left almost half a million people without power on the Russian-annexed Crimean Peninsula.
The number of deaths caused by the storm in the Krasnodar region of Russia and Russian-annexed Crimea increased to four, RIA Novosti reported on November 27.

Official: Johnson Forced Kyiv to Refuse Russian Peace Deal
Russia was ready to end the war and withdraw its troops in exchange for Ukrainian neutrality just a few months after the invasion began and was refused partly because of ex-British PM Boris Johnson, who pressured Kyiv into continuing the fight, David Arahamiya, the leader of Ukraine’s ruling party confirmed in a recent interview, published on Friday, November 24th.
The lawmaker is not only leading the parliamentary faction of Zelensky’s Servant of the People party but was also appointed as the head of the Ukrainian delegation during the initial, tentative peace talks in March and April, hosted by Turkey.
Russia’s ultimate goal was to press Ukraine into neutrality, Arahamiya explained, adding that all other requests (like the elusive ‘de-nazification’) were essentially empty cosmetics, and neutrality would have been enough for Russia to agree to withdraw beyond the February 24th frontlines.

Explosion in Kabul: Freedom Front Claims Responsibility for Attack on Taliban in Airport Road
In the wake of reports detailing an explosion in Kabul, the Freedom Front of Afghanistan has stepped forward, asserting responsibility for the incident.
On the evening of Monday, November 27, the Freedom Front announced in a newsletter that it orchestrated an attack on the Taliban along the Kabul Airport Road in the ninth security district of Kabul. The assault resulted in the death of two Taliban fighters and the injury of two others.
However, the specific nature of the explosion has not been disclosed by the Freedom Front.
The Taliban, in response, have not confirmed the casualties as claimed by the Freedom Front.
Over the past three days, the Freedom Front has claimed responsibility for at least six attacks on the Taliban, spanning the provinces of Parwan, Kapisa, Kabul, and Laghman.
Notably, last night, the Taliban acknowledged only one of the attacks by the Freedom Front on their positions. They reported that unidentified individuals caused a non-lethal incident by throwing a hand grenade into a water reservoir belonging to their forces.

Last year, 47,923 Germans were victims of violent immigrants, according to statistics from the German federal government, with one top police union official describing the data as “frightening.”
This data comes directly from the Federal Criminal Police Office’s (BKA) situation report on serious crimes committed by foreigners who came to the country as refugees and asylum seekers. The troubling figures from the BKA show an 18 percent increase from the previous year. Although foreigners make up a far smaller share of the overall population, around 13 percent, they are committing a tremendous amount of crime against German citizens.
On the other side, 12,061 foreigners were victims of a suspect with German citizenship.

Hungarian Intelligence Services Warn Germany About Taliban Threat Among Migrant Arrivals
A report from Hungarian intelligence agencies sent to allied agencies warned Germany of the risk that people smuggling networks along the Balkan route are controlled by the Taliban, the Islamist terrorist organization that has ruled Afghanistan since the U.S. withdrawal, according to exclusive information published by German newspaper Welt am Sonntag.
In the document, Hungarian intelligence agencies informed Germany that since the outbreak of the war between Israel and Hamas, “there is an increased risk of terrorism, which is closely linked to migratory pressure,” as illegal immigration along the Balkan migration route can be used by terrorist networks. Smuggling gangs have also been identified which, according to the Hungarian agencies, are “under the direct control of the Taliban intelligence service,” as their leaders are relatives of members of the Taliban government and of the Taliban-linked Haqqani militia network.

New York City Enacts Law Barring Discrimination Based on Weight
New York City just enacted a law banning discrimination against height or weight. Mayor Eric Adams, who just slashed the city’s budget by 5 percent across the board, signed the bill in the spring. This means that in addition to other protected characteristics like age, gender, race, or religion, a person’s weight and height will also be considered protected identifiers under the law.
The law will bring fat discrimination under the jurisdiction of New York’s Commission on Human Rights. This is the body that heads up discrimination issues for other identifiers and characteristics, such as LGBTQ, race, etc. Commissioner Annabel Palma said, at the time the bill was signed, that “Most forms of appearance-based discrimination have persisted unchecked.”
