To be expected, the feminists are not excited about Trump’s return to the White House. So they’ve devised a plan to exact their revenge: They’re going to adopt draconian celibacy while he’s in office.

Many of them are taking the sex strike a step further by intentionally making themselves look unattractive by shaving their heads.

So liberal women self-punishing and vowing to not procreate? Now that’s what the “Normal World” cast calls “SUCCESS!”

Dave Landau plays a montage of different videos that have gone viral on social media of women joining the “4B” movement. On camera, they shave their heads and pledge to avoid men altogether as retribution for Kamala Harris not winning the presidency and enshrining abortion in the Constitution.

To be fair, however, these women didn’t invent the 4B movement. In fact, the movement started roughly a decade ago in South Korea when a group of feminists devised a plan to fight the patriarchy by living by a set of 4 “no’s” — no sex with men, no procreation, no marriage, and no dating men. However, the movement was part of the backlash of the “spycam” epidemic, in which many South Korean women were secretly being filmed during sex. Violence against women is also remarkably high in the country.

American women apparently thought Trump’s victory was equivalent to the plight of South Korean women, so they brought the 4B movement here. In some ways, they’re taking the already extreme lifestyle to even greater heights with some women encouraging others to divorce their husbands.

However, the majority of them are just vowing to be unattractive and celibate because if they get pregnant, then they will be unable to get an abortion due Trump’s nationwide abortion ban.

Except that’s not happening and abortion access will remain the exact same it’s been since the overturning of Roe v. Wade pushed the issue back to the states.

“You can go to one of the 48 states that still allows abortion,” laughs Dave, pointing out the idiocy of the movement.

Cry me a river

I’m done with liberal tears. I don’t care.

Do you enjoy finding out your ex-girlfriend got dumped after you’ve been married for five years? No. You couldn’t care less. I knew they’d be crying, and I care as much about their belief system today as I did before Trump won.

The only remotely thing interesting about their meltdowns is how they’ve gone from, “Muh … RACIST” to “Muh … UNEDUCATED!” I actually prefer the latter allegation because it’s more true.

I don’t “wish them nothing but the best.” I don’t wish them anything. They blew it a long time ago, and we’ve moved on.

For the next four years, we will be building a wall, deporting illegal aliens, privatizing everything, trashing CRT, dismantling affirmative action, de-wokeifying education, embracing meritocracy, and basically allowing America to reach its full potential without Marxist bureaucracy in the way.

The crybabies can join us or move to Europe or go on a sex strike, we don’t care. Bye-bye! Home to Mommy.

Time to build

Print Collector/Getty Images

A national mandate has been delivered by the American people to Donald Trump and all who would serve at his pleasure: a mandate to secure our borders, revive our economy, and bring peace to our empire — to change the trajectory of our nation.

The American revival has begun. This is our century. We will not surrender to despair and malaise, nor consign ourselves and our civilization to decline and collapse.

Beyond this political victory, achieving this grander civilizational goal will require sober thinking and serious work. Politics and civic duty will be required, as will enterprise and economics, entertainment and the arts, technology and exploration.

The American people and their engines of war and peace — private and public, secular and religious, urban and rural — must set their minds and hands to the work needed for this revival of their civilization. America has been drowning in mere inches of water. All we must do is stand up.

That disorienting feeling you are feeling is not vertigo.

It’s the Overton window, which just made the most dramatic shift to the right in decades.

The win is so massive. Their loss is so total.

The worst people in America are vanquished. Evil dynasties fell. All Trump’s enemies are in exile, humiliated. GOD IS GOOD.

On November 5, 2024, America fought and won a second war against European governance. We rejected unelected bureaucracy. We rejected state-enforced decline, crushing and inhuman rule by faceless overlords, socialism, communism, European-style feudalist wars over territory, and globalist rot.

Fear factor

David Dee Delgado

A decade as pariahs. Reverse McCarthyism.

Think of how many of us in blue cities put up with the petty harassment, the constant, low-grade fear they’d come after our livelihoods or our families. And come they did.

A Tuesday evening in November put an end to all that. Suddenly, we’re citizens again. MAGA hats in Manhattan and Beverly Hills. Has any other piece of clothing so enraged a regime?

For ten years our friends, families, and employers pretended that voting for an extremely popular, mainstream politician and his frankly milquetoast policy proposals was not wrong, not misguided, but deeply, historically evil.

I can’t think of anything less American than that. Trump will inevitably disappoint, as does every president once faced with the task of actually governing. It remains to be seen whether he will make good on his promises.

But we must remember him for what he was — a hammer that punched through the door of an absolutely rotten elite that simply had to go. And, ultimately, a leader who freed us from an era of fear.

Dictatorship at the door, democracy on the floor

Sonia Moskovitz/Getty Images

She would nod while delivering her response to a question like a teacher trying to get buy-in from a truculent fourth grader.

There was a fair amount of “Nnkay?” — eventually fodder for impersonators on TikTok.

But even very simple, general, softball questions got engulfed in “Americans have hopes, and dreams, and aspirations” — as if, yep, those three things were not the exact same thing.

What was clear to the world was that this woman had not done the homework. If you look at video of her in Europe right as the invasion of Ukraine happened, a reporter asks her a fairly specific and detailed but not at all hostile question, and she makes a comical deer-in-the-headlights face and points at a diplomat from Iceland, as if to say, “He knows the answer!”

In brief, the reason the coconut lost was not “misogynoir,” not gender war, not “a battle for the future of our multiracial democracy.”

It was because she appeared incapable of the gig and the orange man seemed capable. You might not like his solutions, but he knows what he wants to do and how he’s going to do it.

Legacy media was shocked and appalled that large percentages of “Latinx” people wanted to make money and wanted things to run properly. For this disloyalty, you had the likes of Joy Reid and Al Sharpton saying that the “Latinx” were more racist (read: anti-black) than whites were. So much for thick-and-thin loyalty!

People want (yes, go for it, Mussolini meme-makers!) the trains to run on time. They want crime to be punished and for the border to be enforced.

It cannot be overemphasized what an existential shock to the system it is that Trump suggested that the United States of America is not just some block of real estate that anyone on earth can hang out in but rather an exclusive club — kind of like Roy Cohn’s favorite hangout, Studio 54 — where to gain admittance you have to show some value.

What a concept! It makes even the Ella Emhoffs of the world worry that someday they might not be on the list. This to me is an admirable form of discipline for the hoi polloi.

The second-biggest takeaway from this election is that the entire legacy media sang the same note together.

It’s brat summer, wear Charli XCX putrid green, it’s coconut-tree meme time, it’s the summer of vibes, she didn’t do so badly against Trump, Walz didn’t do so badly against Vance, her “60 Minutes” bobbles didn’t matter, she’s gonna win it in a landslide, it’s gonna be a squeaker but she’s gonna make it after all, she’s gonna save democracy …

… and no real Americans out there in the real world bought it.

Puerto Ricans went up for Trump after the garbage gag. No one will trust the mainstream media in the same way ever again.

The biggest takeaway: We have a golden age coming at us. Not just in terms of laws passed but where the culture is going. It feels weird to have hope on a large scale!

Uncle Donald

Davidoff Studios/Getty Images

I don’t think it’s very feminine to have political thoughts — it’s kind of a dirty topic that’s best left to the men. But I used to be very involved before I married my husband. I would mostly help my dad, John Lamb, with his campaigns.

It’s hard to have feelings about Trump, in the way that it’s hard to know what to think about your eccentric uncle. When I spent six months in Germany in 2019 as an au pair, the children I looked after asked me, “How can you stand to have him for your president?”

I felt a righteous indignation to defend his honor — as if he were my uncle. A little unsavory, perhaps, but still family.

I also felt pride — not the brazen sense of superiority Americans stereotypically display in Europe, but a simple, sincere gratitude for my country. I decided then to like Trump, to the point that I became more active on Twitter so I could see his tweets.

I liked that he didn’t seem calculating, that he just said things as he saw them. Sometimes even I was offended by what he said, but I could respect his authenticity. When he didn’t make it the second time around, I regretted that I hadn’t liked him a little more. America felt less fun those next four years.

This election, I ignored the news as much as I could, although my husband and I did watch both debates. I remember thinking how Trump seemed changed — more poised. I had a feeling he might actually be able to win this time, especially when Kamala took over the race. Nobody wants a prosecutor for a president.

Is a Trump presidency truly God’s will? It’s still too early to know, in my opinion. Part of me wonders if there might be more assassination attempts, or if the left has accepted this victory to lull us into complacency. I really don’t know — all I’m certain of is that these next four years show promise to be interesting and fun.

Go fast and go forward

Heritage Images/Getty Images

We are on the good timeline now.

The triumph of Trumpism is complete. He has put away the old GOP and defeated both the Clinton and Obama factions of the Democratic party. Trump has built a coalition of core Americans and Silicon Valley power brokers that is unique to modern history. Young people, tired and put off by the constant moral hectoring of the left, have also come on board. It is now cool to support Trump. It is high-status to support Trump.

In this new environment, anything is possible.

American dynamism has been tamped down for decades by bureaucratic dead weight and the enervating spirit of the longhouse. No more. The conditions are ripe for unprecedented growth and innovation. We are going to the stars, literally. And a wide-scale cultural renewal is imminent.

People want beauty, they want optimism, they want adventure, and they want heroism. We are going to deliver them the symbols and narratives that instantiate this latent yearning. We must not lose sight of this opportunity. We must not get bogged down in petty squabbles and factional disputes. We must go fast and go forward.

Exit the Twilight Zone

CBS Photo Archive/Getty Images

There have been times over the past four years when I have felt like I’m living in the Twilight Zone.

We have been gaslit over and over by the Biden administration and the media regarding the strength of the economy and all of their accomplishments.

I would hear this while pulling my hair out to keep my restaurant going amid skyrocketing costs and frequent supply shortages — as our family’s savings evaporated.

I would hear this while my wife and I did everything we could to support our four children, while also having to protect them from relentless ideological nonsense. And while being called bigots for wanting our daughter to play in sports with just biological women.

All of this against a backdrop of lies suggesting this is simply what “democracy” is.

But the people have spoken, and it turns out that many of us have seen through the lies. We want to leave this twisted, far-left fantasy world and get back to reality.

It’s comforting to watch the left’s once semi-secret agenda get exposed once and for all — just before the new administration rips it up.

I feel confident we will see the cost of goods come down as a result of less inflationary spending, smaller government, regulations being rolled back, and American food producers being given priority within the supply chain. I know it will be easier to get my kids healthy food without having to spend a mortgage payment. There’s a lot of work to be done, but winning the election was the most important first step.

Folie à Duh

Ollie Millington/Getty Images

To all the members of the intellectual dark web who could not bring themselves to endorse Trump, hereby known as the ineffectual dork web:

Listen, you guys had a good run. Everyone had high hopes that your breakaway sect of intelligentsia would recognize that your little pet anti-woke topics weren’t just isolated problems but endemic to the entire rotting corpse of the left.

We thought you guys would realize that the issues you were stumbling upon had actually been clocked years before by the ordinary, uneducated Americans despised by the elites and that this might engender some humility.

Congrats for realizing trans people are mostly perverts and DEI is wildly unpopular. It doesn’t take a great genius to realize castrating children and villainizing white people is wrong. In fact, these are basic moral intuitions that the intellectual class somehow deluded themselves into suppressing, before tepidly rolling back their cultural revolution while expecting great acclamation for such efforts.

We are sick of gentility and nuance, because we rightly perceive it as another form of intellectual skullduggery. That’s different from genuine analysis and argument, which have tremendous energy and dynamism. Your role, whether you realize it or not, has been to sterilize these insights at every turn, stripping them of their charisma and repackaging them into ineffectual and glib “discourse.”

For whom? You have irreparably alienated yourself from the left and will never be welcomed back there again. The left’s fundamental tenet is not freedom or equality or the exchange of ideas, but eradicating all opposition on its ineluctable, grand march toward progress.

Understandable mistake, but you only get to make it once.

You’re done. Nobody is going to take away your little Substacks or your sparsely populated conferences or your anti-woke nonprofits, but they’re going be irrelevant.

Nobody on the right will engage with you again. These are our issues now, and any useful ideas we can extract from your self-serving, butt-covering pontification will be repurposed by those of us who actually want to do something about these problems.

Win or die

Universal History Archive/Getty Images

Trump has won. Although this incredible victory is cause for celebration, I believe the risk of disaster has never been higher than it is right now.

As one Russian official said of attempts by the czar to modernize Imperial Russia shortly before the revolution: “The most dangerous thing you can do to a bad system is try to reform it.”

For the American right, this is the eye of the storm. It’s only going to get crazier from here, and only organization and discipline will carry us through the challenges ahead. We could go into a new golden age and reach higher than anyone else has done before, or we could collapse into despair and passivity in just a few years.

It really is up to us. We get to choose whether we win or die. That’s the only choice.

Vibe shifting

Barbara Freeman/Getty Images

There’s been a “vibe shift.”

Our decade of shameless anti-Americanism is over. The climate in which former New York governor Andrew Cuomo said “America was never that great” is finished.

Being an American patriot is “in” again. Crank up the rock ‘n’ roll. Have a cigarette. From here on out, every day is the Fourth of July. Stand tall like an American should — because you don’t have to walk on eggshells any more.

I’ve spent more than a decade traveling this country and I now spend most of my time writing and thinking about America and celebrating this great country. As we forge into the next few years, I’m up for the task of dedicating all of my energy toward provoking the greatest resurgence in national spirit, romance, and mythos this country has ever seen. And I know I’m not alone on that score.

What the liberals get wrong about today’s paradigm shift is that we’re not about “American History X”-style curb-stomping rage and goose-stepping crap.

This is about the rhythm of the Rolling Stones, the Mississippi Delta blues, the little barbeque shacks and honky-tonks on the side of the highways. It’s about the view from the top of Mount Washington and the stars from the beaches on Lake Superior. It’s about old colonial-era homes on the Mohawk and ice cream socials at the town hall.

If there’s any “populist rage” here, it’s only a rage at the fact that a class of sleek, self-interested, globe-trotting elites ever sought to bleed the color from this nation. They tried to take away the fun, the vigor, the head-high pride that so many of us feel for this land. They tried to make us into a giant “human resources pool” instead of the big, weird, wild nation we always were.

Sure, there’ll be policy changes. Some of them will be good; others might not be. That doesn’t matter. What matters is that the dark days are over. We’re done flying the flag at half-mast.

Whose freedom?

Kirn Vintage Stock/Getty Images

Abortion doesn’t save women. It doesn’t stop or fix rape. It doesn’t end poverty. It doesn’t stop domestic violence.

It doesn’t do anything except undo a woman’s healthy biology, kill her child, and send her right back to whatever circumstances she came from.

This is our freedom? This is our equality?

I am legitimately angry on behalf of all the people who think the election results mean they have no agency or control over their own bodies, lives, or futures.

These people are in despair because they’ve been lied to. They’ve been told that women need to go to war with their bodies to be free, that limits on abortion limit access to lifesaving care, that surgical and hormonal intervention is the way to “treat” gender dysphoria, that restricting abortion or “gender-affirming” care leads to suicidal ideation.

These lies demand that you, an individual, rely upon your government to be safe, free, and successful.

You are so much stronger and more capable than you have been told. You have so many more options and paths to a joyful life than you have been led to believe.

—Robin Atkins, licensed mental health counselor and founder of Charis et Veritas

Dad energy

Gary Leonard/Getty Images

I never thought this would happen. I’ve been living in an insane world that put into practice the worst kind of child abuse anyone could imagine in a perverted nightmare.

People acted like it was normal. They acted like it was loving. And applauded the permanent destruction of the health and wholeness of children around the country.

Mothers, evil, wicked mothers, got spots on breakfast television and heart emojis from America for practicing Munchausen by proxy on their children. Mostly their sons.

Had I been born a little later, I could have been one of them. I was a sweet, sensitive, fey boy who thought God had cursed him with a freakish defect, one that would forever set him apart. Had someone promised to ease my pain with this warped “health care,” I would have embraced it.

And I would have woken up years later even more broken than I am.

Donald Trump and his team, for the first time in our history, have called this what it is and have said no more in plain terms. “Mutilation.” “Abuse.”

A matriarchal, smothering mother culture has held America hostage for too long. We need a father energy now.

To any liberal reading this: I used to “hate” Trump every bit as much as you do. My hope for you, man or woman, is that you understand how blatantly you’ve been lied to about Trump.

And I hope you consider the psychological manipulation that has given these lies such power: the lingering father wounds you haven’t wanted to attend to, because it was easier to rage against the big imaginary “fascist” than to face the demons of your childhood

This was me. And if you recognize yourself in it, I want you to know that you don’t have to pretend any more. Believe me, it’s better on the other side.

Man the lifeboats

Universal History Archive/Getty Images

The Trump Restoration will look less like “righting the ship” and more like launching the lifeboats.

Giving Americans the freedom to exit failing financial, political, educational, and corporate systems is the right thing to do, but it will accelerate their failure of those systems.

After this week, we are much shorter on U.S. government and much longer on America.

“I don’t know if we know what’s exactly going to work really well yet, but some things are really promising,” Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced on the company’s latest earnings call. “I have high confidence that over the next several years, this will be one of the important trends and one of the important applications.”

Yes, he’s talking about content churned out by computers. Yes, the feedback is already pretty bad.

And as legacy media organizations — like establishment institutions across the board — continue to lose trust and loyalty, millions will default to AI content without even actively choosing against the dwindling supply of human journalists trying to keep them in line.

“I think we’re going to add a whole new category of content which is AI-generated or AI-summarized content, or existing content pulled together by AI in some way,” he insisted. “And I think that that’s gonna be very exciting for Facebook and Instagram and maybe Threads, or other kinds of feed experiences over time.”

Very exciting — but for whom? The kind of outlets likely to blame Zuck for Trump didn’t skip a beat. “The AI Slop Will Continue Until Morale Improves,” reported 404 Media. “Mark Zuckerberg Pledges to Fill Facebook With Even More AI Slop,” Futurism blared. One Bloomberg columnist went with “Mark Zuckerberg Wants to Feed You More AI Slop.” You get the picture.

And if you’ve followed the disturbing trends of older Facebook users thinking the outlandish AI-made images they’re engaging with are real photographs, you might be inclined to agree.

But as is so often the case in cyberspace, all is not as it seems.

Start with Zuckerberg. The long-embattled tech titan may have spent most of the Biden years in the doghouse with conservatives bummed out by his willingness to drop big “Zuckerbucks” on the 2020 election.

But Zuck found himself in survival mode after Democrats resolved to punish him for Facebook’s friendly treatment of Trump in the run-up to 2016. In the blink of an eye, the Frances Haugen “whistleblower” op was concocted and deployed, the platform all but iced political news content, Zuck hard-pivoted into the metaverse, and, yes, the Zuckerbucks began to flow. And behind the scenes, Zuck rebuilt and bided his time.

Now, thanks to some canny PR, he’s rebranded as a libertarian and made the leap to the AI era. This, it’s apparent, is how Zuck reasons he’ll at last break free of the partisan net woven for him by a vindictive regime and its big-media collaborators.

After all, predictable slop of a different kind flooded the social media zone under the state-sponsored outlets that took over Twitter before Elon came along. It seems like the only content fire hose powerful enough to outblast the censor-sanitized media apparatus is cranked out by computers, not human beings typing away as if they may as well be computers themselves.

That seems to be Zuck’s wager, anyway. If millions still pine for the naive old days of social media when real friends hung out online, maybe the future of social media looks more like using AI content for reference and real life for socialization. At a time when people are starved for authorities they can trust, many will probably prefer AIs to human indoctrinators.

And as legacy media organizations — like establishment institutions across the board — continue to lose trust and loyalty, millions will default to AI content without even actively choosing against the dwindling supply of human journalists trying to keep them in line.

The probable downside is already plain enough — the same one Americans experienced for generations back when cable was king and the internet was something that squealed at you from a tabletop box plugged into your phone line. Four hundred channels and nothing on …

Ultimately, it won’t be easy to trust AI content unless you trust the people behind the AI. Right now, on one side of the politics of social media, you’ve got the left selling themselves as a borg or blob, a collective consciousness of enlightened elites. On the other, you’ve got a handful of famous tech lords selling themselves as can-do visionaries who might not have all the answers but at least can get us out of the current rut.

Those aren’t the choices you’d want when trying to select a source of spiritual wisdom, but as they stand at the close of 2024, it’s easy to see how the momentum of public sentiment could point away from the crew that’s ruled our headspace for the past four years — and toward the tech titans who aren’t trying to take down Trump.

Arrested illegal aliens from a sophisticated Chilean theft ring were set free last week because the charges against them aren’t bail eligible in New York state, WABC-TV reported.

The station said six men entered Florique Florists on Jericho Turnpike in Woodbury on Long Island just after 3 a.m. Nov. 7, cut through the roof, and then cut through a wall connected to Elegant Jewelers, Burglary Squad Detectives said.

‘We need a change in these laws. Give the judges back their discretion. Let us do our jobs.’

The group left without taking any merchandise, but Nassau County Police told WABC they used radio jammers to hide the alarm system.

“How dangerous is that?” Nassau County Police Dept. Commissioner Patrick Ryder asked, according to WABC. “If someone is calling for an emergency, or another cop is called for an emergency and his radio doesn’t work, because these thugs are inside trying to jam the radios so we don’t get the alarm?”

All of the illegal aliens were arrested the next day at a home in Huntington they were renting, WABC said, adding that Homeland Security flagged all of the men as potential threats.

Police said Immigration and Customs Enforcement was notified, and while “one defendant has been remanded,” the remaining five “have been released with no bail.”

Turns out authorities weren’t able to detain the five remaining suspects because their crimes were not bail eligible, WABC reported.

Police added that two of the suspects didn’t report for their electronic monitors — and the three who did report cut off their electronic monitors. The station said they cut them off in New Jersey.

All of the suspects are charged with burglary and criminal mischief, WABC said.

New York bail laws at center of controversy once again

Authorities on Long Island are calling for a change to New York’s bail laws in the wake of this incident, the station said.

Neither Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman nor his law-enforcement partners minced words about the situation, WABC reported.

“It’s a damn disgrace,” Blakeman said.

County District Attorney Ann Donnelly said she’s “sick of it. We need a change in these laws. Give the judges back their discretion. Let us do our jobs.”

President-elect Donald Trump might not be in the Oval Office yet, but he’s wasting no time getting ready to clean house at the Department of Justice.

“This is a grand slam by President Trump,” Mike Davis, president of the Article III Project, tells Liz Wheeler of “The Liz Wheeler Show” of Trump’s appointments so far.

“I’ve worked with Susie Wiles as a volunteer for Trump’s campaign,” Davis says. “Susie is a phenomenal pick for White House chief of staff. She understands her job is not to control Trump, it’s her job to control everything else around Trump, so Trump can be Trump, and he has a functioning campaign operation and a functioning White House.”

While it’s the common belief among leftists that Trump is “sexist,” his appointment of Wiles couldn’t prove them more wrong.

“It’s very clear that President Trump respects Susie, and he does very well with women. Trump had one of the first, I think, the first female executive in the construction industry back in the ’90s who worked for Trump for like 18 years,” Davis explains, adding, “This is the first female White House chief of staff.”

Davis is also pleased with Stephen Miller, who he calls a “fantastic pick for White House deputy chief of staff.”

“He’s been a loyalist to President Trump for a long time. He’s been the tip of the spear on immigration, he’s going to be fantastic in that role,” Davis says, adding that Tom Homan is also a great pick.

“He’ll work hand in glove with Susie and Stephen to make sure we close our border and deport these illegal immigrants, starting with the violent criminals first and then moving on to the rest,” he adds.

As for Davis himself, he plans to “strongly advocate for serious reforms at the Justice Department.”

“The Justice Department has been politicized and weaponized against President Trump,” he tells Wheeler. “His top aides like Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro who got sent to prison, his supporters on January 6 who were politically persecuted.”

“The Biden-Harris Justice Department has been weaponized to go after parents outraged by gender chaos in schools, in the resulting rapes in high school bathrooms, they’ve gone after Christians praying at abortion clinics, and including putting a 75-year-old Christian in prison for praying at an abortion clinic,” he continues.

“There has to be accountability for what happened, and that accountability has to come at the Justice Department,” he adds.

Have you ever thought paying with your credit card was too complicated or inconvenient? If this sounds like you, you’ll be happy to know that a new solution to this modern problem is now being tested. Just raise your palm and accept your biometric overlords.

According to a report from Reclaim the Net, Visa and Tencent have partnered to invent a new payment method recognition sytem. This method combines palm prints and what is reportedly called “vein recognition.” The report goes on to say: “This is touted as more reliable than facial recognition since that can reportedly be tampered with more easily.”

Is your data worth an extra few seconds of your day?

This new biometric technology is being rolled out and tested in Singapore, where participating businesses can “include palm scanners in their payment terminals, while this method is advertised for … convenience since it does not require the use of physical devices.” As this explanation demonstrates, customers would only need to verify their identity and card credentials on the first purchase when they opt in to this program.

Tencent and Visa’s original announcement for this plan was made on November 6, 2024, during the Singapore Fintech Festival. At the conference, Yang Wenhui, general manager at Tencent Financial Technology Asia Pacific, showcased the “innovation of Tencent Palm in both user experience and technology application, as well as its commitment to data security and privacy compliance.”

Adeline Kim, Visa country manager for Singapore and Brunei, described the program’s goals: “Our aim is to enhance the payment experience and ensure that our customers can enjoy seamless transactions with the highest level of security. Together with Tencent, we are excited to lead the way in transforming the future of payments.”

Reclaim the Net mentions that this program is part of a larger policy vision in Singapore called Smart Nation. Singapore has been developing this initiative since 2014, yet it recently unveiled Smart Nation 2.0: “The Smart Nation 2.0 strategies will be continually iterated and adjusted as digital developments evolve. We will adapt our approaches over time in close consultation with citizens and businesses, responding to technological advancements and emerging challenges.”

This innovative technology comes with its share of criticisms as well. As the report says, the tradeoff between the purported “convenience” of the palm recognition system comes at a steep price: “That may seem like a poor deal since clearly comprehensive biometric data is being surrendered in exchange for saving a few seconds by not having to whip out a card or a phone.”

There also appear to be plans to expand this technology into other aspects of citizens’ lives: “Tencent looks forward to collaborating with various businesses to promote its palm recognition technology in applications such as payment, access control, and transportation.”

The report also raises the issue of who handles the collected biometric data in this system: “Customers in Singapore may or may not be happy to learn that it’s the job of China’s Tencent (via the local subsidiary) [to handle the biometric data once it is collected]. Tencent is in charge of the palm recognition infrastructure.”

This palm recognition technology produced by Tencent and Visa is just one example of new attempts at collecting biometric data. While it is in the early stages of development, Singapore’s tendency toward further integration of technology into society should be a warning to us all around the world. The price of this convenience is very high, and it benefits corporations that do not have citizens’ best interests in mind. Is your data worth an extra few seconds of your day?

Our children are under attack like never before. From leftist indoctrination in schools and drag queens in libraries to obscene LGBTQ+ “family-friendly” parades and the relabeling of sexual predators as minor attracted persons, the agenda to sexualize and destroy our children is blatantly obvious.

And now we have another atrocity to add to the list: Mattel’s new line of “Wicked” Barbies based on the up-and-coming movie starring Ariana Grande feature a link to a porn website on the back of the boxes.

Mattel is claiming that it was “just a giant mistake,” says Allie Beth Stuckey skeptically.

“If they are targeting kids — little girls ages 4+ — I think it is of utmost importance to get the link correct on the back of the box,” she says.

Although Mattel has issued a statement calling the incident an “unfortunate error” and promising the company is “taking immediate action to remedy this,” it’s hard to believe that this wasn’t intentional.

“I cannot imagine something like this slipping through the cracks at a place like Mattel. You’ve got so many hands and so many eyes that a product like this has to go through,” says Allie, pointing out that this “misprint” has major consequences.

“It’s not just like it got sent to some unpurchased domain and it was just, you know, a letter off. … This was an entire word off, and you would think that there would be someone employed at Mattel or someone on the ‘Wicked’ production end of things that would have tested the URL,” she criticizes.

Currently, the products are “no longer available” or appear to be “out of stock” on vendors’ websites. Mattel has also advised that consumers who have already purchased the product “discard their packaging.”

Even still, many are not convinced that this was actually a misprint.

Libs of TikTok certainly isn’t. In a tweet posted last Sunday, the account expressed its skepticism.

Allie agrees and recalls the semi-recent Balenciaga scandal when the company created a line of bondage/BDSM teddy bear handbags. Some of the advertising included children. One ad also featured the documents for “a Supreme Court decision that involved child sex abuse material.”

Like Mattel, Balenciaga claimed it was “just a giant mistake.”

While she hopes she’s wrong, Allie thinks that there are people at these mega corporations who are “sick and twisted and nefarious.”

Syracuse football coach Fran Brown explained his strange ritual when he loses a game, which includes not showering or going to bed with his wife.

Brown’s team lost 37-31 to Boston College over the weekend. The coach hosted a press conference on Monday. It was at that press conference that a media member asked Brown exactly what preparation he does between a Saturday loss and a Monday press conference.

Brown replied that he immediately starts watching game footage multiple times before moving on to footage about his next opponent when his family is asleep. The coach then described his ritual of not bathing if he loses.

“Honestly, I’ve got like a ritual when we lose,” he began. “I didn’t even get into the shower until earlier this morning. I just be mad, brush my teeth. It’s like, ‘I don’t deserve soap. I don’t deserve to do all that.'”

‘I can’t sleep in the bed if we lose because I’m not going to be able to shower.’

Coach Brown explained that not only does his habit stem from the fact that he feels he let his players down, but also that when he loses he is just up all night bothering his wife.

“I’m just focused on trying to get back and try to make sure that our players mentally understand that I let them down. They didn’t do it,” Brown said. “I just wake up all night. Especially when we lose. I wake up like, damn, that really happened that way. … And then I just move on.”

The 42-year-old continued to reveal his procedure, stating that he also can’t sleep in his bed with his wife if Syracuse loses, likely because he stinks.

“There’s a process I follow all week, win, lose, or draw. Only thing is, my wife … I can’t sleep in the bed if we lose because I’m not going to be able to shower.”

“I just brush my teeth because I have to, so y’all don’t say my breath stinks,” he continued.

With a 6-3 record, Brown has had a limited number of non-showering weekends but said he is focused on Syracuse’s upcoming game against the University of California.

The coach said he has been thinking about the historic nature of the game, given that the two teams haven’t played each other since 1968.

However, Brown will continue his mantra of “winners get washed.”

“You gotta earn the right to certain things, so winners get washed. Loser, I just kind of wait a little bit,” he concluded.

Mike Johnson was unanimously nominated to serve for a second term as speaker of the House on Wednesday.

Amid rumors of defection within the House Republican conference, Johnson has managed to unify the GOP behind him for a second time, running and securing the nomination unopposed. The official vote will take place in January once the new Congress begins.

During the meeting, Trump told the Republicans that he ‘100%’ supports Johnson as speaker.

Although the House has not yet been called for either party, Republicans are projected to hold on to their majority. As of this writing, Republicans have secured 217 of the 218 seats needed to hold a majority while Democrats have won 207 seats.

While Republicans are set to retain control of the House, they will likely hold a narrow majority. As a result, many contentious or consequential votes are likely to be tight.

Leading up to the vote, President-elect Trump reaffirmed his support for Johnson during a closed-door meeting with House Republicans on Wednesday morning.

During the meeting, Trump told the Republicans that he “100%” supports Johnson as speaker.

“This is a tremendous guy,” Trump said. “I’m with him all the way.”

“Our strong [House GOP] majority is looking forward to advancing your agenda that puts the American people FIRST!” Johnson said, addressing Trump in a post on X following the meeting. “As you said, we will unify and get it done!”

Peanut — the internet sensation squirrel — was taken from his home in New York by state officials in what the pet’s owner has declared to be an act of government overreach. The beloved squirrel that took the internet by storm was then killed by government officials. Details are starting to leak as to what really happened during the shocking state raid and killing of a family’s cherished pet.

Timeline of shocking state raid for a squirrel and a raccoon

Chemung County Executive Christopher J. Moss explained the timeline of events during a press conference on Tuesday.

The Chemung County Health Department’s Environmental Health Services received a complaint through an email on Oct. 19 about a squirrel and a raccoon living inside the home of Mark and Daniela Longo in Southport, New York. The complaint claimed the couple was not licensed to house the wild animals inside the home.

‘We are filing a very big lawsuit.’

On Oct. 21, the complaint was forwarded to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and the Elmira Animal Control.

A day later, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation contacted the Chemung County Health Department to inform the agency that the “DEC is aware of an individual in Chemung County who is known to illegally possess an adult gray squirrel and at least 4 young raccoons,” adding, “They may also be in possession of other illegal wildlife species.”

The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation declared, “We would like to know if the Health Department would recommend these animals be tested for rabies as a precaution for human safety.”

On Oct. 23, the Chemung County Health Department contacted the New York State Department of Health’s Zoonosis Program, which reportedly advised: “Wildlife cannot be confined like domestic animals, and if there was an exposure, the animals would need to be tested for rabies. Exposure is typically from a bite but can also be caused by saliva entering a wound or mucous membrane.”

Government reportedly planned to euthanize squirrel days before raid, contradicting narrative

As Blaze News previously reported, state agents conducted a raid on the Longos’ home on Oct. 30.

“And 10 to 12 DEC officers raided my house as if I was a drug dealer,” Mark Longo stated. “I sat outside my house for five hours. I had to get a police escort to my bathroom.”

“I wasn’t even allowed to feed my rescue horses breakfast or lunch,” Longo claimed. “I sat there like a criminal after they interrogated my wife to check out her immigration status.”

Longo added, “They got a search warrant. Four departments and a judge signed off on a search warrant for a squirrel and a raccoon.”

Longo said that the search lasted for five hours, and state agents went through “every cabinet, nook and cranny” of his home.

Government agents seized Longo’s pets — Peanut the squirrel and Fred the raccoon.

Both animals were allegedly euthanized later in the day, and their remains were sent to a laboratory for rabies testing.

State officials alleged that Peanut had bitten a DEC civilian wildlife biologist. Government officials claimed that the animal bite prompted a deadly rabies test to be conducted.

When wild animals are suspected of having rabies, the animals are euthanized and a portion of their brains are removed and tested.

“Determination of rabies status of animals other than domesticated animals requires euthanasia of the animal and testing of the animal’s brain for evidence of rabies virus,” according to the New York State Department of Health.

The New York Post reported that the rabies report from Chemung County officials of Peanut and Fred stated: “Animal decap requested on: 10/30/24.”

However, government officials reportedly had “multiple conversations” about euthanizing the animals before anyone was bitten.

“The NYSDEC had multiple conversations with the Chemung County Health Department and Elmira Animal Control on the euthanization process prior to anyone being bitten or the animals being seized,” Moss stated on Tuesday.

Moss continued, “I think it’s important to point out that euthanization orders are almost always completed at the request of either the person exposed or an agency who is conducting an animal-related investigation, such as this. As depicted on both euthanization forms, both animals were brought to the Elmira Animal Control so that proper testing could be conducted.”

Turns out the government was wrong

Moss revealed during Tuesday’s press conference that both Peanut the squirrel and Fred the raccoon tested negative for rabies.

Moss conceded that county officials would wait one or two days to assess the situation before euthanizing unauthorized animals.

Moss attempted to calm the frustrations of people who have been incensed by the killing of the two animals.

“I realize people want to vent. But at the end of the day I think you have to realize the seriousness of humans contracting rabies,” Moss stated. “This is protocol from the state turned down to the county.”

The death of Peanut the squirrel has ignited fierce reactions from fans across the country, including some who have issued death threats to officials with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation.

Peanut’s owner vows to get justice for his cherished pet’s death

Mark Longo operates his property as an animal rescue.

Peanut, sometimes styled as P’Nut, was rescued seven years ago after its mother had allegedly been hit by a car in New York City, and Fred had recently been dropped on Longo’s doorstep in need of care.

Longo remarked about his pet being killed, “It’s not only torn my family apart, but Peanut was the cornerstone of our non-profit animal rescue.”

“It was a 10-month investigation for a squirrel and a raccoon. We have murderers and rapists running the streets, and they didn’t get investigations like this,” Longo told NewsNation’s Chris Cuomo on Tuesday. “So you used all of our taxpayers’ money and our resources to conjure up a story about a squirrel and a raccoon that was so detrimental to our society that they needed to come and kill them.”

The distraught pet owner declared, “I have to live in this state, and these people don’t have the stones to give me a call to say, ‘Hey, I killed your animals, also I cut their heads off, also Peanut doesn’t have rabies,’ like we all knew at the beginning of this story.”

Longo said he would wage a “very big” lawsuit in retaliation for the death of Peanut the squirrel — who has nearly 1 million followers on Instagram.

“Absolutely, we are filing a very big lawsuit,” Longo said during an appearance on NewsNation’s “Cuomo.” “Not only did you violate my constitutional rights, you need to come up with an explanation as to why you murdered these animals,” he said.

Longo proclaimed that the entire incident was a major example of “government overreach.”

Longo launched a GoFundMe campaign to “support P’Nuts Freedom Farm.”

“In memory of Peanut and Fred, we want to shine a light on the mission of P’nuts Freedom Farm, which tirelessly rescues and provides care for vulnerable animals,” Longo wrote. “Their lives were a testament to the importance of compassion and kindness toward all creatures, and we are committed to honoring them by continuing this vital work.”

Longo noted, “All proceeds from our fundraising efforts will directly benefit the rescue and care of other animals at P’nuts Freedom Farm, ensuring that we can continue to provide a safe haven for those in need. Together, we can make a difference and ensure that no other animals suffer a fate like Peanut and Fred.”

At the time of publication, the GoFundMe campaign had raised over $230,000.

President-elect Donald Trump confirmed that he has nominated Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida to serve as attorney general, Republican Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida to serve as secretary of state, and former Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii to serve as director of national intelligence.

Reports of Rubio’s and Gabbard’s appointments have circulated over the last few days, with Trump confirming their nominations on Wednesday. Although Gaetz has long been an ally of Trump, his name has not appeared on any short lists for the administration.

‘As a former Candidate for the Democrat Presidential Nomination, she has broad support in both Parties – She is now a proud Republican!’

“Few issues in America are more important than ending the partisan Weaponization of our Justice System,” Trump said in a statement. “Matt will end Weaponized Government, protect our Borders, dismantle Criminal Organizations and restore Americans’ badly-shattered Faith and Confidence in the Justice Department.”

“Matt will root out the systemic corruption at DOJ, and return the Department to its true mission of fighting Crime, and upholding our Democracy and Constitution,” Trump continued. “We must have Honesty, Integrity, and Transparency at DOJ. Under Matt’s leadership, all Americans will be proud of the Department of Justice once again.”

In response, Gaetz tweeted, “It will be an honor to serve as President Trump’s Attorney General!”

Trump also confirmed rumors of Rubio’s nomination.

“Marco is a Highly Respected Leader, and a very powerful Voice for Freedom,” Trump said in a statement. “He will be a strong Advocate for our Nation, a true friend to our Allies, and a fearless Warrior who will never back down to our adversaries.”

“Fighting partisan gridlock and elite complacency is never easy, but Senator Rubio is honored to serve his country and the people of Florida,” Trump continued. “Every day, he wakes up determined to make it easier for you and your family to pursue the American Dream. He will not stop until American politics is once again centered on commonsense and the common good.”

In response to the nomination, Rubio thanked Trump and promised to prioritize American interests.

“As Secretary of State, I will work every day to carry out [Trump’s] foreign policy agenda,” Rubio said of the nomination. “Under the leadership of President Trump, we will deliver peace through strength and always put the interests of Americans and America above all else.”

Given Rubio is currently a sitting senator, Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida will have to make an appointment to replace him for the remainder of his term.

Trump also went on to congratulate and praise Gabbard for her past and future service to the country.

“For over two decades, Tulsi has fought for our Country and the Freedoms of all Americans,” Trump said in a statement. “As a former Candidate for the Democrat Presidential Nomination, she has broad support in both Parties – She is now a proud Republican!”

“I know Tulsi will bring the fearless spirit that has defined her illustrious career to our Intelligence Community, championing our Constitutional Rights, and securing Peace through Strength,” Trump continued. “Tulsi will make us all proud!”

Trump derangement syndrome is alive and well among liberals, but Bill Maher is refusing to let the ailment get the best of him, as it has so many others.

In a recent segment on “Real Time with Bill Maher,” he made this incredibly clear.

“He called for a military tribunal against her,” panelist John Heilemann said of Trump’s recent comments about Liz Cheney. “He might not do it, but you don’t want to normalize the notion that that’s the kind of language that we want to have.”

“This is the problem with, I’m sorry, the far left, is that you’re not going to drag me into Trump derangement syndrome. It’s not deranged to be upset and worried about the real things. Like, he could be a fascist,” Maher responded.

“But if you’re going to think I’m going to chase every rabbit down the hole for the next four years, you’re wrong. I’m not going to,” he continued. “I did this once; I’m not going to do it again.”

“That’s who he is. If he talks about Arnold Palmer’s **** or he says a bad word or says something that everybody thinks like ‘There are s***hole countries,’ I’m not going to lose my s*** about it. I’m just not, ‘cause that is deranged,” he added.

Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” is impressed to say the least.

“Who knows where Bill will end up years from now? Maybe he never gets where we all would want him to be electorally, and okay, so be it, but he’s saying it,” Rubin says.

“He’s saying, ‘I will not behave the way I behaved last time,’ which was, ‘I was going to hate him and undermine him no matter what,’” he adds.

In the aftermath of President-elect Donald Trump’s landslide win, legacy media outlet the Los Angeles Times appears to be making a frantic effort to realign with voters.

On Wednesday, the Times’ owner, Dr. Pat Soon-Shiong, announced that the newspaper would replace its editorial board.

‘Putting lipstick on a pig.’

In a statement on X, Soon-Shiong wrote, “When the President has won the vote of the majority of Americans then ALL voices must be heard. Opinions are just that.”

“I will work towards making our paper and media fair and balanced so that all voices are heard and we can respectfully exchange every American’s view,” he added, emphasizing that diverse perspectives would include opinions “from left to right to the center.”

“Coming soon,” Soon-Shiong wrote. “A new Editorial Board. Trust in media is critical for a strong democracy.”

Over recent years, the editorial section of the L.A. Times has frequently published articles that clearly demonstrate its left-leaning bias.

The Times issued an opinion piece in 2021 written by columnist Erika D. Smith, titled, “Larry Elder is the Black face of white supremacy. You’ve been warned.” The following year, the newspaper released an op-ed by business columnist Michael Hiltzik titled, “Mocking anti-vaxxers’ COVID deaths is ghoulish, yes — but may be necessary.“

Fox News national correspondent Bill Melugin noted that the L.A. Times published article after article “endorsing soft on crime [Los Angeles District Attorney] DA George Gascon, who just got blown out by over 20 points in his re-election bid.”

Police analyst and Townhall columnist Phil Holloway responded on X to the news that the L.A. Times plans to replace its editorial board.

Holloway wrote, “Here in the south we call this ‘putting lipstick on a pig.'”

“They can change the editorial board all they want, but until they abandon ‘advocacy journalism‘ — which is a euphemism for propaganda — they will remain a newspaper worthy only of lining birdcages,” Holloway added.

Leading into the election, Soon-Shiong faced significant pushback after he refused to allow the newspaper to endorse Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris. Since 2008, the Times has backed every Democratic presidential candidate.

Following the non-endorsement decision, the newspaper faced a wave of resignations, including three editorial board members.

Then-editorials editor Mariel Garza stated at the time, “I am resigning because I want to make it clear that I am not okay with us being silent.”

“In dangerous times, honest people need to stand up. This is how I’m standing up,” Garza added.

Soon-Shiong explained, “The Editorial Board was provided the opportunity to draft a factual analysis of all the POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE policies by EACH candidate during their tenures at the White House, and how these policies affected the nation.”

“Instead of adopting this path as suggested, the Editorial Board chose to remain silent and I accepted their decision,” he said.

The Los Angeles Times Guild Unit Council and Bargaining Committee accused Soon-Shiong of “unfairly assigning blame to Editorial Board members for his decision not to endorse.”

UFC legend Jorge Masvidal said that his support of President Donald Trump comes from years of watching him push his own thoughts and ideas forward, while other politicians were bought off.

Masvidal is of Cuban descent and has defended Trump for years while condemning Democrats, saying they are slowly creeping toward communism.

During election coverage on the night of the Republican victory, Masvidal was asked by podcast host Patrick Bet-David why he likes Trump so much.

“2015/16 I started seeing him do his thing, and he said one thing right in the beginning that caught my eye,” Masvidal began. “That was, he said nobody was in his pockets. He said he was in all these politicians’ pockets [and] he got them to do whatever he wanted to do, and nobody was ever in his pocket. He paid everybody off.”

The fighter, who is the inaugural “Baddest Motherf***er” (BMF) champion in the UFC, added that it has been Trump’s individuality and willingness to push his own ideas that has led to his near decade-long support.

“He was coming into the game with his own ideas, his own thoughts, and nobody could buy him. When I heard that I was like, ‘This is a man that if he says what he’s going to do, it’s going to be the best thing for us.'”

‘This is one person with his own thoughts, and he loves America.’

The fighter told Bet-David that there are no “secret corporations” controlling the president behind the scenes and no foreign governments he is beholden to.

“This is one person with his own thoughts, and he loves America, that’s how long I’ve been rocking with Trump. I love this guy.”

In 2023, Masvidal defended Trump in the face of indictments in New York City, likening the charges to the actions of communist governments.

“My family has lived through it, and history has told us that this is a play right out of the communist playbook,” Masvidal said at the time.

The 40-year-old warned that if the charges went through on Trump, there was no telling where government persecution would stop.

“This has been done before in history, and every time it’s happened, it only gets worse. We can’t let the left take over,” Masvidal warned.

Masvidal lost fought in July in a boxing match against fellow UFC legend Nate Diaz, losing in a decision.

In September, Masvidal said he was eyeing a UFC comeback. He is still under contract with the organization, and according to ESPN, told the UFC he wants to fight No.1-ranked middleweight Leon Edwards.

After perhaps the most contentious presidential election season in modern history, Americans were finally gifted a moment of peace and comity when President-elect Donald Trump joined President Joe Biden in the Oval Office on Wednesday.

Last week, Trump crushed Biden’s vice president, Kamala Harris, both in the popular vote and the Electoral College, meaning that in just a few weeks, he will return to office to serve a second term.

‘Politics is tough, and it’s, in many cases, not a very nice world, but it is a nice world today.’

To signal the beginning of the transition to the next administration, Biden invited Trump to a friendly meeting in the Oval Office, and Trump agreed.

On Wednesday, with a blazing fire as a backdrop, the two former political foes shook hands warmly and exchanged pleasantries.

Addressing Trump as “Mr. President” and acknowledging him as a “former president,” Biden congratulated Trump on his recent victory and promised a “smooth transition” in the days and weeks to come.

“We’re gonna do everything we can to make sure you’re accommodated, what you need,” Biden said.

“Welcome. Welcome back,” he added to the man he recently called “the greatest threat to our democracy.”

Trump graciously accepted Biden’s remarks and offered a few conciliatory statements of his own.

“Politics is tough, and it’s, in many cases, not a very nice world,” Trump replied, “but it is a nice world today, and I appreciate it very much.”

— (@)

Shortly after their brief exchange, rancor arose among a group of reporters who were also gathered in the Oval Office. While some attempted to ask questions, the two presidents ignored the noise and instead smiled at one another as though laughing at an inside joke, another clip showed.

Notably absent at the White House Wednesday was once and future first lady Melania Trump. Reports indicated that first lady Jill Biden invited Mrs. Trump for a meeting, but a statement from Melania’s office confirmed that she would not attend.

“Mrs. Trump will not be attending today’s meeting at the White House,” her office said in a statement posted to X. “Her husband’s return to the Oval Office to commence the transition process is encouraging, and she wishes him great success.”

Mattel “deeply regrets” printing a link to a pornographic website on the packaging for a “Wicked” doll aimed at children.

The URL misprint linked to a porn site that requires people to be 18 years or older to enter. Barbie toy producer Mattel has issued an apology after customers noticed that its “Wicked” dolls mistakenly directed customers to the website of the Wicked Pictures pornographic movie studio, instead of the correct WickedMovie.com site.

The ‘Wicked’ dolls are listed on eBay for as much as $350.

Mattel released a statement on the X-rated error to the Hollywood Reporter on Sunday: “Mattel was made aware of a misprint on the packaging of the Mattel Wicked collection dolls, primarily sold in the U.S., which intended to direct consumers to the official WickedMovie.com landing page.”

“We deeply regret this unfortunate error and are taking immediate action to remedy this,” the toy company said. “Parents are advised that the misprinted, incorrect website is not appropriate for children.”

Mattel added, “Consumers who already have the product are advised to discard the product packaging or obscure the link and may contact Mattel Customer Service for further information.”

Users on social media shared photos and videos of the salacious slip-up.

The dolls are advertised for children aged four and up.

Mattel said the company is in the process of yanking the toys from the shelves at retailers, including Amazon, Target, Barnes & Noble, and Walmart.

While the “Wicked” dolls retail for around $25, the accidentally adult versions have already been listed on eBay for as much as $350.

“Inspired by Universal Pictures’ ‘Wicked,’ the singing Glinda fashion doll captures the lovable, memorable moment from the film,” the description of the doll read on Mattel’s website. “Press the button and sing along with clips of her iconic song, ‘Popular.’ The kind-hearted character wears a removable, soft pink gown accessorized with hairclips and shoes. Her long, blonde hair completes the movie look for endless styling fun!”

“Highlighting the magic of sisterhood and friendship, ‘Wicked’ dolls make an inspiring gift for kids to play out their biggest dreams,” the toy company added. “Glinda doll wears a soft, removable, pink ombre dress with puff sleeves and features her long blonde hair – use her hair clip accessories to create even more Glinda-fied styles and looks!”

The dolls were released to coincide with the release of Universal’s adaptation of the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical on Nov. 22. “Wicked” features Grammy and Tony-winning actress Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba and Grammy-winning, multi-platinum singer Ariana Grande as Glinda.

On Monday, June 17, 2024, Alexis Nungaray received news that would shake any loving parent to the core. Her daughter, Jocelyn Nungaray, was murdered and thrown in a bayou of water underneath a creek.

Jocelyn was only 12 years old when she walked to the corner store to grab a soda, where she was taken and then murdered by two illegal Venezuelan immigrants: Johan Jose Martinez Rangel, 22, and Franklin Pena Ramos, 26 years old.

Border Patrol had apprehended Johan Martinez near El Paso on March 14, but he was promptly released the same day on an order of recognizance with a notice to appear. On May 28, Franklin Pena was also apprehended before being let go on a promise to appear in court at a later date.

Not three weeks later, they took Jocelyn’s life.

“The hard facts of reality is there will unfortunately be more Jocelyns, but that’s why I’m being so courageous, and that’s why I’m using my voice, since her voice was viciously ripped away from her,” Nungaray tells Alex Stein of “Prime Time with Alex Stein.”

“This unfortunately is a desperate wakeup call that this country needs to realize that Jocelyn needs to be the last Jocelyn. She needs to be the last child for this to happen,” she continues.

Stein is horrified, especially considering the Biden administration’s “catch and release” program allowed these two immigrants — who had Venezuelan gang affiliations — to roam freely on the streets of the United States.

“The fact is, they’re letting people come into this country unvetted, and a lot of these people have gang affiliations, and both of these guys had gang affiliations,” Stein says.

After the pair murdered Jocelyn in cold blood, one of the immigrants attempted to change his appearance to go under the radar.

“He had a full beard, and once he was watching the news with the still shots on them, he completely shaved his face clean, and he thought that was going to be the bandaid over his mistake, but it didn’t work because he was still caught within days of them doing what they did to her,” Nungaray explains.

While liberals have remained steadfast in their claim that illegal aliens deserve to be here, Stein doesn’t think they truly understand that this can and will affect them negatively.

“This is a serious issue that you can be affected by. Doesn’t matter your political leaning, it doesn’t matter your race, your ethnicity, you can be affected by this,” Stein says. “It’s just, you never know who can be a victim.”

Disney actress Rachel Zegler said she was “heartbroken” over Donald Trump winning the election and urged her fans not to use Elon Musk’s platform X due to his support of the president.

In a series of social media stories on Instagram, the “Snow White” actress said the election results left her “speechless.”

“Another four years of hatred, leaning us towards a world I do not want to live in,” the 23-year-old opined. “Leaning us towards a world that will be hard to raise my daughter in. leaning us towards a world that will force her to have a baby she doesn’t want. leaning us towards a world that is fearful.”

On top of admitting she shouldn’t be shocked, the actress said she was “heartbroken” for her friends who woke up fearful the morning after the election. She expressed to her fans that she is “here” for them should they need to “cry,” “yell,” or “hug.”

“The left continues to fail us in forging a new path forward. this loss should not have been. and it certainly should not have been by so many votes,” she waxed on.

‘There is no help, no counsel, in any of them.’

Zegler’s tone turned darker as she said she agreed with the sentiment that “more than anything,” Trump supporters, voters, and Trump himself should “never know peace.”

Adding to the long-held Democratic Party claim that Trump is a threat to democracy, Zegler said there is a “deep, deep sickness” in the United States, proven by the tens of millions of people who voted for Trump.

She also called the number of people who support Trump “terrifying,” saying they are subscribing to a “false sense of security, of masculinity, of intelligence, of patriotism, and of humanity.”

“There is no help, no counsel, in any of them,” Zegler said of Trump supporters. “I could go on. i won’t. i feel sad. you probably do, too. f*** this.”

The young actress also urged her followers not to use Musk’s platform because he “helped get that man elected,” accusing those who are on X of “giving [Musk] business.”

The New Jersey-born star has frequently rejected backlash for her commentary, attributing it to prejudice related to her ethnicity.

She said in October 2023 that those speaking against her were doing so because she is one of the many “fearless and loud” Latino performers who are “loud about having seats at the tables they deserve to be at.”

The same account that posted Zegler’s recent anti-Trump rant also noted her recent hyperbolic post describing why she was voting for Vice President Kamala Harris.

“I’m voting for kamala harris because either she or donald trump will be president come january, and if hillary clinton (another deeply flawed candidate) had won in 2016, roe v. wade would be law today and women who are now dead from treatable pregnancy complications would be alive,” she claimed.

In addition, she also implied that the Republican ticket believes “trans people and immigrants are the root” of the nation’s problems. Zegler also suggested that the National Guard would be unjustly deployed on protesters if Trump wins.

“If [Kamala] loses, i worry i may never vote again.”

A Connecticut teacher — who reportedly is assigned to special education at a public elementary school — has been placed on leave after a video circulated showing her threatening people who voted for President-elect Donald Trump.

In the video, she claims that “people of color and poor people and gay people and all the people that I care about aren’t gonna be safe in America — neither the f*** are you guys. Just because you won doesn’t mean we don’t remember who the f*** you voted for. You’re not in the clear.”

‘I can’t unsee the video … and I can’t walk into that school. … I’m literally shaking, I can’t walk into that school and hand my kid off to that person.’

She adds, “Please don’t test your gangster on me because you will end on a stretcher. Gone. Forever. So serious. Nobody f***in’ talk to me unless you wanna swing. If you wanna fight, text me, call me, whatever. Anybody else stay the f*** outta my face.”

The clip ends with her saying, “And if you voted for Trump, literally please delete me, block me, get rid of everything of me — or step to me, so that I know what’s up, and I can handle you how I see fit. Please, just come forward, we f***in’ know. Just tell me. Or leave.”

Cheshire Public School’s Superintendent Jeff Solan said he was made aware of the Snapchat video over the weekend and that the teacher — whom the district has not identified — was placed on leave until the outcome of an investigation, WFSB-TV reported.

Solan told the station that the district received a large number of calls — mostly from people outside the Cheshire community — and that business couldn’t be conducted as usual with the teacher on campus.

A police presence was put in place out of an abundance of caution, WFSB said, adding Cheshire police stated that they’ve launched their own investigation.

WTIC-TV reported that it learned the teacher is assigned to special education at Chapman Elementary School in Cheshire.

Solan told WFSB the teacher intended the video as a private message to her Snapchat group and that she expressed her personal opinion, not the opinion of Cheshire Public Schools.

WFSB added that Kate Dias, president of the Connecticut Education Association, released a statement about the teacher’s video in regard to respecting free speech:

CEA values the right to free speech and respects the diverse opinions of our members. We know that emotions can run high after an election, and we encourage everyone to engage in respectful conversations as part of our democratic process. Keeping our discussions civil and focused is important in maintaining a positive environment in our schools. We must continue to share our views constructively while prioritizing respect, unity, and our shared commitment to educating and caring for our students.

WTIC said the Cheshire Town Council held a meeting Tuesday night, and some parents said they weren’t happy with what was expressed in the video.

WTIC reported that Amy Bourdon — a Cheshire mom whose son with special needs attends school in the district — said, “I saw a woman in crisis, and then when I replayed it a couple of times, I got up from my table and went and locked my front door.”

Bourdon — who is a Republican, WTIC said — added that “we are the targets. Our lives have been targeted by an individual that cashes a paycheck from the town of Cheshire every week.”

Lorie Barnes told WTIC that “I’m tired of being a Trump supporter and whispering.”

Barnes, who’s lived in Cheshire all her life, added to WTIC that her grandson will be moving from England and entering the Cheshire school district — and now that terrifies her.

“I can’t unsee the video … and I can’t walk into that school. … I’m literally shaking, I can’t walk into that school and hand my kid off to that person,” Barnes told WTIC.

The hits just keep on coming

As Blaze News has previously reported this week, a Southern California high school teacher on the day after the election lashed out in a classroom at a student who was wearing a Trump hat.

Blaze News this week also noted that a teacher at a different Southern California public high school went on a profane rant in his Advanced Placement world history class against Trump the day after the election and was placed on administrative leave.

The Guardian, a British, left-leaning news outlet, and former CNN anchor Don Lemon separately announced that they will no longer be posting on X.

On Wednesday morning, the newspaper published an article explaining its reasoning behind leaving the social media site. According to the Guardian, the “benefits” of posting on the platform no longer outweigh the so-called “negatives,” noting that its resources would be better spent elsewhere.

‘They are irrelevant.’

The Guardian blamed “disturbing content” on X, citing “far-right conspiracy theories and racism.”

“The U.S. presidential election campaign served only to underline what we have considered for a long time: that X is a toxic media platform and that its owner, Elon Musk, has been able to use its influence to shape political discourse,” the news outlet wrote.

While the Guardian stated that it will no longer post on the site, it noted that its reporters will continue using X for “news-gathering purposes.”

“X now plays a diminished role in promoting our work,” the newspaper declared, adding that its “business model does not rely on viral content tailored to the whims of the social media giants’ algorithms.”

At the bottom of its article, the Guardian requested donations from readers to help it “stand up to four more years of Donald Trump.”

Former CNN host Don Lemon posted a similar farewell message on his X account.

After Lemon was fired by the network last year, he tried to negotiate an exclusive content partnership with Musk on X to start his new independent show. The deal collapsed after Lemon made excessive contract demands and conducted an awkward interview with Musk, pushing for censorship on the platform.

Lemon told his X followers on Wednesday morning, “It’s time for me to leave the platform.”

He claimed that he previously viewed X as “a place for honest debate and discussion, transparency, and free speech.”

“But I now feel it does not serve that purpose,” Lemon remarked.

“In addition, starting this Friday, November 15, X is implementing new terms of service, which among other things states that ‘All disputes … be brought exclusively in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas or state courts located in Tarrant County, Texas,” he continued.

He cited a Washington Post article that claimed the platform’s new terms of service “ensure[] that such lawsuits will be heard in courthouses that are a hub for conservatives, which experts say could make it easier for X to shield itself from litigation and punish critics.”

“I think that speaks for itself,” Lemon declared.

X users annihilated both the Guardian and Lemon in the comments of their departure announcement posts.

In response to the Guardian’s decision to leave, Musk responded, “They are irrelevant.”

Multiple X users mocked the news outlet for announcing its departure from the platform.

Influencer DC Draino, whose real name is Rogan O’Handley, told Lemon that “nobody cares” that he will no longer be on X.

Conservative filmmaker Robby Starbuck replied to Lemon, stating, “I give it one month before you can’t help yourself and come back on here.”
