Warmonger Boris Johnson Urges NATO Troop Deployment in Ukraine Again.

Former Prime Minister Boris Johnson is once again calling for NATO boots on the ground in Ukraine. He claims he does not “think we should be sending in combat troops to take on the Russians” but that a negotiated peace deal or ceasefire should involve “multinational European peace-keeping forces monitoring the border, helping the Ukrainians.”

Johnson made the comments in an interview with The Telegraph, where he also stated bluntly that the Ukraine war is a Western “proxy war” with Russia, and the West should be giving its “proxies” stronger military support. He believes full integration into NATO is the only long-term solution to Ukrainian security—a move that would embroil America and the rest of NATO in any renewed conflict between Ukraine and Russia.

Multiple sources, including members of Ukrainian and British political circles, have indicated that Johnson played a pivotal role in scuttling early peace negotiations between Ukraine and Russia. In Kiev, Johnson reportedly urged Ukrainian officials to continue fighting, hamstringing talks that could have ended hostilities in 2022. David Arahamiya, leader of Ukraine’s ruling party, and former Conservative Member of Parliament (MP) Nadine Dorries are among those who have confirmed Johnson’s intervention.

Russia’s President Vladimir Putin also said in an interview with Tucker Carlson that Russia was open to a negotiated settlement and had been actively pursuing such discussions before Johnson’s involvement. Naftali Bennet, the Prime Minister of Israel at the outbreak of the war, has also said the West “blocked” an early peace deal, with Johnson taking a particularly “aggressive” line in favor of war.

While in office, Johnson advocated for increased military recruitment within Britain and supported the idea of conscription.

He has also argued that if U.S. President-elect Donald J. Trump were to withdraw American support for Ukraine as part of a peace push, Britain should consider deploying troops. He suggests that British forces should be ready to intervene if Russia gains a strategic advantage.

FACT CHECK: UK Mass Migration Exploded to Over 900,000 Last Year.

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has slammed the Conservatives (Tories) who governed Britain from 2010 until July this year over revised Office for National Statistics (ONS) figures showing net immigration hit an astonishing 906,000 in the year to June 2023. Previous, provisional ONS numbers showed net immigration had fallen compared to the year to June 2022, but, as in previous years, the government statistician has since found many tens of thousands of additional migrants it missed in its initial estimate.

“A failure on this scale isn’t just bad luck, it isn’t a global trend or taking your eye off the ball—no, this is a different order of failure,” said Starmer, of the far-left Labour Party, arguing: “Brexit was used… to turn Britain into a One Nation experiment in open borders. ‘Global Britain’—remember that slogan? That is what they meant. A policy with no support and which they then pretended wasn’t happening,” he added.

“And now they want to wave it away with a simple ‘we got it wrong.’ Well, that’s unforgivable.”

During the Brexit referendum campaign, former Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his successor, Rishi Sunak, pledged to “take back control” of Britain’s borders. However, after winning the referendum and gaining power, they implemented an uncapped points system, which they were repeatedly warned would supercharge mass migration.

LABOUR’S RECORD.

The previous Labour government also increased net immigration to around a quarter of a million a year, with the Conservatives ousting them on a promise—repeatedly broken—to reduce the annual influx “from the hundreds of thousands to the tens of thousands.” However, the post-pandemic increase to the high hundreds of thousands under Johnson and Sunak is without precedent.

Notably, all migrants who arrived during the “Boris surge” will be eligible for indefinite leave to remain in Britain after just five years, a status which grants expansive chain migration rights to family members. So far, Starmer has ignored calls to suspend or extend indefinite leave to remain in response to the ONS statistics.

In the 1960s, immigration of just 50,000 a year was considered socially undesirable, with the late Conservative lawmaker Enoch Powell giving a famous speech in 1968 stating, “Those whom the gods wish to destroy, they first make mad. We must be mad, literally mad, as a nation to be permitting the annual inflow of some 50,000 dependents, who are, for the most part, the material of the future growth of the immigrant-descended population. It is like watching a nation busily engaged in heaping up its own funeral pyre.”

Russia Heckles U.S. Establishment: ‘Cry Over Ukraine and Gaza Rather Than Trump!’

Russia has called on American liberals to cry more for the deaths of people in Ukraine and Gaza rather than spend time in “hysteria” over the election of President-elect Donald J. Trump. Maria Zakharova, spokeswoman for the Russian Foreign Ministry, urged the United States to redirect its focus toward ongoing conflicts in the Middle East and Europe following reports that U.S. State Department staff sought counseling after Donald Trump’s election victory.

Zakharova’s comments responded to media reports that the State Department arranged therapy sessions for employees struggling with Trump’s election. Employees at the State Department were invited the Friday after the election to an in-house therapy session if they felt they were unable to cope with the changing political environment and Trump’s return to the White House

Meanwhile, California Representative Darrell Issa expressed concern in a formal letter to Secretary of State Antony Blinken. Issa described the notion of providing counseling as alarming, arguing it catered to employees who were troubled by the democratic process.

Zakharova’s statements included pointed remarks about American diplomats mourning Trump’s victory.

“The fact that American diplomats are crying bitterly during working hours instead of performing their duties has caused confusion not only among the public but also within the U.S. House of Representatives,” Zakharova said.

President-elect Trump has promised to end the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia, with Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky admitting that Trump’s election will hasten the end of the war. However, in recent days, the conflict appears to be escalating after President Joe Biden and Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer both gave the green light to allow Ukraine to fire Western-supplied long-range missiles deep into Russian territory.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has previously stated such attacks would amount to an act of war by NATO against Russia.

AZ Man Faces Charges for Threatening Donald Trump and Family.

An Arizona man, Manuel Tamayo-Torres, has been detained following accusations of threatening President-elect Donald J. Trump and his family while wielding a rifle in online videos. As detailed in court documents from Arizona, Tamayo-Torres is alleged to have uploaded videos almost daily, making a bizarre and unfounded series of allegations against the President-elect and his family. Concerningly, one video is believed to have been recorded at a Trump rally held at the Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale on August 23.

The documents reference “Individual 1,” describing this person as a former president and current President-elect rather than directly naming Trump. In a Facebook video dated November 13, Tamayo-Torres is seen displaying a white AR-15-style rifle with a 30-round magazine, issuing a challenging but unclear threat, according to the documents. He is quoted as referring to “Individual 1” and mentioning a scenario involving pursuit after gunfire.

On November 21, another video allegedly showed Tamayo-Torres threatening that Trump’s entire family would die. The documents further reveal his derogatory remarks about Trump’s background and a declaration of intent to cause harm if given the opportunity.

Tamayo-Torres was apprehended in Southern California on Monday. His legal representative has not provided any public comment. The charges against him include one count of making threats against the President-elect and four counts of providing false statements during a firearm purchase. The court documents note that Tamayo-Torres has a criminal history, with a felony assault conviction in 2003 resulting in a five-year imprisonment in California. In addition, he received a protective order from his ex-wife last year, according to the filings.

‘Catholic’ Biden Omits ‘Almighty God’ in Thanksgiving Proclamation.

President Joe Biden notably did not include mentions of the Almighty God or Divine Providence in his Thanksgiving proclamation this year. This stands in contrast to historical traditions, where references to a higher power have been commonly featured in proclamations under past presidents.

The absence came amid the annual observance of Thanksgiving, a holiday Abraham Lincoln officially established as a national day of gratitude in 1863. Even during the turbulent Civil War, Lincoln called for recognition of blessings he attributed to divine intervention.

In his 1863 proclamation, Lincoln encouraged Americans to dedicate the last Thursday of November to thank “our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens.” He emphasized these blessings were not merely human achievements but “the gracious gifts of the Most High God.” Furthermore, Lincoln urged citizens to remember the source of these benefits, cautioning against taking them for granted.

President Biden’s omission aligns with a similar approach taken by former President Barack Obama, who did not reference God in his 2016 Thanksgiving address. This contrasts with the practices of Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Donald J. Trump, who all incorporated mentions of God in their proclamations.

Notably, in 2020, President Trump made both references to God and to the first American settlers who traveled across the Atlantic on the Mayflower.

“On Thanksgiving Day, we thank God for the abundant blessings in our lives. As we gather with family and friends to celebrate this season of generosity, hope, and gratitude, we commemorate America’s founding traditions of faith, family, and friendship, and give thanks for the principles of freedom, liberty, and democracy that make our country exceptional in the history of the world,” Trump wrote, adding: “This November marks 400 years since the Mayflower and its passengers faced the unknown and set sail across the Atlantic Ocean. Propelled by hope for a brighter future, these intrepid men and women endured two long months at sea, tired and hungry, to arrive in a new world full of potential.”

Feds Probe PAC Linked to NYC Mayor Adams.

Federal authorities are investigating a New York City pastor and a political action committee (PAC) he established to support Mayor Eric Adams‘s (D) agenda. The criminal probe is part of several corruption investigations related to Mayor Adams or those close to him over allegations of funneling straw donations in exchange for city contracts and permit approvals on behalf of the Republic of Turkey.

The exact scope of the federal investigation remains uncertain. Still, authorities including prosecutors in Brooklyn and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) are reportedly focusing on the actions of the Rev. Alfred Cockfield II. Additionally, the financial dealings of his political action committee, Striving for a Better New York, are under examination.

Approximately two weeks ago, FBI agents searched Mr. Cockfield’s residence in Far Rockaway. Three years prior, Mr. Cockfield created the committee to support Mayor Adams’s agenda. Neither Cockfield nor Adams have made any public statements regarding the situation.

Rev. Cockfield, once a member of the mayor’s transition team, appeared with Mayor Adams during his election night victory celebration. Despite his public involvement, Cockfield’s past includes a 1998 guilty plea for transporting three kilograms of cocaine for the drug organization known as the Poison Clan.

These developments are unfolding in a city that has seen an increase in corruption inquiries involving its leadership. Over the last year, several top city officials have either been questioned or raided by federal law enforcement. In September, the home of the then-New York Police commissioner was raided by the FBI in connection to the broader investigation of Adams and his associates.

Classic ‘Oregon Trail’ Game Set for Big Screen Adventure.

A film adaptation of the iconic computer game The Oregon Trail is currently in development, bringing the educational classic to the big screen. Bill Heinemann, one of the game’s co-creators, reflected on its enduring popularity, acknowledging it has become a cultural touchstone worldwide.

The game, first created in 1971 while Heinemann was at Carleton College, has sold tens of millions of copies and was inducted into the World Video Game Hall of Fame. Its original concept came from Don Rawitsch, who designed a board game for his students to simulate the westward journey of 19th-century settlers. Heinemann recognized the potential to adapt it for computers, then a nascent technology, allowing for unpredictable gameplay outcomes without dice.

Notably, the game is remembered for its various player deaths, including from dysentery and snake bites. Heinemann recalled the surprise element of snake bites, noting that they rarely occurred but could catch players off guard. However, ‘dying of dysentery’ has become a popular cultural meme, likely contributing to the game’s continued vitality.

More than five decades after its creation, Apple is reportedly transforming the game into an action-comedy film. Heinemann expressed astonishment at the enduring interest in The Oregon Trail, viewing the movie as a natural progression of the game’s legacy.

Despite its success, Heinemann, Rawitsch, and co-creator Paul Dillenberger did not profit from the game, handing it over to the Minnesota Educational Computing Consortium soon after its development. Heinemann stated that financial gain was never a motivation; his focus was on the love of teaching and gaming.

Letitia James Should Follow Jack Smith’s Lead and Drop Her Lawsuit, Says Lawyer.

President-elect Donald J. Trump’s legal team has petitioned New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) to abandon her civil fraud lawsuit against the 47th President of the United States. The request follows actions by special counsel Jack Smith, who withdrew both of his criminal cases against Trump after his electoral victory in 2024. Trump’s lawyer, John Sauer, sent the request in a letter to James, echoing recent judicial decisions.

The far-left judge presiding over the matter previously mandated Trump to pay a $454 million civil fraud penalty. This followed James’ lawsuit accusing Trump of inflating the value of his assets to secure favorable loan terms. Sauer’s letter highlighted the decision by the special counsel’s office, stating that Democratic officials are withdrawing what he described as discredited lawsuits. He noted the recent dismissal of cases in both the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia and the appeal in the 11th Circuit involving classified documents.

Earlier, Smith had moved to drop four felony charges against Trump related to alleged 2020 election interference and the January 6 Capitol incident. Trump had denied all accusations. Federal Judge Tanya Chutkan in Washington, D.C., approved the dismissal soon after the motion was filed. Smith cited the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) precedent of not prosecuting sitting presidents, which Chutkan acknowledged in her ruling.

The attorney general’s response suggests she may not concede to Sauer’s appeal. In a recent press event, James expressed readiness to counter potential challenges from a renewed Trump administration. She emphasized her office’s commitment to upholding the rule of law and countering any federal overreach during Trump’s upcoming presidency.

Appellate judges are expressing strong skepticism about the civil fraud ruling. It may be thrown out regardless of James’s next move.

People Are Sick of These Hollywood Actors.

Users of the online message board platform Reddit say they are growing tired of certain actors’ repetitive or stale performances in recent Hollywood films. Redditors were asked to name actors whom they were tired of seeing in films. Receiving more than a thousand comments within a day, the post saw Kevin Hart and Mark Wahlberg mentioned frequently. Both have been prominent figures in the film industry, often appearing in multiple movies each year.

Wahlberg, who users have criticized for always seeming like he is from Boston no matter what role he plays, has also become more well-known recently among Catholics, participating in the popular Catholic prayer app, Hallow.

Dwayne ‘The Rock‘ Johnson, also featured on the list, was criticized for playing himself in most roles. His most recent film, the Christmas-themed Red One, has been largely panned by critics.

Meanwhile, Jared Leto was described as a “dick in person,” with one user saying the actor should not be allowed on a film set.

Hollywood has struggled to get people back into theatres since the end of the COVID-19 pandemic. Box office numbers have plummeted, causing theater bankruptcies like Cineworld’s in 2022.

Hollywood and corporate media are expecting massive layoffs in the coming months, with Paramount Global announcing it will reduce its workforce by at least 3 percent.

Director Judd Apatow also highlighted China’s influence on modern films, claiming the country and its vast market have forced the film industry to censor certain topics.

GOP Governors Should Send Migrants to Denver Mayor’s House, Says Senator.

Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) addressed comments made by leftist Denver Mayor Mike Johnston concerning immigration policies, urging Republican governors to transport undocumented immigrants to Denver. Johnston previously declared his intention to shield illegals from deportation when President-elect Donald J. Trump assumes office.

In a discussion with local media, Johnston expressed plans to position Denver police at county borders to prevent the entry of federal immigration officers, stating his willingness to face imprisonment to hinder deportations.

Cruz, during an episode of his “Verdict” podcast, called upon Republican state governors, specifically naming Texas Governor Greg Abbott and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, to send migrants arriving in their states to Denver as a reaction to Johnston’s remarks. The Texas Republican suggested that immigrants be transported directly to the mayor’s residence, emphasizing the mayor’s commitment to hosting them.

Sen. Cruz framed his recommendation as a challenge to see if Denver residents support Johnston’s vow to defy federal immigration laws. He mentioned potential negative consequences, highlighting public safety concerns and predicting local opposition to the influx of migrants.

President-elect Trump’s incoming border czar Tom Homan also reacted to Johnston, saying, “Me and the Denver mayor, we agree on one thing; he’s willing to go to jail. I’m willing to put him in jail.”

“I find it hard to believe that any mayor or governor would say they don’t want public safety threats removed from their neighborhoods,” Homan said.

The Denver suburb of Aurora made headlines earlier this year when members of the Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang took over entire apartment buildings at gunpoint and were reportedly extorting money from the residents. President-elect Trump has vowed to specifically target Tren de Aragua as part of “Operation Aurora,” using the Alien Enemies Act of 1798.
