Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) “doesn’t have the rizz,” says former Trump backer Anthony Scaramucci, deploying the Gen Z word of the year, meaning “style, charm or attractiveness”.
The Mooch’s comments followed a CNN town hall with the Florida Governor on Tuesday night.
“You know, listen, Governor DeSantis has a very good record in Florida, I think Kate gave a very fair assessment of him. But he really hasn’t shown up to be president when you look at him. The American people have a little test in their head. President, not president. And he has never really rung the bell for a large enough people as president. They don’t see him as president. He doesn’t have the, the rizz. Isn’t that a new…?”
“There’s a no-percent chance [Poppy Harlow] knows what you’re talking about. But I do,” said CNN co-host Phil Mattingly, adding: “And I deeply, deeply respect where you’re going with this.”
“You know, Phil, Ron’s got no rizz,” Scaramucci continued, “And you know that. And I know that. These other people got the rizz. Ron’s got no rizz. And I think that’s really what Trump is going to press on as it relates to this.”

Stanford University has detected a suspicious rise in “extremely productive” academics pumping out 60 research papers a year. The Stanford study raises concerns about the quality and reliability of the science being produced.
According to the Standford data, high-yield authors in Thailand jumped from just one in 2016 to 19 in 2022. High-yield authors also rose dramatically in Saudi Arabia, increasing from six to 69 over the same period.
“I suspect that questionable research practices and fraud may underlie some of the most extreme behaviors,” said study co-author John Ioannidis. “Our data provide a starting point for discussing these issues across all science.”
There is evidence science is becoming increasingly unreliable, and may even be mostly false. Study retractions have risen by 13,650 percent in the last two decades, and now number in the thousands per year. Science is also undergoing a replication or reproducibility crisis. This means most experiments cannot be successfully repeated when attempted by other researchers.
This affects not only “soft” sciences like psychology, where over 60 percent of research cannot be repeated, but also cancer research.

Media Matters – a far-left, Soros-funded, non-profit propaganda group – has filed a lawsuit against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, claiming Paxton’s investigation into the organization is unlawful and infringes on its First Amendment rights. This comes after Paxton opened an investigation into Media Matters following its report alleging that advertisements from major companies ran beside pro-Hitler and antisemitic content on a social media platform, known as X. Following the report, heavy-weight companies including Disney, Apple, and IBM proceeded to withdraw their advertisements from the platform.
The row escalated when X executives castigated Media Matters, arguing the research technique it used to find the antisemitic content was not indicative of the average user’s platform use. X spokesmen have since assured that advertisements were not deliberately placed next to the antisemitic posts, which were subsequently demonetized. In the wake of the report, the owner of X, Elon Musk, initiated a lawsuit against Media Matters accusing the organization of unlawful interference with X’s advertiser relationships.
Now, Media Matters has launched its own lawsuit against Paxton seeking to permanently halt his investigation. The ongoing suit does not accuse Musk and Paxton of collusion but simply claims that Paxton was among several public figures who quickly supported Musk’s position. The suit also alleges that Paxton’s office demanded a wide range of documents related to Media Matters’ reporting in violation of the First and Fourteenth Amendments, as well as journalist “shield” laws in Maryland and Washington DC.

Former Trump staffer Michael Cohen’s petition for an early release from supervised custody included three cases – United States v. Figueroa-Florez, United States v. Ortiz, and United States v. Amato – which don’t even exist, explained U.S. District Judge Jesse Furman on Tuesday.
Cohen’s lawyer, David Schwartz, cited the cases for which the Court could find no records. One of the cases was even found to have an invalid docked number, leading the judge to demand Schwartz to submit copies of the stated cases by December 19th, or explain why he should not face sanctions. Judge Furman also urged further explanation regarding Cohen’s role in drafting or reviewing the motion and how it ended up with non-existent cases. Furman stated the decision on Cohen’s early termination of his supervised release would be postponed until the matters are resolved.
Cohen, once Donald Trump’s attorney and now an active critic, was sentenced to three years in prison in 2018 after confessing to lying to Congress. After serving more than a year in jail and the rest of the sentence at home, he was released in 2021, with three more years of supervised release. E. Danya Perry, as newly affiliated Cohen lawyer, told the New York Times she couldn’t verify the cited case law after conducting her private research and informed Judge Furman of the matter. There has not been any comment from Schwartz on the judge’s order. Cohen is scheduled to testify in a criminal trial brought against Trump in March.

The Heritage Foundation has reportedly filed a lawsuit against the Department of Justice (DOJ) and Special Counsel David Weiss, following their refusal to release certain records associated with the investigation into alleged illegal activities of Hunter Biden. The suit, officially submitted to the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, is asking for the enforcement of a previous Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, which was initially filed by Heritage. The FOIA request was attempting to access documents concerning the investigation of suspected violations of the Mann Act by Hunter Biden, a law prohibiting the transportation of anyone for prostitution or other immoral purposes.
According to communications between senior DOJ officials, revealed publicly in September, there are potentially nine instances implicating Biden in coordinating cross-state travel with individuals identified as prostitutes. Such actions, if confirmed, would be infringement upon the Mann Act. Specific alleged incidents include the arrangement of two escorts to travel and meet with the younger Biden in Boston, from Los Angeles and New York respectively. Hunter Biden has been charged with various tax-related offenses confirming payments to several women, one being an exotic dancer and another an escort. However, these charges did not explicitly accuse him of violating the Mann Act.
In July, Heritage submitted a FOIA request to Weiss’s office for details around potential victims relevant to the Hunter Biden investigation and any information regarding which DOJ division was managing victim issues pertaining to the same. Furthermore, the request wanted access to any communications between Weiss’s office and the U.S. Probation Office relating to the Mann Act. The Heritage Foundation’s suit claims that Weiss and DOJ’s non-compliance to release all requested records is a breach of DOJ regulations and FOIA guidelines. They are demanding that the court enforce an immediate adhesion to their request, and prevent Weiss and the DOJ from refusing this or subsequent FOIA requests.

Republican lawmakers have begun questioning the Biden government‘s $3 billion loan to solar energy company Sunnova, which has been accused of “scamming” and taking advantage of elderly dementia patients to sell long-lasting leases on solar paneling.
“We are alarmed about recent, credible reports that Sunnova has racked up numerous consumer complaints, including those alleging troubling sales practices…” wrote Chair of the Senate Republican Conference John Barrasso (R-Wyo) and Republican Chair of the House Energy and Commerce Committee Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-Wash) in a letter to the director of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Loan Programs Office, Jigar Shah.
Reports found that Sunnova has targeted vulnerable patients – including some on their deathbeds – for “multi-decade solar panel leases” costing up to $60,000. Roughly 50 complaints have been lodged against the company since last year. Some of the issues included delays to maintenance as well as “predatory sales tactics.” Another, at least, 1,000 have been filed against Sunnova in Puerto Rico.
One Texas resident stated her senile father was sold a solar system worth $60,000 despite having several months to live. He died soon after, with Sunnova placing a lien on the home, preventing any sale of the property. “My dad told [the salesman] at that time he was on hospice and dying. And basically, he wasn’t in his right mind,” his daughter explained.
As a result, both Senator Barroso and Representative Rodgers are demanding all documents relating to the loan – the largest ever made to a solar power company – and communication between the DOE and the company be turned over to them for oversight.
“These allegations are particularly troubling, as LPO has stated this program will focus on disadvantaged communities,” they added.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky informed members of the United States Senate his country may soon be forced to enact military conscription for men over the age of 40. Facing dwindling manpower and munitions, the Ukrainian president traveled to Washington, D.C. this week to lobby the U.S. government for additional military and fiscal aid – even as more-and-more Americans say the aid should come to an end.
Last week, negotiations collapsed in the U.S. Senate over a defense supplemental funding bill containing monies for Ukraine, Israel, and in-some-form U.S. border security. Opposition to continuing funding for Ukraine has been growing among Senate Republicans, with Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH), on Sunday, saying Ukraine should be willing to cede “some territory” to bring the bloody conflict to an end. Republicans in the House of Representatives, meanwhile, are standing firm on their position demanding their H.R.2 border security bill be included in any funding bill in order for the legislation to even be considered.
A failed summer counter-offensive against Russian positions in Ukraine has only deepened the country’s military manpower crisis. Since June, legislation has sat on Zelensky’s desk which would lower the war-time draft age for men with no military experience from 27 to 25. Despite passing Ukrainian parliament and receiving widespread backing from Ukrainian military leaders, Zelensky has been reticent to sign legislation in what some see as a tacit acknowledgement his country has lost the war.
While Zelensky is focusing efforts to shore up Ukraine’s dwindling support abroad, the Ukrainian president is facing increasing scrutiny and criticism at home. The National Pulse previously reported Vitali Klitschko, the former boxing heavyweight champion turned Mayor of Kiev, recently accused Zelensky of “authoritarian tendencies” while warning: “At some point we will no longer be any different from Russia.”

The daughter of the New York Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan – a Democrat titan in American politics – says if City College of New York (CCNY) won’t work to curb pro-Hamas and anti-Semiticdemonstrations, they should remove her father’s name from the school’s Moynihan Center.
Maura Moynihan, writing in the NY Post, argues the CCNY administration’s toleration of “…dangerous anti-American and antisemitic ideologies is capitulation to and collusion with those ideologies, which Amb. Moynihan and his wife Liz would find abhorrent and shameful.”
“I sent several emails to the directors of CCNY’s new Moynihan Center at the Colin Powell School for Civic and Global Leadership requesting a public statement condemning this dangerous hate speech,” Moynihan wrote regarding the pro-Hamas and anti-semitic demonstrations on campus, adding: “Not a single CCNY official replied.”
During his time, Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan was an outspoken opponent of anti-Semitism. In 1975, while serving as the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, Moynihan vociferously opposed the organization’s adoption of the Resolution 3379 which declared Zionism a form of racism. “[The United States] does not acknowledge, it will not abide by, it will never acquiesce in this infamous act,” Moynihan said at the U.N. General Assembly.
Prior to his election to the United States Senate, Moynihan served in the Kennedy, Johnson, and Nixon administrations – early on demonstrating his cross-partisan appeal. In the Senate, Daniel Patrick Moynihan was a fierce advocate for New Yorkers – often using earmarks to ensure federal dollars flowed back to the state. When Sen. Kit Bond (R-MO) took exception with an earmark Moynihan had inserted in the Federal Highway Bill, it was reported Moynihan slugged Bond on the Senate floor.

Federal investigators probing the 2020 presidential election reportedly obtained phone records from the White House, one of which belongs to former President Donald J. Trump, revealed in a late Monday court filing by special counsel Jack Smith. The disclosure suggests the records could serve as evidence in the forthcoming trial.
A so-called “Expert 3”, who analyzed phone usage during the post-election period, may testify about the findings. These likely include when phone was unlocked and had active Twitter engagement on January 6.
The unnamed technical witness also reviewed digital data such as images and website history from the ex-president’s phone and another owned by an individual, identified as Trump’s former lawyer and former Mayor of New York, Rudy Giuliani.
Trump faces four criminal charges, including a conspiracy to defraud the U.S. He pleaded not guilty to all counts. Giuliani, named as “Individual 1” in the indictment, remains uncharged.
Extent of Analysis.
However, it remains unclear to what extent Smith had access to Trump’s phones. He admits in the filing to using images, websites, and locations on Google. But he does not suggest whether he accessed communications or anything else usually protected by executive privilege.
It is also uncertain whether the information implicated Trump directly. The former President’s phones were often managed by others including his social media manager, Deputy Chief of Staff Dan Scavino.
Details in the court document come in response to a query about expert witnesses for the trial scheduled to begin March 4, 2024. Two additional digital data experts may testify, revealing patterns in the movement of crowds on January 6.
This is not the first time Trump’s phone usage has been part of inquiry into his post-election actions. Internal White House records show a 7-hour, 37-minute gap in Trump’s official phone logs on the day of the Capitol building breach.

Conservative lawmaker Bob Seely has presented a bill aimed at stripping Prince Harry and his wife Meghan of their royal titles. Having abandoned their roles as “working royals” in order to pursue money-making ventures, Seely believes they should be “Mr and Mrs like the rest of us.”
“My Titles Deprivation 1917 Act Amendment Bill would allow a vote in Parliament to advise the ancient advisory Privy Council to strip a member of the royal family of their titles,” Seely explained.
“My aim is simple: if someone doesn’t want to be royal, that is a decision we respect – but they should not keep the titles and privileges if they trash an institution that plays an important part in our nation’s life.”
Harry and Meghan have not quietly stepped away from public life, instead aggressively pursuing celebrity careers. These have been fueled in large part by a steady drip of allegations against Harry’s family. Most recently, Harry and Meghan’s pet journalist Omid Scobie published a book in which King Charles III and Prince William’s wife Catherine were accused of speculating about the color of the couple’s son Archie in a racist way.
Meghan has a black mother and a white father. Her children both turned out to be white.
