A CORNERED RAT CAN STILL BE DANGEROUS:
If the dems calling for insurrection doesn't tell you how desperate they are after losing the shutdown battle and whatever little leverage they had left, I can't help you. The Resistance is dead. It's dead, Jim. It's so dead, that the dems are now calling for a revolt and…

SPACE: James Webb telescope may have found the first stars in the universe, new study claims. “The stars’ spectra, which show their composition based on the light they absorb and emit, had emission lines suggesting lots of high-energy photons, which is consistent with Population III predictions. The spectra also suggested the stars are very large — each on the order of 100 solar masses — and the mass of the stars met some theoretical calculations.”

The kids are definitely not all right. After Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer led the Democrats into a government shutdown showdown that they weren’t going to win in any of the alternative universes they occupy, some are looking to shake things up.”

THEY’RE JUST DOING THE TRAFFICKING JOBS AMERICANS WON’T DO: Deported Couple Accused Of Running ‘Barbaric’ Sex Ring After Sneaking Back Into US.
A husband and wife duo accused of running a sophisticated sex ring in Louisiana are previously deported illegal migrants with lengthy rap sheets.
Murillo Lazano-Vargas and Zabdi Danea Guzman-Diaz were apprehended by the East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Office earlier in November on charges related to the promotion of prostitution, human trafficking by force and pandering, according to local outlet WAFB. The married couple are Mexican nationals who are not only living in the U.S. unlawfully, but had already been deported from the country before returning to allegedly launch their illicit brothel enterprise, according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
“On November 6, ICE Homeland Security Investigations executed a search and arrest warrant for a human trafficking and sexual exploitation investigation,” a DHS spokesperson stated to the Daily Caller News Foundation. “HSI Law enforcement rescued three victims of these barbaric criminals.”
Plus: “The back-to-back sex ring busts follow GOP Gov. Jeff Landry’s signing of a partnership agreement with ICE earlier this year that empowers Louisiana law enforcement agencies to enforce federal immigration laws.”

YES, PLEASE: SCOTUS Must Stop Mail-In Voting Madness.
One of the suppurating sores that still bedevil our body politic in the aftermath of COVID-19 is the ongoing abuse of mail-in voting. Absentee ballots have long been available to a small number of voters, of course. But, during the pandemic, many states used public safety as a pretext to dramatically expand eligibility for mail-in voting and to extend the deadlines for receiving these ballots. Now, at least 30 states continue to count such votes long after Election Day has come and gone. This inevitably creates concerns about election integrity. Consequently, it was only a matter of time before the U.S. Supreme Court would be required to decide if post-election vote counting violates federal law.
This is why the Court quietly added Watson v. Republican National Committee to its docket last week. In 2020, Mississippi passed “emergency” legislation requiring election officials to accept absentee ballots “postmarked on or before the date of the election and received by the registrar no more than five (5) business days after the election.” Long after the pandemic had ended, Mississippi inexplicably made that post-election deadline permanent. Thus, in 2024, the RNC and the Mississippi Republican Party went to federal court to challenge the statute. The U.S. district court judge ruled against them.
The RNC subsequently won, however, in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. Mississippi appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court, which agreed to take up the case.
We’re an international laughingstock, unable to tally our own election results while blue staters magically find whatever ballots they need, taking as long as they like.
