THE MULLAHS CAN’T HAVE NUKES, PERIOD: Iran steps up arrests, floats ‘diluting’ its enriched uranium as Netanyahu heads to US. “The arrests — including that of Javad Emam, the spokesperson for the country’s main reformist coalition — came after Iranian and US officials held talks in Oman that both sides painted as positive. And they came on the eve of a visit to Washington by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, where he will reportedly brief US President Donald Trump about Israeli intelligence on Iran.”
THIS IS THE WAY:

Yes. The evidence that Donald Trump was a Federal informant in the Epstein case has been trickling out for a couple of years now. I am too libertarian to be MAGA and by no means Donald… https://t.co/YZse9W7hwj

Exit quote: “Absolutely brilliant move by Trump not to exculpate himself by saying in public ‘I helped the law take Epstein down.’ Now his enemies are in so deep that all of their choices are horribly self-destructive.”
That’s been Trump’s MO since he entered politics over a decade ago, yet his enemies still never learn.

AREC BARRWIN? What North Korea Is Really Afraid Of. “In 2020, North Korea introduced the Anti-Reactionary Thought and Culture Act, which describes anything that comes from South Korea as ‘rotten ideology that paralyzes the people’s revolutionary sense.’ Anyone found with the media in their possession can be sentenced to five to fifteen years in a labor camp, and anyone who distributes it or organizes a viewing is subject to the death penalty.”

YES, PLEASE: When It Comes to Climate and Energy, Let’s Retire the Politics of Fear.
Sometimes it feels like the climate change crusaders are oblivious to everything going on around them. For decades, they’ve been resorting to the same tired strategies to convince us that doom and gloom are just around the corner if we don’t change our ways. What they ignore is that their tactics aren’t working – more people than ever are tuning them out.
Americans in particular have grown wise to the predictions that don’t come true and the demands that don’t make sense. In fact, so badly has science become blatantly politicized that the number of people who have a great amount of trust in science keeps shrinking.
That fact was backed up by a recent Pew Research Center report that found that “Americans’ confidence in scientists remains lower than it was prior to the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.” To many of us, it is now obvious that the inconsistent guidance on Covid and many pandemic edicts that were later found to be ineffective and even misleading demonstrated that science was not above being overtly politicized.
While the Pew study noted a Democrat-Republican disparagement regarding trust in science (Democrats trust it more, Republicans less), only 28 percent of all U.S. adults said they have “a great deal” of confidence in scientists “to act in the public’s best interest.”
It didn’t used to be that way — and it wasn’t the public that changed.
PLEASE OH PLEASE LET HER RUN AGAIN: Even MS NOW Mocks Kamala Harris’s ‘Headquarters’ Reboot. “When you’re a Democrat who’s lost MS NOW… no, wait… when you’re a female Democrat who’s lost MS NOW [record scratch] OK, last try… when you’re a female Democrat of color and MS NOW sees right through your latest B.S. [there it is!] then it’s obvious to everybody but you that you’re not only drowning, but that new life preserver you just bought is actually a boat anchor.”
UGH: OpenAI will reportedly start testing ads in ChatGPT.
A source close to the situation tells CNBC that OpenAI “expects ads to make up less than half of its revenue long term.” Last week, Anthropic showed off a Super Bowl commercial poking fun at OpenAI, saying “ads are coming to AI,” but not to its AI chatbot Claude. The version of the ad that aired during the game was a little less direct after OpenAI CEO Sam Altman called the campaign “clearly dishonest.”
OpenAI will show ads to logged-in users who use the app for free or subscribe to its cheaper Go subscription. The company says it will “keep your conversations with ChatGPT private from advertisers,” but notes that the ads will still be “optimized based on what’s most helpful to you.” Advertisers won’t have an impact on ChatGPT’s answers, according to OpenAI.
OpenAI might not share your conversations, but they’ll surely sell your most confidential data to optimize those ads.
KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: Fly Me to the Moon — Elon Musk Says, ‘YES!’ “To the lay space exploration enthusiasts like me, a lot of what NASA did after the Apollo 17 mission felt like backwards steps. The sclerotic NASA bureaucratic structure was responsible for both the Challenger and Columbia space shuttle disasters. NASA’s recent focus on getting a manned mission back to the moon almost 60 years after that was first accomplished has a sort of Groundhog Day feel to it.”
CONSTITUENT SERVICE: Why is California Protecting 33,179 Criminal Illegal Aliens in its Prisons and Jails?
ICE Acting Director Todd Lyons just slammed California Attorney General Rob Bonta with a demand letter: stop playing games with Americans’ lives and start honoring ICE detainers for the over 33,000 criminal illegal aliens rotting in your jails — including cold-blooded murderers, child predators, rapists, and drug traffickers.
Time will tell if California’s insane sanctuary policies will win out in this high-profile case of the rule of law versus virtue-signaling politicians like Bonta and Gavin Newsom. Of course, we know that the innocent citizens of California will be the real victims if the illegals aren’t taken into custody and given a free plane ride out of the country.
So far, though, Newsom and his fellow travelers are winning this battle. In just the past couple of weeks, they’ve turned loose 4,561 criminal illegal aliens. These are people who have 31 homicides, 661 assaults, 574 burglaries, 184 robberies, 1,489 dangerous drug offenses, 379 weapons offenses, and 234 sexual predatory offenses on their rap sheets. It’s a pretty safe bet they haven’t suddenly turned their lives around and given their hearts over to Jesus while they were briefly in custody.
Indeed.

DISPATCHES FROM THE BLUE ZONES: Teen athlete says she was sexually violated by trans wrestler – and the school district did nothing.
A couple of minutes into the 190-pound bout, Kallie found herself face down on the mat – with her opponent’s arm between her legs and fingers pressing into her vagina. Hard.
What happened – and didn’t happen – in the two months that followed highlights the extent to which public school districts in Washington state will go to to protect trans athletes at the expense of girls – and even at the expense of following the law.
Video taken by Kallie’s mom on December 6 captures the disgust and panic in Kallie’s face. She tries to mouth something to her mom: “Her fingers are in my (vagina).”
Her mom can’t make out what she’s saying and is on the wrong side of the mat to see what’s happening to her daughter. The referee is also out of the line of sight.
“I don’t know what she said. I don’t know why her face looked like that,” her mom can be heard saying to someone off camera.
Traumatized and confused, Kallie decided to let her opponent pin her.
“I just wanted the match to be over,” the teen told me, her hands grasping together. I could tell she felt awkward even talking about it.
After the match, Kallie immediately told her mom what happened.
“I couldn’t find my coach,” she said. “There were other matches going on.”
As she waited for a break in action to inform her coach of what she felt like was an intentional sexual assault, a coach from an opposing team came up to her and told her something that would make the ordeal even worse.
Kallie’s opponent was a biological boy.
Keep predators out — out of women’s sports, locker rooms, all of it.
