Kamala Harris’ husband is panicking after exposing himself on social media;
Vice President Harris has enough problems without her husband making things worse. But unfortunately for her, that’s not how the cookie crumbles.
And Kamala Harris’ husband is panicking after exposing himself on social media.
Doug Emhoff, Vice President Kamala Harris’ husband, mangled the Hanukkah story in a social media post so terribly that he removed it, but not before social media pundits pounced.
Emhoff, a Jewish man, posted a photo of himself and Harris lighting a menorah on X, adding, “The story of Hanukkah and the story of the Jewish people has always been one of hope and resilience.”
Wait you're telling me Doug Emhoff doesn't know anything about Judaism I can't believe it I'm totally shocked I'm stunn- https://t.co/tJ5JXfZ192

He goes on to say, “In the Hanukkah story, the Jewish people were forced into hiding.”
However, that is not part of the story of Hanukkah.
Emhoff added, “No one thought they would survive or that the few drops of oil they had would last. But they survived and the oil kept burning.”
Doug Emhoff deleted this, which is not the story of Hanukkah, the Maccabean Revolt depicted in the Bible https://t.co/hhMd38OPMd pic.twitter.com/kvs1UikYOx

Hanukkah commemorates the rededication of the Temple in Jerusalem after it was desecrated by the Assyrians in the second century.
After defeating the more formidable Assyrian army, the Maccabees wished to rededicate and consecrate the Temple, but they only had enough oil for one day.
The fact that the oil lasted for eight days is still honored today.
Doug Emhoff’s history is one where he never sent this tweet pic.twitter.com/SigZ0kUnrt
— Eli Steinberg (@HaMeturgeman) December 12, 2023
Emhoff continued his inaccurate version writing, “During those eight days in hiding, they recited their prayers and continued their traditions. That’s why Hanukkah means dedication. It was during those dark nights that the Maccabees dedicated themselves to maintaining hope and faith in the oil, each other, and their Judaism,” noting that he thinks of the story during “dark times.”
Emhoff is now working with the administration to combat antisemitism in the United States.
Though apparently he can’t even get his own religion correct.
But is that any surprise coming from someone associated with this administration?
Just look at Joe Biden and his supposed “devout” Catholicism.
Meanwhile, he peddles social agendas that are anathema to his church.
Ideology is greater than religion to them.

Federal prosecutor [Lesley Wolf] behind years-long Hunter Biden probe quietly leaves post at DOJ:
As Hunter Biden's legal problems and associated congressional scrutiny continue to heat up, word has emerged that a federal prosecutor accused of running interference for President Joe Biden and his family has quietly left her position at the Department of Justice, as the New York Post reports.
Lesley Wolf, a former assistant U.S. attorney in Delaware, sat for a deposition on Thursday with the House Judiciary Committee, and it was then that news of her change in employment status was revealed.
Wolf's involvement in the long-running Hunter Biden probe came to the forefront earlier this year when a pair of IRS whistleblowers testified that she was instrumental in blocking certain lines of questioning and investigation that could have put the first son or his father at increased legal exposure.
As Fox News reported back in July, one such whistleblower, IRS supervisor Gary Shapley, Jr., asserted that “at every stage” of the years-long probe of Hunter Biden, decisions -- including those made by Wolf -- “had the effect of benefitting” Joe Biden's son.
Shapley testified that Wolf endeavored to “limit” lines of inquiry with the potential to implicate Joe Biden and sought to prevent any references to “dad” or “the big guy” in relation to Hunter Biden's conduct.
The whistleblower also contended that back in October of 2020, an affidavit was presented to Wolf for a search warrant of Hunter Biden's home, and while she reportedly “agreed that probable cause had been achieved,” she declined to proceed any further.
Shapley said Wolf was not convinced that “the juice was worth the squeeze” in terms of the fallout that could result for Joe Biden.
Wolf was said to have explained that “optics were a driving factor in the decision on whether to execute a search warrant,” and though she believed that “a lot of evidence in our investigation would be found in the guest house of former Vice President Biden,” she declared “there is no way we will get that approved.”
As the Post noted, investigators also learned in late 2020 that Wolf contacted Hunter Biden's defense lawyers and tipped them off to a planned search of their client's storage unit in Virginia, known to contain business records.
Whistleblower Joseph Ziegler said that this was another instance of Wolf “circumventing our chance to get evidence from potentially being destroyed, manipulated, or concealed.”
Other alleged instances of Wolf's interference included her insistence on removing search warrant language referencing “Political Figure 1,” said to be Joe Biden, and the denial of Shapley and Ziegler's efforts to secure cellphone geolocation data to establish whether he was with Hunter Biden when the latter sent a text message to a Chinese businessman threatening retaliation in the absence of cooperation with previously agreed terms of a deal between the two.
The precise date and circumstances of Wolf's departure from the DOJ remain unknown, and representatives from Special Counsel David Weiss's office offered no immediate response to a request for comment from the Post.
The efforts of Wolf and others at the Justice Department to grease the wheels for Hunter Biden were arguably calculated to result in the expiration of the statute of limitations on multiple potential tax charges that would likely have required greater scrutiny of Joe Biden, an outcome legal expert Jonathan Turley, seems to think is otherwise “inexplicable.”
“The whistleblowers have said they had a deal on the table that would have allowed that statute of limitations to be extended,” Turley noted, adding, “I can't imagine the rationale for allowing felonies to expire in the middle of an investigation. Maybe [Wolf] can, because I can't think of one.”

Freeland is NOT living up to her NAME... CANADA is not a FREE-LAND... and she is making it even more EXPENSIVE to live here! {This is UN-FAIR}
Tucked into the 500-page Notice of Ways and Means Motion Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland released last month is an insidious measure that urgently needs to be withdrawn. First announced as part of Budget 2023, it imposes an additional $3 billion of federal income tax on “financial institutions” over the next five years. We all know how popular financial institutions are. A tax imposed on big banks and insurance companies will appeal to many people. But who really will pay this tax is: everyone — despite the government’s cynical attempt to try to convince us all that someone else will ultimately bear its burden.
It is a fundamental principle of Canadian income taxation that corporate profits should be taxed only once at the corporate level, which is why dividends paid from those after-tax profits by one corporation to another are normally not taxed again in the recipient corporation. That would be double taxation of the same corporate profits, which is both unfair and inefficient.
The technical mechanism for eliminating this form of double taxation is the “dividends received deduction.” It works like this: Corporation A earns $100 of profits and pays tax on them of $25. It then pays a dividend of $75 out of its after-tax profits. If the dividend is paid to Corporation B, there is no additional corporate tax on the dividend: Corporation B claims the “dividends received deduction.”
If there were no such deduction, Corporation B would have taxable income of $75, and thus a tax liability of $18.75. If it then paid its after-tax profits (i.e., $75 – $18.75 = $56.25) as a dividend to Corporation C, then Corporation C would have taxable income of that amount, and a third (yes, third!) layer of corporate tax would arise, equal to roughly $14. Together, the three layers of corporate tax would impose tax of $57.75 on the original $100 of profit. That’s an unfair and uncompetitive rate of corporate income tax. And there’s no reason it couldn’t go to a fourth or fifth layer, paring away the profit almost down to zero.
Avoiding multiple taxation of the same income is why it’s important that the dividends received deduction should be available when financial institutions receive dividends. When dividends are paid to individual taxpayers they have access to the “dividend tax credit,” which gives them a credit for the tax already paid at the corporate level, thus preventing double taxation of the same income. Both the “dividends received deduction” for corporations and the “dividend tax credit” for individuals are necessary to eliminate double or even multiple taxation on the same underlying corporate profits.
In contrast to this logical and coherent approach, legislation now at second reading in the House of Commons would require dividends received by financial institutions from other corporations to be taxed a second time.
In theory, this measure targets the financial institutions that receive the dividends. But in reality who will bear the burden of this double taxation? Everyone. Financial institutions don’t just swallow higher taxes. They do their best to pass them along. The result is higher banking costs and insurance premiums and lower returns to savings. Adding further stress on the financial system is undesirable at a time when it will translate into stress around the dinner table, as families struggle to meet rising mortgage obligations.
The financial system is a critical social infrastructure that allows millions of us to borrow from and lend to each other and to share risks with the help of professional and competent financial intermediaries. All funding is in a sense crowd-funding, but funding arranged through the infrastructure of the formal financial system delivers efficiencies that benefit everyone. Any tax on financial institutions is a hidden tax on depositors, borrowers, holders of insurance policies, pensioners and savers, as well as business customers. In brief, a tax on everything and everyone.
We all have to pay tax. Public services need to be paid for. But this type of selective double taxation of the financial system and of corporate profits is cynical. In the real world, it simply cannot be true for everyone that someone else will bear the burdens of taxation. Magical thinking of that sort distorts perceptions and expectations and undermines our collective social contract. In the real world, somebody – some real person – will ultimately bear the burden of the tax. Since financial intermediation represents critical social infrastructure, rather than some niche product or service that caters only to the few, tax burdens imposed on that sector will inevitably be borne by everybody.
This measure should be withdrawn.

House Moves to Impeach Biden:
In a 221-212 vote, the House of Representatives voted on a resolution to produce a formal inquiry into the impeachment of Joe Biden. Every Republican supported the measure. Perhaps those in the middle had a change of heart after Biden invited Zelensky back to Washington to tell politicians how they should vote and spend their money. His son Hunter’s ongoing case is only revealing the depths of Joe Biden’s corruption.
New House Speaker Mike Johnson has made good on his promise to clean up Washinton. He helped to release tens of thousands of hours of footage from January 6 that has been kept from the public. Republicans now have 35,000 pages of the Biden’s personal financial records, 36 hours of witness interviews, and 2,000 pages of records from the Treasury Department. It is astonishing that the establishment claims there is no evidence of wrongdoing.
Some may recall the video above from 2016 where Biden brags about wielding unlimited power. In the clip, Biden admits that he has Ukrainian Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin fired for investigating Burisma, where his son was allegedly employed. Biden bribed Ukraine by withholding US aid until the prosecutor was fired. In this odd world, Donald Trump was actually reprimanded for simply questioning Biden’s bribery scheme.
Flight records show that Hunter flew on Air Force Two over 400 times while his dad was in office. There are countless emails and text messages to Hunter Biden asking him to give their best to his father or thanking him for introducing them to his famous father. There are messages between business associates reminding them not to bring up Joe Biden’s name.
“Don’t mention Joe being involved, it’s only when u are face to face, I know u know that but they are paranoid,” one message read. We have Hunter’s WhatsApp messages where he uses his father’s name to secure business deals using threats. ““I will make certain that between the man sitting next to me and every person he knows and my ability to forever hold a grudge that you will regret not following my direction,” the message read. The laptop from hell provided prosecutors with a treasure chest of evidence against Joe Biden.
The laptop contains the infamous email from a Chinese energy company executive from CEFC where they discuss how much to pay off each Biden, including “10% held by H for the big guy.” Tony Bobulinski who was involved in that deal has confirmed that Joe Biden was “the big guy.” There is even a paper trail leading back to Joe Biden provided by the only bank willing to work with GOP investigation committees.
Cathay Bank revealed that Rob Walker, a Biden family associate, received a $3 million payment from a Chinese firm. Walker distributed these funds to the Bidens the following day. The alleged payments were made to Hunter Biden for $610,692; the president’s brother James Biden for $360,000; Hunter’s mistress and wife of deceased son Beau, Hallie Biden, for $25,000; last of all, $70,000 was paid to an unknown Biden. Twelve additional transactions are currently under investigation.
The POTUS has been compromised, and the powerful elite will not let him fall. The FBI has obstructed US law to protect Joe Biden from persecution. We know without a doubt that the FBI purposely spread misinformation regarding the Steele Dossier hoax. The FBI threatened social media platforms ahead of the 2020 US Election to prevent them from allowing any discussion of Hunter Biden’s laptop, which contains his illegal dealings in Ukraine, Romania, and China. The FBI is a completely corrupt agency that has become Biden’s personal Gestapo.
Time will tell if the US legal system actually impeached Joe Biden. There are likely other impeachable offenses not listed, such as increasing America’s population by 20% by allowing a deliberate invasion at the southern border. The evidence is overwhelming, as are the consequences of selling out the nation to the highest bidder.

Tucker Carlson is making a bold and daring move by strategically positioning Tucker Carlson Network (TCN) trucks directly outside prominent news companies such as The New York Times, CNN, and The Washington Post.
TCN is the most recent undertaking by the esteemed broadcaster. Positioned as a streaming platform, its objective is to provide unique material created by Tucker Carlson himself.
“Corporate media is dead,” the trucks’ advertisements read alongside an image of Carlson.

Trump Celebrates Yet Another Game-Changing Victory Over Jack Smith:
The United States Supreme Court on Wednesday granted a writ of certiorari to review an appeal on former President Donald Trump’s claim of presidential immunity in the ongoing prosecution led by Special Counsel Jack Smith and overseen by DC Federal Judge Tanya Chutkan. In the evening, the Trump team commenced their celebration.
According to Steven Cheung, a spokesperson of the Trump campaign, “This is a big win for President Trump and our rule of law, as it derails Deranged Jack Smith’s rush to judgment strategy of interfering in the 2024 Presidential Election in support of Joe Biden’s campaign.”
Cheung went on,
“They waited almost three years to bring this hoax ‘case’ and are now desperately trying, and failing, to rush it because they know President Trump is dominating the election.”
HUGE NEWS: The Supreme Court will take up the case of Fischer v. United States, which deals with the misapplication of ‘obstruction of an official proceeding’ charges to J6 cases.
This could result in a major victory for Donald Trump if the court strikes down the DOJ’s charges… pic.twitter.com/ZillRZtsW5

The spokesperson for Trump asserted that “The Constitution should not be suspended in a baseless prosecution against the leading candidate for President. The American people, not the courts, should decide who becomes president, and they are supporting President Trump in historic numbers.”
The Supreme Court’s opinion enforces a ‘Stay’ order on the proceedings against former President Trump. However, it does not prevent or alleviate the gag order that is still in effect, despite certain changes, nor does it exempt him from complying with any current subpoenas or discovery obligations.
Nevertheless, Judge Chutkan issued an order, acquired by The Western Journal, acknowledging the consequences of the Supreme Court’s decision to accept the case. The order stated, “Defendant’s appeal automatically stays any further proceedings that would move this case towards trial or impose additional burdens of litigation on Defendant.” She stated that the verdict “STAYS the deadlines and proceedings scheduled by its Pretrial Order, as amended.”
CNN legal analyst Elie Honig explained earlier this week the potential risks that Smith has taken by submitting the petition for a writ of certiorari to the Supreme Court, as well as the weakness of the case regarding the former President.

The case has the potential to not only undermine Trump’s ongoing prosecution for election involvement but also the convictions and ongoing trials of other demonstrators involved in the events of January 6th. On December 4th, NBC reported that the Supreme Court Justices will now review three appeals from defendants Joseph Fischer, Edward Lang, and Garret Miller. These appeals pertain to the accusation of “obstructing an official proceeding,” which Trump is also accused of.
Fischer, Lang, and Miller are attempting to have the accusation against them dropped on the grounds that it is an excessive application of 18 U.S.C. 1512(c)(2), which pertains to intentional actions aimed at unlawfully obstructing, influencing, or impeding any official legal process. President Joe Biden’s administration, through the Justice Department, has expanded the definition of “official proceeding” to encompass congressional meetings.
In a post to X, Byron York, the Chief political correspondent for the Washington Examiner, highlighted that the specific provision of the legislation being discussed commonly pertains to the modification, destruction, disfigurement, or hiding of a “record, document, or other object.”
The issue at hand pertains to the Biden Department of Justice’s endeavor to broaden the definition of the term “corruptly” to include involvement in a demonstration that resulted in significant negative consequences.
Special counsel Jack Smith has taken the extraordinary step of directly appealing to the US Supreme Court to ascertain whether former President Donald Trump can be prosecuted for purported crimes committed while he in office. This will be the first instance in which the Supreme Court will examine the possibility of prosecuting a former president.
The Supreme Court promptly approved Special Counsel Jack Smith’s request for accelerated review on Monday, demonstrating the uniqueness of the case.
Supervising two investigations into Trump’s behavior, Smith implored the court to promptly make a ruling on Trump’s exemption from federal prosecution. The court has granted a review and has imposed a deadline for Trump’s legal team to provide a response. Nevertheless, the justices have not provided any indication regarding their schedule or approach.
Trump is set to undergo a trial in March 2024 for his alleged involvement in a scheme to reverse the results of the 2020 election. Smith’s direct petition to the Supreme Court seeks to circumvent lower courts and uphold the set trial date.
Smith underscored the importance of the case, raising doubts about whether a former president enjoys complete immunity and asserting that only the court has the authority to definitively resolve these assertions. Trump is confronted with several counts, including the improper management of secret material after his presidency, in addition to the indictment related to the 2020 election.
In a statement, Trump expressed anger and frustration in reaction to Smith’s petition, characterizing it as a “hail Mary.”
“Crooked Joe Biden’s henchman, Deranged Jack Smith, is so obsessed with interfering in the 2024 Presidential Election, with the goal of preventing President Trump from retaking the Oval Office, as the President is poised to do, that Smith is willing to try for a Hail Mary by racing to the Supreme Court and attempting to bypass the Appellate Process,” conveyed a representative speaking on behalf of Trump.
“There is absolutely no reason to rush this sham to trial except to injure President Trump and tens of millions of his supporters.” [The Political Signal]

must make up YOUR OWN MIND
==================
SUMMARY:
Note: It is my personal opinion that the Ten Days of Media Darkness will include ten days of exchange/redemption for us in Tier4b, the Internet Group who have purchased foreign currencies and Zim Bonds.
According to Q’s latest post, those ten days would start around midnight on Fri. 15 Dec. and end Christmas Day 25 Dec.
During the Ten Days of Darkness all Mass Media TV and radio programming will be taken down, while eight-hour documentaries will be broadcast 24/7 on the new Star Link Satellite System. Through those documentaries the public will be introduced to the new Global Financial System and educated on the Mass arrests and Military Tribunals of Global and Political Elites.
On that same Fri. 15 Dec. The people of the World would switch to the new Global Financial System where all bank accounts would no longer be under control of Cabal’s Central Banks. Individuals would have complete privacy and control of their monies and bank accounts functioning through the new Star Link Satellites.
Tier 4b would obtain access to the new Global Financial System through their foreign currency exchange/Zim Bond redemption appointments at Redemption Centers.
Beginning Jan. 1 2024 the General Public would also be invited to go to Redemption Centers to obtain access to the new financial system.
This is only my opinion.
