Let’s see what mischief our fellow earthlings have gotten themselves into this week. Satire, Memes and Mayhem. Nonsense and animals as well. Time to take a break from the madness. For politics page down and/or check top posts at the right side of the page.
I will close out the post with some background Christmas music. I play it on my flat screen, and offers a bit of the Christmas spirit. Long playing. Watch it in full screen.
The Director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration admitted she knew about the fraud in a hearing last week.
Make no mistake. The federal government is partnering with NGOs to commit felonies including immigration fraud, drug trafficking, human trafficking, child trafficking and labor trafficking.
Meanwhile Biden is rushing to sell off the border wall materials as scrap that he left rotting when disbanding the wall, even though the Texas Governor had been trying to buy it for years.
At last week’s House Judiciary Committee hearing, Rep. Wesley Hunt (R-TX) questioned Ur Jaddou, Director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.
The CHNV Program migrant program and its corruption was blasted wide open at a hearing. What is the CHNV Program?
On January 6, 2023, the Biden Administration opened a humanitarian parole program allowing certain nationals from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela (CHNV) to apply for entry to the U.S. for a temporary stay of up to two years. All individuals admitted through the CHNV program must have a U.S.-based supporter, pass security vetting, and meet other criteria. Parole is not an immigration status.
During the two-year parole period, individuals may seek humanitarian relief or other immigration benefits, if they are eligible, and work during that time. In August 2024, following a temporary program pause and as a part of an internal review, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) added enhanced vetting measures for U.S.-based supporters.
In January 2023, the Administration committed to accepting 30,000 beneficiaries a month from across the four countries, raising the cap on a previous parole program solely for Venezuelan beneficiaries. Within the first six months of launching the program, over 35,000 Cubans, 50,000 Haitians, 21,500 Nicaraguans, and 48,500 Venezuelans came to the U.S. through the program. As of August 2024, almost 530,000 people have been granted parole through the CHNV program, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
(Note we are talking about Supporters, Not migrants themselves. The likely so-called sponsors of the up to 500,000 missing children.)
Rep Andy Biggs confronts Immigration Official about fraud taking place and she admits SHE KNEW about this: – The same social security number was used on at least 20 different CHNV supporter applications – This HAPPENED 3200 TIMES – CHNV (Is the processes for Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans) –
“Nearly 2,000 times you had the same email address used on 20 different supporter applications – The same exact 184 word text response to a question on the supporter application was used on more than 1800 such applications by nearly 190 different CHNV supporters (literally copy and pasting applications) –
More than 460 non-existent zip codes were used on supporter applications on behalf of more than 2,800 CHNV aliens – 2024 DHS had approved more than 80,000 CHNV supporters who were on in the US on a temporary basis – 224 CHNV parolees approved as CHNV supporters. (Continues after video)
170 additional parolees, non-CHNV approved as CHNV supporters – 28,322 temporary protected status holders approved as CHNV supporters – 19,865 SLEs approved as CHNV supporters – 311 DACA recipients approved as CHNV supporters – 1,300 plus aliens in the U.S. on temporary visas approved as CHNV supporters –
64 refugees approved as CHNV supporters – 1912 conditional permanent residents approved as CHMV supporters
When do governments officials start going to prison for this?

‘Pure sabotage’: Joe Biden’s Administration slammed for auctioning off border wall parts
Here is the Daily Wire posting on X
EXCLUSIVE: Weeks before Trump takes office, Biden is racing to auction off unused border wall materials.

Biden and Blinken are doing all that they can to counter Trump’s plans and agenda to the detriment of the U.S. Interests in resolving conflicts. None speaks to it more than what Biden and what Blinken did regarding Iran after Trump won the November election. Let me throw in the latest in trinkets given to Ukraine as well.
The Biden-Harris administration waived sanctions on Iran three days after the November election, providing Tehran access upward of $10 billion in once-frozen funds, according to a copy of the non-public order transmitted to Congress and reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken determined on November 8 that “it is in the national security interest of the United States” to waive mandatory economic sanctions that bar Iraq from transferring upward of $10 billion to Iran in electricity import payments.
The Biden-Harris administration has renewed the waiverrepeatedly over the objections of congressional Republicans, who warned that the cash helped fuel terrorism and Iran’s war against Israel. In one case, the administration signed off on the sanctions relief one month after Hamas’s October 7 attack on Israel.
The State Department confirmed last week that it issued the waiver.
“We remain committed to reducing Iran’s malign influence in the region,” State Department deputy spokesman Vedant Patel told reporters during a briefing. “Our viewpoint is that a stable, sovereign, and secure Iraq is critical to these efforts.”
Moving on to Ukraine-
WASHINGTON, Dec 10 (Reuters) – The U.S. Treasury Department on Tuesday said it transferred the $20 billion U.S. portion of a $50 billion G7 loan for Ukraine to a World Bank intermediary fund for economic and financial aid to the war-torn country.
The Treasury Department said the disbursement makes good on its October commitment to match the European Union’s commitment to provide $20 billion in aid backed by frozen Russian sovereign assets alongside smaller loans from Britain, Canada and Japan to help the Eastern European nation fight Russia’s invasion.
The disbursement prior to President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration in January is aimed at protecting the funds from being clawed back by his administration. Trump has complained that the U.S. is providing too much aid to Ukraine and said he will end the war quickly, without specifying how.
The $50 billion in credit for 30 years will be serviced with the interest proceeds from some $300 billion in frozen Russian sovereign assets that have been immobilized since Russia invaded in February 2022. The G7 democracies have been discussing the plan for months and agreed on terms in October, prior to Trump’s election. (End)
Of course this has outraged Russia. Add to the news yesterday of more of our latest missiles landing in inside Russia with Putin announcing revenge.
The Pentagon has issued a stern warning about Russia’s potential launch of the experimental Oreshnik intermediate-range ballistic missile against Ukraine in the coming days. Pentagon spokeswoman Sabrina Singh stated that while the Oreshnik is not expected to alter the battlefield dynamics, it underscores Russia’s intent to intimidate Ukraine with its full arsenal.
This development comes amid heightened tensions as the US bolsters Ukraine’s defenses with nearly $1 billion in security aid and relaxes restrictions on long-range weapon usage.
Meanwhile, Russia has accused Ukraine of using US-made ATACMS missiles in a recent attack on a military air base, fueling further animosity. Russian President Vladimir Putin has responded with threats against NATO allies and a revised nuclear doctrine, escalating fears of broader conflict.
As President-elect Donald Trump pledges to end the war, the situation remains volatile, with both nations striving for strategic supremacy in their prolonged conflict.
The latest news ” From the Front” – or rather the swamp.
When the United States achieved its independence, Syria was part of the Ottoman Empire, and its foreign relations were conducted through the Sultan’s government in Istanbul (Constantinople). In 1922, after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, the League of Nations approved a French Mandate for Syria and Lebanon, which gave France exclusive control over their foreign relations.
The United States appointed George Wadsworth as “Agent and Consul General” in 1942 to provide a quasi-diplomatic presence in Damascus until the United States determined whether Syria achieved its complete independence (1944).
The United States recognized Syria as an independent state in September 1944 after the Syrian Minister of Foreign Affairs (Jamil Mardam Bey) certified that Syria would protect the rights of the United States and its nationals.
In February 1958, Egypt and Syria united to form a new state, the United Arab Republic (UAR). The United States recognized the UAR in February 1958. Syria seceded from the UAR three years later and reestablished the independent Syrian Arab Republic. The United States recognized Syria on October 10, 1961.
Syria severed diplomatic relations with the United States in the wake of the 1967 Arab-Israeli War. In the place of normalized diplomatic relations, the United States established a U.S. Interests Section in February 1974, an adjunct of the Italian Embassy/Syria, and in June of that year, diplomatic relations and the American Embassy in Damascus were re-established.
Syria has been on the U.S. list of state sponsors of terrorism since the list’s inception in 1979 because of its continued support of terrorism and terrorist groups, its former occupation of Lebanon, its pursuit of weapons of mass destruction and missile programs, use of chemical weapons, and its ongoing efforts to undermine U.S. and international stabilization activities in Iraq and Syria.
Syria is subject to legislatively mandated penalties, including export sanctions under the Syrian Accountability Act and ineligibility to receive most forms of U.S. assistance or to purchase U.S. military equipment. Since the conflict erupted in Syria in March 2011, Executive Orders have been issued in response to the ongoing violence and human rights abuses taking place in Syria.
From 1990 to 2001, the United States and Syria cooperated to a degree on some regional issues. Relations worsened from 2003 to early 2009, principally due to George Bush’s decision to invade Iraq, an Arab Socialist Ba’athist ally of Syria. This is when the King of Saud prevailed upon President Bush to turn a blind eye toward the Wahhabist/Saudi-led insurrection against the al-Assad regime in Syria.
Ostensibly, the United States expressed such concerns as Syria’s becoming a transit point for foreign fighters entering Iraq, its refusal to deport from Syria former elements of the Saddam Hussein regime, interference in Lebanese affairs, its protection of the leadership of Palestinian rejectionist groups in Damascus, its human rights record, and its pursuit of weapons of mass destruction.
In early 2009, the United States began to review its Syria policy in light of changes in the country and the region. This led to an effort to engage with Syria to find areas of mutual interest, reduce regional tensions, and promote Middle East peace. When matters did not progress as quickly as the U.S. would have liked, the State Department’s propaganda ministry seized on the story of the government’s arrest of school children for writing political graffiti on walls that threatened President al-Assad.
According to this story, the Syrian government brutally responded to the Syrian children’s call for freedom and dignity. It is a modern variation of the story concocted against the Germans in World War I, who were alleged to have murdered infants in their cribs.
What has happened, though, thanks to the Saudi/Wahhabist-led insurrection, is an armed conflict that has lasted more than nine years, taken more than 500,000 lives, and displaced over 12 million Syrian people.
Meanwhile, the United States is the largest single donor to the humanitarian response in Syria, providing over $12.2 billion in humanitarian assistance for vulnerable individuals inside Syria and those displaced in the region since the start of the crisis. The U.S. government supports emergency food assistance, shelter, safe drinking water, urgent medical care, humanitarian protection activities, and other urgent relief.
Between 2012 – 2018, the U.S. provided non-humanitarian assistance to Saudi/Wahhabist-led rebels, including weapons of mass destruction. Saudi/Wahhabist-led use of chemical weapons against innocent Syrians was claimed to have been the work of the al-Assad government, which was a complete fabrication by the U.S. government.
The U.S. Embassy in Damascus suspended operations in February 2012. The Czech Republic, acting through its Embassy in Damascus, serves as the protecting power for U.S. interests in Syria. As it did in Tehran in 1953, the United States diplomatic effort is destroying American credibility in the Levant for decades into the future, perhaps guaranteeing that yet unborn Americans will one day have to fight and die in areas that are of no genuine interest to the security or economy of the United States.
Bashar al-Assad is currently residing in Russia under asylum — and we assume a large chunk of America’s $12 billion.
Adding a chemical additive to cows to reduce methane emissions is now approved here in the U.S. Folks in the UK are protesting, but the story remains a sleeper here in the U.S.
The climate hucksters have something to sell. Common sense would tell you that this is nuts. One wonders where Kennedy will come down on this in his new role as head of DHHS, what with all of his support over climate change.
What did the cows ever do to us one has to ask. Ask John Kerry about this nonsense.
I suppose its better than an earlier post and outright killing them.
Bovaer, a cow feed additive given a green light by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the U.S. for reducing methane emissions, is facing a battle for public acceptance as experts assure opponents it is safe.
Bovaer is a new feed additive that claims to significantly reduce the emission of methane, a greenhouse gas that is driving climate change, in dairy cows. DSM-Firmenich, the company behind Bovaer claims it could reduce cow methane emissions by between 30-45 percent. The Global Methane Pledge requires a 30 percent reduction in anthropogenic methane emissions by 2030 from 2020 levels.
But opponents are boycotting the product, with some citing a report by the U.K.’s Food Standards Agency last year, which found that one ingredient, “3-NOP “should be considered corrosive to the eyes, a skin irritant, and potentially harmful by inhalation” to humans handling it. But multiple experts say that there are no harmful chemicals passed through to consumers because they are filtered out by the cow’s digestive system.
….
According to Katie Cook, VP of livestock sustainability at Elanco, 150 farms in the U.S. have now enrolled in the online tool, Uplook, which will be used to quantify greenhouse gas emission reductions when using Bovaer, following the ruling, meaning shoppers could see milk which includes the additive on shelves soon.
Arla Foods is testing Bovaer, an additive to cut cow fart emissions. Its key ingredient, 3-NOP, is linked to male fertility harm. DSM, the company and holder of Bovaer’s patent with a strategic partnership with WEF, claims it’s safe despite no long-term studies. pic.twitter.com/HfkyUse3vO
Another EPA farting away millions of dollars in studies. But here is the fearsome sentence:
The $14.6 million NAEMS study, led by Purdue University, was financed by a consent agreement between industry and the EPA to measure emission levels from CAFOs and to develop improved methods for estimating emissions in order to regulate CAFOs and monitor their compliance with the Clean Air Act and other environmental protection laws.
In other words, they entered into a legal agreement. Why in the world did they do that? Who entered into the agreement on behalf of the industry? Guess who will be sued if they do not comply after the EPA comes up with the standard? There will be no more Bessies. Family farms will go, but big Agra will not doubt get waivers. That is how they will do this little number.
Here tis:
The emissions released by cows during milk production may be creating enough environmental pollution to negatively affect human health, which is why we’ve decided to include dairy cow emissions in our research into Milk ProCon.org’s core question “Is drinking milk healthy for humans?”
The US government does not have (as of Jan. 17, 2011) regulations for the amount of allowable air pollutants from dairy farms. In 2007 the EPA began collaborating with eight universities on a National Air Emissions Monitoring Study (NAEMS) to develop such regulations. Full story here at Milk Procon Org
As Biden blasts away in Syria, Trump blasts out “The United States should have nothing to do with it.” This the aftermath of the fall of Syria. Reports are the U.S. has about 900 troops in Syria. Who knows how many “contractors.” Where would congress fall on this new war?
In March 2023, a bipartisan group of lawmakers in the U.S. House put forth a resolution that would have required full withdrawal of American forces from Syria within 180 days of passage in the absence of congressional action authorizing their continued presence.
The resolution was voted down by 170 Republicans and 150 Democrats.
Months later, the U.S. Senate tanked a similar effort.
Erik Sperling, executive director of the advocacy group Just Foreign Policy, told The Intercept on Thursday that the Biden administration hasn’t “put the war in Syria up for debate because they know the American people don’t want another war in the Middle East.”Source
Let’s hope we make the next 43 days before Trump takes command.
ISIS Return In Syria Imminent? U.S. Strikes 75 Facilities; ‘Bid To Defeat, Degrade & Defeat…’ Israel joins in.
The U.S. and Israel conducted dozens of airstrikes Sunday on targets in Syria following the dramatic collapse of the ruling Assad regime and amid concerns radical and terrorist groups could exploit Syria’s current situation.
The U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) announced it hit over 75 “known [Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham] ISIS camps and operatives in central Syria” using precision airstrikes.
The U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) announced it hit over 75 “known [Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham] ISIS camps and operatives in central Syria” using precision airstrikes.
CENTCOM added that it struck the targets to “disrupt, degrade, and defeat ISIS” and render it incapable of exploiting the nation’s current state to regroup in central Syria.
There was no indication of civilian deaths from the strikes, CENTCOM noted.
“There should be no doubt — we will not allow ISIS to reconstitute and take advantage of the current situation in Syria,” CENTCOM’s commander, General Michael Erik Kurilla, said. “All organizations in Syria should know that we will hold them accountable if they partner with or support ISIS in any way.
”Referencing the airstrikes from the White House, President Joe Biden remarked, “We’re clear-eyed about the fact that ISIS will try to take advantage of any vacuum, to reestablish its capabilities, to create a safe haven. We will not let that happen.”
So what are we doing? Biden admits he has no idea who these rebels are.
Joe Biden Reacts To Syria Crisis, Says “Some Syrian Rebel Groups Have Records Of Terrorism..“
Meanwhile Trump opines on the matter:
Does Biden know he is on the way out? Can we pump the breaks on the promise to give more money to Al Qaeda?
Joe Biden isn’t “rebuilding Syria”, all these overseas “building projects” are ALWAYS MONEY LAUNDERING Prosecute Joe Biden and the whole Democrat Regime laundering our money overseas. Everyone involved needs to go to prison. When did this much money laundering become normalized?
e
We can’t get this regime out fast enough. Ukraine?
Just 6 more weeks of money laundering and kickbacks. Hopefully. It is in the DNA of DC politicians. The Biden Administration announces $988 million in military aid toUkraine, including drones and rockets.

No little hand bell choir with this rendition. Here is a version that will knock your socks off. They put the pedal to the meddle as they herald the true start of the Christmas season. Crank her up. One of my favorite Christmas carols. I caught this version a couple of years ago and it’s a keeper.
Here is your second chance to catch yesterday’s post of “fun and mayhem” and there sure was some.
Let’s see what mischief our fellow earthlings have gotten themselves into this week. Satire, Memes and Mayhem. Nonsense and animals as well. Time to take a break from the madness. For politics page down and/or check top posts at the right side of the page.
We have yet to hear what nonsense Biden will do in his waning days regarding migrants. Considering anything else that is possible to damage the U.S is under discussion, let’s see how far he goes with this one. Pressure is on to try to give away more student debt, no surprise here.
Temporary Protected Status is on the table, that is where the main action will no doubt be next year. Trump could end it. This was the latest scam to receive an unlimited number of illegals into the country by simply claiming it was too dangerous to live in their home country.
A few Senate Democrats are lobbying President Joe Biden to get as many migrants into the United States as possible and ensure they stay indefinitely before he leaves office and President-elect Donald Trump enters the White House.
This week, Sens. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV), Ben Ray Luján (D-NM), and Alex Padilla (D-CA) sent a letter to Biden asking him to reward large groups of illegal aliens and other migrants in the U.S. with immigration benefits before he exits office next month
In particular, the Senators want Biden to allow hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens enrolled in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program to extend their status for the maximum length of time that is allowed by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
Similarly, the Senators are asking Biden to extend and redesignate several countries for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) so that newly arrived migrants from such countries can stay in the U.S. while those already in the U.S. can stay even longer than currently granted.
…Already, the Biden administration has grown the foreign-born population by nearly seven million since January 2021 — ballooning the number of foreign nationals living in the U.S. to an unprecedented nearly 52 million.
Repugnant. The operative word describing the Biden administration in these last days in office. What do you get with a hateful senile old man? Try gumming up the world and the Nation to make it as difficult for Trump as you can. Already we know about shipping out as much of our military stockpiles to Ukraine in the last moments before Trump.
Little noticed was Biden move. Why now? Why stir this up now.
The Biden administration issued new restrictions Monday on exports of certain semiconductor chips and equipment to China, marking the Biden administration’s latest crackdown to curb the country’s competitive advancements in chipmaking.
The new export controls place more than 100 Chinese chipmaking tool manufacturers on a restricted trade list, prohibiting U.S. companies from sending them equipment without specific permission, the Commerce Department’s Bureau of Industry and Security said Monday.
China has banned the export of several strategically important minerals to the U.S., in response to the latest round of American restrictions Chinese chip-making industry.
On Tuesday, the Chinese Commerce Ministry announced that it has banned the export of gallium, germanium, antimony and “superhard materials” to the U.S. The ban on the dual-use materials—those with civilian and military applications—comes alongside the implementation of “stricter end-user and end-use” reviews on graphite exports to the U.S.
The announcement follows Washington’s decision to strengthen export restrictions on semiconductor manufacturing equipment and software tools, and to expand the list of Chinese companies subject to these controls.
How about protecting some of your BFF? Those who have assisted you in damaging Trump? Apparently considering cleanup on all the aisles, but especially with Schiff, Cheney and Fauci.
Politico on Wednesday dropped an explosive report that Biden’s handlers are strongly considering issuing preemptive pardons to several current and former government officials who they believe will be in the incoming Trump administration’s crosshairs.
The deliberations touch on pardoning those currently in office, elected and appointed, as well as former officials who’ve angered Trump and his loyalists.
The outlet notes that the Regime has become even more panicked since Trump announced he was picking MAGA hero Kash Patel to drain the Deep State swamp and ensure those who persecuted Trump do not escape punishment.
The figures include Senator-elect Adam “Pencilneck” Schiff, lying warmonger Liz Cheney, and COVID fraudster Anthony Fauci.
Then we have the Social Security workers. Something to gum up the works here at home for Musk and Kennedy. After all they announced that the worker bees should be at work.
Elon Musk, Vivek Ramaswamy Plan to End Work from Home for Federal Employees |
Tens of thousands of Social Security Administration staffers can continue teleworking into 2029 under a recent deal signed between their union and the agency. The agreement comes as the incoming Trump administration and its newly created Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, vow to require federal workers to return to the office full time in an effort to cull their numbers.
The updated contract deal locks in the current levels of telework for American Federation of Government Employees members at the agency until late October 2029, according to a letter written by Rich Couture, AFGE general committee spokesperson and head of the union’s Council 215, and viewed by CNN. The agreement was signed by SSA Commissioner Martin O’Malley just before he stepped down to run for Democratic National Committee chair.
Then Biden skips off to Africa dropping off a $Billion buckeroos for the boys after pardoning his son Hunter.
