Isn’t that the old socialist game plan, push the boundaries and then pull back? Except in West conservatives defend the new ‘normal’.
Interesting to see Elon Musk go beserk over immigration, I wonder if he’ll investigate himself over government waste, considering he sucked on the teet of the state.
Thanks very much, Mark, for highlighting CISA. On the theoretical (things as they are supposed to be according to our Constitution) level what they have done is shocking. But on the "real" level (things as they actually have been) it is not shocking at all. We have all witnessed the MSM instantaneously and synchronously propagating common headlines and themes in their stories for years now, as well as denouncing any other narratives. We just haven't known the mechanics of it (other than isolated hints such as JournoList). So no shock here but nice to see that at least one important part of the censorship "machine" has been exposed.
As for Syria, the Russians and Iranians are looking more like geniuses every day. What they have managed to do is pit their greatest rivals in the ME (Turkey and the U.S./Israel) against each other for years to come, without any commitments or losses of resources on their own parts. Putin is a Judo black belt. He may not have planned it too far in advance but he and Iran certainly used the energy of Israel's and Turkey's ambitions against them in this case.
23 days to Trump becomes President. So many limited hangouts right now trying to limit the damage one Trump assumes office.
For the Kurds my gut feeling is there is an Israeli connection on the Drones. Or perhaps Iranian. The question is who benefits. The U.S. is too clueless.
my latest concern is this Speaker of the House dust up. IF Mikey Johnson is kicked to the curb, who is Plan B? Will Plan B actually have enough votes to win the Speakership? If there is no Speaker, there is no Certification of the Election on January 6th.

Trump will need to act on this or he'll lose his base.

This is quietly happening around the country, to avoid being sued by Trump's DoJ:

It's always been about money and the fear of losing it - no ethical standards involved.
Wasn't Christopher Krebs a wonderful addition to the DHS Trump administration...
Perfect example. That's a dept. that they've gotta turn inside out--and probably shut down.
Superb! Thanks, Mark. You draw a really important connection between Dhillon, CISA, and censorship.
