CAFE stands for “Corporate Average Fuel Economy.” An easy definition, via the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, is a regulation: …[on] how far our vehicles must travel on a gallon of fuel. NHTSA sets CAFE standards for passenger cars and for light trucks (collectively, light-duty vehicles), and separately sets fuel consumption standards for medium- and heavy-duty trucks and engines. NHTSA also regulates the fuel-economy window stickers on new vehicles. Ending these regulations is part of complying with Trump’s “Unleashing American Energy” Executive Order and the [Transportation] Secretary's “Fixing the CAFE Program” Memorandum, according to the department’s homepage. On Wednesday, the president rattled off the investments in the United States that the auto companies have made since Trump 47 began in January. In one case, he cracked up the room by joking that they could do better than the billions of dollars they are promising: Trump added that it’s part of getting rid of more of the “Green New Scam,” too. https://twitter.com/townhallcom/status/1996322694099345577?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1996322694099345577%7Ctwgr%5E31d2137f89d95733dae2dffe91ce3f002937e448%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fredstate.com%2Fbeccalower%2F2025%2F12%2F03%2Fwatch-trump-signing-car-industry-eo-ending-burdensome-biden-regulations-n2196786 https://twitter.com/townhallcom/status/1996325044260085885?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1996325044260085885%7Ctwgr%5E31d2137f89d95733dae2dffe91ce3f002937e448%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fredstate.com%2Fbeccalower%2F2025%2F12%2F03%2Fwatch-trump-signing-car-industry-eo-ending-burdensome-biden-regulations-n2196786 Source: redstate.com https://twitter.com/WallStreetMav/status/1996587083012378947?s=20 https://twitter.com/profstonge/status/1996583802559136057?s=20 https://twitter.com/unusual_whales/status/1996582009460732232?s=20   to a seasonally adjusted 191,000, the lowest level since September 2022, with expectations of 220,000. https://twitter.com/WallStreetMav/status/1996431168883900552?s=20   fourth consecutive month-over-month decline.

He believed in protectionism (using high tariffs to protect American industries and workers from foreign competition). Just like President Trump. Between 1897–1901 the United States had just become the wealthiest and highest-output economy on EARTH, surpassing the United Kingdom as the world's #1 manufacturing nation and #1 economy in total GDP By 1900 U.S. industrial production was roughly equal to that of Britain, Germany, and France COMBINED. Taxation without representation is unconstitutional and ILLEGAL. We, The People are now finally coming to grips with the illusions that have been installed around us our entire lives. Who is the FED?

Assistant U.S. Attorney Blasts Los Angeles County After It Votes to Ban ICE Agents from Wearing Masks Los Angeles County's far-left Board of Supervisors voted Tuesday to advance an unprecedented ordinance that would ban law enforcement officers, including federal immigration agents, from wearing masks while working in unincorporated areas of the county. The proposal passed 4-0, with only Supervisor Kathryn Barger abstaining. A final vote is scheduled for next week, and the ordinance would take effect in January 2026, according to the LA Times. Legal experts say federal immigration agents would not be required to follow a county mask ban. The county's top lawyer, Dawyn Harrison, has said she suspects the federal government will likely argue that the county law violates the Constitution, which states that federal law takes precedence over conflicting local statutes.  https://twitter.com/USAttyEssayli/status/1996040656733814854?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1996040656733814854%7Ctwgr%5E71ecedc2cdf5f5bfec40c6e10a4a461e8ffa25fd%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegatewaypundit.com%2F2025%2F12%2Fassistant-u-s-attorney-blasts-los-angeles-county%2F   by the media and local politicians.

The “war on narco-terrorists” that Secretary Hegseth is bragging about is being run on a legal foundation poured years before Trump ever touched the Oval Office desk. Obama normalized the presidential kill list. He campaigned in 2008 promising rule of law, transparency, and restraint. He delivered a tenfold increase in drone strikes; a White House “Terror Tuesday” meeting where officials literally flipped through PowerPoint slides picking who lived or died; and a legal doctrine allowing the president to kill U.S. citizens without trial, notice, or judicial review. That doctrine – once unthinkable – is now standard operating procedure. Obama's Director of National Intelligence openly admitted in 2010 that the administration was targeting Americans based on vague criteria like whether a citizen was “involved” in a group “trying to attack us.” That’s not evidence… that’s vibes. When civil-liberties groups sued to force the government to explain the legal basis, Obama declared the entire matter a state secret. Meaning: the president could now kill you, and no court was allowed to ask why. The judiciary rubber-stamped it. Both parties embraced it. And the public largely applauded it. Then came the Awlaki killings. Obama ordered the drone assassination of: •⁠ ⁠Anwar al-Awlaki, an American cleric •⁠ ⁠Samir Khan, an American citizen standing next to him •⁠ ⁠Awlaki's 16-year-old son, killed two weeks later at a café The White House smeared the kid as a “21-year-old terrorist.” The next week a birth certificate proved he was a Colorado teenager with zero ties to extremism. The administration shrugged. Obama famously told aides: “Turns out I'm really good at killing people.” And Washington – media, political class, and voters – rewarded him. Fast-forward to 2025. Trump isn't inventing anything new in Venezuela. He's using the exact precedents Obama left behind: Unreviewable executive kill authority, expanded definitions of “enemy combatant,” secret memos. No congressional oversight, no geographic limits, zero court supervision. Obama created the kill switch. Trump just slammed it. If you cheered the drone program when your guy was doing it, you already endorsed what’s happening now. If you let the government redefine due process as “whatever we decide in secret,” you already consented to the next president weaponizing that power. And if you normalize extrajudicial force abroad, eventually it comes home. Obama built the architecture. Trump moved in. And Venezuela is learning what happens when a precedent meets a president with fewer brakes  EU corruption scandal could take down von der Leyen – Politico A corruption probe into former EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini has thrown European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen's position into jeopardy, with opponents preparing to turn the affair into a fresh push to remove her, Politico reported on Wednesday, citing officials in the bloc. Mogherini, who served as the EU's top diplomat from 2014 to 2019 and is now rector of the College of Europe, was detained on Tuesday. She was formally accused by the European Public Prosecutor's Office of procurement fraud, corruption, conflict of interest, and breaches of professional secrecy over an EU-funded diplomatic academy program. In the wake of the scandal, von der Leyen “is facing the starkest challenge to the EU's accountability in a generation,” with her rivals renewing calls for a new no-confidence vote, Politico reported. source:rt.com NATO Members Commit More Than $1 Billion to Purchase U.S. Weapons for Ukraine NATO officials from Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, and Poland pledged hundreds of millions more in U.S.-made weapons under the Prioritised Ukraine Requirements List (PURL) scheme, Ukrainian media reported. Amid Russian gains on the battlefield, they insist Ukraine must be armed “to keep the fight going.” The alliance offered these commitments while being accused of attempting to sabotage peace talks. Canada, Germany, Norway, the Netherlands, Poland, and the U.K. all announced new contributions, pushing the total put toward U.S.-made weapons bound for Ukraine toward $5 billion this year alone. These newly allocated funds come at a time when many European governments, increasingly unpopular at home, are cutting domestic programs and warning of budget shortfalls. Source: thegatewaypundit.com Leaked Transcript of EU Conference Call with Zelenskyy Highlights Fear of Trump Securing Peace for Ukraine Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was in Paris talking to Emmanuel Macron last weekend while Rubio, Witkoff and Kushner were meeting with Ukraine officials in Florida.  This telephone call is reported to have taken place the following day, on Monday. French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte, Finnish President Alexander Stubb, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy together with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre and European Council President António Costa held a conference call. A transcript of the call was leaked to Spiegel, a German news outlet. According to the narrative the assembled group of EU leaders were discussing how the Trump administration was going to betray Ukraine in order to get a peace deal with Russia. The gist of the narrative sounds accurate, though some of the EU leaders are denying the specifics of the wording used. The EU is very worried President Trump may formulate a peace agreement then present the final terms to Ukraine without the EU being involved in the construct of the details. The EU is opposed to any peaceful end to the conflict, because the EU and NATO have positioned their collective economies to only benefit if the military spending continues; they are backstopping their spending with the confiscated Russian assets.   Source: theconservativetreehouse.com   Medical/False Flags https://twitter.com/disclosetv/status/1996567491334803864?s=20 [DS] Agenda https://twitter.com/WallStreetApes/status/1996550058809188740?s=20   “Ilhan and this group, they spent a lot of money” “So, the people that work for Ilhan (0mar) are actually counting the ballots, counting the vote?” “They (Ilhan Omar’s campaign staffers) become a manager, in the precinct too.” Somalians who don't speak English are also told out how to vote “They walk with you to the booth and then they vote.

Omar's 2018 victory party was held at Safari Restaurant, co-owned by Salim Ahmed Said, now found guilty of pocketing more than $12 million in fraudulent reimbursements after reportedly serving “phantom” meals. A member of Omar's campaign staff has also been convicted in the same broader scheme.

It is on purpose. It is a feature, not a bug,” Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet J. Dhillon told the Just the News, No Noise television show on Wednesday night. “And the goal is to cram as many people on there and make voters who are not particularly engaged, make it easy for someone else to help them fill out their ballot and return it for them when they didn’t care enough to do it themselves,” she added. “What we can do at the federal government level is ensure that our federal election laws are observed, and that includes each state’s requirement to keep clean voter rolls,” she added. “That is a fundamental basic.” Dhillon spoke one day after her division filed lawsuits against six Democrat-run states — Maryland, Delaware, Rhode Island, New Mexico, Washington state and Vermont — seeking to compel them to turn over to the DOJ their voter rolls to be inspected for abnormalities, outdated names or noncompliant names. She also struck a deal last week with North Carolina to force it to review and fix over 100,000 voters’ names on rolls in that battleground state that were added without complying with state law. Dhillon said her office is now on track to force through litigation, settlement or voluntary efforts at least 26 states to clean up voter rolls. “We’re now in litigation with 14 states. So the six yesterday included Maryland, Delaware, Rhode Island, New Mexico, Washington State and Vermont. That adds to eight we already had going,” she said.

Entretien mené par Raphaëlle Leyris Juin 1940, Paris tombe aux mains des Allemands. Gaston Cassar décide de rester à son poste d'attaché naval et de renvoyer sa femme Lucienne et leurs enfants, François et Suzanne, en Algérie pour les mettre à l'abri. Mais pour cette famille pied-noir, survivre à la guerre ne signifie pas d'en être épargnée. Ballotés par les événements de l'Histoire, sans jamais vraiment s'ancrer nulle part après leur départ de l'Afrique du Nord, les Cassar seront toujours séparés par un océan. Tandis que Suzanne, célibataire endurcie, vit auprès de ses parents, François cherche à reproduire le mythe de l'amour idéal de la génération précédente, en épousant la Canadienne Barbara, qui vient d'un tout autre monde que lui. C'est à leur fille Chloe qu'il reviendra de raconter cette quête familiale du bonheur – souvent contrariée par la politique, la foi ou le désir – et d'un endroit où se sentir chez soi. Couvrant sept décennies d'Histoire sur quatre continents, Claire Messud nous offre les plaisirs de lecture d'une saga familiale et parvient en même temps à nous plonger dans l'intimité de chacun de ses inoubliables personnages.

First ballot or not, Jones and Keefe agree both Bill and Kraft will get in the HOF

BT and Sal dive headfirst into the controversial 2026 Baseball Hall of Fame ballot, which they deem "light." The discussion kicks off with a viral single-vote ballot for David Wright, prompting a fiery debate on the Mets Captain's true Hall credentials versus his "Hall of Fame person" status. The hosts break down their respective five- and four-man ballots, agreeing on Carlos Beltrán (despite the sign-stealing controversy) and "King" Félix Hernández (dominance over longevity). Sal makes a passionate case for Andruw Jones (ten Gold Gloves) and Andy Pettitte (postseason legacy), while BT argues for Francisco "K-Rod" Rodríguez based purely on his historic peak and questions why all the steroid-era greats like A-Rod and Manny Ramírez shouldn't just be inducted together.

BT & Sal dive into the buzz surrounding the Diddy documentary, highlighting the "unreal" vintage footage and the early rise of the hip-hop mogul. The conversation shifts to a fiery debate over the 2026 Baseball Hall of Fame ballot, triggered by a voter who submitted a ballot with only David Wright's name. Sal and BT dissect their differing picks, agreeing on Carlos Beltran and Felix Hernandez, but clashing over Andy Pettitte and closers like K-Rod. They also tackle the elephant in the room: whether A-Rod and Manny Ramirez should be let in despite their PED use. In football, they debate whether the Giants should gamble on the past glory of Bill Belichick or the program stability of Mike McCarthy, acknowledging the "purgatory" status of the Yankees. The show concludes with a special "Call from Down Under" from a loyal Mets fan in Australia seeking solutions for the Mets' dire pitching situation, which Sal labels "slop."
