Renowned Attorney Larry Klayman, founder of Judicial Watch and later Freedom Watch, is back with an update on the crime and violence cooking with the commie Dems, RINO's and Deep State. First, the crime coverup is the pardon of Hunter Biden that spans 10 years of alleged crime. First Lady Jill Biden is elated about the pardon for son Hunter. Klayman says,
"The fact that Jill Biden is so happy about this is because she is one of the actors and conspirators in the bribery, which took place with regard to communist China, Ukraine and Russia. She benefited by it. Who was the money launderer? Her son, Hunter Biden. She could have been indicted along with Hunter, as well as brother James of the Biden crime family for the bribery and money laundering. . . . I think his brother James will get a pardon because he's dead to rights with what has been uncovered. I think more pardons are coming. Joe Biden does not care at this point. The guy has no legitimate reputation."

The group's leader has accused the US and Israel of supporting jihadists in Syria and called on Arab nations to support Damascus.

Hezbollah will help the Syrian government fight jihadists and is calling on Arab countries to support Damascus in its battle, the acting leader of the Lebanon-based militant group, said in a speech on Thursday.
"Aggression on Syria is sponsored by America and Israel," Naim Qassem claimed, adding that Islamists "have always been their tools since 2011, when the problem began in Syria."
The country was plunged into a protracted war in 2011, as various anti-government groups sought to topple the government of President Bashar Assad. Jihadist forces, particularly those employing foreign fighters assisted militarily from abroad, emerged as dominant players among the opposition.

The short-lived period of martial law was the result of a complex internal power struggle and will likely lead to the president's downfall.

The political crisis that culminated in South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol's short-lived attempt to establish martial law, which was lifted just five and a half hours after he declared it, did not come out of the blue. While the opposition has been quick to spread its own narrative, there is no doubt that the situation is more complex and requires closer analysis.

Biden's parting shot at America

The interim between a US presidential election and the swearing in of a new Administration has for most of our history been a non-eventful period where the outgoing Administration winds down operations and the incoming Administration ramps up new personnel before the inauguration.

The 20th Amendment to our Constitution was enacted in 1933 to reduce the "lame duck" period between election and inauguration to January 20th instead of March 4th. Increasing ease in travel and communications made such a long interim unnecessary. However long the transition period, it has been understood that with the new election came a new mandate from the American people and the "lame duck" outgoing administration was meant to quietly quack out its last few days in office without incident.

Then came Biden. In the period since the American people rejected Biden's neocon interventionists in favor of Donald Trump's promises to end the wars, the "lame duck" has run roughshod over the will of the American people. Whoever is running Biden - and the answer is unclear - has decided to "Trump proof" foreign policy to bring us to the literal brink of WWIII with Russia. And to top it off, Biden's people this past week have again unleashed al-Qaeda linked rebels to wreak havoc in Syria!

NATO discussing ceasefire move for Ukraine

Bloc officials are privately considering diplomatic ways to wind down Kiev's conflict with Russia, according to the outlet.

Ukraine's Western backers are shifting from attempting to push for a military victory against Russia towards trying to help Kiev achieve the best position to negotiate a ceasefire, Bloomberg reported on Wednesday, citing people familiar with the matter.

The report comes as Russian forces advance in Donbass at a rate unseen since 2022, while recapturing ground from Ukrainian forces entrenched in Russia's Kursk Region.

Russian President Vladimir Putin "has shown no willingness to discuss a ceasefire," and with US President-elect Donald Trump less than two months away from taking office, Kiev's NATO allies are attempting to steel themselves "as morale starts to fade," Bloomberg wrote.

While Trump's plan for Ukraine is unclear, he was elected on promises of curtailing American spending on the conflict and focusing on internal US issues.

North Korea's concerns over its security are understandable given the political instability in the South, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has said.

In a surprise televised address on Tuesday, South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol imposed emergency martial law, claiming that the opposition, which he accused of being sympathetic towards the North, had been preparing a "rebellion." Within hours, 190 members of parliament, who managed to access the National Assembly despite military cordons, voted unanimously to lift the decree.

Soon afterwards, the head of state reversed his decision.

A significant "Ukrainian trace" has been detected among foreign fighters in northwestern Syria, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has claimed. The diplomat cited data available on cooperation between Kiev and the terrorist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), including on drones, following a claim Ukraine's intelligence services likely collaborated with the jihadists.

The Kyiv Post has reported that Islamist groups involved in recent attacks in Aleppo province could have been prepared by the 'Khimik' Special Forces unit of Ukraine's military intelligence service (HUR), which allegedly provided "operational training" to militants in Idlib province.

'Find another sucker': Trump threatens BRICS with massive tariffs, but who will suffer the most?

The US president-elect has demanded global allegiance to the US dollar, threatening to punish all who want an alternative currency.

US President-elect Donald Trump has fired a warning shot at the BRICS group of nations, which have been outspoken on confronting the dominance of the dollar in global trade. If the idea gains traction, Trump has promised to impose "100% tariffs," cutting them off from the "wonderful US economy." Which country will feel the heat the most? RT explores the economic ties and dependencies to uncover which nations are in the line of fire.

Comment:
1) Trump is forced to try and do something different, there will both be effects and side effects: 2) The article does not go into the problems associated with the US debt.

See also: 3) Nor does the article consider the influence from the effect of United States Foreign Direct Investment (FDI):
United States Foreign Direct Investment
© Tradingeconomics.com
In the regard, a recent report, Foreign Direct Investment in the United States from the Department of Commerce, begins:
Since 2006, the United States has been the largest recipient of foreign direct investment (FDI) in the world. For decades and across administrations, the United States has provided foreign companies with a stable and welcoming market in which to invest. Foreign companies have set up new operations or provided capital to established businesses in hopes of benefitting from America's productive and skilled workforce, strong culture of innovation and entrepreneurship, and unmatched business environment that features robust intellectual property protections, flexible and efficient capital markets, and the rule of law. The U.S. government nurtures and builds on these many strengths to make the United States an attractive destination for FDI. Global companies can select any location for their next investment expansion, so continued FDI growth in the United States signals strong confidence in the U.S. business environment.
4) While it may be good talk in the US to say, as Trump does:
"They can go find another 'sucker.' There is no chance that the BRICS will replace the US Dollar in International Trade, and any country that tries should wave goodbye to America,"
How do you think that is perceived among people and politicians in a group of countries that have nine time more people than the US? In such a calculation adding even Canada, Mexico, Japan, Australia and the European satellites will not change that there are many more people in BRICS.
