Promise Kept: Javier Milei Cuts 9 Argentine Government Offices on First Day
Argentine President Javier Milei used his first executive action in the top office on Sunday to dramatically rearrange the federal executive branch, reducing the number of cabinet-level ministries from 18 to nine.
Many of the ministries eliminated were folded into new offices, suggesting that their functions will continue with a much smaller office and reduced staff. Three ministries – the General Ministry, the Office of Media and Communications, and the Legal and Technical Office – were elevated to cabinet level. Milei put the General Ministry in the hands of his sister and campaign fixture Karina, which required the signing of a separate executive order to undo limitations on appointing family members to top positions.
The Scottish Prison Service has issued guidance saying that biological males who identify as women, including some with a history of violence against women, should be placed in female-only jails in order to allow them to spend time around people of their “affirmed gender”.
Transgender criminals should be “provided the opportunity and supported to work towards” serving their prison sentence in a jail that “aligns with their affirmed gender,” the Scottish Prison Service (SPS) said according to the Scottish Daily Express.

He had already obtained the financial means for the attack, Austrian news agency APA reported.
UK: Manhunt underway after surveillance camera explodes
British police are searching for possible suspects after a ULEZ surveillance camera exploded in southeast London Thursday.
By order of London Mayor Sadiq Khan, the city is peppered with ultra-low emission zones (ULEZs), areas accessible only to low-emission vehicles. Cars that do not meet the city’s environmental standards are charged £12.50 ($16) for entering the ULEZ. Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras positioned around the zones read license plates and check them against the vehicles’ make and model in real time. If a vehicle does not meet the environmental threshold, the fine is levied against the car owner.
The ULEZ climate mandate has drawn heavy protests from residents, including hunger strikes and refusal to pay fines. Taxpayers have also taken to disabling the ANPR surveillance cameras which Transport for London (TfL), the city’s transportation department, said will be used both for climate and law enforcement.

Myanmar becomes world’s biggest producer of opium, overtaking Afghanistan
Myanmar became the world’s biggest producer of opium in 2023, overtaking Afghanistan after the Taliban government’s crackdown on the trade, according to a United Nations report.
Myanmar produced an estimated 1,080 metric tonnes of opium – essential for producing heroin – this year, according to the latest report by the United Nations Office for Drugs and Crime (UNODC).
The figures come after opium production in Afghanistan slumped an estimated 95% to about 330 tonnes after the Taliban’s ban on poppy cultivation in April last year, according to UNODC.
5 African Countries Have Deadly Anthrax Outbreaks, WHO Says
Five countries in East and southern Africa are in the middle of outbreaks of the anthrax disease, with more than 1,100 suspected cases and 20 deaths this year, the World Health Organization said Monday.
A total of 1,166 suspected cases had been reported in Kenya, Malawi, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe. Thirty-seven cases had been confirmed by laboratory tests, WHO said. It said the five countries have seasonal outbreaks every year, but Zambia was experiencing its worst since 2011 and Malawi reported its first human case this year. Uganda had reported 13 deaths.
Anthrax usually affects livestock like cattle, sheep and goats, as well as wild herbivores. Humans can be infected if they are exposed to the animals or contaminated animal products. Anthrax isn’t generally considered to be contagious between humans, although there have been rare cases of person-to-person transmission, WHO says.

SCOTUS Responds to Special Counsel’s Petition on Trump’s Immunity Defense
The prosecutors are holding fast to a March 4, 2024, trial date—the day before the Super Tuesday primary elections. Trump described it as a ‘hail Mary’ effort.
The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday ordered former President Donald Trump to file a response to special counsel Jack Smith’s petition for an immediate ruling on the defense’s appeal to argue presidential immunity in the federal election case.
“Petitioner’s motion to expedite consideration of the petition for a writ of certiorari before judgment is granted,” reads the order. President Trump has until Dec. 20 to respond.
The order came hours after Mr. Smith sought to bypass President Trump’s appeal on this issue by seeking a quick ruling by the nation’s highest court.

Hunter Biden Files to Dismiss Gun Charges, Arguing ‘Vindictive Prosecution’ in One of 4 Motions
Defense attorneys argued the ‘evidence was on steroids’ that the prosecution showed bias.
Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden, filed four separate motions on Monday to dismiss a case charging him with three gun-related crimes.
Attorneys for Mr. Biden are arguing that the now-defunct plea bargain presented this summer nulled his gun charges in exchange for a guilty plea on tax misdemeanors, that special counsel David Weiss was “unlawfully appointed” to his position, and that the gun charges are unconstitutional. Lastly, he argued to dismiss on the basis of a “selective and vindictive prosecution.”
The defense also filed a motion for a hearing for discovery, to argue some of these issues.
Jim Jordan Subpoenas Top Asset Managers In Woke Investing Collusion Investigation
The House Judiciary Committee sent subpoenas to two asset managers on Monday as a part of a probe alleging collusion over the adoption of left-wing environmental, social and governance goals (ESG).
Ohio Republican Rep. Jim Jordan, chairman of the committee, sent subpoenas to both Vanguard and Arjuna Capital ordering the companies to hand over documents and communications related to possible violations of antitrust laws with a collusion agreement to promote ESG policies in the broader economy, according to a House Judiciary announcement.

Tucker Carlson Responds to Trump VP Speculation, Launches Streaming Service
Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson announced he is launching his own streaming service and website
“We’ve been working in secret and producing an awful lot of material for months now. We’re launching a brand-new thing very soon,” Mr. Carlson said in a post on X, formerly Twitter, over the past weekend as he debuted the website.
Since June, Mr. Carlson has been releasing videos on Elon Musk’s X platform, including a heavily watched video interview featuring former President Donald Trump. That video was released at the same time as the first Republican debate, which was held on Fox News and didn’t feature President Trump.
Today, the National Center for Education Statistics released its latest data on private school enrollment, as well as lots of other private schooling numbers. The most important finding is that K‑12 enrollment in private schools rose from 4,652,900 in 2019 to 4,731,300 in 2021. That is consistent with what Cato’s Center for Educational Freedom found as it undertook survey work to keep tabs on the health of private schooling: enrollment decline at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, increases thereafter as private schools tended to reopen to in‐person instruction faster than public.
Supreme Court Rejects Request From Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Top Democrat gives bizarre answer when reporter confronts him about Jeffrey Epstein’s flight logsDick Durbin (D-Ill.) claims he is completely ignorant of Jeffrey Epstein’s flight logs.
Over the last month, there has been a renewed push to obtain the list of passengers who flew on Epstein’s infamous private plane, the Lolita Express. Epstein and his business partner, convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell, allegedly used the plane to fly celebrities, politicians, and underage girls around the world.
After Epstein’s arrest in July 2019, federal authorities were posed to use the passenger manifests to investigate the extent of Epstein’s sex trafficking. But that effort apparently died with Epstein’s untimely jail demise.
Fortunately, Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) is trying to resurrect it and is pushing for the Senate Judiciary Committee to subpoena the flight logs. But according to Blackburn, Durbin, who chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee, is blocking her effort.

Hottest Job in US Pays $80,000 a Year, No College Degree Needed
Wind turbine technicians are in high demand, even with the recent cancellations of offshore projects.
For the fastest-growing job in the US, working remotely is required. But those with a fear of heights need not apply.
Employment of wind-turbine service technicians will increase almost 45% over the next decade, the Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts—faster than in any other occupation, bolstered by the federal government’s renewable energy push. As makers and operators of wind farms expand training and hiring, experienced technicians can make about $80,000 a year without a college degree—though they must be willing to travel extensively, endure extreme weather and lug 50 pounds of gear up long ladders to confined spaces.

‘Don’t get sick. It’s too expensive’: medical debt is putting more Americans in financial crisis
Although both leading presidential candidates have discussed healthcare, neither has directly tackled its biggest issue
In a few short months, 37-year-old Kimberly Cooley went from sprinting up stairs to faltering after several steps. Unbeknownst to her, she was experiencing a cascade of symptoms related to autoimmune hepatitis, a rare and chronic inflammation of the liver.
She was diagnosed, shot to the top of the liver transplant list, and quickly realized she could not handle the financial repercussions of such a surgery alone. A private person by nature, Cooley took the extraordinary step of publicizing her condition – a step she understood well as a marketing consultant.
In a matter of days, her loved ones raised more than $17,000 for her liver transplant surgery.
Step Into Longer Life: New study reveals optimal daily step count for heart health
According to a recent study published in Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise, people spend a shocking 82 percent of their leisure time in sedentary pursuits – gazing at television, watching videos, and scanning computer screens. Many researchers believe that this lack of physical activity is closely linked to the soaring obesity rate in the United States – which has surged from 30 percent of the adult population to roughly 42 percent over the past two decades.
While holistic healthcare providers have long pointed to the importance of physical activity in preventing obesity and heart disease deaths, there have been conflicting recommendations over how much is needed to reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, and premature death in general. However, new research published in the prestigious Journal of the American College of Cardiology claims to pinpoint the optimal amount of exercise – right down to a recommendation for daily steps.
Extensive meta-analysis reveals ideal steps per day for heart health
The just-published systematic review, which involved more than 110,000 participants in 12 different studies, was conducted at the University of Granada in collaboration with an international team of scientists. According to the researchers, the “sweet spot” for steps per day – the amount that has been shown to reduce the risk of death from heart disease – clocks in at around 8,800.
Getting 8,800 steps per day was associated with a whopping 60 percent risk reduction in all-cause mortality. For reducing the risk of heart disease, 7,200 steps per day was sufficient. The study also revealed that brisk walking affords more benefits than slow strolling. However, if you are not a naturally fast walker, or have been inactive for some time, no worries. Slower walking yields benefits too.
Incidentally, 8,800 steps per day works out to an average of 6.4 kilometers (about 4 miles).
FTC Sends a Warning to Online Health Influencers
The Federal Trade Commission sent letters to beverage and sugar industry trade groups – along with 12 registered dieticians who are popular influencers on social media.
The FTC sent warning letters to two trade groups and more than a dozen influencers — including 12 registered dieticians — who made posts on Instagram and TikTok promoting the artificial sweetener aspartame as well as sugar-containing products
After WHO warned of aspartame health risks, a coordinated campaign by trade group American Beverage resulted in at least 35 paid social media posts from health professionals
The Canadian Sugar Institute, a trade group funded by the sugar industry, also paid registered dieticians to promote junk foods like ice cream, peanut butter cups, doughnuts and cookies
The FTC letters that were sent to the American Beverage Association and the Canadian Sugar Institute warn that the trade groups may have violated the FTC Act because they didn’t adequately disclose that the influencers’ posts were actually paid promotions
Civil penalties of up to $50,120 per violation could be imposed for any future failures to disclose “unexpected material connections,” according to the FTC

Los Angeles Deploys AI on Buses to Ticket Parking Offenders
Los Angeles has advanced its constant quest to suck every last dollar out of its residents by finding an innovative new application of Artificial intelligence — attaching AI cameras to buses to write tickets for cars parked in bus lanes.
KTLA 5 reports that the Los Angeles Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LA Metro) is partnering with technology company Hayden AI to implement AI cameras on buses. The project involves an initial rollout of 100 camera systems, strategically installed on buses to monitor bus lanes in real time.
These AI cameras are designed to automatically issue citations to vehicles parked in bus lanes, addressing a common issue that impedes the efficiency of public transit. A demonstration of the technology was conducted earlier this year in Santa Monica, showcasing the system’s capability. It consists of several cameras mounted on the bus’s windshield and an onboard computer that utilizes artificial intelligence to analyze the video footage in real-time.
US government is snooping on people via phone push notifications, says senator
Many people don’t realize that the instant alert push notifications you get on your phone are routed through Google or Apple’s servers, depending on which device you use. So if you have an iPhone or iPad, any push notifications can be seen by Apple, and if you use an Android, they can be seen by Google.
But, it seems, it’s not just Apple and Google who can view them.
In a letter to Attorney General Merrick B. Garland, Senator Ron Wyden urged the Department of Justice (DOJ) to “permit Apple and Google to inform their customers and the general public about demands for smartphone app notification records.”
And, since Apple and Google serve as intermediaries in the delivery of these push notifications this puts them in “a unique position to facilitate government surveillance of how users are using particular apps, “ wrote Senator Wyden.
The type of information varies from app to app, but in certain cases, it might also contain unencrypted content, which could range from backend directives for the app to the actual text displayed to a user in a notification.
In the letter, Senator Wyden asked the DOJ to repeal or modify any policies that hinder public discussions of push notification spying.

House panel demands info from former top Cuomo aide on nursing home deaths
Republican members of the House select subcommittee on the coronavirus pandemic are demanding answers from a top aide to former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) regarding the state’s COVID-19 nursing home policies.
Committee Chair Rep. Brad Wenstrup (R-Ohio) and Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-N.Y.) said Melissa DeRosa’s claims that she was not involved in New York’s COVID-19 nursing home directive are undermined by passages in her own book.
“These seemingly false assertations contradict statements made by Ms. DeRosa in her new tell-all book and differ significantly from publicly reported information about Ms. DeRosa’s role in the Cuomo administration during the pandemic,” the lawmakers said.
But DeRosa’s attorney Greg Morvillo disputed the entire premise of the committee’s inquiry.
“The Committee’s position is factually wrong. There is nothing in Ms. DeRosa’s memoir that says this — in fact, the Committee members claim to have read Ms. DeRosa’s book, but anyone who has actually read the book would know that this comment is clearly and factually inaccurate.”
The committee earlier this month requested DeRosa sit for a transcribed interview and provide documents regarding Cuomo’s “must admit” order, which said nursing homes could not turn away patients who tested positive for COVID-19, as long as they were medically stable.
The facilities were also prohibited from requiring hospitalized residents to be tested for the virus before their admission or readmission in nursing homes.
The move was made early in the pandemic and was meant to help relieve overburdened hospitals, which were sending patients elsewhere to free up capacity.

Biden Descends Into Delusion Again With Another Debunked Story, Then Just Wanders Off
Joe Biden’s campaign is not going well.
His staff has done all they can to try to minimize his issues, including trying to limit media access to reduce any coverage of gaffes. But there’s only so much you can do with a very flawed vessel like Biden.
He went to Philadelphia on Monday to announce the city receiving a grant for firefighters (translation: vote for me, important Pennsylvania voters) and to go to a campaign reception.
Biden did that little half-trot thing he’s doing to show how “vigorous” he is — for about a step and a half.
Then, when he reached his spot, he saluted and said something incoherent. He’s been doing that a lot lately, too, saluting random people that you normally wouldn’t salute.
One of the things that seems astonishing is how he keeps repeating the same false stories that have been debunked multiple times, such as the story about Amtrak conductor Angelo Negri. He sounds — from what he has said recently — like he’s been told not to talk about him. But the only thing he seemed to have taken away was not to use Negri’s name. He still keeps repeating the same false story.
