#10 Dem Convicted of Ballot Abuse Appointed Vice Mayor of Arizona City - Candace Hathaway for Blaze Media
Democratic city councilwoman previously convicted of ballot abuse was recently appointed vice mayor of San Luis in Arizona, the Arizona Daily Independent News Network reported. San Luis Mayor Nieves Riedel and the city council decided in a 4-3 vote to name Gloria Torres, the city’s next vice mayor, according to a December 14 press release. In October 2022, Torres and Nadia Guadalupe Lizarraga-Mayorquin were charged with conspiracy and ballot abuse by the Arizona Attorney General’s Office. The two San Luis women allegedly participated in a “ballot harvesting” scheme, collecting early ballots from voters and delivering them to a ballot box on August 4, 2020.
#9 17-Year-Old Kills Sixth Grader, Wounds Five Others in Iowa School Shooting - AP News
A 17-year-old opened fire at a small-town Iowa high school before classes resumed on the first day after the winter break, killing a sixth-grader and wounding five others Thursday as students barricaded in offices, ducked into classrooms, and fled in panic. Authorities identified the shooter as Dylan Butler, 17, and provided no information about a possible motive. Two friends and their mother who spoke with The Associated Press said Butler was a quiet person who had been bullied for years. A second batch of court papers linked to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein shows how dozens of girls were recruited at his beachfront mansion. A Florida detective says in testimony that 30 women had spoken to him about "performing massage and work" there. Some were paid to bring their friends. The court filings have been made public under order by a judge. They are part of a lawsuit against Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's imprisoned former girlfriend. A bit of dressing up in product advertising is to be expected, but how much embellishment do we allow before we call it a lie? That's the question at the center of Florida woman Cynthia Kelly's lawsuit against The Hershey Company, which makes Reese's Peanut Butter products. Kelly alleges she bought the company's "cute looking" Peanut Butter Pumpkins with a jack-o'-lantern wrapping in October, believing that the candy in question would match the picture — only to feel tricked, not treated. "This is a class action against Hershey for falsely representing several Reese's Peanut Butter products as containing explicit carved-out artistic designs when there are no such carvings in the actual products," the lawsuit states. In a subtle move, Nikki Haley, currently vying for the Republican presidential ticket and trailing former President Donald Trump in recent primary polls, quietly spent $2.4 million for a waterfront estate on Kiawah Island, South Carolina. The 51-year-old political figure, previously the US ambassador to the United Nations, procured the residence in October 2019, following her exit from public office and five months after joining the board of Boeing. Dr. Ladapo says a Canadian study found “billions to hundreds of billions” of DNA molecules per dose, exceeding guidelines set forth by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the World Health Organization (WHO). He sent a letter on Dec. 6 to the FDA Commissioner Dr. Robert Califf and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Dr. Mandy Cohen outlining his concerns about the high presence of DNA molecules in the mRNA vaccines alongside lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) used to deliver medicine into human cells. If LNPs are so effective at administering the vaccine’s medicine into human cells, Dr. Ladapo says he fears they will deliver the contaminant DNA molecules simultaneously. He cites a 2007 guidance report from the FDA on the regulatory limits for DNA in vaccines, which indicated risks of affecting the human genes that transform healthy cells into cancerous cells. The report also discusses the risk of how this integration of DNA in vaccines can lead to issues with the heart, brain, blood, kidney, liver, bone marrow, lung, ovaries, and testes, draining lymph nodes, spleen, and the vaccine’s administration and injection site.
#8 Sen. Blackburn Requests Subpoena of Epstein’s Flight Logs, Maxwell’s ‘Little Black Book’ - Sam Dorman for The Epoch Times
Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) is asking Judiciary Committee Chairman Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) to help her secure a subpoena for additional documents revealing disgraced former billionaire Jeffrey Epstein’s associates. Her request came on the same day, Jan. 3, that a federal judge was set to unseal the identities of 157 people named in Virginia Giuffre’s civil lawsuit against Mr. Epstein’s former friend and alleged trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell. In a letter to Mr. Durbin, Ms. Blackburn requested subpoenas for the FBI and Mr. Epstein’s estate to obtain Ms. Maxwell’s notorious “little black book,” as well as unredacted flight logs. She said the unsealing scheduled for Jan. 3 was “a critically important step forward in providing Mr. Epstein’s victims the transparency and justice they deserve.” On X, formerly known as Twitter, she also stated that the “American people deserve transparency.”
#7 Hackers Discover Way to Access Google Accounts Without a Password - Anthony Cuthbertson for The Independent
Security researchers have uncovered a hack that allows cybercriminals to gain access to people’s Google accounts without needing their passwords. Analysis from security firm CloudSEK found that a dangerous form of malware uses third-party cookies to gain unauthorized access to people’s private data and is already being actively tested by hacking groups. The exploit was first revealed in October 2023 when a hacker posted about it in a channel on the messaging platform Telegram.
#6 Open Letter to the American People Regarding the Willful Destruction of Our Military by Its Own Leadership - Tracy Beanz and Michelle Edwards for The Highwire
Nearly three years ago, in March 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared that COVID-19 was a global pandemic, and the first human vaccine trials got underway with Moderna’s mRNA shot. Immediately, as the ominous plot to control humanity unfolded before our very eyes, warp-speed COVID-19 vaccines became the trumpeted solution that would return our overwhelmingly isolated and locked-down lives back to normal. Right on queue, governments, institutions, and mainstream media spent months indoctrinating as much of the fearful public as possible. It began by promoting the jab as a remarkable savior soon to emerge in the shape of a needle and syringe filled with a never-before-injected gene-damaging product that now holds death as one of its more severe side effects.

#3 Tragedy as British Airways Steward Dies in Front of Devastated Passengers on Plane Waiting to Take Off - Stephen Moyes for The Sun
The 52-year-old steward tragically collapsed as the busy flight from London Heathrow to Hong Kong prepared to depart. Travelers and holidaymakers were in their seats when the incident happened while first aid was administered in vain. Doors were locked on BA Flight 32, and the pilot had requested to push back to head to the runway when the crew member suddenly collapsed in the rear galley. The captain urgently called for medical assistance, and a passenger trained in first aid raced to help. But despite the arrival of police and ambulance teams, tragically, the steward could not be resuscitated, and devastated passengers were told the New Year’s Eve flight was being canceled due to a "medical emergency." The Kicker: A second BA steward, also 52, died in the US on December 23.

Fisherman Ends up Frantically Trying to Stop Traffic After Noticing Tiny Sparkle Underneath Bridge - George C. Upper III for The Western Journal
When Matthew R. Reum drove his truck off the road and into a river on Dec. 20, he thought he’d met his end. After six days stuck in his 2016 Dodge Ram, hidden under a bridge from traffic passing overhead, he was even more convinced the end was near. But that’s when two men looking for a good fishing spot saw something shiny through the trees and eventually saw his wrecked vehicle there. Reum, 27, wasn’t alone in thinking that he was a goner. Mario Garcia and Nivardo Delatorre, the would-be fishermen who found him, figured he had to be dead as well. But when Garcia pushed aside the truck’s deployed airbag and touched what he thought was Reum’s lifeless body, the accident victim suddenly woke up. “He was very happy to see us,” Garcia told reporters at a news conference, according to the Times. “I’ve never seen a relief like that.”
