President Joe Biden announced an executive action on Monday that bans new drilling and further oil and natural gas development on over 625 million acres of U.S. coastal and offshore waters.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has officially announced his resignation, and we hope Canadians can get some of their lost freedoms back with a new leader. He will step down as soon as a new leader is chosen. As he approached the lectern, his prepared speech blew away. He then quipped, “I’ll wing it.” HAHAHAHA Trudeau’s […] The post As His Speech Flew Off in the Wind, Trudeau Resigned from the Party appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

As Americans greeted their New Year’s Day hangovers with pledges to lay off the sauce, the Biden administration took a major step towards making every month Dry January. Last week, Biden’s Surgeon General Vivek Murthy issued an advisory “outlining the direct link between alcohol consumption and increased cancer risk.” Murthy wants health warnings on all alcohol products that mention cancer risk, as well as “a reassessment of the guideline limits for alcohol consumption to account for cancer risk.” It may sound like benign bureaucratic jargon. But it’s far worse than that. As The Daily Wire reported in October, a secret committee working deep behind the scenes of the Biden administration is working to revise federal dietary guidelines regarding alcohol. The Interagency Coordinating Committee on the Prevention of Underage Drinking (ICCPUD) is a six-person panel working within the Department of Health and Human Services. But instead of just trying to keep kids from drinking, this panel reportedly wants the United States to adopt the World Health Organization’s position that “no level of alcohol consumption is safe for our health.” Now, I love an “I told you so” moment as much as the next keyboard warrior. But this is no reason to gloat. The bureaucracy’s push to stop Americans from drinking is a dangerous development, and not just because it’s profoundly lame. It’s the latest sign of how leftists want to use the government to meddle in Americans’ daily lives. And it’s not even based on real science. Murthy notes that “alcohol is a well-established, preventable cause of cancer responsible for about 100,000 cases of cancer and 20,000 cancer deaths annually in the United States.” He further notes that “for breast cancer specifically, 16.4% of total breast cancer cases are attributable to alcohol consumption.” Much like Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, I’m not a biologist. So I have no reason to doubt these statistics. But whenever a government official starts calling for a total ban on anything for my own good, I get suspicious. Banning things that can be unhealthy when consumed in excess is the first step towards nanny statism and universal health care. It’s downright European. Or, in this case, Canadian. As we previously reported, three of the ICCPUD’s six members are Canadians who helped slash the number of recommended drinks in their frozen homeland back in 2013. That recommendation didn’t even play well in Canada, a country that has basically thrown its hands up and accepted euthanasia and leaders like Justin Trudeau as inevitabilities. The mere presence of Canadian health bureaucrats should be enough to disqualify whatever the ICCPUD recommends. But there’s also a new study from the National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Math, which found that “compared with never consuming alcohol, moderate alcohol consumption is associated with lower all-cause mortality.” That study is hardly biased towards alcohol. In fact, it includes the same cancer statistics that Murthy cites in his advisory. But it also looks at other areas, and finds that moderate alcohol consumption is associated with a lower risk of both heart attack and stroke, compared to never drinking at all. JOIN THE MOVEMENT IN ’25 WITH 25% OFF DAILYWIRE+ ANNUAL MEMBERSHIPS WITH CODE DW25 There’s also a recent Harvard study that found moderate drinking lowered blood sugar and was associated with lower rates of diabetes as well as lower rates of “thyroid cancer, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and renal cell carcinoma.” Looking at the whole board, the authors conclude that “the data do not justify sweeping statements about the [negative] effects of moderate alcohol consumption on human health.” Murthy probably won’t get his warning labels. Such a change would require congressional approval, and if the bipartisan opposition to the new drinking guidelines is any indication, it seems unlikely that Congress would vote to slap cancer warnings on liquor bottles. But Murthy’s advisory is telling nonetheless. Biden is packing up the Oval Office, and his Surgeon General is trying to bring back Prohibition. That would be shocking, if his boss wasn’t spending this time trying to sell off pieces of the border wall, stop offshore drilling, and smuggle in all sorts of policies that would hamstring the incoming Trump administration. It’s a troubling reminder of how Democrats act when they have power, and of what their priorities will be the next time they take the White House. Fortunately, we won’t have to deal with that for at least the next four years. I’ll drink to that.

Golden Globes host Nikki Glaser made a joke halfway through the show on Sunday, pointing out that none of the night’s winners had thanked God for their award. “So much has already happened in the first half, and the acceptance speeches have been on fire. Who got shouted out the most? Let’s look at the numbers,” she said as the screen in the venue changed into a scoreboard. The comedian gestured to a visual representation of who had been thanked and who hadn’t. “All right, cast and crew are leading the way with 11 mentions,” Glaser told the assembled celebrities. “Moms are holding strong with three shoutouts. God, creator of the universe, with zero mentions.” The audience started laughing, and the show’s host went on, saying, “Mario Lopez, host of ‘Access Hollywood,’ one.” “No surprise in this godless town,” Glaser deadpanned. The 40-year-old stand-up comedian is being praised for her performance, particularly for the way she poked fun at some of the Hollywood A-listers in the audience.  “I am not here to roast you tonight,” Glaser told the crowd during her opening monologue. “I want you to know that. How could I, really? You are all so famous. So talented.” “So powerful,” she went on. “I mean you could really do anything. I mean except tell the country who to vote for. But it’s okay, you will get them next time. If there is one. I’m scared.” Glaser also made jokes about Ozempic and rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs, who was recently charged with sexual assault and is currently in a federal jail awaiting his trial.  JOIN THE MOVEMENT IN ’25 WITH 25% OFF DAILYWIRE+ ANNUAL MEMBERSHIPS WITH CODE DW25 “[‘Challengers’] was more sexually charged than Diddy’s credit card,” the comedian said during her monologue. “I know… I’m upset, too. The after-party isn’t going to be as good this year, but we have to move on.” Glaser then joked, “Stanley Tucci freak-off doesn’t have the same ring to it,” adding, “No baby oil this year, just lots of olive oil.” While the elites ignored God during their speeches, actor Colin Farrell is being praised for thanking a member of craft services by name. The actor began his acceptance speech for Best Actor in a Mini Series or Motion Picture for TV by joking, “No one to thank on this one; I did it all by myself.” He went on to name many people he worked with on “The Penguin.” Farrell seemed to wrap up his speech after thanking the Golden Globes and anyone else he forgot, before he piped up, “Oh! Craft service, our great dame!” The crowd started laughing at him for thanking the team that provides food and drink to the crew, but Farrell made it clear he was being serious.  “No, no, Carolina, on those cold winter nights in New York when I was the only one overheating,” he said. “She’d be there with a coconut water every half hour. Carolina, God bless you — she kept the whole crew going; she’s craft service.” The actor got a lot of positive reactions on social media for the speech. “Colin Farrell thanking Carolina in crafts services and her thoughtfulness in his #GoldenGlobes acceptance speech is your wholesome moment of the evening,” one popular tweet says. “I don’t think I’ve heard an actor thank craft services in a speech EVER what a man,” another person wrote.  A third viewer agreed, “Carolina is somewhere absolutely floating tonight.”

On Monday, President-elect Donald Trump’s lawyers asked a New York appeals court to reverse a judge’s ruling that would schedule Trump’s sentencing in the hush money case on Friday. They also said they would appeal Judge Juan Merchan’s decision not to dismiss the case on the grounds of presidential immunity. If the sentencing is delayed beyond January 20, the day of Trump’s inauguration, he would be immune from the criminal proceedings. The attorneys asked Merchan to inform them by Monday afternoon whether he would “allow sufficient time for President Trump to seek an emergency appellate review.” Merchan acknowledged that if the sentencing were postponed beyond the inauguration, sentencing after he leaves office in 2029 “may become the only viable option.” He said he intended to sentence Trump to an “unconditional discharge,” which would entail closing the case without jail time, a fine, or probation. “Today, President Trump’s legal team moved to stop the unlawful sentencing in the Manhattan D.A.’s Witch Hunt,” Trump spokesman Steven Cheung stated. “The Supreme Court’s historic decision on Immunity, the state constitution of New York, and other established legal precedent mandate that this meritless hoax be immediately dismissed.” JOIN THE MOVEMENT IN ’25 WITH 25% OFF DAILYWIRE+ ANNUAL MEMBERSHIPS WITH CODE DW25 Judge Merchan ruled last week that Trump’s conviction in the case in which his former attorney, Michael Cohen, made a payment of $130,000 to adult film actress Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election, should not be thrown out of court because he had been elected president. “The Constitution dictates that only a President, after taking the oath of office, has the authority of the Chief Executive, a President-elect does not. Accordingly, a President-elect is not permitted to avail himself of the protections afforded to the individual occupying that Office. … Binding precedent does not provide that an individual, upon becoming President, can retroactively dismiss or vacate prior criminal acts nor does it grant blanket Presidential-elect immunity,” Merchan wrote. “Any claim Defendant may have that circumstances have changed as a result of Defendant’s victory in the Presidential election, while convenient, is disingenuous,” he continued. “Defendant has always pronounced, since the inception of this case, confidence and indeed the expectation that he would prevail in the 2024 Election — confidence that has proven well-founded. That he would become the ‘President-elect’ and be required to assume all the responsibilities that come with the transition were entirely anticipated. Thus, it was fair for this Court to trust that his request to adjourn sentencing until after the election carried with it the implied consent that he would face sentence during the window between the election and the taking of the oath of office.” George Washington University Law School professor Jonathan Turley slammed Merchan’s decisions against Trump, saying they were the “final cathartic act for lawfare warriors.”
