The House approved a massive $895 billion NDAA and left in a gender-affirming care provision. They tried to take it out, and Democrats raised a ruckus. As usual, the GOP folded since they have a few RINOs with a small majority. The monstrosity passed 281 to 140 and is 1800 pages long.

President-elect Donald Trump celebrated FBI Director Christopher Wray announcing on Wednesday that he will be resigning at the end of the Biden administration. “The resignation of Christopher Wray is a great day for America as it will end the Weaponization of what has become known as the United States Department of Injustice,” Trump said in a post. “I just don’t know what happened to him.” Wray said during an FBI town hall that he had been pondering his future over the last several weeks after Trump tapped Kash Patel to serve as the new director. “I’ve decided the right thing for the Bureau is for me to serve until the end of the current Administration in January and then step down,” Wray said. “My goal is to keep the focus on our mission — the indispensable work you’re doing on behalf of the American people every day.” “In my view, this is the best way to avoid dragging the Bureau deeper into the fray, while reinforcing the values and principles that are so important to how we do our work,” he added. CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE Trump said that his administration and Kash Patel, whom he has nominated to serve as FBI Director, would restore the rule of law for all Americans. “Kash Patel is the most qualified Nominee to lead the FBI in the Agency’s History, and is committed to helping ensure that Law, Order, and Justice will be brought back to our Country again, and soon,” Trump said. “As everyone knows, I have great respect for the rank-and-file of the FBI, and they have great respect for me.” “They want to see these changes every bit as much as I do but, more importantly, the American People are demanding a strong, but fair, System of Justice,” he continued. “We want our FBI back, and that will now happen. I look forward to Kash Patel’s confirmation, so that the process of Making the FBI Great Again can begin. Thank you!” Wray, who was appointed by Trump, was in year seven of an up to 10-year term as the head of the Bureau. Trump said during an NBC News interview that aired on Sunday that he was not “thrilled with [Wray]” because “he invaded my home” — a reference to the FBI’s raid on Mar-a-Lago in 2023. “I’m very unhappy with the things he’s done, and crime is at an all-time high,” Trump said. “Migrants are pouring into the country that are from prisons and from mental institutions, as we’ve discussed. I can’t say I’m thrilled.” “And then when I was shot in the ear, he said, ‘Oh, maybe it was shrapnel,’” Trump continued. “Where’s the shrapnel coming from? Is it coming from — is it coming from heaven? I don’t think so. So we need somebody to straighten — you know, I have a lot of respect for the FBI, but the FBI’s respect has gone way down over the last number of years.”

Google is being mocked for a new ad for holiday shopping which features a man dressed as a woman shopping for skincare. In an Instagram post sponsored by Google, influencer Cyrus Veyssi laments his dry skin. “I’m so dry,” he pouts while looking at his reflection. “This winter dryness is not it, especially when I have so many holiday looks to pull off. Thankfully, I know just the thing.” The scene cuts to Veyssi searching his phone for skincare products on Google. “And it’s in stock nearby!” he exclaims. “Hydrated skin is a gift to everyone, no wrapping needed,” he continues while walking through a store. “Happy holidays to me!” Christmas ad from Google. Dear Lord.pic.twitter.com/O6ML2Li9c4 — End Wokeness (@EndWokeness) December 11, 2024 Reactions online have been mostly negative.  “Google is canceling women. Bizarre marketing strategy,” one person replied. “My ideology is whatever is necessary to stop this bulls***. I’m tired of this,” another person wrote. “Google is Bud Lighting it this Christmas,” a third person added, referencing the beer brand losing $1 billion in market share after they partnered with trans-identified influencer Dylan Mulvaney last year. Asked by The Daily Wire about the backlash against the ad, a Google spokesperson said in a statement, “Everyone likes to find a good deal and save money. That’s why we’re promoting Google Shopping as the best way to do that. To put it in perspective, this was a single sponsored Instagram post, representing a fraction of a percent of a much wider Google Shopping campaign.” Veyssi, who identifies as non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, has over one million followers across TikTok and Instagram combined.  CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE The social media influencer’s content is filled with messaging pushing LGBTQ ideology and social justice issues, plus his ongoing effort to relate with his straight Iranian father. In one TikTok video, Veyssi talks down to men by imploring them to use Windex to clean their hair out of the sink post-shave, insisting that it makes them “masculine” and “super strong.” He delivers this plea while wearing bright red lipstick and a low-cut tank top that shows his chest hair.

Oh, Google. Have you learned nothing? Has your marketing department failed to read the room? An Instagram post sponsored by one of the world’s largest tech companies is woefully woke, despite consumers consistently indicating that this type of marketing isn’t effective.  We all know that “pulling a Bud Light” is now recognized as committing a misstep in marketing and potentially costing your company more than $1 billion, all in the hopes of impressing a tiny fraction of your customer base who thinks men cosplaying as women is a good idea. But still, the marketing team at Google has decided to risk it all for a dude wearing women’s clothing.  In the ad, influencer Cyrus Veyssi laments his dry skin. “I’m so dry,” he pouts while looking at his reflection. “This winter dryness is not it, especially when I have so many holiday looks to pull off. Thankfully, I know just the thing.” The scene cuts to Veyssi searching his phone for skincare products on Google. “And it’s in stock nearby!” he exclaims. “Hydrated skin is a gift to everyone, no wrapping needed,” he continues while walking through a store. “Happy holidays to me!” Christmas ad from Google.

Veyssi is an interesting ad partner for Google, especially in light of what happened when Bud Light chose Dylan Mulvaney to push their product.

The Senate blocked President Joe Biden‘s renomination of the current chairwoman of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), Lauren McFerran, with the help of two lawmakers who left the Democratic Party. Sens. Joe Manchin (I-WV) and Kyrsten Sinema (I-AZ) joined with Republicans in a 50-49 cloture vote, effectively stymying the bid to give McFerran a new five-year term. Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS) was the only lawmaker who did not vote. The setback for Biden means that Democrats were denied a majority at the five-member NLRB until at least 2026 with President-elect Donald Trump in office and Republicans retaking control of the Senate, according to POLITICO. Sen. Bill Cassidy, the Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee ranking member who has raised concerns about NLRB allegedly influencing union elections in favor of organizers, celebrated the vote against McFerran. “This NLRB seat should be filled by President Trump and the new incoming Senate. Not a historically unpopular president and a Senate Democrat Majority that has lost its mandate to govern,” Cassidy said. CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE He added: “I am glad the Senate rejected Democrats’ partisan attempt to deny President Trump the opportunity to choose his own nominees and enact a pro-America, pro-worker agenda with the mandate he has from the American people.” On X, HuffPost’s Igor Bobic shared that Manchin said his opposition to McFerran “is not a surprise to anyone,” pointing to a joint employer rule that he previously bemoaned for “saddling” franchisers with liability for franchise owners. C-SPAN’s Craig Caplan noted Sinema, who like Manchin is leaving the Senate in a couple weeks after not running for another term, returned Wednesday for floor votes for the first time since the upper chamber came back from its Thanksgiving break. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) had also filed cloture on a Republican NLRB pick, Joshua Ditelberg, but he reportedly shut down his own effort to move forward with the nomination after McFerran was blocked. “It is deeply disappointing, a direct attack on working people, and incredibly troubling that this highly qualified nominee — with a proven track record of protecting worker rights — did not have the votes,” Schumer lamented in a statement.
