The reason why public business should be conducted in the open, according to Cheryl Chumley of the Washington Times, is that abuse and conspiracy thrive in the dark.
"Civil rights advocates have been warning for years that the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court and the entire Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act system of issuing secret warrants are rife with potential for abuse; are handovers of powers to secret sources that better belong in the hands of duly elected and appointed judges conducting business in open court; and are flagrantly, blatantly unconstitutional. And now we know they’re right."

Pastor Darrell Scott ridiculed Mayor Pete Buttigieg’s Christmas greeting as a “load of crap” on Wednesday after the South Bend mayor claimed Jesus came to earth as a refugee.
“Today I join millions around the world in celebrating the arrival of divinity on earth, who came into this world not in riches but in poverty, not as a citizen but as a refugee,” .(Snip) Pastor Darrell Scott, a vocal supporter of President Donald Trump pointed out that Jesus was not a “refugee” who came to earth from heaven.
(Snip) “Joseph was NOT a poor man, and Jesus did NOT come into this world as a refugee from heaven. Please stop.”
Six months ago, I wrote about the mystery of the Joe Biden campaign—or, perhaps, “campaign” would be a better way to put it. According to polls at the time, Barack Obama’s vice president had roughly 30 percent of the Democratic electorate in his corner. Doing some simple math, and given that the population of the United States is 330 million people, and roughly 32 percent of them are Democrats, that translated to around 32 million Biden fans out there. With many nominal Independents typically voting for the Democrats (despite calling themselves “independent”), the back-of-the-envelope nationwide Bidenite count should have been in the neighborhood of 42-45 million people.
President Donald Trump has had it with Democrats claiming that impeachment is a matter of “national security” while Nancy Pelosi refuses to hand over the articles to the Senate and attempts to pull the strings from the House of Representatives.In his morning tweets ripping the party, Trump specifically targetted Nancy Pelosi and her ailing district and even suggested that someone should primary her.“‘Nancy Pelosi has no leverage over the Senate. Mitch McConnell did not nose his way into the impeachment process in the House, and she has no standing in the Senate.’ Brad Blakeman. Crazy Nancy should clean up her filthy dirty District & help the homeless there,” he tweeted.

Late Senator John McCain provided disgraced former FBI chief James Comey with five separate reports from Christopher Steele that the FBI didn’t previously possess related to unsubstantiated allegations of collusion between Russia and President Trump’s 2016 campaign, the Justice Department’s recent Inspector General report revealed.
There have long been questions about why it was necessary for McCain to pass Steele’s anti-Trump dossier to Comey on December 9, 2016, several weeks after the November 2016 presidential election. By then, Steele had already met numerous times with FBI agents to provide them with his controversial reports.

Ukraine Probe Into Missing $5.3 Billion in
Foreign Aid replies
Rudy Giuliani alleged Monday that former Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch “quashed” a corruption investigation into the disappearance of foreign aid because the Obama Administration was funneling the money to non-governmental organizations run by left-wing billionaire George Soros.
Giuliani, President Trump’s personal attorney, recently returned from a fact-finding mission in Ukraine, and discussed his findings in an interview with Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk for his podcast.
The former mayor of New York City told Kirk that in 2017, the Ukrainian Accounting Authority did a study which revealed that $5.3 billion in foreign aid during the Obama/Biden years was not properly accounted for. So the agency started an investigation
Cheryl Diane Glenn, a veteran Democrat legislator from the northeast’s 45th district and chair of Baltimore’s House delegation, abruptly resigned last week. The public learned why – Federal authorities on Monday unsealed charges against Glenn for allegedly taking more that $33,000 in bribes in exchange for various legislative actions, including voting to increase the number of medical marijuana grower and processing licenses available to an out-of-state company, CNN reports.(Snip)“Miss Glen allegedly solicited and received bribes related to marijuana, opioids and alcohol. These substances affect the health, safety and well-being of thousands of Marylanders every day,” U.S. Attorney Robert K. Hur said in a statement.
Jerusalem - Israel's foreign minister on Thursday said Tel Aviv would return to "the policy of assassinations" against Palestinian resistance figures in the Gaza Strip.
In statements he made to Israel's army radio, Yisrael Katz indicated that there was "an intelligence effort to identify the rockets' launchers and work to eliminate them."
He stressed: "Intelligence efforts are currently focused on determining who is responsible for ordering missile launch instructions in order to work to eliminate him."
On Wednesday evening, Israel's iron dome anti-missile system intercepted a missile reportedly fired from the Gaza Strip towards the country's south while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was attending an election rally in Ashkelon province.
Japan has executed a Chinese national who was found guilty of murdering a family of four, putting to death a foreigner for the first time in a decade.
Wei Wei, a 40-year-old language student who studied in Japan, was hanged after over 16 years on death row for the murders and robbery.
Justice minister Masako Mori said Wei was executed at Fukuoka detention centre on the Japanese island of Kyushu on Thursday.
He was convicted of robbing and killing a married couple and their two children at their home in Fukuoka in 2003. (Snip) Amnesty International said the hanging showed Japan's "shocking lack of respect for the right to life."
It is a basic Christian teaching that good works are insufficient for spiritual salvation. We should also remember they are unlikely to suffice for cultural and political salvation either.
Chick-fil-A’s abandonment of The Salvation Army is yesterday’s news, but its lessons should be remembered, for they explain our cultural and political trajectory. That the chicken chain capitulated even though everyone was “eating mor chikin” is instructive regarding the power of the LBGT lobby and its allies. That they directed this power against a Christian organization dedicated to feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, and sheltering the homeless — including those who identify as LGBT — is even more instructive.
While we are days away from entering a new decade, there are several style trends to consider adding to your mood board ... like now. (Snip) Trend #3: Gender-fluid products - Brands such as Fenty Beauty, Milk Makeup, Fluide, and many more have been at the forefront of championing genderless products that can be comfortably enjoyed by everyone. From subtle changes in packaging as well as visuals and marketing, there are so many more companies pushing old narratives of who should be using their beautifying offerings.
Many are hoping this will be more than a trend, but simply the new normal.
It was an extremely eventful year. We are using “eventful” in the sense of “bad.” It was a year so eventful that every time another asteroid whizzed past the Earth, barely avoiding a collision that would have destroyed human civilization, we were not 100 percent certain it was good news. We could not keep up with all the eventfulness.
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Joe Fatula left the Bay Area in 2017 wanting to settle down in the mountains somewhere quiet. He chose Colfax, a small town rich with Gold Country history, and became mayor last year with the goal of boosting business on Main Street.
But his sanctuary turned apocalyptic in October. Every gas station, grocery store and restaurant closed due to massive power shutoffs as part of the state's efforts to avoid a major wildfire. The mayor found himself loaning out his personal pickup truck and RV, which have built-in generators, to the town's 2,000 residents as they scrambled to save food in their refrigerators,

This Christmas, could you please spare a thought for the truly unfortunate: D.C. political journalists deprived of holiday parties surrounded by members of the Trump Administration (whom they despise)? The front of the New York Times Sunday Styles section was a microcosm of self-absorbed journalists indulging themselves over the holidays: “The Pall Before Christmas.” It was written by Shawn McCreesh, previously an editorial assistant to Maureen Dowd and who here shares Dowd’s contemptuous irreverence toward Trump
Cyber officials from the US military are reportedly developing information warfare tactics to deploy against Russian elites should their country's government interfere in next year's presidential election. Several government officials confirmed the developments to The Washington Post on Wednesday, under the guarantee of anonymity. They say that the US is planning ways to obtain the personal data of Russian politicians and oligarchs if election meddling does not stop. The sources did not disclose exactly what kind of 'sensitive information' they would be hoping to collect from such senior Russian figures, but the act could potentially put pressure on the country to cease interference
On CNN on Wednesday, Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-MI) said the chaos and “spreading fear and hatred” by Republicans through the impeachment process was threatening our democracy.
Anchor Brianna Keilar said, “The Republican Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said his plan for House Republican impeachment managers is John Ratcliffe, Jim Jordan and Doug Collins, who really led some of the vociferous opposition that came from Republicans during the impeachment.”
Dingell said, “Yes, they did.”
Police forces in the United Kingdom have squandered over a million pounds on electric cars that are incapable of chasing criminals or performing emergency services because the eco-friendly vehicles are too slow and take too long to charge.
A freedom of information request found that police in the UK have spent £1.49 million on 448 green cars and vans. However, the actual cost of the eco-police fleets is likely much higher as many districts have not reported their purchases.
The official police reports admit that the battery-powered cars are incapable of fulfilling police duties such as chasing criminals or handling emergency response situations and often run out of power before a shift
The rector of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris has admitted there is still only a 50 percent chance the fire-ravaged landmark can be saved. Msgr. Patrick Chauvet said he is already suffering “heartache” because April’s blaze meant the 12th-century cathedral was unable to hold Christmas services for the first time in more than 200 years. But he said he is bracing for even more potential distress after the church’s support scaffolding is removed—likely in 2021—and officials learn whether the structure’s surviving vaults are strong enough to keep the Gothic monument standing.(Snip) The 855-year-old landmark was under renovation
When was the last time Democrat presidential frontrunner Joe Biden turned up in Mexico bearing gifts and meals for Central American migrants waiting to cross the border? Try never.

The Italian Interior Ministry has released figures showing that illegal migrant landings have reduced by half in 2019, largely thanks to policies enacted by former Interior Minister Matteo Salvini.
According to the ministry, the country saw 23,210 arrivals in 2018 which then reduced to 11,439 in 2019, although the number of arrivals has dramatically increased since Salvini and his League party left the government in August and were replaced by the leftist Democratic Party, Il Giornale reports.
Salvini, who closed Italian ports to migrant transport NGOs, is largely credited with dramatically reducing the number of drowning deaths in the Mediterranean sea.
With barely a month to go before the Iowa caucus, the Democratic Party’s presidential primary should be accelerating into the news cycle like a Formula One racecar burning its wheels, but thus far has looked more like a skateboard on the beach. The latest debate was roundly ignored. To steal a joke from Bob Newhart, it practically got a negative rating, which means several people who don’t own televisions were surveyed and said if they did own one they also wouldn’t have watched it.
Honestly, how can this possibly be? This is, after all, a contest to decide which Democratic hero will square off against a president that most party members
In 2018, the U.S. government filed 1,117 final applications to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act court for authority for the FBI to conduct electronic surveillance and physical searches. (Snip) The remaining 1,115 were granted.
Hours before the FISA court issued a December 17 order openly declaring that it could no longer trust any of the sworn statements the FBI had submitted to justify spying on Americans, The New York Times published an opinion article by William Webster, a former director of both the FBI and the CIA. Webster wrote, “Today, the integrity of the institutions that protect our civil order is, tragically, under assault from too many people whose job
To understand why there’s no-one in the administrative mid-tier of the FBI acting in a whistle-blowing capacity requires a background perspective looking at the totality of corruption. The institutions are protecting themselves; and yes, that protection applies to the internal dynamics.
Former DAG Rod Rosenstein was dirty. He might not have started out dirty, but his actions in office created a dirty mess. Rosenstein facilitated the McCabe operation against Trump during the May 16th, 2017, White House FBI sting against Trump with Mueller. Rosenstein also facilitated the special counsel (writ large), and provided three scope memos to expand the corrupt investigation of President Trump.
I’m not sure exactly who they are, and there’s a possibility they might just be one person; however, it appears there are three distinct FBI officials engaged in an overall investigative capacity, attempting to break the truth through the corrupt machinery.
Each individual is noted within a specific event or outcome. Hopefully AG Bill Barr has tasked his deputy James Rosen to hold an honest ‘climate assessment‘ discussion with these individuals.
♦The first honorable FBI Agent is the FBI official who enhanced the DOJ sentencing memo for James Wolfe. The DOJ prosecution, namely DC U.S. Attorney Jessie K Liu -possibly following instructions from Rod Rosenstein- was trying to cover-up the classified intelligence
Merry Christmas, America

Washington -- What do you make of it? Merry Christmas greetings have been assaulting me from every corner. The assaults began about two weeks ago. I think I was in a CVS store buying aspirin for a splitting headache. No, possibly it was at the dry cleaners, and I was picking up a sweater. The person at the counter let fall a "Merry Christmas." I, of course, reciprocated and hurried off. I would have thought nothing of it, but it has continued for two weeks. Will it even continue after Christmas Day? What does it mean?
In recent years, I have been the initiator of the Merry Christmas greeting.
It’s glorious how the normal people of Virginia are rising up to reject Governor Blackface … or is it Governor KKK-klothes? He can’t seem to remember which one he was in the photo, meaning he had probably donned both creepy get-ups at some point. Yay, our Democrat betters! In any case, the people are telling him, “No, we’re not letting you goose-stepping Bloomberg bots take our guns,” and it is especially glorious that the means to make this righteous commitment is a new, and not garbage, sanctuary movement.

Next to Rock Creek in Bethesda, Maryland, sits a six-acre church campus shrouded by old cedar trees. For a year and two weeks, this has been Rosa Gutierrez Lopez's home, sanctuary and site of confinement. This year, for the second time, it is where she will spend Christmas.
Gutierrez Lopez, 41, was the first undocumented immigrant in the Washington area to seek protection from deportation at a house of worship - one of the "sensitive location" categories where Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents are discouraged from conducting enforcement activities.
Dems Target Tulsi

Former congressman and Hawaii governor Neil Abercrombie, the Hawaii Tribune-Herald reports, has called for Democrat presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard to resign “the sooner the better” following her vote of “present” on the articles of impeachment against President Trump.
Abercombie is co-chair for the campaign of Kai Kahele, a Democrat running against Gabbard, and the former governor cited Gabbard’s missing votes “on everything” as the reason for his resignation call. On the other hand, fallout from the call has focused on Gabbard’s impeachment stand.

The year in movies was like the ultimate Mom Facebook Page.
So many reunions. So many updates on friends from long ago, so many surprising next chapters in so many lives — and so many heartfelt goodbyes to loved ones who passed away.
From “Avengers: Endgame” to “Toy Story 4,” from “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker” to “Mary Poppins Returns,” from “Frozen II” to “It Chapter Two,” from the “Downton Abbey” movie to “John Wick: Chapter 3 — Parabellum,” from “Terminator: Dark Fate” to “Rambo: Last Blood” to “Glass” — the 2019 BSU (Big Screen Universe) was dominated by sequels and reboots and spinoffs and curtain calls.
GOP Sen. Lisa Murkowski said she was troubled to hear Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell promise "total coordination" between himself and the White House regarding President Trump's impeachment trial.
McConnell, 77, of Kentucky, made the comment about his plan to work with the White House, which sparked fierce outrage among Democrats, during an appearance on Hannity earlier this month.
Democrats are facing a challenge they haven’t confronted since the 1988 presidential election. They are trying to persuade enough Americans to kick a Republican out of the White House even though the economy is doing well. They failed that year – and as their latest presidential debate showed, so far they haven't figured out how to meet the challenge this time either.
Early in that debate, moderator Judy Woodruff of PBS noted that “the overall U.S. economy right now looks strong” and asked the candidates what they would say to voters “who may not like everything President Trump does but they really like this economy.” Each of the candidates

Boris Johnson is like Winston Churchill, in that even his bitterest critics concede that he is extraordinarily talented. Attacks on Johnson, as on Churchill, often begin, “Sure, he is brilliant, but…” This clip from a recent interview illustrates the point. It also reflects that Johnson, like Donald Trump, has a sense of humor:

Both of the articles of impeachment passed by the Democrats in the House are unprecedented in that they charge “thought crimes” against a president. They are based on the dubious legal theory that doing something that is legal in and of itself but with a supposedly improper mental attitude turns an otherwise legal act into an impeachable offense. Lawyers call such offenses “specific intent” crimes, which means they turn on what was in someone’s mind at the time of the actions in question. If accepted by the Senate as a valid basis for impeachment, these articles of impeachment would set a dangerous precedent
The biggest news events of the past decade have been chronicled from space.
The last 10 years have seen a boom in the use of satellite imagery for reporting, led by a growth in commercial satellites that has slashed the cost of such images and advances in technology that have made high-resolution images from many parts of the world accessible, almost instantly, even on a phone.
US satellite imagery company Maxar Technologies Inc. has released satellite images from some of the biggest news events of the past decade — from natural disasters to war to the construction of Apple’s “Spaceship” headquarters in Cupertino,
Home Alone 2: Lost in New York is full of violence that, in my opinion, exceeds the physical comedy of the original film and is borderline barbarism. The main antagonists were subjected to bricks thrown at them from atop a building, being shot with a staple gun, having their heads lit afire, and being electrocuted. It is actually hard to watch.
But, for CBC TV in Canada, the following scene was too much, and had to be removed from their broadcast of the film:(Snip for clip)That's right, ComicBook.com reports that CBC edited out Donald Trump's cameo from the 1992 movie.

California attorney Michael Avenatti was deeply in debt, owing money to former clients, former law partners and two ex-wives – for alimony and child support -- when he tried to extort $25 million from sports apparel giant Nike, federal prosecutors claim.

MSNBC anchor Chuck Todd is facing criticism over a recent interview in which he confused author Toni Morrison and poet Maya Angelou.
In an interview with Rolling Stone, Todd spoke about the spread of "disinformation" and was asked if he was "surprised" by the Trump administration's willingness to "spread disinformation."
"I fully admit, listening to you ask that question now, and me giving you the honest answer of, yeah, I guess I really believed they wouldn’t do this. Just so absurdly naive in hindsight," Todd responded. "Donald Trump’s entire life has been spent using misinformation.
President Trump has been more focused and more successful than any modern president in appointing excellent judges to the federal courts. With the help of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, Trump has produced impressive raw numbers in terms of judicial influence.Still, McConnell is not the Senate majority leader Trump should be thanking. That honor goes to McConnell's predecessor, former Democratic Sen. Harry Reid of Nevada.Despite unprecedented, massively obstructive tactics by Senate Democrats, Trump, in fewer than three years, has secured the confirmation of two Supreme Court justices and 50 appeals court judges.

Democratic presidential hopeful Joseph R. Biden’s pledge to kill blue-collar jobs with a green economy rekindled unwanted comparisons to 2016 presidential nominee Hillary Clinton’s coal miner flub. Mrs. Clinton admitted in her memoir that her pledge to put coal miners out of business was her biggest misstep in 2016—and Republican campaign strategists are comparing the former nominee’s error to that of Mr. Biden, who said in the debate in Los Angeles that he was willing to eliminate jobs to shift the country to a “greener economy.”(Snip) A debate moderator quizzed Mr. Biden, saying the past few presidents have enjoyed “explosive economic growth

President Donald Trump slammed California Governor Gavin Newsom in a Christmas Day tweet for doing “a really bad job of taking care of the homeless population in California.” The president, evidently catching up on recent tweets, reacted Wednesday to several posts from late last week.
