Lots may be going on behind the scenes that very few are aware of. Time will tell. We know the President put into place an Executive Order where he mandated that the DNI (Ratcliffe) provide a report of election interference in the 2020 election from foreign sources and then the Attorney General is mandated to provide a report on how to address this interference. The Ratcliffe report was due a week ago and may have been provided earlier. The AG’s report might also have already been provided to the President.
From the Gospel According to Luke,
Chapter 2, Verses 1 through 20:
And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Cæsar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed.
(And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)
And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.
And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judæa, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David).
To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.
Clement Clark Moore was born in New York City in 1779 and, long before his death 84 years later, established a reputation as a scholar. A noted lecturer and writer, he also generously supported theological education. Yet his life would merit little more than a footnote in New York’s history — except for the one poem for which he is remembered. Written for his children in 1822, it was first published (anonymously) in the Troy, NY, Sentinel the next year. The poem was, of course, “A Visit From St. Nicholas” (“The Night Before Christmas”).
’Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
President Trump on Thursday hailed the successful development of COVID-19 vaccines as a “Christmas miracle” that will end the deadly pandemic.Trump and first lady Melania Trump released a taped holiday message from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, where they are spending the holiday.Trump said the day marks “the greatest miracle in human history: More than 2,000 years ago God sent his only begotten son to be with us.”“At Christmas, we thank God for sending us his son to bring peace to our souls and joy to the world,” the president said.The recently approved COVID-19 vaccines produced by Pfizer and by Moderna will help restore life to normal, Trump said.
Two New York women locked up for killing their abusive partners got an early Christmas present Thursday, as Gov. Andrew Cuomo granted them and 19 other convicted criminals clemency.The women — Theresa Debo and Maria Ordonez — each had their sentences commuted by the governor.“In New York, we believe the law should be just, as well as compassionate,” Cuomo said in a statement.“Those receiving sentence commutations have undergone a successful rehabilitation, demonstrated true remorse for their actions and shown themselves to be worthy of a chance to re-enter society.”
Dr. Andrew Pastewski, the Intensive Care Unit Medical Director at Jackson South Medical Center in Kendall, Florida, told CNN on Christmas Eve that Americans need to realize Christmas Day 2020 shouldn’t be enjoyable because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.“What’s your message? It’s Christmas Eve; it’s not the only holiday obviously happening this month and in the coming days. There’s a lot that people want to celebrate and they want to find joy somewhere,” observed the CNN host in a Christmas Eve morning interview with Dr. Pastewski. “What’s your message to Americans this morning based on what you see and what you hope to see in the coming year?”
If you want to find a way to jack up your blood pressure, just read this tweet from the news director of WHAS11 News. Her open letter to journalists is almost as bad as MSNBC’s Katy Tur referring to those in her profession as first responders. They’re not. You all know that. I’m no firefighter, neither is Tur, or any person who writes for a living. There are very few in this field who put themselves in actual physical danger.

A government television broadcast in Cuba this week urged citizens to eat guinea pig and other rodents, suggesting rodent meat is more nutritious and “sustainable” than pork or beef, Cuban outlets reported on Wednesday.The Communist Party has presided over major food shortages in Cuba for decades, beginning almost immediately following the Cuban Revolution in 1959. In recent years, the Castro regime has blamed President Donald Trump for extensive food shortages and failed distribution of government-mandated rations. While the Trump administration has imposed significant sanctions on the regime in response to the increased frequency of human rights violations against pro-democracy dissidents in the Obama era, these sanctions have targeted elite individuals

Of all the great and small events of 1991, the death of CBS News' "60 Minutes" co-host Harry Reasoner probably rates near the bottom in the amount of attention afforded it by the public.
Yet when a keen observer and a person of talent and grace leaves the planet, we are all diminished a little. Such gifts are not as easily replaced as they once were when reading, not watching, was thought to better nourish the mind and soul.
When Harry died, I recalled a commentary he did when he worked for ABC News in the early 1970s. The commentary was an unlikely one for a man of his position.
The 2020 election is over. Joe Biden came out on top, but allegations of voter fraud remain. We have witness statements, affidavits, and allegations of other funny business that involved the mail-in voting process. There’s a reason why Europe has banned mail-in voting; fraud is likely. At the very least, it presents itself with the opportunity and we all know Democrats would certainly take it. Yet, there was a time issue as well. The legal challenges filed by the Trump campaign and its allies were a total disaster. The courts shot them down. Deadlines have passed. The legal avenue is pretty much over.
President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump delivered their final Christmas message on Thursday, praising the frontline health workers but failing to acknowledge the death toll from the coronavirus pandemic.The nearly three minute video - posted to each of the Trump's Twitter accounts -begins with President Trump telling the Christmas story from the bible, calling it the 'greatest miracle in human history.'It's Melania Trump who mentions COVID but she merely refers to the 'global pandemic' instead of calling it by name or using President Trump's moniker 'the China virus.'

During an interview with "Bernie and Sid" on WABC, former New York city mayor and President Trump's personal attorney Rudy Giuliani made a bombshell accusation when he claimed that the voting machines were "programmed" to give former Vice President Joe Biden the advantage.It is worth noting that the "independent fact checkers" would like us to let you know that they disagree with Giuliani's assessment.Rudy said to the WABC audience, “We believe from what we saw in Michigan that the machines have an inaccurate vote—that they’re programmed to give Biden somewhere between a 2% and 5% advantage.”Listen to the full audio
Americans are hitting the road in record numbers despite government warnings that people should stay home during the Christmas holidays to limit the spread of COVID-19. A fresh load of infections, hospitalizations and even deaths -- on top of an already devastating year -- has prompted a new round of travel bans and lockdown measures in some states. There is no blanket restriction nationwide, though, and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) screened more than 1.1 million passengers at airline security checkpoints nationwide on Wednesday, the most since March 16. (Tweet) Just a few days before that, TSA screened over 3.2 million passengers
Lying in a hospital bed laboring for breath despite being on oxygen, Dr. Susan Moore, a 52-year-old Black physician, stared into her cell phone and recorded a video alleging her battle with COVID-19 was made worse by the treatment she received from a doctor at a suburban Indianapolis, Indiana, hospital. Moore died on Sunday from complications of coronavirus, her son said. She had claimed that a physician treating her repeatedly ignored her complaints that she was in excruciating pain, and wanted to send her home. That doctor, she alleged, initially told her he felt uncomfortable giving her painkillers and "made
Pentagon and Washington-area military leaders are on red alert, wary of what President Donald Trump might do in his remaining days in office. Though far-fetched, ranking officers have discussed what they would do if the president declared martial law. And military commands responsible for Washington DC are engaged in secret contingency planning in case the armed forces are called upon to maintain or restore civil order during the inauguration and transition period. According to one officer who spoke to Newsweek on condition of anonymity, the planning is being kept out of sight of the White House and Trump loyalists in the Pentagon for fear that it would be shut down.
Competition with China will likely be the most difficult foreign-policy issue that President-elect Joe Biden will face. What he decides to lead with and the precise mix of areas in which he engages and confronts Beijing are critically important. This is why Biden’s choice of John Kerry as a special presidential envoy on climate change might create a problem for the incoming president on China policy.(Snip)Kerry is indefatigable, even monomaniacal, in everything he does. The stories of his boundless energy and his confidence in his own ability to bend history are notorious among former officials who served with him in Barack Obama’s administration.
A new survey has revealed that nearly 50 per cent of Americans have an 'unfavorable opinion' of Rep Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The Heartland Institute/Rasmussen poll, which surveyed 1,000 participants from December 6-7, found that a vast majority of likely voters prefer a free-market economic system over a socialist economic system. Forty-eight respondents see Ocasio-Cortez, who is one of America's most prominent socialists, as 'unfavorable' with 38 per cent saying they view her as 'very unfavorable'.
Thirty-seven per cent of the participants regard Ocasio-Cortez favorably, including 18 per cent who have a 'very favorable' view of her.
Dr. Anthony Fauci reportedly said in a phone interview that he has been deliberately changing his public statements regarding the COVID-19 pandemic because he didn’t think people were ready to hear his true beliefs, according to the New York Times. Fauci has been slowly increasing the number of Americans he says need to be vaccinated for the U.S. to reach “herd immunity” in public statements, the New York Times reported Thursday morning. He reportedly told the Times he has done so “partly based on new science, and partly on his gut feeling that the country is finally ready to hear what he really thinks.”

Former regional political director for Beto O’Rourke and Democrat political strategist Damien Thaddeus Jones has come forward, alleging that a massive voter fraud ring was taking place in Harris County, Texas.Thaddeus Jones claims the operation was overseen by Texas Political Director for the Joe Biden presidential campaign Dallas Jones. Check out what the National File reported: In this stunning audio obtained exclusively by NATIONAL FILE, Damien goes into detail about Dallas Jones’ fraudulent activity and work for Biden.

Even during the holidays, the word police are still on duty.The University of Michigan’s “Words Matter Task Force” has issued a list of about two dozen words/phrases that could be offensive and lack inclusivity, along with a list of more politically correct replacement terms. (Snip) However, the initiative also seeks to replace benign terms such as “brown bag,” and “long time no see,” and “picnic. The recommended substitutes are “lunch and learn,” “it’s been a while/I haven’t see you in ages,” and “gathering,” respectively.
Thursday, MSNBC “Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough ripped President Donald Trump for his recent pardons and commutations.Scarborough said the GOP knew Trump was “sleazy” and has “enabled” Trump to pardon “political scum.” He added Trump “has been the sleaziest president in American history.”“The Trump administration, yesterday man, you didn’t think it was possible, but they turned the sleaze factor up to 11 … pardoning like the sleaziest gang of just scum — just political scum,” Scarborough emphasized. “And this is what the Republican Party now is. This is what the Republican Party has enabled, what every Republican senator, it has all led to this. they are all responsible,
Maybe you have some sense that something fishy is going on? Same. If it’s not one thing, it’s another.(Snip)Well, now I have another piece of evidence to add to the mile-high pile of fishy mess. The World Health Organization, for reasons unknown, has suddenly changed its definition of a core conception of immunology: herd immunity. Its discovery was one of the major achievements of 20th century science, gradually emerging in the 1920s and then becoming ever more refined throughout the 20th century.
Herd immunity is a fascinating observation that you can trace to biological reality or statistical probability theory, whichever you prefer.

Is all talk about the use of CIA computer programs called Hammer and Scorecard to digitally change millions of votes and steal the election for Joe Biden sheer “nonsense”? It is according to Snopes, as well as the other establishment-anointed “fact checkers” such as PolitiFact.com, FactCheck.org, BuzzFeedNews.com, and MSN.com. So that settles the matter, right? Actually, it does not. As has been reliably shown in critical reports by diverse sources (see here, here, here, and here), including The New American (see here), Snopes is notorious for its left-leaning bias. Ditto for many of the other “fact checkers” that comprise the gaslighting chorus that pretends to debunk any claim that
A Texas judge may strike down President Barack Obama’s 2012 DACA amnesty for roughly 700,000 illegal migrants — and undermine other giveaway programs that allow U.S. employers to keep foreign workers in jobs needed by Americans.
In a December 22 hearing, the pro-migration supporters of Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) amnesty asked District Judge Andrew Hanen to preserve the award of work permits, regardless of the economic impact on non-college Americans.
Hanen called the hearing after Texas, and other states filed a lawsuit to have the DACA amnesty declared illegal.
There is a reason Donald Trump seems so desperate to hang on to his position as president of the United States. Over the weekend he reportedly talked with attorney Sidney Powell and former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn about trying to impose martial law in states he lost in order to hold new elections in the hopes that he could remain president. (Fortunately, the U.S. Army issued a statement publicly challenging the commander-in-chief.)
The reason for Trump’s seemingly erratic behavior is obvious, at least to us: Donald Trump knows that he may be arrested not long after Joe Biden is sworn in at about noon on Jan. 20, 2021.
We’re trying to think of something nice to say about 2020. OK, here goes: Nobody got killed by the murder hornets. As far as we know. That’s pretty much it. In the past, writing these annual reviews, we have said harsh things about previous years. We owe those years an apology. Compared to 2020, all previous years, even the Disco Era, were the golden age of human existence. This was a year of nonstop awfulness, a year when we kept saying it couldn’t possibly get worse, and it always did.

The Chinese regime “struck paydirt” when one of its alleged spies got close to U.S. Rep.

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger on Wednesday joined other Republicans in calling to end the state’s current practice of allowing all voters to submit absentee ballots without giving a reason why they cannot vote in person.
He said that the system, referred to as “no-excuse” absentee voting, “opens the door to potential illegal voting, especially in light of the federal rules that deny us the ability to keep voter lists, registration files, clean.”
Raffensperger’s remarks were made at a hearing before the state Houses’s Governmental Affairs Committee
San Juan, Puerto Rico—Thousands of Vietnamese pot-bellied pigs are snorting and squealing their way across Puerto Rico in what many fear has become an unstoppable quest to eat and reproduce on an island struggling to stop them.
They forage through gardens and farms, knock over trash cans and leave pungent trails of urine and excrement, stopping occasionally to bathe if they find potholes full of rainwater. The former pets—or descendants of former pets—have reproduced at such an alarming rate that the U.S. territory declared a health emergency last year so federal officials could start eradicating them.
A teenage girl was pelted with cans in a Bronx playground by a trio of men yelling anti-gay slurs, police said. The trio confronted the 17-year-old victim in the Melrose Playground on Courtlandt Ave. and E. 153rd St. in Melrose about 9 p.m. Dec. 12, cops said. She suffered a torn ligament in one knee after they threw cans at her and yelled homophobic epithets. Cops released photos of the suspects late Wednesday and asked the public’s help tracking them down. Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS. All calls will be kept confidential.
Manhattan—Police are searching for six people who allegedly assaulted a maskless woman inside a subway station in Manhattan earlier this month. It happened on Dec. 17 around 1:45 p.m. inside the subway station at Avenue of the Americas and West 4 Street. A 32-year-old woman was riding the southbound A train when she was approached by six people who engaged in a verbal dispute over the fact she was not wearing a mask while on public transportation, police said. The suspects then made anti-Asian statements relative to COVID-19 toward the victim, authorities said.

Americans celebrated Christmas over a century ago during the previous pandemic with some of the same concerns of the modern day, including considering whether to gather with loved ones and risk deadly infection. But in 1918, World War I had just ended and many soldiers were headed home for the holidays to see family. And with the federal government less prominent than it is today, and the advent of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in 1946 still decades away, states, and more so local municipalities, implemented varying restrictions across the country.
On Dec. 22, President Trump pardoned or commuted the prison sentences of 20 people in what’s expected to be the start of a final spree of presidential clemency.The Constitution gives the president nearly unfettered power to pardon people or spring them from federal prison, and throughout US history presidents faced criticism for wielding the power. One advocate told The Post in November that they believe Trump could be the “most merciful” president in history in his final days in office.Here’s a look at some of the most controversial pardons and commutations in history:
New York—Did you take all of your paid time off this year? A new report from Monster found about 46% of people did not take their full paid time off. Many said they didn’t take their time off because they had nowhere to go or had concerns about their jobs. Only about 18% of people said they are able to roll over their time off. Taking time off, especially this year, was critical. If you don’t use it up, you’re likely leaving a bunch of money on the table. If you didn’t get in all that paid time off this year,

This is what they caught," the voice over says as footage pans to security footage allegedly showing suitcases of ballots being wheeled into the ballot counting area. "Suitcases of ballots and out of state voters and illegal aliens voting, dead people voting in Wisconsin, poll watchers denied access in Pennsylvania, Trump votes discarded in Arizona, and clerks facing felony charges in Michigan.""The evidence is overwhelming," the ad states.
Boris Johnson today declared that a Brexit deal has been done after four years of desperate wrangling—with a furious propaganda war already underway.
The PM has made history by sealing future trade terms to avert a chaotic split when the transition period ends on January 1, after Lord Frost and Michel Barnier thrashed out a 2,000-page text.

“I don’t know Roger Clinton. I’ve never met Roger Clinton. How did he know I applied for clemency? That’s not public information. And how did he get my private cell phone number? I don’t give that out, but it was in my clemency application.” Those comments were shared with me by someone who had a clemency application pending before Bill Clinton when he left the presidency. The applicant was convinced Bill gave the cell phone number to his brother.
Roger Clinton told the applicant it would cost $100,000 to get a pardon from his brother. Was the applicant willing to pay? “I didn’t have the money. (Snip) The applicant, (Snip) never
There have been rumors the past two weeks that President Trump is considering appointing a Special Counsel to investigate the massive amount of voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election.Instead of “discovering” 500 secret ballots in a car trunk like the good old days, Democrats instead shut down counting, dumped hundreds of thousands of illicit ballots, and then shut off the counting rooms from GOP observers for up to 48 hours.Democrats cheated.

COVID Relief and Trump’s Revenge

President Trump has been deeply dissatisfied by the reluctance of the Republican establishment to support his challenges to November’s election results that he and millions of voters attribute to vote fraud. Trump has been particularly unhappy with the laissez-faire attitude of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), who has discouraged GOP senators from openly backing Trump’s effort. The president had his revenge Tuesday night when he denounced the coronavirus stimulus bill that McConnell had finally finished Monday evening and hailed as a “historic rescue package to help American families through this pandemic.” Trump demanded a “suitable” bill that includes $2,000 checks for individuals and contains no wasteful spending.
The most puzzling thing about leftists is their stubborn resistance to good news.
Tell them the actual death rate for COVID sufferers is 0.05% and they will come after you like a rabid animal. Explain to them that the COVID numbers are hugely inflated – nearly all deaths of the usual things people die of are now attributed to COVID – and they will do everything in their power to silence you. Let a Stanford doctor suggest that face masks are useless in preventing the spread of COVID, a fact that should be obvious to everyone by now, and that doctor will be cancelled, shadow-banned, deleted.
On Tuesday, Congress passed a grotesque spending bill that ostensibly provides for Americans suffering from the economic collapse Democrats and RINOs forced onto America and for funding the government before it shuts down. In fact, what it does is insult Americans with a pittance, make easy loans available for big businesses and favored leftist constituents, and send billions of dollars overseas, often for initiatives (such as border walls) that leftists refuse to fund at home. The bill’s timing was perfect for Rand Paul’s annual Festivus grievance Twitter thread detailing how badly your money was wasted in 2020.
NAIROBI, Kenya - Another new variant of the coronavirus appears to have emerged in Nigeria, Africa’s top public health official said Thursday, but he added that further investigation was needed. The discovery could add to new alarm in the pandemic after similar variants were announced in Britain and South Africa, leading to the swift return of international travel restrictions and other measures just as the world enters a major holiday season. "It’s a separate lineage from the UK and South Africa," the head of the Africa Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, John Nkengasong, told reporters. He said the Nigeria
An American university student imprisoned for breaching lockdown measures in the Cayman Islands, has had her prison sentence cut in half. Skylar Mack, an 18-year-old pre-med student at Mercer University in Georgia, was arrested on 29 November after she broke Cayman Islands quarantine rules to attend her 24-year-old boyfriend Vanjae Ramgeet’s jet ski competition. Both Ms Mack and Mr Ramgeet, who is a resident on the island, were sentenced to four months in prison last week, after she pleaded guilty to breaking a 14-day isolation period required of all visitors. Mr Ramgeet was convicted of aiding and abetting her.
For the most part, Americans assume that the Vice President lacks power. The President may assign him responsibilities, but the Constitution does not. Instead, he’s the understudy, there just in case something happens to the president. Except that, in this strange year of 2020, we may learn that the Vice President is the most powerful man in America. Ivan Raiklin, a constitutional lawyer, claims that the Constitution grants Mike Pence the power to overturn a manifestly fraudulent election.
On December 22, Raiklin sent out a tweet urging Pence to inform the Secretaries of State in those six contested states that, despite overwhelming evidence of fraud, certified Electors, that he cannot accept

I turned around to see who was making such a demand so rudely. Just as I suspected, it was the guy who came aboard sporting a full N95 mask, face shield cover and surgical gloves.

Americans increasingly live in two parallel universes, and this is a shame.One side takes it as Gospel that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris won an overwhelming victory on November 3 and will take the oath of office on January 20. Another half of the population – according to a recent Rasmussen poll – believes that Donald Trump won the highest number of votes in history for the re-election of a sitting president and was cheated out of victory by overwhelming and widespread election shenanigans. An earlier poll found that even 30% of Democrats said it was likely or somewhat likely that the election was “stolen from Trump.”

That last call … reminds me how much I love all of you. How much I so appreciate everything you’ve meant to me and my family. You don’t have any idea.”

We’re all in this together.
Certain truths only become clearer over time, and the importance of community, family, friends and neighbors joining forces in trying times is chief among them as we wind down the lamentable year that was 2020.
That thought kept returning to the forefront of my mind as I watched Frank Capra’s classic 1946 Christmas fantasy-drama “It’s a Wonderful Life” for the first time this month.
This year the annual attacks on Christmas went beyond complaints about holiday salutations or public creches. Blue-state governors and mayors like California’s Gavin Newsom and government clerks like Anthony Fauci have issued diktats forbidding even private celebrations of Christmas by more than one family at a time. These orders follow on this year’s lockdown protocols that made liquor stores, pot dispensaries, and violent protests “essential,” while church services were verboten.
These assaults on faith illustrate how far secularism has infiltrated our culture.
My Christmas memories are sparse – no tree, no presents, no guy in a red suit riding in a gravity-defying sleigh. That wasn’t for a Jewish kid growing up in a small town in upstate New York in the 1960s. Still, I’m warmed by the memories, even those tinged with sadness.
In high school, I worked in my parents store at Christmas. They had a ladies clothing store, the elegantly named New York Hosiery and Silk Shop, on West Main Street in Johnstown, New York.
I wrapped packages, rang the cash register and held the door for overburdened shoppers.
On December 16, 2020 the Justice Department issued a press release about the arrest of alleged terrorist, Cholo Abdi Abdullah, who was conspiring with other terrorists from an al Qaeda-affiliated terror organization to carry out a 9/11-style terror attack inside the United States. This substantiates a point I have made on numerous occasions, where the threats posed to America and Americans by foreign radical Islamic Terrorist organizations are concerned, the “All Clear” has most certainly not been sounded.
However apparently Joe Biden and Kamal Harris never got or, more likely, never read the memo.
