The Anniversary We Missed on Christmas Day
Posted By: ladydawgfan, 12/27/2023 6:10:04 PM
As the world celebrated Christmas — giving and receiving gifts, overeating, and contemplating the birth of Jesus — we missed an important historical anniversary. It's easy to see why we would miss the historical events that took place on Christmas Day since it's a holy day for Christians and a special day even for many who don't believe in Jesus, but one important event that's worth revisiting took place 32 years ago. On Dec. 25, 1991, the Soviet Union ceased to exist. That evening, Mikhail Gorbachev resigned as president of the USSR, made a phone call to tell U.S. President George H.W. Bush goodbye, and delivered a speech to his nation.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem took part in early-morning deportation raids in Arizona Tuesday, almost getting kicked by an illegal alien as he was detained in the back of a police vehicle.
Noem, who takes part in the raids to remind criminal aliens that there's a new sheriff in town, was speaking with a suspect who had just been cuffed and placed in the back of the SUV.
"Do you understand the charges against you?" she asked Jose Escobar-Robles, who was being picked up for reportedly illegally funneling money to Mexican drug cartels.
Escobar-Robles's response was muffled, but Noem replied, "Yeah, well, you're gonna be prosecuted."
I don't even know where to start with this one. Every time this woman opens her mouth, she says something dumber than the last time she spoke. Yes, you may have guessed that I'm talking about the most obnoxious person in politics at the moment, Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas).
Apparently, Crockett was the guest speaker at the 125th Anniversary Program at Grace Baptist Church in Connecticut over the weekend, and while I've only seen a minute or so of her speech, it didn't come across as very Godly or Christian-like. In fact, it's extremely racist and offensive. But considering the source, are we surprised?
The way Trump is fighting the globalists, you'd think they tried to bankrupt, imprison, and assassinate the man.
I've had fun watching my leftoid, Chicken Little, dunder-butt friends (I still have a few) frantically selling off their 401ks the last few days, despite every indication that the stock market would eventually return to baseline.
FACT-O-RAMA! Liberals hate Trump so much they will gladly sell off their stocks for a loss and forever blame "Orange Hitler" for the beating. I watched two friends do just this in the past two days.
Just one week after Trump's "Liberation Day," when he walloped the world with new tariffs, roughly 70 countries have bent a knee
On Monday’s “Alex Marlow Show,” host and Breitbart Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow discussed recent rhetoric on abortion from Democrats in Colorado.
Marlow stated, “A Colorado Democrat said birth is more expensive than abortion and they’re calling [abortions] now, ‘averted births’. So, this is anti-human, … if you’re talking about, basically, the life of a human being as just an economic problem. Remember this, that the left sees everything as a money issue.”
He added that many horror movies start with premises that aren’t as sinister as averting births and “this is the road to genocide. … It is not about safe, legal, and rare abortions.
An NCAA tournament defined by its lack of suspense came down to its final possession Monday.
Florida won its third national championship 65-63 by overcoming a 12-point second-half deficit and making one final defensive stand.
Houston got the ball back with 19 seconds left but could not get a final shot off. Catching a pass well beyond the 3-point line with five seconds remaining, Cougars guard Emanuel Sharp jumped for what would have been a game-winning attempt but pump-faked seeing the defense of Florida guard Walter Clayton Jr.
Sharp avoided a travel by bouncing the ball while in the air, but a teammate could not rush over in time to grab the ball
Caroline Kennedy’s 32-year-old son Jack Schlossberg is ensuring the Kennedy reputation for being pigs doesn’t skip his generation.
The grandson of former President John F. Kennedy is using social media to openly fantasize about having a baby with Vice President JD Vance’s wife, Usha.
“I’m having a son !! So excited about this. Cannot wait for the birth of my next child because today was the best day of my life,” Schlossberg wrote on his Instagram account.
“Out of wedlock, yes. But we might get married,” he added.
Attached to the birth announcement was a photo of the lovely Usha Vance holding a baby with Jack Schlossberg’s smug face.
Monday on MSNBC’s “Deadline,” Princeton University professor and network contributor Eddie Glaude, Jr. said he believed people voted for President Donald Trump because they did not want to elect a black woman.
Glaude said, “I don’t know what it’s going to take for the American people, for 78 million Americans to deal with what motivated them to make the choice to elect this man again, to make the choice will allow these people to undermine every fundamental assumption we have.”
He continued, “The choice that they’ve made, we have to just be honest, is to literally throw the republican to the trash bin.”

'Undocumented, Unafraid, Queer' Anti-Trump Activist 9 replies
At a recent "hands off" rally, an outspoken anti-Trump activist made waves by boldly declaring her identity as "undocumented, unafraid, and queer." This rally, aimed at protesting the Trump administration's immigration policies, prompted the Trump administration to deport her immediately.
Over the weekend, Greisa Martinez Rosas spoke to the crowd at a Hands Off rally in Washington, DC, boasting about her illegal immigration status and her sexual orientation. According to a New York Post report, she is originally from Mexico but came to the U.S. as a child. She is an executive director of United We Dream, which spans a network of more than 400,000 immigrants.
Five million is a lot of almost anything. Five million zombies could probably kick off the apocalypse. Five million rounds of ammunition would help me sleep better at night, particularly if we get those zombies. There probably isn't much I wouldn't do for five million dollars, except for three things:
Become a progressive.
Switch to the Klaus Schwab-approved insect diet.
Honest work.
I'm kidding on that last point. Mostly.
But what about five million zombie voters? Imagine the elections they could flip (and almost certainly have).
Tampon Tim Walz was unhappy on Sunday when confronted with the fact that one of the Democrats’ biggest unions has sided with Trump on tariffs.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday the implementation of a 10% baseline tariff on all imports, effective April 5, 2025.
(Snip) Far-left CNN host Jake Tapper brought Walz on to discuss the impact that the tariffs have had on his home state. But during their discussion, Tapper dropped this mini-bombshell.
It turns out the United Auto Workers, a reliable Democrat ally, is bucking the party and going all in with President Trump.
Far-left “Face the Nation” Host Margaret Brennan, who infamously became a meme in January after getting humiliated by Vice-President JD Vance, face-planted once again on Sunday after trying to mock the Trump Administration on international trade.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday the implementation of a 10% baseline tariff on all imports, effective April 5, 2025. The worst offenders will be hit with even tougher measures on April 9.
Speaking from the White House Rose Garden, President Trump proclaimed April 2 as “Liberation Day,” marking a new era of economic independence. He emphasized that this measure is essential to protect American jobs and revitalize domestic manufacturing.
In a bold move that champions both economic growth and practical forest management, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced on Friday that it will greenlight logging in America’s national forests. This decision, spearheaded by USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins, follows President Donald Trump’s executive order last month aimed at revitalizing the nation’s timber industry. For Americans, this is a long-overdue step toward restoring common-sense stewardship of our natural resources while bolstering rural economies battered by years of overregulation and neglect.

Barack Obama has lost his mojo and ruined his brand.
It used to be said that President Joe Biden was serving former President Obama’s third term, that his former boss was controlling him from the home he had bought in DC’s ritzy Kalorama neighborhood, two miles from the White House.
The feeling was that Obama was the real leader of the Democratic Party and his wife, Michelle, was the secret weapon they would whip out in 2024 to replace Biden and trounce Donald Trump.
Walmart has issued a public response to a growing nationwide boycott that began Monday, as some Americans pledge to avoid the retail giant for a week in protest over a range of economic and political grievances. "Serving communities is at the heart of Walmart's purpose to help people save money and live better," the company said in a statement shared with Newsweek. (Snip) The protest is the latest in a string of consumer-led boycotts targeting major corporations over their political influence, labor practices, or perceived social stances. The consumer strike is being run by a group called People's Union USA

Can I get a cut, blow-dry and a crash course in climate please?
That could be the request in salons across the country under a scheme that aims to train hairdressers and barbers to get conversations going about one of the most hair-raising issues facing humanity.
‘A Brush With Climate’ is inspired by a movement that started in Sydney, Australia when a salon owner looked to see how to use their renowned conversational skills to get chats going about solutions to the climate crisis.
Four towns are to be chosen under the pilot scheme with local hairdressers and barbers invited to become involved.

The Trump administration will be allowed to resume deporting suspected Venezuelan gangbangers under the 1798 Alien Enemies Act after the Supreme Court on Monday lifted a lower court order that blocked the deportations.
DC District Court Chief Judge James Boasberg had blocked President Trump from invoking the rarely used wartime law last month, and later extended his temporary restraining order until at least April 12.
The Trump administration filed an emergency request with the Supreme Court to review Boasberg’s pause on March 28, after a divided three-judge panel on the DC Circuit Court of Appeals rejected a request to lift the stay as litigation plays out.

The last thing the Palestinians need are more calls from Qatar-based extremist for terrorism and jihad. If these Muslim "scholars" really want to help their Palestinian brothers, they should be calling on Hamas to release all the Israeli hostages they kidnapped, then to disarm, and then to stop pursuing the disastrous path of terrorism and jihad.
The "scholars" leading the IUMS live safely in Qatar, not in the Gaza Strip, and they are therefore not directly affected by the war that Hamas launched.
That such a call by an influential Islamic group comes from an organization based in Doha illustrates why Qatar c

A Chinese woman detained by border patrol officers for overstaying her visa died by suicide at the US Border Patrol station in Arizona after officers reportedly failed to perform required welfare checks on her, US Representative Pramila Jayapal alleged.
The woman, a 52-year-old Chinese national, was picked up in California after authorities determined she overstayed her B1/B2 visitor visa, Jayapal said in a statement last week. She was sent to the Yuma station in Arizona and was detained there until her sudden death on March 29.
The federal judge who blocked the Trump administration's use of a 1798 wartime law to immediately deport Venezuelan nationals canceled a planned Tuesday court hearing to review the case after the Supreme Court handed a win to the president. In a minute order published Tuesday morning, U.S. District Judge James Boasberg announced that the previously scheduled Tuesday afternoon hearing would be vacated in light of the high court's ruling, which determined, among other things, that the "appropriate venue for such proceedings is the Southern District of Texas," or wherever plaintiffs that are subject to potential removal are currently being held.

Michelle Obama’s new podcast with her brother, Craig Robinson, and is a total flop.
The new venture, the “IMO” podcast, was launched by Higher Ground, the Obamas’ media company.
The latest episode titled, “Pursue What You Love Before You Pursue Love” has only garnered 11,000 views in 11 hours.
The IMO podcast is not climbing the charts like Michelle Obama thought it would.
Doral, Fla. — Wilmer Escaray left Venezuela in 2007 and enrolled at Miami Dade College, opening his first restaurant six years later.
Today he has a dozen businesses that hire Venezuelan migrants like he once was, workers who are now terrified by what could be the end of their legal shield from deportation.
Since the start of February the Trump administration has ended two federal programs that together allowed more 700,000 Venezuelans to live and work legally in the U.S. along with hundreds of thousands of Cubans, Haitians and Nicaraguans.
In the largest Venezuelan community in the United States,
WASHINGTON — The European Union has floated a “zero-for-zero” tariff resolution with the Trump administration after 20% import levies were imposed by Washington last week.
“We have offered zero-for-zero tariffs for industrial goods as we have successfully done with many other trading partners,” European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said Monday.
“Because Europe is always ready for a good deal. So we keep it on the table,” she said at a press conference alongside Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre.
