This was predicted by me – at least twice

The news tonight is that Worst President Ever (hereinafter “WPE”) has pardoned his son. You know the one – the crack-smoking, drug-addicted, whore-mongering, influence-peddling, gun-toting, tax-evading, lie-teller. After stating time and again – but that was in the past, so it doesn’t count – that he wouldn’t, WPE proved himself to be as big a liar as the miscreant son. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. I explicitly warned that WPE would do this, but for obvious reasons he would wait till after the election. I also proposed that the pardon would seal the judgment of historians on WPE – that he is indeed the WPE.

You know them. They were in your living room and part of your family conversations every night, especially during those 60-second breaks.
Before America was siloed into warring tribes by ratings-hungry cable TV and, later, by click-hungry internet sites, these men defined fatherhood for two generations. They were uncool before uncool was cool.
I’m aware this isn’t Fathers Day, other than in a specific religious sense. But Christmas always bring back family memories for me, particularly of my dad, which gets me thinking about the role of dads everywhere.
AI “thinks” hospital gowns make sense

Marc Andreessen is a very successful Silicon Valley venture capitalist. In picking and investing in early-stage tech companies such as Twitter and Facebook years ago, you could say he swims with the sharks, and swims very well. His firm has over $45 billion under management. He was recently the subject of a wide-ranging interview by Bari Weise, the intrepid founder of The Free Press.
The hottest thing in Silicon Valley these days is AI – the acronym for Artificial Intelligence.
Henry Kissinger argued that geopolitical negotiations are successful only if they are backed by an implicit or explicit threat of force. In that argument, he echoed Teddy
Roosevelt’s quip a century earlier that America should “speak softly and carry a big stick.”
The contention that adversarial negotiations are successful only if you have some leverage to exert is an obvious truism. But American leaders need to re-learn this truism every so often. They naively – and sometimes malevolently – come to believe that the way to get along with the bad guys is to kowtow to them.
. . . Is how a headline reads in today’s Wall Street Journal. To which my reaction was, what next?
First, the trannies were in the closet. Then they came out, apparently just to go to the bathroom. The one for girls.
Then they were in the Cabinet of the future former President and current organized crime boss who both commits and pardons family criminal acts. (One stop shopping, is he.)
The next thing we knew, they were competing in athletic contests against real women – or, as much of the media dubs them, “birthing persons” or “menstruating persons” or “persons with a bonus hole” or (my personal favorite) “non-transgender women.”

Resistance 2.0 is upon us, and it’s getting ugly.
The latest is from the formerly-mediocre and now-failed city of Denver, of which I am an embarrassed alum. The mayor promises to forcibly thwart the United States government’s enforcement of the United States immigration laws. He says he’ll send Denver police and 50,000 moms to head the feds off at the pass.
This valiantly woke mayor even promises to personally break laws and go to prison if necessary.
Here’s the back story:
Right after the election, the CEO of Aspen Skiing Company, which runs Aspen and Snowmass resorts (known as “SkiCo” locally), was grieving. And he wanted everyone to know.
He sent a memo to all 1,500-some employees instructing them on “the gravity of what just occurred.” (This is all he knows about gravity, believe me – I’ve seen this guy ski.)
The memo CEO-splained that the election decision made by over half the nation was “openly at odds” with SkiCo’s values of:
“Equality, democracy, civility, compassion, tolerance, sustainability, open-mindedness, gratitude, freedom, integrity, and justice.”
Why do American Jews vote against Israel?
12 replies
For a hundred years, American Jews have overwhelmingly voted for the Democrat candidate. Franklin Roosevelt received about 80% of the Jewish vote each time. This dramatic tilt toward the Democrats continued up through the turn of the century, when they gave Al Gore about 79%. They gave Obama 78% in his first election, and even gave him 69% in his second – after Obama’s antipathy toward Israel became impossible to overlook.
Some of this Jewish support for Democrats is understandable.
Aspen Skiing Company joins “The Resistance”
11 replies
Your correspondent has reviewed a memo labelled “For Internal Distribution Only” from the CEO of the company that owns and operates the skiing operations at Aspen and Snowmass (referred to locally as “SkiCo”).
It’s a doozy.
Everyone knows that Aspen is rich and liberal. The billionaires crowded out the millionaires decades ago. What passes for “thinking” by think-tanks like the Aspen Institute is the notion that “balance” means hard-leftists like Madeline Albright and Jonathan Capehart on one side and soft-leftists like David Brooks and Liz Cheney on the other.
Anne Frank famously kept a diary describing her life as a Jewish girl during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands. She and her family lived in a concealed room behind a bookcase for two years.
The Nazis eventually discovered the family and sent them to concentration camps including Auschwitz. She died in Bergen-Belsen at age 15.
Anne’s father, Otto, was the only one of the family to survive the Holocaust. He was instrumental in publishing his daughter’s diary after the war.
The rest is history.
Key to Anne’s survival were the efforts of Otto’s secretary, a Catholic woman named Miep Gies.
Democrats like to pretend that financial markets are politically agnostic, or perhaps are even fellow Democrats. “After all,” they caress themselves lovingly, “Financial people are smart, and smart people vote for us.”
This election put the lie to that. The market rocketed this morning on news of Donald Trump’s re-election to the Presidency and the Republican re-take of the Senate.
Ordinary Americans are extraordinary people. Today’s market shows that finance gurus on Wall Street and Harvard MBAs running investment funds have joined Pennsylvania hard-hats, Cuban immigrants, Montana ranchers

President-elect Donald Trump said he would rename North America's tallest mountain reversing a change made by former President Obama while he was in office.
Speaking at a conservative TurningPoints USA conference in Phoenix, the 78-year-old said he would rename Alaska's Mount Denali to Mount McKinley after the 25th president.
'They took his name off Mount McKinley,' Trump told supporters on Sunday. He praised McKinley as a 'great president' and said his administration would bring back the name Mount McKinley 'because I think he deserves it.'
It comes after Obama sided with the state of Alaska in the long-running dispute over the highest mountain peak's name in 2015 and had it changed
Former President Clinton Hospitalized

Those of us gray-haired folks who were around and watching politics in the '90s remember Bill Clinton, the first Baby Boomer president, as a young chief executive. Clinton was the third-youngest president to assume office at 46 years old, beaten in that record only by John F. Kennedy and Theodore Roosevelt. But time marches on for us all; now former President Clinton is 78 years old and has had some health issues. On Monday, he was admitted to MedStar Georgetown University Hospital for testing after developing a fever.. Clinton, 78, "has been admitted to MedStar Georgetown University Hospital for testing and observation after developing a fever," said Angel Ureña,
New Yorkers were up in arms Monday one day after an illegal Guatemalan immigrant allegedly burned a sleeping straphanger to death aboard a Brooklyn subway train — while bystanders did nothing.
Horrifying video footage of the incident shows at least three gawkers — one of them seen filming the shocking fatal blaze on his phone — and an NYPD cop standing outside the subway car as flames engulfed the unidentified victim after the Sunday morning attack.“Nobody came to her aid,” said Guardian Angels founder and community activist Curtis Sliwa. “There’s no doubt that people don’t want to get involved. It’s the Daniel Penny factor. It’s frozen people.

killers and mass murderers 2 days before Christmas 24 replies
They weren’t run over by a reindeer.
President Biden on Monday commuted the sentences of 37 of 40 men on federal death row — a list that includes at least five child killers and several mass murderers — in a stunning act of clemency just two days before Christmas.
Biden, 82, gave the reprieve to the nation’s most violent murderers — nine of whom were found too dangerous to live after butchering fellow inmates — as part of his effort at “ensuring a fair and effective justice system,” the White House said.
Someone acting for the president just made a decision that only a president can make and commuted the sentences of 37 of the 40 murderers on federal death row out of a sense of someone's moral imperative.
The Office of the President of the United States of America announced the commutations early Monday morning of Christmas week. A statement issued by the White House said the president was "guided by my conscience" to commute the death penalties for some of the worst of the worst offenders in America.
It begs the question of how consciously Joe Biden does anything these days

Biden for controversial commutations:
‘Death penalty is racist’ 22 replies
Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.) commended President Biden Monday for commuting the sentences of 37 federal inmates on death row, arguing that capital punishment is “racist.”
“There is no action more powerful or righteous than sparing someone’s life, and today President Biden is doing just that,” the member of the far-left “Squad” of liberal lawmakers said in a statement.
Pressley, 50, described the 82-year-old commander in chief’s decision to spare dozens of convicted murderers and rapists from death as a “historic and groundbreaking act of compassion that will save lives, address the deep racial disparities in our criminal legal system, and send a powerful message about redemption, decency, and humanity.”
Ethics Committee Final Report: 'Substantial

Evidence' Gaetz Committed Statutory Rape (Update) 22 replies
This is what's known as the "other shoe dropping."
Matt Gaetz had hoped to avoid public disclosure of the results of the House Ethics Committee investigation into numerous allegations of corruption and wrongdoing. His successful attack on Kevin McCarthy's Speakership came in part because McCarthy refused to quash the probe. Gaetz clearly intended to use the strange sequence this past month where Gaetz resigned his office just after winning another House term in order to force the committee to seal the results. Instead, the Ethics Committee voted to publish its final report on Gaetz. Before they could do that, though, it leaked to a number of news outlets this morning
Colombian President Gustavo Petro has slammed Donald Trump’s proposal to retake the Panama Canal.
Petro, a former Marxist guerilla and vocal supporter of Joe Biden, wrote in a post on the X platform that the number of illegal migrants crossing heading to the southern border would increase by “millions” unless Trump recognized the canal belongs to Panama.
He wrote:
Until the last consequences I will be on the side of Panama and the defense of its sovereignty.
If the new US government wants to talk business, we will talk business, face to face, and for the benefit of our people, but dignity will never be negotiated.

as messy speaker battle threatens to delay
2024 certification 20 replies
Allies of Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., are urging President-elect Trump to publicly reaffirm support for the House GOP leader to avoid a messy, protracted battle that could delay the certification of his own victory. "If we have some kind of protracted fight where we can’t elect a speaker — the speaker’s not elected; we’re not sworn in. And if we’re not sworn in, we can’t certify the election," Rep. Carlos Gimenez, R-Fla., told Fox News Digital.
"I would hope that President Trump would chime in and talk to those who are maybe a little hesitant, and say, ‘We’ve got to get going. We don’t have time.’"
Soon-to-be President Donald Trump has talked about getting rid of the U.S. income tax and replacing it with a system of tariffs. He has come under heavy criticism from Democrats and many economists. But average Americans appear to like the idea, with a plurality favoring Trump’s idea, the latest I&I/TIPP Poll shows.
The December online I&I/TIPP Poll asked 1,441 adults across the country the following question: “President Trump has talked about replacing the income tax with tariffs (taxes on selected imports). Would you support or oppose such a move?” The poll has a margin error of +/-2.6 percentage points.
Christianity today is “paganism” and Christians are “pagans” and “not believers,” according to Florida Imam Abu Usama At-Thahabi, who urged Muslims to reject Western cultural influences and warned them against wishing others a “merry Christmas” or even “happy holidays.”
In his Friday, December 20, sermon at the Masjid As-Sunnah mosque and Islamic center serving the Orlando, Florida, area, the American-born Abu Usama delivered a scathing critique of Christianity, declaring it polluted with pagan practices, while urging Muslims to remain steadfast in their identity.

Democrat mega-donor Lindy Li, who served as the Women’s Co-Chair and Mid-Atlantic Regional Chair at the Democratic National Committee, announced she is leaving the Democrat party.
Li has come under fire from leftists after recent appearances criticizing Democrats.
She appeared on Fox News to discuss how Barack and Michelle Obama’s delay in endorsing Harris was “the silence heard around the world.”
She also expressed support for Donald Trump’s nominee for Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, telling Fox, “I actually think he’s been a pretty good guy.”
