I’m not sure that mass murderers Nidal Hasan and Shamsud-Din Jabbar are not more deserving of Presidential Medals of Freedom than George Soros. With the award to Soros, Biden has gone unspeakably low. E.E. Cummings (e.e. cummings) asked in one of his poems: “how numb can an unworld get?” He answered: “number.” By the same token, we might ask, “How low can an unpresident go?” Answer: I’m afraid we will find out before January 20 if we haven’t already.
Vice president-elect J.D. Vance is thinking along the same lines. (X) Soros was “in good company,” of course. (X) So let it be written. So let it be done.

We can’t be sure, since his alleged presidency still has 16 days to go. But Biden’s awarding the Presidential Medal of Freedom to George Soros is likely to stand as his final insult to America.
In honoring Soros, Biden said:
“Born into a Jewish family in Hungary, George Soros escaped Nazi occupation to build a life of freedom for himself and countless others around the world,” reads the Soros citation.
Soros has been a relentless enemy of freedom throughout his adult life.
“His inspiring generosity reminds us all of our capacity and our obligation to stand up to the abuse of power and to be guardians of democracy and all people yearning to be

After the current terrorist attack in New Orleans, NBC has come up with a report from so-called experts blaming the right wing extremists for most attacks in the U.S. This NBC News article is meant to divert blame from the FBI and others for failing to block true terrorists while spending their time targeting Trump supporters.
According to the federal government, the main terror threat to the U.S. now is lone actors inspired by extremism ideology. Those ideologies range widely. The majority of attackers are on the far right, as in the 2022 Buffalo supermarket shooting. But sometimes, as in the New Orleans attack, the driving ideology is radical Islamism.

President-elect Donald Trump on Saturday called for Judge Juan Merchan to be disbarred after he rejected Trump's bid to toss out his conviction in Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's hush money case.
"The judge should be disbarred!" Trump wrote in a lengthy TRUTH Social post. "This is why people, and companies, are FLEEING New York - A corrupt court system."
Judge Merchan on Friday rejected Trump's bid to toss out the conviction in his New York hush money trial. He is expected to be sentenced on Jan. 10.
The judge indicated Friday he was unlikely to impose jail time, and that he intends instead to sentence Trump to an "unconditional discharge."

The Bible resonates across the ages, always having something to say to us no matter what may have changed in the world as a whole. It’s as true in 2025 as it ever has been.
So, we’ll contemplate the events of the past year or so through the lens of this passage from Matthew: “So the last will be first, and the first will be last.”
We begin with that human colossus overshadowing the entire globe: Donald Trump. We all know the story, even as it transmutes into legend, something that will be told, retold, analyzed, disparaged, and rekindled for generations to come.
Even as he reached out to his opposition, Trump,

They say one should never speak ill of the dead, so I won’t… kind of.
Instead, I’ll simply say about the death of Jimmy Carter that it marks the end of the narrative of the activist left-wing president.
When he was elected in 1976, Carter was the first of his kind (and not just in the sense of the Southern woman who said, “Well, it’s nice to have a president that don’t have a accent.”). A man running as a left-wing populist, an activist intent on taking advantage of the confusion and despondency left by the Nixon administration, a politician who intended to take the country

The infamous socialite and so-called “Catwoman” Jocelyn Wildenstein passed away Tuesday at age 84. A case study in extreme plastic surgery, she was also a canary in the coal mine for our cultural obsession with augmentation.
She should have been a cautionary tale, like Michael Jackson, of the dangers of going too far in the quest for perfection. But now, new generations of influencers and celebrities are spending just as much to have even more procedures in the same distorted pursuit. Unfortunately for Wildenstein, she was so far ahead of her time in terms of surgical advancements that she ended up looking botched — freakish, many would say —

Happy Friday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. (Snip) There is a lot of reflection all over the place as we wind down the longest one-term presidency in the history of the United States of America. It seems as if Joe Biden has been in office for forty years, not four. As we learned on New Year's Day, it's not time to breathe a sigh of relief just yet.
During the bad drug trip that was the 2020 presidential election, Biden and his advocates kept saying that "decency" and "dignity" were on the ballot. Anyone who had followed Biden's career knew how laughable it was

So busy has the FBI been these past four years rounding up the “terrorists” who “stormed” the Capitol on January 6, 2021 -- nearly 1600 and counting -- that they have not had time to track guys like New Orleans lifetaker Shamsud-Din Jabbar.
Make no mistake: From the Feds’ perspective, the J6ers were terrorists. To read the charging documents of those arrested shows just how much high-level time was frivolously spent identifying these citizens, charging them, arresting them, and making sure they were convicted. In the zero-sum game of law and order, the only ones who benefitted from the feds’ January 6 obsession were lethal clowns like Jabbar.

It seems like just this summer that I wished Presidentish Joe Biden a "fondless farewell" as "easily the worst human being to hold the office of president of the United States." [Steve, it was just last summer —Editor] But now that the man whose "ability to f*** things up" has never been underestimated at this site prepares to leave the office he barely held, let's reminisce about the things we won't miss the most.
"Biden exited the stage last night," I wrote of his too-late-for-primetime DNC farewell address, "largely forgotten before he'd walked onto it." He'll vacate the White House the same way on the morning of Jan. 20.

Following up on John’s post regarding the terrorist attack outside the Trump International Hotel yesterday in Las Vegas, I want to note that police now say camp-fuel canisters and large firework mortars were stuffed into the back of a Tesla Cybertruck. These materials caused the explosion that killed the driver and inflicted minor injuries on seven others.
Elon Musk and Tesla immediately provided assistance to law enforcement in the investigation. Elon himself reported on X that he had “confirmed that the explosion was caused by very large fireworks and/or a bomb carried in the bed of the rented Cybertruck and is unrelated to the vehicle itself.” In fact, the design

Joe Biden’s disastrous presidency is coming to an end, and according to reports, White House staffers describe a somber mood at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, with Biden spending his final weeks in office reflecting on what could have been and probably wondering what other monsters he can pardon.
While Biden has recently expressed regret over dropping out and says he could have won, according to the Wall Street Journal, that belief “isn’t widely shared in the White House or among the Democratic establishment, where the more common view is that the party would have suffered a much larger electoral defeat and lost even more congressional seats had Biden remained the nominee.”
