Highlights of the News

ITEM 1: Al-Jazeera reported, "A volley of rockets has targeted the United States’ embassy in Baghdad’s heavily fortified Green Zone, Iraq’s military said, sparking fears of renewed unrest as next month’s anniversary of the US assassination of a top Iranian general draws near.

"An Iraqi military statement on Sunday said an an outlawed group launched eight rockets targeting the Green Zone, injuring one Iraqi security person manning a checkpoint and causing material damage to some cars and a residential complex, which is usually empty.

"The US embassy’s C-RAM defense system, which is used to destroy missiles midair, was activated to deflect the attack, the embassy said in a statement."

So they hit some cars and an empty building.

Testing the perimeter?

ITEM 2: Just the News reported, "The Secular Democrats of America PAC prepared a report for Joe Biden and his transition team that outlines a roadmap to 'boldly restore a vision of constitutional secularism and respect in the land for religious and intellectual pluralism.'

"The federal political action committee 'represents secular Democratic individuals and organizations' and advocates for 'secular governance, promote respect and inclusion of nonreligious Americans, and mobilize nonreligious voters.'

"The proposal was formally presented by Democratic Reps. Jamie Raskin and Jared Huffman, co-chairs of the Congressional Freethought Caucus, and endorsed by Democratic Rep. Jerry McNerney."

This nation was founded by white Christian nationalists.

Fascists want to destroy that nation and Christianity. I do not know which they hate most.

ITEM 3: Via Weasel Zippers, the Washington Post tweeted, "Every time you listen to Bing Crosby’s White Christmas, about five people have died from the coronavirus between the beginning and the end of the song."

Unless that is a 10-minute version of the song, the Washington Post is wrong.

And the No. 1 killer in America remains heart disease followed by cancer, then covid 19.

But the Washington Post is onto something.

Every time you watch Chris Cuomo's show, 75 people die of heart disease, 68 die of cancer, 19 die accidentally, 18 die from chronic lower respiratory diseases, 17 die of a stroke, 15 die of a drug overdose, 14 die of Alzheimer's, and 10 die of diabetes.

Using the Post's formula, Fredo kills almost as many people as his brother.

UPDATE: A reader pointed out abortion kills 90 Americans an hour, topping heart disease.

ITEM 4: ESPN reported, "Rose Bowl officials announced Saturday that the College Football Playoff semifinal scheduled for the Rose Bowl will be moved to AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas."

Another company forced to leave the Golden State for the Lone Star state because of regulations.

ITEM 5: The Blaze reported, "Former Democrat presidential candidate Andrew Yang is calling for a system people can use to provide proof that they have been vaccinated for covid 19, suggesting something 'like a bar code they can download to their phone' would make it easier to safely congregate."

The Original Nazis tattooed numbers on the arms of the Jews in concentration camps.

Remember, he is running as the sane candidate for mayor of New York City.

ITEM 6: Via Glenn Reynolds, the New York Times original headline said, "The virus is spreading unabated in California despite strict stay-at-home orders."

Now it says, "As California I.C.U.s fill up, the dead are counted by the hour."

There are many reasons to change a headline. Spelling errors. Factual errors. New information changes the story.

At the Times, they change headlines for telling the truth.

ITEM 7: The New York Post reported, "Los Angeles’ new district attorney told the family of a murder victim they should “keep their mouth shut” — unwittingly, he later said — as they protested his office’s kid-gloves handling of the accused killers.

"'It’s unfortunate that some people do not have enough education to keep their mouth shut for a moment so we can talk,' George Gascon said in a video obtained by Fox 11 Los Angeles.

"'My son can never speak again because he was murdered,' shouts a woman identified as the mother of Joshua Rodriguez, who was kidnapped and killed in 2015.

"'My son matters!' she screamed as Gascon walked away. 'And you’re going to do nothing about it!'

"Gascon — who was elected last month promising a sweeping left-wing overhaul of the criminal justice system — was speaking to the press in front of a Pomona courthouse Friday when he was confronted by the family about his intention to drop the punishment sought against Rodriguez’s killers, eliminating the chance they could receive no-parole life sentences."

Criminal Lives Matter.

ITEM 8: The Associated Press reported, "A record 621 people died of drug overdoses in San Francisco so far this year, a staggering number that far outpaces the 173 deaths from COVID-19 the city has seen thus far.

"The crisis fueled by the powerful painkiller fentanyl could have been far worse if it wasn't for the nearly 3,000 times Narcan was used from January to the beginning of November to save someone from the brink of death, the San Francisco Chronicle reported Saturday.

"The data reflects the number of times people report using Narcan to the Drug Overdose Prevention and Education Project, a city-funded program that coordinates San Francisco’s response to overdose, or return to refill their supply. Officials at the DOPE Project said that since the numbers are self-reported, they are probably a major undercount.

"Last year, 441 people died of drug overdoses — a 70% increase from 2018 — and 2,610 potential overdoses were prevented by Narcan, a medication commonly sprayed up the nose to reverse an opioid overdose, according to data from the city Medical Examiner's office and the DOPE Project."

A commenter at the San Francisco Chronicle wrote, "Now put this in perspective, the city gives addicts free needles, safe spaces to shoot up, even funding hotel stays for addicts and even going so far as working with NGOs or non profits to actually fund drug purchases to feed their addictions, and overdose deaths are outpacing 'the greatest health crisis of our time,' yet these same arbiters of your reality are forcibly, under penalty of arrest, closing businesses and denying a livelihood to millions of productive citizens. And these people will never lose another election until Yellowstone pops or another asteroid hits us. 

"We live in clown world folks."

I believe The Lord will act before Yellowstone pops.

Or maybe that is the action He will take.

ITEM 9: Erica Newland is a lawyer at the communist Project Democracy. Before that, Obama planted her as a lawyer at the Justice Department from 2016-18. She was part of the resistance.

She wrote a piece for the New York Times, "I’m Haunted by What I Did as a Lawyer in the Trump Justice Department."

She cited what she falsely called "the first Muslim ban."

It was a moratorium on travel to 6 countries. Obama too had moratoriums on some of the same countries.

She said the first order "was sweeping and sloppy."

Who wrote it?

DNYUZ reposted it if you want to see just how evil the Times, Project Democracy, and Obama are.

ITEM 10: Politico reported, " Undeterred by dismissals and admonitions from judges, President Donald Trump’s campaign continued with its unprecedented efforts to overturn the results of the Nov 3. election Sunday, saying it had filed a new petition with the Supreme Court.

The petition seeks to reverse a trio of Pennsylvania Supreme Court cases having to do with mail-in ballots and asks the court to reject voters’ will and allow the Pennsylvania General Assembly to pick its own slate of electors."

Why give up?

The 3 justices he put on the bench might finally see the light and give him his day in court.

ITEM 11: The Daily Mail reported, "The debate over who should receive COVID-19 vaccines next has intensified following suggestions that the elderly should be de-prioritized because they are more likely to be white.

"'Older populations are whiter,' explained Harald Schmidt, an expert in ethics and health policy at the University of Pennsylvania, in an interview with the New York Times.

"'Society is structured in a way that enables them to live longer. Instead of giving additional health benefits to those who already had more of them, we can start to level the playing field a bit,' he elaborated.

"Following the first week of vaccine rollout targeting healthcare workers in high-risk roles, a federal panel of vaccination experts is set to hold an emergency meeting over the weekend to recommend who should be next to get vaccinated."

Medical ethicists always seem to want to deny treatment and kill people.

ITEM 12: The Associated Press reported, "As COVID-19 cases skyrocketed before the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, Dr. Deborah Birx, coordinator of the White House coronavirus response, warned Americans to 'be vigilant' and limit celebrations to 'your immediate household.'

"For many Americans that guidance has been difficult to abide, including for Birx herself.

"The day after Thanksgiving, she traveled to one of her vacation properties on Fenwick Island in Delaware. She was accompanied by three generations of her family from two households. Birx, her husband Paige Reffe, a daughter, son-in-law and two young grandchildren were present.

"The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has asked Americans not to travel over the holidays and discourages indoor activity involving members of different households."

The lockdowns are bull-oney. Once again, the ruling class mocks us.

It is tar and feathers time in America.

ITEM 13: Chrissy Evert Wallace said, "There has been some criticism recently from conservatives, including some conservatives on Fox News about the fact that First Lady-to-be Jill Biden goes by the title doctor. I wonder what is the Biden’s reaction to that, especially given the fact that so many people over the years — I think of Dr. Henry Kissinger, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King have gone by the title doctor, even though they’re not medical doctors and nobody seems to have made a fuss about that."

So Missus Biden is right up there with Martin Luther King Jr.

And Wallace is right up there with Smithers when it comes to sucking up.

ITEM 14: Zero Hedge reported, "Congress Reaches Agreement On $900 Billion Stimulus Deal."

So they will just print up some more money and give most of it to family and friends (and donors).

No one will audit.

The press will show all the curiosity of a sponge on who gets what and how much.

The story said covid 19 relief includes:

Historic expansion of Pell Grants: The package includes the largest expansion of Pell Grant recipients in over a decade, reaching 500,000 new recipients and ensuring more than 1.5 million students will now receive the maximum benefit.

Broadband access: The agreement invests $7 billion to increase access to broadband, including a new Emergency Broadband Benefit to help millions of students, families and unemployed workers afford the broadband they need during the pandemic.

Fights the climate crisis: The agreement includes sweeping clean energy reforms, R&D enhancements, efficiency incentives, and extends clean energy tax credits to create hundreds of thousands of jobs across the clean economy.  The package also phases out superpollutant HFCs, positioning the U.S. to lead the world in avoiding up to 0.5 degree Celsius of global warming.

Veto.

ITEM 15: The Coney Island Blog reported, "NYC Restaurants to Ban Cuomo from Dining."

The story said, "Struggling restaurant owners city-wide are permanently banning New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo from setting foot into their establishments.

"Effective immediately.

"According to bar owner Larry Baird, 'He can eat at some shitty roadside diner outside of Albany but he will not be served anywhere in New York City, known universally as the world’s greatest dining destination! If he has to use the restroom he can go pee on my street-corner! That’s what he wants anyway!'"

The National Restaurant Association should join the cause and add most governors and all Democrats to the list.

They will lose business?

Hahaha.

They already have.

ITEM 16: Douglas Braff reported, "Astronomers might have received the first radio signals from a planet outside of our solar system, The Independent‘s Andrew Griffen reported Thursday.

"The breakthrough, according to the scientists who found it, could pave the way for an important new means of examining and understanding far-flung planetary bodies.

"This news is the latest in otherworldly stories reported this year relating to UFOs and little green men. That they aren’t the more memorable stories from this year goes to show how bizarre the 2020 news cycle has been."

Now you know why President Trump created the Space Force.

ITEM 17: BBC reported, "'Unconscious bias training' is being scrapped for civil servants in England, with ministers saying it does not work.

"The training, intended to tackle patterns of discrimination and prejudice, is used in many workplaces.

"The government says there is no evidence it changes attitudes -- and is urging other public sector employers to end this type of training."

It is a fad promoted by personnel directors to maintain their phony baloney jobs.

ITEM 18: CNBC reported, "Tesla enters the S&P 500 with 1.69% weighting in the benchmark, fifth largest."

If you are invested in an S&P 500 stock index fund (and who wouldn't be) you now own part of a company that builds cars that take 8 hours to refuel.

ITEM 19: The New York Times reported President Donald John Trump will impose martial law!

The president declared it fake news.

The Times no longer is a reliable source of anything. It seeks awards, not the truth. It received a Peabody for 12 podcasts interviewing an ISIS terrorist -- who turned out to be a fake. It received two Pulitzers for promoting Obama's Russian hoax. 

It never returned them because it revels in its lies.

I received dozens of awards in my career. After I retired, I dumped them in the trash. Who cares? The truth is all that matters.

The Hill headlined its story, "Trump pushes back on reported talk of martial law: 'Fake News.'"

He did not push back.

He denied the story.

The Hill refused to question the Times about the veracity of its report.

That is journalisn't.

ITEM 20: Speaking of Fake News, The Hill reported, "'Saturday Night Live' unveils new Joe Biden after Jim Carrey's exit."

I am more interested in who will portray Hunter Biden. Randy Quaid could use some work.

Oh, I forgot. Kids are off limits.

Hunter's 50.

ITEM 21: Kurt Schlichter tweeted, "I think it’s very good for politicians to get the vaccine first. It’s important to set the example. Also, if it causes mutations then we find out without having lost anything important."

Fact-check: TRUE.

ITEM 22: Zero Hedge reported, "According to The Holland Sentinel, a 42-year-old man living in his parent's basement sued his mother and father for throwing out his extensive pornography and sex toy collection. 

"Paul and Beth Werking, of Grand Haven, Michigan, were sued by their son David Werking after they destroyed 12 moving boxes of pornographic films, magazines, and sex toys, valued at more than $29,000."

They should have thrown him out and kept the porn.

FINALLY, here. Cry your eyeballs out.

A reader sent me this. I have the best readers.
