Highlights of the News

Donald John Trump is our president.

ITEM 1: United Press International reported, "Negotiators for the Afghanistan government and Taliban insurgents have reached a breakthrough agreement on the rules and agenda for long-awaited peace talks, both sides said Wednesday.

"The deal for the U.S.-brokered talks aimed at ending the 19-year Afghan conflict comes nearly three months after they began in Doha, Qatar."

President Trump ends 19 years of futility.

Afghanistan is the graveyard of great armies. We should have listened to history.

ITEM 2: Just the News reported, "Over a third of U.S. voters disapprove of the way Joe Biden has handled his public role in the weeks following the Nov. 3 election, according to a new Just the News Daily Poll with Scott Rasmussen.

"Among voters polled, 36% said they do not approve of Biden's actions over the course of November and into early December. The Democratic politician, who multiple media outlets have claimed won the 2020 election, has been busy naming potential Cabinet members and proposing administration appointees. 

"A slim majority, 53%, said they approve of Biden's performance."

He ought to admit stealing the election, and then gracefully concede.

ITEM 3: Becca Lower reported, "CNN Accuses Tucker Carlson of Getting His Facts Wrong, but They End up Beclowning Themselves."

I soured on Carlson, and Fox is CNN-lite now.

But I link this story for nostalgic purposes. Once upon a time, this would have amused me. Now, it is not my monkey, not my circus.

ITEM 4: The New York Post reported, "A Texas waitress says she was thrilled to receive a $2,000 tip on a bill — only to find out from the restaurant that she won’t take home a single cent.

"Emily Bauer had only been a server for about two weeks when she was scheduled for a busy Sunday shift at Red Hook Seafood and Bar in San Antonio, news station KVUE reported.

"While working all the tables, she kept apologizing to a man seated in her section for being slow.

"'He was just like, I understand. He also mentioned he owned restaurants, so he knew how hard it was to be a server,' Bauer said."

He left a $2,000 tip.

The story said, "But she said her excitement was quickly dashed when the restaurant told her it can’t process a tip larger than $500.

"Other servers suggested that the restaurant give her four separate tips of $500, but the seafood joint refused, KVUE reported.

"It is unclear why the restaurant couldn’t process $500 of the $2,000 tip to give to Bauer, in line with its limits."

This is why we have lawyers.

ITEM 5: The Statesman reported, "Austin mayor stressed residents ‘need to stay home.’ He was vacationing in Cabo at the time."

Someone send a shipment of tar and feathers to Austin immediately.

It's that important.

ITEM 6: The Hill reported, "Former FBI Director James Comey will begin teaching at Columbia Law School next year.

"The school announced on Tuesday that Comey will be a senior research scholar and part of the Reuben Mark Initiative for Organizational Character and Leadership beginning in January. He will also lead a seminar called Lawyers and Leaders, according to its website.

"Comey will take on a role as one of two Leaders-in-Residence through the Mark Initiative’s Leader-in-Residence Program, which invites executives from government agencies, corporations and top law firms to teach classes at Columbia and share their professional experience with students through advising and engaging in other programming at the school."

Have you noticed how well they take care of those who tried to sabotage the Trump administration?

ITEM 7: Zero Hedge reported, "A contractor for Dominion Voting Systems who was present during the Nov. 3 election at Detroit's TCF Center testified at a Senate Committee hearing on Tuesday, telling the panel that she saw fraud throughout the day, as well as on Nov. 4, according to the Epoch Times.

The whistleblower said, "What I witnessed at the TCF Center was complete fraud. The whole 27 hours I was there, there were batches of ballots being ran through the tabulating machines numerous times, being counted 8 to 10 times. I watched this with my own eyes; I was there to assist with IT.

"They were allowed to do whatever they wanted to do. I, Nick, and Samuel, that worked for Dominion, they were on the stage. They had a contract employee, me, and another one that was from Texas — I have his name right here, Miles Smiley, 90-year-old man, there to assist with IT work. And he did not have any kind of background in IT and lived in Tennessee. So this man was just walking around aimlessly. I was really the only one running around like crazy helping these people."

If John McCain Roberts turns coward, the republic is dead.

ITEM 8: Republican Senator John Kennedy announced, "The House of Representatives today passed Sens. John Kennedy (R-La.) and Chris Van Hollen’s (D-Md.) bill to protect American investors and their savings from foreign companies that operate on U.S. stock exchanges while refusing to submit to Securities and Exchange Commission oversight. The Senate passed the bill unanimously in May."

The announcement also said, "The Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act prohibits securities of a company from being listed on any of the U.S. securities exchanges if the company has failed to comply with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s audits for three years in a row.

"The bill would also require public companies to disclose whether they are owned or controlled by a foreign government, including China’s communist government."

Too little, too late?

ITEM 9: CNS News reported, "The Department of Justice announced that three men on federal death row, who committed brutal murders many years ago, are scheduled to be executed by lethal injection -- one on December 11, one on Jan. 14, and one on Jan. 15."

First up is "Alfred Bourgeois abused, tortured, and beat to death his young daughter.  After a paternity test identified Bourgeois as the father of a two-and-a-half-year-old girl and a court ordered that he pay child support to the mother, Bourgeois took temporary custody of his daughter and brought her with him on a trucking route. While on the trip, Bourgeois systematically abused and tortured her — including by punching her in the face, whipping her with an electrical cord, and burning the bottom of her foot with a cigarette lighter."

Next  is "Cory Johnson, who murdered seven people -- Peyton Johnson, Louis Johnson, Bobby Long, Dorothy Armstrong, Anthony Carter, Linwood Chiles, and Curtis Thorne — in furtherance of his drug-trafficking activities."

And on January 15, we say goodbye to "Dustin John Higgs who kidnapped and murdered three women — Tamika Black, 19; Tanji Jackson, 21; and Mishann Chinn, 23," said the DOJ. "One evening in January 1996, Higgs and two friends drove to Washington, D.C., to pick up Black, Jackson, and Chinn, whom Higgs had invited to his apartment in Laurel, Maryland.  At the apartment, Jackson rebuffed an advance by Higgs and the women left."

Only a sick and savage society would keep these men alive.

ITEM 10: Just the News reported, "Former President Obama said Wednesday that Democrats' 2020 political message to defund police departments across the country has eroded support for the party."

He was OK with burning and looting business, but not with telling people what Democrats plan to do.

Obama is a stain on the American presidency who stoked racial fears, bombed innocent countries, used the FBI to spy on political opponents, and lied to pass Obamacare.

In short, he is everything they falsely claim President Trump is.

ITEM 11: CNBC reported, "The next few months of the Covid-19 pandemic will be among 'the most difficult in the public health history of this nation,' Dr. Robert Redfield, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said Wednesday."

Liar.

Smallpox killed one-third of the people who caught it.

This thing kills less than 1%.

And most people who have it don't notice.

ITEM 12: Campus Reform reported, "The statue of George Washington at Miami University in Ohio was covered with a tarp as part of a university-approved "art installation" aimed at the "problematic" views surrounding the nation's first president.

"The covering of George Washington is part of a project sponsored by the university's architecture and interior design department titled 'What's up with George?' and is designed to engage the university community "in a series of conversations about race, racism, and the meaning of monuments in our nation," according to a university spokesperson."

The Miami tribe had a long history of taking slaves that pre-dated Columbus.

They also owned black slaves. Many tribes did.

ITEM 13: Xiden (as a reader calls him) told Tom Friedman of the New York Times, "We're Going to Fight Like Hell by Investing in America First."

4 years ago, America First was rayyyyyy-cist.

Then again, so is Xiden, according to Kamala Harris.

ITEM 14: A New York Times headline, "Democrats Push for Stimulus Talks With a Bipartisan Plan."

If it were bipartisan, the headline would say Democrats and Republicans push...

To the media, bipartisan means Republicans capitulate.

ITEM 15: Breitbart reported, "A falsified image published by the Chinese Foreign Ministry depicting an Australian soldier beheading an Afghan child also generated outrage among Australians. Sam Kennard, the CEO of Australian Self Storage company Kennards, urged Australian businesses to eliminate Chinese suppliers on Wednesday, News.com.au reported."

The Global War On Terrorism was a distraction.

Red China's threat is the real deal.
