Cynics on the road ahead for federal law enforcement |
When laws seem not to apply to those who create or enforce them, skepticism can turn into cynicism.
If left unresolved, cynicism can move toward a critical mass that, when met, bids trouble for the fate of a nation.
Today, concerning current political events, more than a few people toggle back and forth between skepticism and cynicism. |

Canada’s CBC Prefers President Donald Trump ‘Home Alone’ in the White House |
Canada’s state-controlled television network, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), is, in effect, in on the ‘Hate Donald Trump Mob’—and has been there since 2015.
Back in Christmas 2015, the first time the CBC’s cutting of Donald Trump’s cameo appearance in the movie ‘Home Alone 2: Lost in New York” was acknowledged on Twitter. |

Princely Finance and Taxation |
One would have hoped that financial rip-offs committed by medieval princes would have been permanently shelved when liberal enlightenment ended the divine right of kings. Instead some kind of divine right of bureaucrats has forced too much in-your-face and in-your-wallet government. Today’s version of greedy royalty.
And the remedy lies in the eruptions of popular uprisings against intrusive government.
Continuing promises by Fed Chairman Reckless to use the “printing press”, “helicopters” and even imagined “bazookas” as well as today’s “Repos” to inflate anything should be considered startling only in the resort to honesty. Euphemisms for currency depreciation started with the original promoters of the Fed and the tout was that a “flexible” currency would prevent serious financial contractions.
Which would prevent recessions.
Since the Fed opened its doors in January 1914, there have been 18 recessions, so the original theory has not been working. |

Ease One Life The Aching |
If I can stop one heart from breaking,
My circadian clock having been set permanently by years of farming, I arise early and go for walks.
One late December morning while strolling along, I ruminated about how past failures could be converted to future successes, yet knowing from experience that few human endeavors temporarily relieve but end up deluding people more than New Year’s Resolutions.
Humorist Mark Twain said that all a man needs is ignorance and confidence — then success is sure. Legendary football coach Vince Lombardi’s advice to his players was more succinct: “Quitters never win and winners never quit.” |

Jewish Trump Haters Learning Wrong Lesson From History |
Dear Jewish Trump Haters: It’s not 1933 and these times more resemble 1859 or 1959.
We are not on the verge of a second Nazi Germany in the United States; the real risk is a second Civil War unless everybody calms down and stops demonizing the other side. And we have the booming economy of 1959, too.
In an era of incredible religious tolerance, it is delusional to assert that President Trump is Hitler, and that Republicans are by implication, Nazis. This bizarre thinking is literally what a Jewish woman New Yorker told me recently, that she hates the president and cannot associate with anyone who supports him, notably me. No matter what I said, she would hear nothing of it: Trump is Hitler. |

Joe Biden, Presidential Hopeful ‘Pander Bear’ |
When was the last time Democrat presidential frontrunner Joe Biden turned up in Mexico bearing gifts and meals for Central American migrants waiting to cross the border?
Try never.
“Biden traveled to a camp in Matamoros on the southern border this week bearing gifts and meals for Central American migrants—all hoping to trespass across the border illegally or exploit our asylum system with the help of “Open Borders Inc.” profiteers. Biden was accompanied by the executive director of Catholic Charities of the Rio Grande Valley. (Michelle Malkin, Town Hall, Dec.25, 2019) |

1,000 Christians Killed This Year in Nigeria |
WASHINGTON—For many months, Save the Persecuted Christians (STPC), which advocates on behalf of hundreds of millions of persecuted Christians worldwide, has urged a U.S. special envoy to Nigeria and the Lake Chad region because of extreme and heightened violence against Christians there.
In 2019 alone, reported The Christian Post, over 1,000 Christians in Nigeria were killed by Boko Haram and Fulani extremists, while another 300 Christians were killed in Cameroon. A separate Nigeria-based civil society organization reported that at least 2,400 Christians were killed in Nigeria in 2018. |

Judicial Watch Sues CIA and DOJ for Communications of Eric Ciaramella |
(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced today that it filed Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuits against both the DOJ and CIA for communications of CIA employee Eric Ciaramella, who reportedly worked on Ukraine issues while on detail to both the Obama and Trump White Houses.
The lawsuit against the DOJ was filed after it failed to respond to November 2019 FOIA requests seeking communications between Ciaramella and former FBI agent Peter Strzok, former FBI Attorney Lisa Page, former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, and/or the Special Counsel’s Office (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of Justice (No. 1:19-cv-03809)). |

Israel’s Brain Power (Hightech) Features a Grand Decade |
According to PriceWaterouseCoopers, the 2019 volume of Israeli hightech exits (companies that were sold or held stock exchange offerings), totaled $9.9BN, compared to $4.9BN in 2018, $7.4BN in 2017, $14.9 in 2014, $7.6BN in 2016 and $1.2BN in 2010. If 10 follow-on deals are included (companies acquired more than once, or acquired after public offering), then the 2019 volume surges to $22BN. $4.5BN of the 2019 exits were in computing services and corporate software, $2.3BN in the chips sector, $1.7BN in life sciences, and $1BN in the Internet sector.

Time for Climate Sense |
Svante Arrhenius (1859-1927) was a Swedish scientist who first claimed that the burning of hydro-carbons like coal, oil, gas, peat and wood may cause global warming.
In 1895 he calculated (incorrectly) that a doubling of the atmospheric CO2 concentration would lead to a 4-5o C rise in global temperature.
However, Arrhenius suggested that this increase could be beneficial, making the various climates on Earth “more equable” and stimulating plant growth and food production.
The carbon dioxide scare is proving false - it’s time for some climate sense
Then a showman/politician, Al Gore, gave life to the theory that extra carbon dioxide due to human activities will cause dangerous global warming. |

A Dangerous Holiday |
Holidays are a calendar. They mark points in emotional and physical time. They remind of us who we are.
Many celebrate Chanukah as nothing more than celebrations of ‘celebration’, the rituals and rites of entertainment, a special food, a symbol whose meaning they don’t remember and a little family fun.
Chanukah is not a safe holiday. It is a victory celebration in a guerrilla war. It is a reminder that the most recent war on Jerusalem was preceded long before by Antiochus’s war on Jerusalem. It is a brief light in a period of great darkness.
As we light the menorah, bringing light out of that darkness, we are called on to remember to treasure the price of that light. It is brought forth through the divine matter of heavenly miracles and the earthly matter of suffering and blood. |

A Good Scapegoat is Almost as Good as a Solution |
The scapegoat in this case is President Donald Trump as portrayed by the Democrats.
Ever since Trump pulled off the greatest electoral upset of the century, he has become the scapegoat for the failure of the Democrat Party to “crown” Hillary Clinton as president of the United States. For 3 years, everything President Trump has said or done (and in his whole life) has been put under a microscope in hopes of finding something—anything— to bring Articles of Impeachment against him to remove him from office. So far, the partisan attacks have failed, even though the Democrats have put forth two phony Articles of Impeachment. |

Lies Palestinians Tell at Christmas |
When Israel relinquished control of Bethlehem to Yasser Arafat and the Palestinian Authority as part of the Oslo Accord agreement in 1995, 85% of this prosperous town were middle class Christians. Business and life was good when it was part of Israel.
By Christmas 2019, Christians are less than 10% of the population in an economically stricken town.
How did this come about? |
