CAMPAIGN FINANCES: Trump tweeted, “Are the Democrats allowed to pay $11,000,000, $2,000,000, and $500,000 to get the ENDORSEMENT of Beyoncé, Oprah, and Reverend Al? I don’t think so! Beyoncé didn’t sing, Oprah didn’t do much of anything (she called it ‘expenses’), and Al is just a third rate Con Man. So what is going on here??? Totally against the law, and I have heard there are many others!!!”
LEGACY: In the last 16 years, we’ve had 12 years of hard-left Democrat presidents who got everything they wanted. And now, for the first time since FDR and the Great Depression, Republicans outnumber Democrats.
NEW ORLEANS: Early this morning, a man intentionally drove a pickup truck into a New Year’s crowd on Bourbon Street in the French Quarter, then opened fire on police officers. Police say his behavior was intentional. “This man was trying to run over as many people as he could,” said New Orleans Police Department Superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick Kirkpatrick. Twelve people are dead and dozens injured. Two police officers who were hit by gunfire are in stable condition.
TELEMARKETER: Comment on FB – “Maybe I should evangelize instead of pretending I don’t speak English and hanging up.”
TRANSITION: So far, Trump has suggested that Canada become the 51st U.S. state, that the U.S. buy Greenland from Denmark, and that we should retake control of the Panama Canal if something isn’t done to ease rising shipping costs required for using the waterway linking the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.

GRAMMY NOTES: When my niece was 5, we drove past the mall and she pointed out the J.C. Penney’s anchor store saying, “There’s Penney’s! You know, when I was little, I called it Jay Cee Penney’s!” then laughed hysterically about how silly she had been way back when.
