ART OF THE DEAL: President Donald Trump announced agreements with nine of the largest pharmaceutical companies to offer drugs to Americans at lower prices. The deals with Amgen, Bristol Myers Squibb, Genentech, Merck, and five others will reduce costs for treatments related to autoimmune diseases, cancer, diabetes, and other disorders.

EPSTEIN: CLICK https://x.com/Bubblebathgirl/status/2002365509103144960 [:30] to see a montage of photos showing how chummy Bill Clinton was with this convicted pedophile. I have long suspected Trump resisted releasing these files to protect the office of the presidency from more of Clinton’s vile behavior.

EVERYDAY HEROES: [1:30] – Shout out to all the moms and dads out there who play with and celebrate their kids on a daily basis.
FILM HISTORY: [3:39] – The stop motion version of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer first aired on NBC on December 6, 1964. It took about 18 months to complete, with filming done in Japan, music recorded in England, and the voices recorded in Toronto. Nine of the puppets — including Santa and young Rudolph — were given to the producer’s secretary, who gave them to her nieces and nephews, who played with them under the Christmas tree. In the early 2000s, the family sold them to TimeandSpaceToys.com president Kevin A. Kriess who had them restored. In 2020, they were sold at auction for $368,000 sale price, then donated to the Center for Puppetry Arts in Atlanta.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS: President Trump granted many federal workers an unprecedented five-day holiday break over Christmas by adding two extra paid days off, the 24th and the 26th.
INDIANA: In 2022, between July and September, there were 2,967 abortions reported. This year, with the state having fully implemented its abortion ban, that number was 42. At this time, abortions are allowed only in instances of rape, incest, fatal fetal anomalies, or to prevent substantial permanent impairment of the pregnant woman’s life.

OPERATION HAWKEYE STRIKE: On Dec. 13, an ISIS gunman killed two U.S. Army soldiers and a civilian interpreter and wounded three others in Palmyra, Syria. Trump ordered a retaliation strike on dozens of ISIS infrastructure and weapons sites in Syria on Dec. 19.
War Secretary Pete Hegseth said, “This is not the beginning of a war — it is a declaration of vengeance. Today, we hunted and we killed our enemies. Lots of them. And we will continue.”
President Trump said on social media that the Syrian government fully supported the strikes.
