Reality checks from Alert Tweeters:
- Whoever was president in 2016 sure blew it.
- You served as AG from 2009-2015. What actions did you take to prevent Russian meddling and hacking?
- “The 1980s called and they asked for their foreign policy back.” – Barack Obama to Mitt Romney, 2012
- “Tell Vladimir that after my re-election, I’ll have more flexibility.” – Barack Obama to Russian President Dmitri Medvedev, 2012

A couple of days ago, there was a brouhaha about “gender pay inequality” in Hollywood.
It seems that Ridley Scott’s, All the Money in the World, had to be hastily reshot after disgraced Kevin Spacey was replaced in the role of billionaire J. Paul Getty.
Mark Wahlberg was paid $1.5 million for reshooting his scenes, while Michelle Williams was paid less than $1,000 for reshooting her scenes. Oh noes!
Except, whoops. It turns out the “gender” pay gap was actually a “better contract for a bigger star” pay gap. Wahl’s contract got him big bucks for reshoots. William’s contract only got her the standard $80 per diem.

ECONOMY: The Bureau of Labor Statistics released its newest jobs report on Friday, and the data clearly show, under the pro-business policies implemented by the Trump administration, low-income and working-class families are enjoying significant economic gains not experienced in nearly 20 years.
TAX OVERHAUL: Wal-Mart, the nation’s largest private employer, announced today that it will raise its starting hourly wage, give bonuses to all eligible full and part-time associates, and expand its parental leave policy—all in response to last month’s tax overhaul.
2020 ELECTIONS: The Senate map is really tough for Democrats, with 26 Democratic seats in play next year (including a newly opened seat in Minnesota after Al Franken announced his intention to retire) as compared to just eight Republican ones. Moreover, five of the Democratic-held seats — the ones in West Virginia, North Dakota, Montana, Missouri and Indiana — are in states that President Trump won by 18 percentage points or more.
PRO-LIFE: Speaker Paul Ryan will headline the 45th March for Life, which is taking place on January 19th. Paul Ryan has spoken at the annual event before, but this will be his first time coming as Speaker of the House.
RUSSIARUSSIARUSSIA: The salacious and FAKE anti-Trump dossier that Hillary paid for was used to gain approval from a secret court to monitor members of Trump’s team. There will be more information in the coming week.
RAAACISM: Clarence Thomas talks about being a black conservative in modern society. He says faith gives him “the strength to do what I have to do every day, to assert the independence, to be willing to take the beatings, the criticism, the unfairness.” When he attends daily mass, he says, it helps him do his “job, a secular job, in the right way and for the right reasons.” It reminds him that his work has nothing to do with what is said about him, but is rather about doing what he took an oath to do.

Jim Acosta: There’s folks out there who’ve said there’s a cause and effect out there. He watches something on FOX and Friends and then he tweets about it. Is that what happened this morning and does that go on?
Sarah Huckabee Sanders: I’m sure you’re disappointed that he’s not watching CNN.
Jim Acosta: I think he’s watching a lot of CNN if you don’t mind me saying.
Sarah Huckabee Sanders: I don’t think that’s true. I think your numbers would be higher.

A federal judge dismissed all charges against Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy, his two sons and another man on Monday after accusing prosecutors of willfully withholding evidence from Bundy’s lawyers.
U.S. District Judge Gloria Navarro cited “flagrant prosecutorial misconduct” in her decision to dismiss all charges against the Nevada rancher and three others.
Bundy’s supporters cheered as he walked out of court a free man, hugging his wife. He said he’d been jailed for 700 days as a “political prisoner” for refusing to acknowledge federal authority over the land around his cattle ranch.
Navarro said Monday it was clear the FBI was involved in the prosecution and it was not a coincidence that most of the evidence that was held back – which would have worked in Bundy’s favor – came from the FBI.
