SCOTUS ruled to allow the Trump administration to fully enforce its travel banon residents from six radical regimes and failed states, including Chad, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria and Yemen, and on officials from North Korea and Venezuela.
The Buzzers went to a wonderful, community-wide display of nativity sets. There were so many, they were able to divide them up by themes.Here’s just a taste of all that they saw.
I think my favorite was theall white room, with birch logs used for display. Beautiful!

Hallelujah! Trump Will Recognize Jerusalem as Capital of Israel Wednesday, Begin Moving Embassy
President Donald Trump will announce Wednesday that the United States recognizes Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, and that the State Department will begin a process to move the U.S. embassy in Israel to Jerusalem.
The officials conveyed that the change is a recognition of “reality” — both the historic reality that Jerusalem has been the capital of the Jewish people and the Jewish faith since ancient times; and the modern reality that the city is the seat of government for Israel, housing its legislature, supreme court, prime minister, and executive agencies.
Presidents have long hesitated to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel because,they claimed,it would impede a “two state solution.” The reality is, there are NOT TWO STATES! There is the state of Israel and a bunch of displaced sand lizards that Jordan didn’t want to feed, so they told them “Go squat on the West Bank — the Jews will take care of you while you hide behind schools and hospitals and fire hundreds of rockets at them and bomb school buses and restaurants.”
The lead singer of the Muslim rock band known as “The Hamas Terrorists,” a dude named Meathead Grabass or something like that, took time from his quest for true love in a barnyard to whine that this will inhibit the “peace process.” Their idea of a peace process is the extermination of the Jewish state. Then they will be at peace… until they find somebody else to kill.
Feinstein Urges Trump Not to Move U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem, Despite Voting to Move Embassy to Jerusalem
Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein (Calif.) on Tuesday castigated the idea of moving the U.S. embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, saying it would be a “terrible decision” despite previously voting for the embassy move to take place.
Hamas plans ‘day of rage’ in response to Trump’s Jerusalem decision
Terror group Hamas is calling for a “day of rage” Friday, urging Palestinians to protest President Donald Trump’s plan to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and move the U.S. Embassy there from Tel Aviv.
The group, designated a terrorist organization by the U.S., encouraged Palestinians in an official Arabic statement to send a message “with all available means” to Israel after the upcoming Friday prayers.
It added that making Jerusalem the Israeli capital was crossing a “red line.”
[CtH: Yeah, let’s not cross any “red lines” … the way Obama did over and over and over.]
There’s so much happening at such speed that I could have listed a lot more different items here. I’ll put them on another post to try to maintain some semblance of order.

My beloved child bride was tending Miss Olivia, who wasn’t feeling well, so I turned in about 8:00PM. Someone locked the bottom door of our apartment building, which is broken and there is no key for, just the deadbolt that all tenants can open. She had to ring the buzzer shortly after 9 and I’ve been up since.
I leave for work in an hour and a half so I thought I’d take a minute to post some things I didn’t get around to yesterday.
One week from today is the showdown in Alabama. Trump has finally given his full support to Judge Moore and the RNC is funding his campaign again. This seems to be a sign they know he’s going to win despite their best efforts to screw him over. The left, though, never gives up. They sense that Roy Moore is heading toward victory.
Alabama voters doubt accusations enough that they may feel comfortable sending a message of contempt for Washington, both D.C. and Post
If there was a turning point in Roy Moore’s political fortunes, it was the press conference Gloria Allred held with accuser Beverly Nelson, who emotionally described what she said was a sexual assault behind a diner at which she worked. That press conference gave Moore two things he needed politically: a chance to make Allred an issue in the campaign, and a piece of physical evidence to attack, the handwriting in the yearbook.
Mitch McConnell Folds on Opposition to Roy Moore: ‘We’re Going to Let the People of Alabama Decide’
“Well, I think — we’re going to let the people of Alabama decide a week from Tuesday who they want to send to the Senate. And then we’ll address the matter appropriately,” McConnell said, insinuating that he would back a Senate Ethics Committee investigation of the allegations against Moore when Moore wins on Dec. 12.
[CtH: Meanwhile, they’re letting Democrats decide IF they want to resign?]
I PREDICT IF MOORE WINS AND McCONNELL REFUSES TO SEAT HIM, THERE WILL BE A CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS.
Soros Army in Alabama to Register Convicted Felons to Vote Against Roy Moore
HEY, IT HELPED THE DEMOCRATS WIN IN VIRGINIA.
The aim of the effort has been to get as many felons as possible on the roster before last Monday, the deadline to register in order to vote in Alabama’s Dec. 12 senate special election that pits Republican Roy Moore against Democratic challenger Doug Jones. The man spearheading the campaign has stated outright that his effort is meant to ensure a Democratic victory in Alabama.
The thousands of felons reportedly newly registered over the past few weeks were most likely not included in any recent polling on the Alabama senate race put out by major firms.
[CtH: What does it say about the Democratic Party that they feel confident that FELONS will vote for THEIR candidates?]
Supreme Court Allows Trump’s Full Travel Ban In 7-2 Decision
The Supreme Court on Monday allowed the Trump administration to fully enforce the travel ban by residents from six radical regimes and failed states. The travel ban applies to travelers from Chad, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria and Yemen. And officials from North Korea and Venezuela. Far left Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sonia Sotomayor dissented.
YOU LIKELY KNEW WHO THE DISSENTERS WERE. TRUMP SHOULD SEND AUTOGRAPHED COPIES TO THE NINTH CIRCUS AND THAT PUNK BUDDY OF OBAMA’S IN HAWAII.
Trump’s Plan To Overhaul National Monuments Law Is All About ‘Righting Past Overreach’
TRUMP SPOKE IN UTAH TODAY AND RETURNED 2 MILLION ACRES THAT OBAMA ILLEGALLY CONFISCATED TO STOP ENERGY EXPLORATION.
Trump will sign orders to shrink the Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante national monuments as recommended by Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke. However, that’s only the first step in the administration’s plan for the Antiquities Act.
“Public lands should be for the enjoyment of everyone, not just special interests,” will be the Trump administration’s message in this effort
Utah state leaders Greg Hughes and Wayne Niederhauser thanked President Trump for following through on a promise to voters.
“This is great news for the residents of southern Utah who depend on the use of public lands for their livelihoods and the Native Americans who depend on access to Bears Ears lands for their material and spiritual needs.”
NOT EVERYONE WAS HAPPY TO SEE THE PRESIDENT TODAY.
Protesters chanting ‘F—k you, Trump’ greet president at Utah State Capitol
President Trump was greeted by protesters at the Utah State Capitol on Monday shouting “F**k you, Trump” as the motorcade passed by.
The president traveled to Utah on Monday to announce his decision to scale back the state’s Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monuments.
Obama Can’t Resist Urge to Bash Trump Overseas IT’S JUST KILLING HIM TO SEE ALL HIS DEVIL’S WORK BEING UNDONE.
This weekend, Obama proved once again that he is incapable of affording his successor the same courtesy shown by his predecessor. While speaking in Paris, Obama cited a lack of American leadership on climate change.
Feinstein: Case ‘Being Put Together’ Against Trump For Obstruction of Justice
Democrat Dianne Feinstein, ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, which is investigating Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, said on Meet the Press that it is becoming clear that President Trump’s firing of FBI Director James Comey represents an obstruction of justice — a case she believes special counsel Robert Mueller is now focused on.
Dershowitz Slams Feinstein Over Obstruction Argument: ‘Doesn’t Know What She’s Talking About’
“You cannot charge a president with obstruction of justice for exercising his constitutional power to fire Comey and his constitutional authority to tell the Justice Department who to investigate, who not to investigate,” Dershowitz said during an interview with Fox News. “We have precedents that clearly establish that.”
Puerto Rican Refugees Could Flip Florida, Put Impeachment in Play
I HEARD THIS ON RUSH TODAY… THIS IS FRIGHTENING Remember the big hurricane that wiped out Puerto Rico? The publisher of a newspaper in Puerto Rico is reporting that, by their count, 320,000 Puerto Ricans have immigrated to the United States. Seventy percent of them to Florida. Now, the publisher of the Puerto Rican newspaper says that all of these people are very disappointed in the response of the Trump administration to help Puerto Rico recover. She believes by the end of 2018 there will be nearly 400,000 to 500,000 immigrants — think illegal immigrants — in Florida, and, if 60% of them register Democrat, then Florida ever voting for a Republican presidential candidate may be lost for as long as we can see.
REPORT: Trump to Pull U.S. From U.N. Migration Compact Officials stated that the New York Declaration, a non-binding political declaration unanimously approved in a non-binding resolution in September 2016, “contains numerous provisions that are inconsistent with U.S. immigration and refugee policies and the Trump Administration’s immigration principles.”
Trump Dumps Michelle Obama School Lunch Fiasco – Chocolate Milk Is Back!
I LOVED CHOCOLATE MILK IN SCHOOL Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue has been dismissing Michelle Obama’s signature school lunch rules all year.
“This is not reducing the nutritional standards whatsoever,” Perdue said in May when announcing the Agriculture Department’s intention to bring chocolate milk back to schools. “I wouldn’t be as big as I am today without flavored milk.”
Democratic House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi claimed Monday the Republican tax bill is the end of the world. Calling the bill “armageddon,” Pelosi said, “There’s really a very hard way to come back from this.”
[CtH: Seriously? Has anyone checked if Nancy is taking her meds?]
MSNBC Guest Says Republican Tax Bill Is ‘Akin to Rape’
PROJECT WE MUCH.
[CtH: Those of us who are survivors of ACTUAL RAPE RAPE are offended by all the Democrat hyperbole on the subject. I DEMAND A SAFE SPACE!]
House Republicans Already Shooting Down Tax Bill’s Promises
FLAKE ISN’T RUNNING AGAIN BECAUSE HE’D GET HIS ASS WHIPPED. WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT FROM THE MAINE PAIN?
Collins said she received a promise that the Senate would consider two bipartisan pieces of legislation that would ostensibly mitigate the negative effects that could come from the tax bill’s repeal of Obamacare’s individual mandate. Flake said he received a “firm commitment from Senate Leadership and the administration” to work on a permanent protections for the soon-to-be-ended Obama-era program that shields children of undocumented immigrants.
Report: FBI Agent Dismissed From Mueller’s Russia Probe Changed Comey’s Language on Clinton to ‘Extremely Careless’ THERE WAS A REASON FOR CHANGING THE WORDING.
The shift from “grossly negligent” to “extremely careless,” which may appear pedestrian at first glance, reflected a decision by the FBI that could have had potentially significant legal implications, as the federal law governing the mishandling of classified material establishes criminal penalties for “gross negligence.”
Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, raised questions over why the change was made after receiving documents from the FBI last month, but the identity of who was behind the edit has not been reported until now.
Byron York: In Trump-Russia probe, was it all about the Logan Act?
In short, there’s no doubt the Logan Act, a law dismissed as a joke or an archaic irrelevancy or simply unconstitutional by many legal experts, played a central role in the Obama administration’s aggressive and enormously consequential investigation of its successor.
Democrats began accusing Trump of Logan Act violations in the summer of 2016, immediately after the Republican convention, when Trump sarcastically invited Russia to produce the 30,000-plus emails that Hillary Clinton deleted rather than turn over to investigators. “Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing,” Trump said during a July 27 news conference. “I think that you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press — let’s see if that happens, that’ll be nice.”
[CtH: This should read, “It is vital we do something to rebuild the trust we threw away in our non-stop efforts to promote Democrat politicians and policies.”]
MORE Democrats are going to prison!Sentences have been handed out to ex-U.S. Rep. Corrine Brown and her co-conspirators in mail, wire and tax fraud: Brown – 5 years; Ronnie Simmons – 4 years; Carla Wiley – 1 year, 9 months. Brown has been ordered to repay the nearly half a million dollars she stole via a fake charity.
Before all y’all get your panties in a bunch about Trump and Russia, let’s just cast our minds back to 2008 when NOBODY ON THE LEFT had any problem at all with the FACT that CANDIDATE OBAMA’s CAMPAIGN TEAM did not merely seek to contact, but actually met with Iranian leaders multiple times.
Even before the Administration’s anti-regulation push comes into full force next year, thePresident has saved taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollarsfrom streamlining and other reforms thus far. “Simply cutting red tape and putting Obama-era regulations on hold have already saved $378 million since President Trump took office,” reports Paul Bedard, citing an American Action Forum report. “That savings is expected to jump into the billions next year when the administration’s anti-regulation campaign hits full stride.”
The abortion rate in America has fallen 22 percent since 2005, reaching a new historic low, according to data released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention last week.
Diante Johnson, president of the Black Conservative Foundation, writes thathistoric tax cuts are especially welcome news for the African-American entrepreneurial community.“African-Americans were better off in 2000 than they were just last year, according to the latest Census data,” Johnson writes, citing dropping median incomes, stagnant wages, and “alarmingly high” unemployment. Minority entrepreneurs own 29 percent of U.S. businesses, and lower taxes will allow them to expand opportunity in their communities significantly.
During a speech last week, Vice President Mike Pence made an innocuous comment that was obviously true. The Washington Post’s fact-checking team agreed it was true. But that didn’t stop them from awarding his claim a “three Pinnochios” condemnation.
Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue said,“It doesn’t do any good to serve nutritious meals if they wind up in the trash can.”Some of Michelle Obama’s overly strict lunch requirements will thankfully disappear as of July 1. The new regs will relax sodium limits, whole-grain requirements, and allow flavored milk with 1 percent back into school cafeterias nationwide.
The latest absurditycomes from Larry Summers, the former director of Obama’s National Economic Council. According to his EXPERT ECONOMIC OPINION,the GOP’s plan to cancel the Obamacare mandate will KILL TEN THOUSAND PEOPLE A YEAR!
Tweeters had fun:
Forcing people to buy something they don’t want or pay a penalty if they don’t does not lead to death.
Ten thousand? That’s insane. At least 10 million. Maybe 100 million. AT LEAST. IT’S SCIENCE PEOPLE…SCIENCE! (This one was tweeted by an M.D. BWAHAHA!)
Well, at least climate change is a redundant concern now.
Approximately 20,000 people die every year from hot takes.
2.6 million people die in the U.S. every year. 10,000 is a rounding error.
It doesn’t count because he didn’t say that people will LITERALLY die.
Wait. Maybe we’re reading this wrong and Summers is actually threatening to kill 10,000 people a year himself if tax reform passes.
(Insert large number) people will die because of (insert Republican policy). Rinse, repeat.
No wonder the Dems are having trouble getting people to pay attention.
ABC News has suspended their reporter Brian Ross without pay for 4 weeks and has issued a retraction of his FAKE NEWS story.
Ross false reported that former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn was prepared to testify that CANDIDATE Donald Trump had told him to make contact with the Russians during the election.
Actually, Flynn was prepared to testify that PRESIDENT-ELECT Trump (after the election) predictably and appropriately asked him to make contact with Russia as any transition team would do – in this case to discuss the possibility of joint US/Russian military options to fight ISIS.
Los Feliz Daycare(motto: “We do not accept immunized children”) is an ultra-progressive child care center in an unspecified affluent neighborhood on the left coast. Some recent tweets:

Look up on Sunday! A ‘full cold supermoon’ is set to grace the skies this weekend: Here’s how to see it
A supermoon appears when the moon and Earth are at their closest point
The moon appears to be 14 per cent larger and 30 per cent brighter in the sky
The best time to see will be at 08:45 GMT (03:45 EST) on December 4
At this point the moon will be 222,135 miles (357,492 kilometres) from Earth
Skygazers are set to be treated to a ‘full cold supermoon’ this weekend.
As the moon orbits the Earth every month, there is a point in every cycle where the moon is closest (perigee) and a point where it’s farthest away (apogee).
There is also a monthly lunar cycle where you can see varying amounts of the moon depending on it’s position relative to Earth and the sun.
For a supermoon to happen, these need to line up – something that will occur this Sunday.
If the skies are clear then there should be no difficulty spotting the supermoon
I thought you might enjoy this: Woman Driving By Notices McDonald’s Strange Nativity Scene, Posts Pic That Goes Viral
With Christmas just around the corner, it’s easy to get wrapped up in the trees, twinkling lights and presents. So when one woman drove by a McDonald’s restaurant in Spring Hill, Tennessee, and saw something shocking in the window, she immediately snapped a picture.
The employees at this McDonald’s made a huge statement with their unique and very powerful window display.
These days, it’s common for people, especially young children, to not understand or acknowledge the true meaning of Christmas. With all the hoopla surrounding Santa, his eight reindeer and bag of toys, people forget about the birth of Jesus on a cold winter night.
Fortunately, Amy Basel recently visited a McDonald’s that not only recognized the meaning behind the joyous holiday, but is displaying it proudly for everyone in the city to see.
In a day and age where Santa is more popular than Jesus, it was refreshing to see some people still understood the true importance of the holiday.
Far left Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sonia Sotomayor dissented.
