FILM HISTORY: [24:18] – Philip Van Doren Stern said he got the idea for the story in a dream. I can’t help thinking it was God’s gift to future America, because hardly anybody in the 1940s wanted it.
HOLIDAY SHOPPING: Also, pill organizers and adult coloring books.
HYPOCRISY: For the record, I am not posting this to excuse Trump’s bad attitude. I think we should be better than this! CLICK https://x.com/mazemoore/status/2001094249702367258 [2:40] if you can stand to listen to an overpaid bigot dump on a dead man for having a message that appealed to [dripping with disdain] “people sitting in their TRUCKS.” I stopped listening at that point.
MAR-A-LAGO RAID: Newly declassified emails may give Trump grounds to sue for civil liberty violations or prompt prosecutors to pursue a criminal investigation. They show that, before the 2022 raid on Trump’s home in Florida, the FBI expressed doubt that Trump had done anything wrong. FBI agents repeatedly recommended talking to Trump’s lawyers rather than raiding or, failing that, limiting the warrant to avoid private areas of the estate.
The Biden DOJ blew them off. On June 1, 2022, the Assistant Special Agent in Charge wrote, “DOJ has been adamant that no accommodation would be given and that they would not reach out to the attorney.” Nevertheless, the FBI continued to push for “a reasonable conversation with the former president’s attorney.”
When it became obvious the raid would happen regardless, the FBI advocated for a “professional, low key” search that respected “the optics.” As we all know, the August 8, 2022 raid, which was authorized by then-Attorney General Merrick Garland, was anything but.
MINNESOTA: I hope you’ll find time to read “What Somalis Have Done for Minnesota” by Daniel Greenfield @ https://www.danielgreenfield.org/2025/12/what-somalis-have-done-for-minnesota.html.
PRAYER for OUR NATION: Dear Lord, Turn our hearts and minds to the reason for the season. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.
VOTER FRAUD: The DOJ’s Civil Rights Division is suing 18 states for refusing to provide complete state voting registration lists. The Trump administration says it wants the information to verify the states are following federal election law in an effort to strengthen voting security. The 18 states, all of which Trump lost in 2020, call it intimidation in an effort to influence elections.
