If they pretend they haven’t heard about the story of the day, end the interview right there.

“I’m sorry, Senator, we wanted to get your perspective on this story, but it seems you’re not fully aware of what’s going on.”

Spot on, Mr. Rather. 🎯 💯

Did you ask him if his job was under threat if he failed to follow an illegal order? Did you ask him if he knows killing the shipwrecked is an illegal order? Did you ask him if he was promised clemency if he took the fall? What did he say? TELL US. Stop dancing around these questions.

Imagine you had millions of people in your life who ignored everything you ever said but would show up once a year and make a huge deal about your birthday, claiming they were your biggest fans.

Crazy, right?

Anyway…Merry Christmas.

Louvre says hundreds of works damaged by water leak A water leak in late November damaged several hundred works in the Louvre’s Egyptian department, the Paris museum told AFP on Sunday, weeks after a brazen jewel theft raised concerns over its infrastructure.

What did you think they were able to do at that point? Launch their Iron Man gear?

I can’t wait to employ these legal theories in ways that Cotton won’t like.

Hepatitis B vaccine insurance coverage won’t change: officials Parents will still be able to get the hepatitis B vaccine for their children at no cost even though the U.S. Centers for Disease and Control Prevention’s vaccine advisers recommended a major change to the immunization practice.

Insurance coverage of hepatitis B vaccine won’t change, industry and officials say

Later in the clip Bessent says he just divested from his soybean farm “this week.” I would love to know what that actually means when he opens by saying he still runs it and he has family working on it.

At some point someone just needs to say “you are an indecent person, you are lying to cover the slaughter of defenseless men, you know you are lying, and even under the tenets of your own professed faith you will certainly burn in hell if you continue down this path”

Good morning sports fans.

Here’s a look at the updated standings for the Olympic curling qualifiers in Kelowna. Again, two spots remaining to get into 2026 Games.

Japan and Turkey lead the way on the women’s side. China and Philippines undefeated on the men’s side.

A**h*le!

All the other dory sailing smugglers who have aerial surveillance planes…

Schiff: "I think that all of these strikes are unlawful. They are a form of extrajudicial killing. These boats are not invading the US in an armed assault ... the fact the administration may put a group of organizations on a list doesn't confer on a president the ability to kill them at sea."

“We knew very well what we were electing” isn’t a defense of Trump’s actions. It’s an admission of your complicity.

STEPHANOPOULOS: Do you support the pardon of the former Honduran president?

SCHMITT: I'm not familiar w/ the facts or circumstances

S: What do you mean you're not familiar? It's been front page news

SCHMITT: You spew Democrat talking points every single week, which is why your ratings are so bad

I think the *speed* at which RFK Jr and his Great Barrington Declaration/anti-vaxx/Brownstone wrecking crew have been dismantling the US public health system has been really astonishing

From the @wsj.com chief foreign correspondent

Great season.
Brought the championship battle down to the last half of the final race.
Fantastic.
Congrats to Lando!
Congrats to Max for doing everything in his control.
On to 2026. New season. New rules. New game.

Max Verstappen takes his EIGHTH win of 2025!

It's not enough to secure him the title, but he ends the year with more wins than anyone else, and just TWO points shy of a fifth straight title 👏

#F1 #AbuDhabiGP

If Lando loses it on a technicality, that totally ruins the race. And the win.
Fair and square, boys.

Losing cable on the final race of the year truly sucks! 😭😭

4. BREAKING

In a new video statement, the Interior Minister of Benin says that the coup has been thwarted and that the people of Benin are urged to resume their normal activities.

A television screenshot shows a group of Beninese soldiers standing behind a news desk, wearing military uniforms, tactical vests, helmets, and face coverings. One soldier at the center appears to be reading from a statement, while others stand at attention on either side. This scene reflects the ongoing instability in Benin following reports of a military-led announcement. Below the screenshot is a political map of West Africa highlighting Benin in beige. Surrounding countries—Burkina Faso, Niger, and Nigeria—form Benin’s borders to the north and east; all three currently face significant jihadist insurgencies, underscoring the regional security risks linked to Benin’s unfolding crisis.

1. BREAKING

A coup is underway in the West African nation of Benin.

A group of soldiers appeared on state television and declared the dissolution of the government, the removal of President Patrice Talon (an ally of the United States), and the dismantling of state institutions.

At a joint press conference with Prime Minister Netanyahu in Israel, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz acknowledges that the reason he is in Israel instead of Netanyahu being in Germany is the ICC arrest warrant against Netanyahu.

This pathetic creature is consumed by hate because the world sees him for what he is.

A wretched loser who could never measure up to the accomplishments and legacies of the people he is obsessed with destroying.

Republicans are beyond spineless for their allegiance to this toxic trash heap.

Donald Trump just removed Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth from the list of free entry days at national parks.

They are being replaced with Trump’s birthday.
