American Stories.  (A series)

The White House Salute to America 250 Task Force has partnered with Hillsdale College to provide a history series that tells the remarkable story of American Independence.

It will highlight the stories of the crucial characters and events that resulted in a small rag-tag army defeating the mightiest empire in the world and establishing the greatest republic ever to exist.

This is the story of America. This is our shared heritage and our proud destiny that will continue to lead us to unimaginable achievements in the centuries to come.

Fed Up with Islam, James Woods Issues Savage Statement That Will Offend Every Muslim on Earth, But Could Give Hope to Everyone Else

Western Civilization needs to have an honest conversation about Islam after Sunday’s deadly shooting at Australia’s Bondi Beach, as it is by no means a stand-alone affair.

Actor James Woods is someone who realizes this, as his Wednesday post on social media platform X showed. Woods noted that the shooters that day in Sydney, Australia, targeted Jews celebrating Hanukkah.

He also pointed to the genocide of Christians taking place in Nigeria.

The common thread, he pointed out, is Islamic terrorists.

“It isn’t just about who is being killed,” Woods wrote. “It’s more about who’s doing the killing. It is, of course, Islamic terrorism. The jihad to eradicate ‘infidels’ and occupy their nations is in full swing.

“The only way to stop it is to state the facts out loud. And the facts are that Islam is a plague intent on ending any semblance of civilization as the enlightened world now knows it.”

Woods is absolutely correct: These terrorists are not fringe actors or radicals; these are people following the dogma found in the Quran, which is clear in its call for Muslims to use violence in furtherance of their cause.

We do not have to live like this.

We do not have to keep importing and tolerating a flood of violent barbarians who have no interest in Western notions of tolerance.

Our systems and our outlook stand only as a means to power for the Muslim world.

The great Russian dissident Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn spent eight years in the Gulag prison system for daring to speak out against Joseph Stalin. He once prophetically said, “One man who stopped lying could bring down a tyranny.”

Woods is one of those men.

The Religion of Peace counts almost 2,000 attacks by Muslims across nearly 50 countries, with over 13,000 dead and over 6,000 injured in 2025 alone.

It is time to stop this.

Millions are waking up. The Western world cannot tolerate these people any longer. We cannot afford to import people whose toxic politics masquerade as a faith.

That’ll offend every Muslim there, but it will also be a relief and give hope to many non-Muslims.

This article appeared originally on The Western Journal.

Antisemitism is quite possibly the most volatile issue in the world today. Hand in hand Christianity is more silently a target as well. Nigerian slaughter, for example, has reached genocide levels. The world is reading the facts backwards in a sense, however. It isn’t just about who is being killed. It’s more about who’s doing the killing. It is, of course, Islamic terrorism. The jihad to eradicate “infidels” and occupy their nations is in full swing. The only way to stop it is to state the facts out loud. And the facts are that Islam is a plague intent on ending any semblance of civilization as the enlightened world now knows it.


Caving (surrendering) to mooSlimes is 100% wrong thing to do.

France, Australia, and Germany Have all Canceled New Years Celebrations – We All Know Why, But They’re Not Brave Enough to Tell Us

Newsmax’s Rob Schmitt:

A beautiful and spectacular event, and it has all been canceled because the French government can no longer keep its own people safe from potential radical Islamic terrorists that they have welcomed into their country. Think about that. France has led in so many Middle East and North African migrants that they can no longer assemble in crowds.

We’re watching one of the most beautiful countries and cultures in the world commit suicide, and this threat has now spread all over the West. This is not singular to Australia or France. It is everywhere now, including in Germany, where many are too scared to go to the country’s many famous Christmas markets because they are now so dangerous. They’re such a target for radical Islamists. Take a listen to the details from this report:

“Terrorists have struck seven European Christmas markets since 2014, three in France and four in Germany, all carried out by men of Muslim or Middle Eastern backgrounds. Authorities arrested five men suspected of planning attack number 8 in Germany last week. One of them, a Muslim cleric from a German mosque who urge his followers to kill as many people as possible.”

Yeah, attack number 8 foiled. There was another attack in Poland on a Christmas market foiled as well. The one in Germany, a Muslim cleric that left Egypt to move to Germany, moving to a country which tolerantly allows him to work at a mosque, to have a mosque. What does he do when he gets to Germany and he’s saved by the West? He begins indoctrinating other Muslims to murder as many Christians as they possibly can. Going to a German Christmas market at this point is a bit like playing Russian roulette.

Is today Can you say the day that one of our asylum seekers, living off our tax dollars, is going to plow his car through this market and kill 20 of us? We don’t know. In Australia, where 16 were murdered on a beach this past Sunday, many say that they have felt the threat skyrocket as their own government imported tens of thousands of migrants from Muslim countries.

The Muslim population doubling in a decade in Australia. The left wing Prime Minister of Australia, the Labor Party, a country that has the strictest gun laws in the world already, just wants to add more gun laws, light a candle and move on.



Governments, including USG, need to be open and honest about the Islamic Threat To Freedom.

Tis the Season for Jihadist Christmas Attacks

Every year leading up to Christmas, news reports document Islamic terrorist attacks on Christmas markets and churches in Europe, Australia, and the United States, along with plots disrupted by police.

Liberals refuse to acknowledge the pattern or accept that allowing people into a country who hate its culture, hate Christianity, and want to kill its citizens carries obvious risks. Year after year, evidence shows that unvetted immigration and asylum policies are dangerous, particularly when military-age males from war-torn and failed Muslim countries are allowed to establish residency. Yet anyone who points this out is called a Nazi, a fascist, or a “Trumptard.”

In the United States, the FBI said it disrupted an alleged New Year’s Eve bombing plot in Southern California and arrested four people in Los Angeles. Tina Lai, Zachary Aaron Page, Audrey Carroll, and Dante Gaffield were charged with conspiracy and possession of an unregistered destructive device.

Investigators said the suspects self-identified as members of the Turtle Island Liberation Front, described as pro-Palestinian, anti-law-enforcement, and anti-government. Prosecutors allege the group planned coordinated improvised explosive device attacks at five locations around Los Angeles at midnight on New Year’s Eve, including two U.S. companies.

Authorities said Carroll authored an “Operation Midnight Sun” document detailing the plot, bomb-making instructions, and methods to avoid detection. Investigators also allege the group recruited others, gathered materials, and conducted a test in the Mojave Desert on December 12 before being arrested. If convicted, the defendants face up to 15 years in federal prison.

“To My Haters… F You!” – Outgoing DC Police Chief Goes on UNHINGED Screaming Meltdown During Walkout Ceremony (VIDEO)

Outgoing Washington DC Police Chief Pamela Smith went on a screeching rampage during her walkout ceremony on Friday.

Pamela Smith resigned earlier this month following accusations of rigging crime data.

The House Oversight Committee released a report on Sunday, detailing the committee’s investigation into DC Police Chief Pamela Smith’s manipulation of crime data.

The report, titled “Leadership Breakdown: How D.C.’s Police Chief Undermined Crime Data Accuracy,” follows a months-long investigation into whistleblower allegations that DC Police Chief Pamela Smith was intentionally fudging the crime statistics to make DC appear to have lowered homicide, burglary, carjacking, and other crime rates.

The report “reveals that Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) Chief Pamela A. Smith pressured and at times directed commanders to manipulate crime data in order to maintain the appearance of low crime in the nation’s capital,” according to a House Oversight Committee Press Release.

JUST IN: “YOU WILL BE HIT HARDER THAN YOU HAVE EVER BEEN HIT BEFORE IF YOU, IN ANY WAY, ATTACK OR THREATEN THE U.S.A.” – Trump and Hegseth Announce “Lots of” Enemies Killed in Operation Hawkeye Strike, a “Declaration of Vengeance” in Response to ISIS Killing US Troops Syria (VIDEO)

Full statement below:

Today, we hunted and we killed our enemies. Lots of them. And we will continue.—

Earlier today, U.S. forces commenced OPERATION HAWKEYE STRIKE in Syria to eliminate ISIS fighters, infrastructure, and weapons sites in direct response to the attack on U.S. forces that occurred on December 13th in Palmyra, Syria.

This is not the beginning of a war — it is a declaration of vengeance. The United States of America, under President Trump’s leadership, will never hesitate and never relent to defend our people.

As we said directly following the savage attack, if you target Americans — anywhere in the world — you will spend the rest of your brief, anxious life knowing the United States will hunt you, find you, and ruthlessly kill you.

Here’s hoping for great times for Kalbo, his DW, and all the sisters and cousins and aunts in the Philippines!

LOL!!!

The video doesn’t have any video, it’s just a song.

It’s from Gilbert & Sullivan’s comic light operettta “HMS Pinafore”, and the lyrics go:

[JOSEPH]
I am the monarch of the sea,
The ruler of the Queen’s Navee,
Whose praise Great Britain loudly chants.

[HEBE (interjecting)]
And we are his sisters, and his cousins, and his aunts!

[RELATIVES/SAILORS (loudly)]
And we/they are his sisters, and his cousins, and his aunts!

[ALL (loudly)]
His sisters and his cousins and his aunts!

[JOSEPH]
When at anchor here I ride,
My bosom swells with pride,
And I snap *snaps fingers* my fingers at a foeman’s taunts;

[HEBE]
And so *snaps fingers* do his sisters, and his cousins, and his aunts!

[ALL (loudly)]
And so do his sisters, and his cousins, and his aunts!
His sisters and his cousins and his aunts!

[JOSEPH]
But when the breezes blow,
I generally go below,
And seek the seclusion that a cabin grants!

[HEBE]
And so do his sisters, and his cousins, and his aunts!

[ALL]
And so do his sisters, and his cousins, and his aunts!
His sisters and his cousins,
Whom he reckons up by dozens,
And his aunts!

Stupid click bait.

TheseTruths

If Donald Trump were exchanged for Bill Clinton in those photos, it would signal the end of the world as we know it, so I think there is significant information there. If any politician was shown in photos like those with girls who obviously were not his wife, it would, or should, be career-ending.

pgroup2

Maybe if it happened before we knew who Monica was.

Aubergine

Dude, Monica was of age. Clinton’s affair with her was immoral, not illegal.

The women whose faces are blacked out in those photos are underage, which means Clinton was doing something illegal.

Wolf Moon

The young ladies are not called “jailbait” for nothing!

The thing is, standards have fallen so badly, that I’m not sure anybody but teachers are prosecuted these days.

“15 will get you 20”, though in BeezleBubba’s case we’re still waiting… though his sexploits have now hit the YSM/MCM (Der Spiegel) over here! When it hits that far-left purveyor of palaver, it’s pretty much over… no defending it from the media…

Aubergine

I know, and it’s sickening.

Times have changed, I know. Young women used to be fair game. My own grandmother was not quite fourteen when she married my 20 year old grandfather (at least, they said they were married; I can’t locate a marriage license or certificate).

But young girls are not up for grabs by older guys anymore. So what it comes down to is self-control from men who should be expected to know better.

Valerie Curren

14 w/ a 20 year, old back in the day, can make sense, perhaps even like Mary & Joseph. 14 & a married 40 year old should be taboo Everywhere!

Gail Combs

Hubby is 7 years older than I.

Valerie Curren

But you weren’t 14 when you got together!

My hubby is almost 3 years younger than me. I like to joke that it took God that long to create the perfect guy for quirky “little” me 😉

Gail Combs

TRUE.

Wolf Moon

THIS.

We are now so “fatigued” on Beelzebubba’s sexploits, which IMO are far less blameworthy than his RAPES of women, that it is just a nothingburger to the left, and no longer activating to the right.

Trump was right to go after the Clinton rapes. And the left paid him back with false accusations thereof.

(I still think Reid Hoffman needs a life sentence for what he did to Trump, with Crazy E. Jean Carroll or whatever her name is.)

IMO, if such pictures had come out during Clinton’s first term, he would not have had a second term.

But YES – such activities are only for use in attacking the right, because such behavior only matters to the right.

The left only thinks a “tit cake” is bad if the media tells feminists to tell the public that it’s bad, and that there need to be #MeTwo and #MyTitsAreNotACake hashtags. Otherwise, it’s funny, as the public would be instructed by Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel.

The left is wildly conflicted about sex. In the 60s and 70s, it was all Epstein all the time. But when the Feminists became the new Prohibitionists – well, things changed.

I agree with TT.

Sub in prominent Republicans for Clinton and others, and this is earth-shattering.

I can tell you want to sweep all the Epstein stuff under the rug, but I can’t for the life of me understand why.

Wolf Moon

The pictures are enough to make it clear that Epstein was bringing powerful men into contact with underage girls in very incriminating circumstances.

I think Trump had the right idea – RUN away from the guy – and keep him off his property.

There are likely going to be a few dupes and dunces who fell for Epstein’s scam, saying “Hey, I’ll take that free trip to the Caribbean!” – and who either gave in to horny desires after a lap dance or two, or who otherwise spent a white-knuckle weekend, nervously avoiding the jail-bait while trying to have adult conversations. I am thinking that Dudley Dersh was as likely in the latter class as the former. Either way, just BEING THERE was trouble.

Epstein invited women down there, too. I’m thinking he had plots to get them hooked up with other men, and for couples, to facilitate triples, wife-swaps, etc.

Again, this goes straight to the Bible. BAD COMPANY leads to trouble.

Good morning, C&C, it’s Saturday! In the Weekend Edition: Trump blows afforability out of the water with another massive announcement on pharma prices; president teases insurance concessions coming soon, too; HHS cracks down on sponsors of legal immigrants who go on welfare; peak FAFO story turns out in Elon Musk’s favor, signaling great momentum; blast from Elon’s past highlights historic irony; Rogan platforms undeniable ivermectin story; Epstein disclosure day disappoints critics but puts a stake through Bubba’s vampiric heart; great inflation news as numbers moving faster than the most optimistic experts predicted; and the Times tries (and fails) to define ‘affordability.’

scott467

You see, they understand the difference between ‘demand’ and ‘request’.

They use ‘request’ ALL the time, when it’s for evidence from some corrupt government agency.

But when they’re dealing with citizens, they suddenly don’t even know the word ‘request’, they go straight to DEMAND, without passing ‘Go’.

Like they’re best friends with the word ‘demand’, and they were just faking like they didn’t know that word the whole time.

A teacher in replies at Xcancel said that girl was no older than 14–gross & evil!

Wolf Moon

Sophomore or junior! I’m calling 15 or 16.

Either way, she’s jailbait.

scott467

The amazing thing is that it’s all cultural.

I was reading here recently about the Founding Fathers, one of TradeBait’s recent daily opens, about one of the brothers (Francis Lee) who signed both the Declaration of Independence and the Articles of Confederation.

IIRC, he was 35 at the time, and married a girl named Rebecca Tayloe who was 16.

In Biblical times, 16 was probably getting up there in the years.

Valerie Curren

In days of yore once a female could bleed & bear children she was an “adult” & could marry. Teen years extended childhood seems more like a modern invention, when we expect sexually “mature” individuals to abstain & stay locked into education so they can allegedly land a decent (enough) paying job to some day get a house, car(s), & spouse & kids. Twisted!

Gail Combs

Worse the ‘teen years’ are when nature makes children rebell. Not just in humans but in other mammals too.

Valerie Curren

Yes & our culture promotes that rebellion now into hellish domains, like gay, trans, & furry crapola!

Gail Combs

Yup!

Wolf Moon

Sixteen was much more mature back then. People were entering colleges at 15 or even earlier.

I knew a 30-18 marriage when I was in college. It actually made sense, knowing the family dynamics.

This is helpful.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_consent_in_the_United_States#Ohio

The current laws seem to go back to older times, because 16 seems to be the general age of consent in most states, with 14 and 15 being different degrees of permissible for teens 18 and under. Basically, 4-year high school students are free to tango across classes. Above driving age, consent is generally allowed, but with some interesting state differences.

HOWEVER, note that the US Virgin Islands, the age of consent is 18. The exceptions won’t save adult politicians. IMO that’s a FEATURE, not a bug, for Epstein.

ALL THOSE GIRLS WERE JAILBAIT IN THE USVI.

Built for blackmail.

Valerie Curren

If you look at her face in the above xcancel tweet she doesn’t look as old as you think she might be. Where were her parents????

Wolf Moon

My wife says 15 or 16 – and I came up with that exact guess myself, before I asked her. A 14 year-old of that weight still has “kiddie fat” distribution – this gal has more of an upper high-school body morph, which typically starts at 15. Just look at yearbooks. Very doubtful about 12.

Aubergine

I could show you a photo of myself at 13-14, and you would see that girl. Some of us are skinny all our lives. I got boobs (huge on me at the time, but not really) when I was 11 or so. I never had any “kiddie fat.”

Gail Combs

Same.

At age 12 I was taken as being in college.

scott467

And many girls that age are trying to look like they’re older than they really are, by the way they do their make-up and hair and the way they dress.

Gail Combs

I was not even wearing make-up and I was getting ready to ride a horse.

scott467

Well, the horse probably didn’t notice whether you were wearing make-up or not.

Horses are notoriously terrible judges of human age.

Reminds me of the time when I took Josiah in for a PT eval. He was young enough to ride a trike but wasn’t really able to do so at home. He would look at his feet to try & pedal but then he would crash into things.

Part of the PT eval strapped him into a low riding pedal car. The “adaptive bike” I think it was called had a strapping the feet in component. So no longer needing to look at his feet Josiah went tooling around the hospital halls steering pretty seamlessly. It made me cry & blew my mind. He Could pedal when he didn’t have to focus his mind on the entire process AND amazingly he could steer extremely well, something I’d seen Zero Evidence of at home.

That experience & several others in academic settings really convinced me of the importance of adaptive technologies. These type of instruments helped to level the playing field for those with “limitations”. Life changing!

pre-existing law
Mike Netter
@nettermike
The Trump administration is making sponsors pay back the money that migrants received through tax-payer funded benefits like welfare and health care. Deputy Secretary of HHS, Jim O’Neill, is sending out demands for repayment from sponsors of migrants who have accessed taxpayer-funded benefits.
Its actually a pre-existing law that was not enforced during the Biden Administration.
O’Neill said that sponsors are on the hook for the money when sponsored migrants use public benefits.
This action lines up with federal immigration law, which has required this type of accountability since the 1996 welfare reform.
Details:
Sponsors who sign Form I-864 (Affidavit of Support) enter a legally binding contract to reimburse the government for any benefits received by the sponsored migrant.
Covered benefits typically include programs like Medicaid, SNAP, TANF, and SSI administered through HHS or related agencies.
The obligation remains until the migrant becomes a U.S. citizen, accrues 40 quarters of qualifying work, departs the country permanently, or dies.
Agencies may demand repayment directly from sponsors, with options to pursue legal action for non-compliance, including recovery of costs and fees.
This move makes sure migrant sponsors, not American taxpayers, should cover support costs, preventing public resources from being used when private commitments exist.

Clawbacks send messages even if they are not effective in recouping the cash.

patfrederick

true!

mollypitcher5

Exactly!

Aubergine

If the “sponsors” are organizations, then the government can go after assets and such. It’s much harder for a group to weasel out of the obligation than an individual.

I wonder if Catholic Charities signed on to sponsor illegals, for example.

Wolf Moon

Yup. Catholic, Lutheran, and Jewish orgs are top of the list, I’m betting.

Its actually a pre-existing law that was not enforced during the Biden Administration.

Demmunists had her in a chess fork, too. Dumb GOP unknown with tons of money and won’t bail from race. She calls him “quixotic”. She would have to spend half on the primary. He would likely run as a third party if he loses, splitting the general.

Just The News: “The U.S. House Committee on Homeland Security has released an updated report highlighting terrorism threats to Americans.

It did so after holding a hearing on Tuesday during which Director of the National Counterterrorism Center Joe Kent testified that the NCTC had identified at least 18,000 known or suspected terrorists who were released into the U.S. during the Biden administration, The Center Square reported. The NCTC has also added roughly 35,000 narco-terrorists to the federal Terrorist Screening Dataset since he’s been in office.

The unprecedented 18,000 KSTs exclude the 6,525 KSTs the NCTC helped prevent from entering the country as of October, The Center Square reported.

The committee’s “Terror Threat Snapshot” highlights recent examples of terrorist acts that have occurred in the U.S. over the past six months. It also notes that more than 60 cases were reported between April 2021 and December 2025 related to individuals linked to or inspired by foreign terrorist organizations. This includes those who’ve provided material support to ISIS, Hezbollah and al Queda, who received military level training from Hezbollah and al Queda, and who claimed to commit attacks because they were inspired by foreign terrorist organizations.

It cites terrorist cases that have been prosecuted in at least 25 states. Examples of recent terrorist attacks include two National Guard soldiers from Iowa and an interpreter killed by an ISIS gunman in Syria and Afghan nationals released into the U.S. through a failed Biden administration parole program.

Afghans continue to be arrested for committing crimes in the U.S. Recent examples include three Afghan men charged in one week with terrorism-related crimes. One shot two National Guard members in Washington, D.C., killing one; another was apprehended by Texas Department of Public Safety officers in Fort Worth accused of plotting a 9/11 style terrorist attack; another was arrested in Virginia accused of supporting ISIS.

Last month, three Muslim men were arrested in Dearborn, Michigan, charged with conspiring to provide material support to ISIS and possessing firearms to commit a terrorist act on behalf of ISIS. The FBI also arrested two teenagers in New Jersey last month for their role in the alleged plot, the report notes.

In October, a Palestinian man was arrested in Lafayette, Louisiana, for his alleged role in the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas terrorist attack against Israel. He’s a member of a Palestinian National Resistance Brigade, known as the Martyr Umar al-Qasim Forces, the Department of Justice said. He entered the U.S. on Sept. 12, 2024, providing “false information in his U.S. visa application relating to his involvement with a paramilitary organization, connection to Hamas, participation in a terrorist attack, and military training,” the Department of Homeland Security said. Under the Trump administration, a DOJ Joint Task Force found him and arrested him.

In September, a Pakistani man was sentenced to nine years in prison for attempting to provide material support to ISIS, including planning to attack New Yorkers on pedestrian bridges in Queens. Also in September, two Muslim men were arrested in Salt Lake City, charged with aggravated arson, threat of terrorism and possessing weapons of mass destruction, in connection to an attempt to blow up a Fox 13 vehicle, which failed.

In June, an Afghan national living in Oklahoma City pleaded guilty to two terrorism offenses, including providing material support to ISIS and receiving firearms and ammunition to commit an Election Day terrorist attack on behalf of ISIS.

“Twenty-four years after 9/11, what we heard from Director [of the National Counterterrorism Center Joseph] Kent in our annual Worldwide Threats hearing last week should disturb every American,” Committee Chairman Andrew Garbarino, R-New York, said. He pointed to Biden administration vetting failures, open-border policies and the deadly withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan, as well as the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks for exacerbating terrorism threats.

Under the Biden administration, Islamic terrorist incidents increased in the U.S. and worldwide with a majority of Americans polled expressing concerns about terrorism, The Center Square reported.

The response is a “whole-of-government approach,” including continued congressional oversight and legislative action, Garbarino said. “Congress has an immense responsibility to ensure our local, state, and federal agencies have the resources and tools to succeed in this no-fail mission.”

The report also includes examples of domestic terrorism, including Americans who attacked U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers, increasing antisemitic and terrorist attacks worldwide.”

Thank you KK for all that you do for us here and in the fight to keep America great.
Merry Christmas to the family in the Philippines. Don’t know where you are but my aunt was a nun who ran the medical and dental program in Baybay, leyte for years . She always brought us cool presents when she came home for visits. We all thought they were really exotic being the city slickers that we were!

Valerie Curren

HS friends & American Field Service exchange students, a brother & sister–Edgardo & Monina–were from Metro Manilla, iirc. Their aunt lived in a posh hi-rise like a half mile from our HS. We were friends our Senior Year of HS & I had the privilege of driving them to an event (surprise B-day for me at a friend’s house) & when we were leaving got to witness them encountering their first snow. It was Really Special!!!

Valerie Curren

Yes. Did you get that experience with your wife?

I echo everyone’s sentiments on your wonderful Saturday posts–so glad you stepped up!!! Have a Very Merry Christmas & a Blessed New Year!

Loved the Adams video. Reading about my last signer at the end of the month will mean more now if folks will dedicate the time to it (it is long). There will be a follow up in January of a bit more truth about the Boston Massacre and Adams involvement. They are polishing the Adams apple in the video, there is a much deeper understory that even goes into the subsequent Boston Tea Party. He is still a hero, just in a different way that probably saved a great many more patriot lives than the events around the Massacre.

Which is why I did the series. Historians and even patriots want to leave out the less than clean and glam parts. That is not how life works. The pursuit of truth no matter the outcome matters. It shows the participants as they actually were as real people, instead of superheroes in a comic book or Marvel movie.

TradeBait2

And for what it is worth, Adams did not like living in Braintree with the commoners – his words. He moved his family off the farm to Boston. They had to move back to the farm when things got spicy hot there leading up to the war. He was never one for chumming around with the average folks. He found them too rough and rowdy for his taste.

patfrederick

well…he’d certainly not like us deplorables either…LOLOL

TradeBait2

The first sign of who he valued most was when he refused to go into the clergy as his parents wanted. He considered the clergy doofuses and valued the law and lawyers as more intelligent, ethical and interesting. He is quoted for having said as much 🤣

I remember in high school, they showed us 1776 the movie. William Daniels played John Adams and later i remember thinking when i saw him on Boy Meets World as Principal of John Adams High…how apropos he was in that role…

Cuppa Covfefe

William Daniels voiced K.I.T.T. on Knight Rider, and Brent Spiner (Data, from STTNG) played John Adams in the Broadway revival of 1776…

He was at some sort of celebrity signing in Stuttgart (quite) a while back, and I wish I could have gone to it and sung “Sit Down, John” to him… it was in summer then, humid, and hot, so I could have added, “someone better open up a window…it’s 90 degrees, have mercy, John please, for Heaven’s sake, John, sit down” 😆

https://conservativeplaybook.com/the-scale-of-the-diversity-lottery-visa-is-massive/

FTA “For decades, Americans have been told that the Diversity Visa Lottery is a small, symbolic program designed to promote fairness and opportunity. The reality is far different. The program has quietly become a massive immigration pipeline, importing nearly half a million migrants into the United States every decade with minimal public debate and limited scrutiny.
That scrutiny ramped up this week after it was revealed Portuguese national Claudio Manuel Neves Valente — accused of murders at Brown University and MIT — arrived in the U.S. in 2017 after being awarded a diversity visa. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and President Donald Trump have since paused the program.

According to recent reporting, the Diversity Visa Lottery has brought in close to 500,000 people over the last ten years alone. That number rivals or exceeds many immigration programs that receive far more attention from lawmakers and the media. Unlike employment-based visas tied to specific skills or family-based visas grounded in existing relationships, this program relies primarily on random selection, with eligibility determined largely by country of origin rather than merit, skills, or assimilation potential. President Donald Trump has repeatedly argued for a shift toward merit-based immigration and an end to programs that prioritize chance over contribution. The Diversity Visa Lottery stands as a prime example of the kind of system his supporters believe undermines American workers, weakens border security, and erodes the rule of law. As immigration continues to dominate the national conversation, the Diversity Visa Lottery deserves far more attention than it receives, and not just because of the recent murders. Its scale is not trivial. Its impact is not theoretical. And its future should be decided openly, with honest debate about whether a random lottery aligns with the needs and values of the American people.”

How about ending the stupid “lottery” immigration program altogether!!!! Immigration is destroying American culture and the Republic as foreign born persons become Judges, Police Chiefs, members of Congress all representing their foreign country!!!! JMO

Yup – it is time to vomit up the stuff that had made our nation diseased.

Women should only work if they WANT to.

I planned on working until I married and had my first kid. I was working to build a ‘nest egg’ to buy a home AND in 1970 it would have taken us SEVEN YEARS to save enough to buy a 3 bedroom ranch ($22,000) outright.

The OPEC ‘oil crisis’ blew that dream out of the water and it has gotten worse and worse ever since.

It was never needed. The name says it all: Diversity Visa Lottery, as in DEI.

EACH DAY WE TAKE UP THE OFFENSIVE WEAPON OF THE WORD OF GOD – THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT – ONE VERSE OPENS THE DOOR TO THE CONTEXT OF THE CHAPTER MESSAGE

Verse of the Day for Saturday, December 20, 2025

“And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.”

Matthew 18:3 (KJV)

COMMENTARY FOR MATTHEW 18

The importance of humility. (1-6) Caution against offences. (7-14) The removal of offences. (15-20) Conduct towards brethren. The parable of the unmerciful servant. (21-35)

(1-6) Christ spoke many words of his sufferings, but only one of his glory; yet the disciples fasten upon that, and overlook the others. Many love to hear and speak of privileges and glory, who are willing to pass by the thoughts of work and trouble. Our Lord set a little child before them, solemnly assuring them that unless they were converted and made like little children, they could not enter his kingdom. Children, when very young, do not desire authority, do not regard outward distinctions, are free from malice, are teachable, and willingly dependent on their parents. It is true that they soon begin to show other dispositions, and other ideas are taught them at an early age; but these are marks of childhood, and render them proper emblems of the lowly minds of true Christians. Surely we need to be daily renewed in the spirit of our minds, that we may become simple and humble, as little children, and willing to be the least of all. Let us daily study this subject, and examine our own spirits.

Commentary by Matthew Henry, 1710.

WE ARE FIGHTING A SPIRITUAL WAR OF GOOD VERSUS EVIL

PRAYING ON THE ARMOR OF GOD

Father God, I now follow your command to put on the full armor of God, because my battle is not against flesh and blood but against rulers, authorities, the powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in the unseen world.

I first pray on the Belt of Truth that it may be buckled around my waist, may I be centered and encircled by your truth dear Lord. Hem me inside all that is true and right, and may I be protected and held up by the truth of your living word, in my Lord Jesus name.

I pray on the Breastplate of righteousness, please protect my vital organs and my inner man, cover my integrity, my spirit, and my soul. Guard my heart for it is the wellspring of life, please strengthen and guard the most vulnerable places in my life with that which is right, good, and noble that I might not receive a fatal blow from the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.

I pray on the Gospel Shoes of Peace. I choose to stand in the shoes of your good news, and on the firm foundation of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the solid eternal rock. All other ground is sinking sand, I pray that I will not slip or fall, but that my feet would be firmly fitted on your lordship, my Lord Jesus. I choose to stand on you, so that the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus, the eternal Rock of Ages. I receive your holy peace now my Lord, from the sole of my feet to the crown of my head, in my Lord Jesus name.

I pray the Shield of Faith into my hand now. As I take up the shield of faith, I ask that you might extinguish every dart and arrow that is launched from the enemy to take me down spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, and every attempt of the enemy to destroy my joy. I ask that my faith in you would make it flame out. Extinguish every flaming arrow that would come against me, my life, my family, my home, or my ministry. May my faith always be out in front of me like a shield. Give me the courage to “faith my fears” by choosing to walk by faith and not by sight, in my Lord Jesus name.

I pray on the Helmet of Salvation, that you might protect my mind from the thoughts that can lead me astray. I choose to take every thought captive, and arrest all intentioned ideas and motives that would harm others, or distract me from your holy will for me. I submit every captured thought to the Lordship of my Lord Jesus Christ, and ask that you would imprison those thoughts that are not of you my Lord. Transform my mind and renew my thinking that I may think God thoughts, and have a sober mind that is focused on your glory. Please protect me from being double minded that I may allow my mind, I reject to live an earthly life, because I choose to live a holy one, governed by you My Lord Jesus, the prince of peace, please have my mind to be saturated with the holy mind of Christ, in my Lord Jesus name.

Finally, I take up the Sword of the Spirit which is the holy word of God, I pray this powerful offensive weapon into my hand, and ask that your holy word would be fitting for every encounter I face. As the enemy gets close to me, please give me the insight, wisdom, and skill to wield the word of God to drive away the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.

May the enemy and his team flee from me, upon hearing the word of God spoken by the power and direction of the Holy Spirit. Give me the sword of the spirit to cut through the wiles of the devil, so that I may discern the schemes of the enemy when he is near.

With all kinds of prayers, supplication, and intercession I pray to you my Lord God as the one who fights my battles. Now that I’m in your holy powerful armor, I walk away covered and ready to face my day as you go before me, and please protect me in the midst of the spiritual warfare in this unseen world, in my Lord Jesus name.

Thank you my Lord, for the spiritual weapons of armor and prayer that you have given me. It is written no weapon formed against me shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses me. 

Thank you Father God, my Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit, that I am more than a conqueror in my Lord Jesus. I pray all of this in the mighty name of my Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ, Amen.

PURE IN HEART

Hearken Ye – Blest are the Pure in Heart;
For they shall see our God when they depart;
The secret of the Lord is surely theirs;
In Christ’s abode – their souls become heirs!

Their lives give glory to the Prince of Peace
Their love for Him is strong – it will not cease;
Like Him – they dwell in lowliness – with men;
Like Him – their pattern for holiness – Amen!

To the lowly soul – His grace He imparts;
With His Spirit pure – He fills their hearts;
For His cradle – and His heavenly throne;
He chooses the Pure in Heart – they alone!

Lord – Let us pray – Thy presence we seek;
Lord – For we pray – Thy blessing unique;
Give us – we pray – a pure and lowly heart;
The Grace from Your Spirit that You impart!

The temple within – we will surely refine;
For the pure resting place of the Divine;
Purify us, Oh Lord – that we may be worthy;
To receive Your Grace – wholly and humbly!

Give us this day your blessing, Oh Lord;
Keep us securely – surely in Your Word;
Let Your Spirit abide within us today;
For You are the Truth, the Life, and the Way!

Blest are the Pure in Heart – the Bible says;
For they are the ones who know God’s ways;
Create in us all – a heart that is pure;
So we will be servants of all – for sure!

Let not worldly concerns sweep us away;
Temptation and sinfulness – let us defray;
For it is in giving – that we will receive;
And the Pure in Heart – will ever believe!

The Glory of God – will be theirs to enjoy;
If they seek His face – in all they employ;
Grant us – Oh, Lord – a heart that is pure;
For the Pure in Heart – will surely endure!

This is…interesting. Was Rob Reiner working for the CIA?

“Rob Reiner did for Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) what Ray Kroc did for hamburgers, what Henry Ford did for the automobile, and what Genghis Khan may have done for sexually transmitted diseases; he brought it to the masses.

Reiner’s tweets weren’t informative, clever, or funny; they were over-the-top insulting and, more importantly, accusatory, so much so that an acne-besotted incel from Butler, Penn., might want to take a shot at Trump.

https://pjmedia.com/kevindowneyjr/2025/12/20/was-rob-reiner-a-deep-state-spook-roll-the-tape-n4947314#google_vignette

TradeBait2

Short answer IMO – yes. His dad was a commie sympathizer, which is the same as saying he was a commie.

Aubergine

And I have to wonder if “Meathead” from All in the Family was a character designed to make normal people (Archie) look mean and intolerant, and weirdo Commies (Meathead) seem sympathetic. Predictive programming. Reiner may have been a “Mockingbird.”

Cuppa Covfefe

“All in the Family” was based on the British series “Til Death Do Us Part”…

From Wacky (OK, I know…):

Created by Johnny Speight, Till Death Us Do Part centred on the East End Garnett family, led by patriarch Alf Garnett (Warren Mitchell), a reactionary white working-class man who holds racist and anti-socialist views.

His long-suffering wife Else was played by Dandy Nichols, and his daughter Rita by Una Stubbs. Rita’s husband Mike Rawlins (Anthony Booth) is a socialist “layabout” from Liverpool who frequently locks horns with Garnett.

Alf Garnett became a well-known character in British culture, and Mitchell played him on stage and television until Speight’s death in 1998.

TradeBait2

👍 Of course it was. Carl was definitely an operative IMO. It was stand to reason his son was programmed into it.

Some follow up on the Brown shooter. Maybe my initial tin foil was wrong. This article and another at the NYPost through people that knew him show that he apparently was one of those guys that is smart but that’s not enough. He wanted to be the smartest in the room. Anyway, the articles make me believe that his ego was wounded and the grudge festered. Still haven’t seen what exactly he did for the last 20 yrs and that X with OZero as a follower is strange though.

Here’s why Claudio Neves Valente may have targeted Brown U., MIT professor

https://nypost.com/2025/12/19/us-news/heres-why-claudio-neves-valente-may-have-targeted-brown-u-mit-prof/

TheseTruths

That explains why he might have targeted the professor but doesn’t mention Ella Cook. Some possibilities:

• Valente targeted both individuals but for different reasons.
• Valente targeted both individuals for related reasons.
• Valente didn’t target Cook at all.

And, right on cue, here’s former CDC Director, DR. MANDY COHEN, MD, writing in the New England Journal of Medicine about “how important it is for state and local governments and also parents to ignore the new regulations of HHS and go back to enforcement of mandated “vaccinations” for children” —

IMO, Dr. Mandy Cohen, MD, MPH, is a perfect example of ESTABLISHMENT MEDICINE.
And, IMO, her NEJM piece is a perfect example of “backhand attack” on HHS Sec. Kennedy, Jr., “because he’s not medical professional or a PhD — he’s just a lawyer — so he’s not qualified to talk about healthcare, let alone regulate it.”

Good morning, C&C, it’s Saturday! In the Weekend Edition: Trump blows affordability out of the water with another massive announcement on pharma prices; president teases insurance concessions coming soon, too; HHS cracks down on sponsors of legal immigrants who go on welfare; peak FAFO story turns out in Elon Musk’s favor, signaling great momentum; blast from Elon’s past highlights historic irony; Rogan platforms undeniable ivermectin story; Epstein disclosure day disappoints critics but puts a stake through Bubba’s vampiric heart; great inflation news as numbers moving faster than the most optimistic experts predicted; and the Times tries (and fails) to define ‘affordability.’

Gail Combs

From the article.

….[lists drug before & after prices]….Those were remarkable.

But one drug captured the headlines— a medication used by millions of Americans: Eliquis, the most prescribed blood thinner on the market. Get this (and I am not making this up): Bristol Myers Squibb and Pfizer agreed to provide Eliquis for free to all Medicare patients.  👉 (Pfizer has certainly made a lot of concessions this year so far. It’s almost like Trump has something on Pfizer. I couldn’t say what, exactly.) 👈 

Gee, I was saying the same yesterday. POTUS is using the Covid Clot Shot as a shot-gun to the belly of Pfizer and others to get concessions.

Wolf Moon

Blood thinner to clean up after the clot shot. Makes sense!

Gail Combs

Hubby is on rat poison because we can not afford the better drugs.

pgroup2

Why aren’t you on Medicare with Part D?

Gail Combs

I get NO prescription drugs. Hubby’s rat poison is $10/month and Part D is $35/mo. The annual deductible is a maximum $615 in 2026. The Cap is $2,100 in out-of-pocket spending for the year.

So far it makes no sense to spend the money on Part D.

ELIQUIS has a Black Box Warning on Page One of the FDA Fact Sheet about risk of stroke if it is discontinued without another similar drug (for example, warfarin) ready to take its place.

ELIQUIS also has a Warnings and Precautions section on the same page.

Please see below:

FDA Package Insert:

There are other items mentioned in the Package Insert, such as that ELIQUIS interacts with aspirin and certain NSAIDs (for example, naproxen.) Please see sections 7.1, 7.2, and 7.3 in the Package Insert.

So, Pfizer-BioNTech, for example, “has its cake and eats it, too” here —
First, people take the company’s modRNA COVID-19 “vaccine” and thereafter present with coagulation / cardiac issues.
Second, along comes Pfizer-BioNTech with ELIQUIS, which drug has its OWN set of drug interactions, potential for stroke risk, etc., for these “vaccinated” persons to take.

A candidate for Florida Governor’s seat does not want public schools filled with illegal aliens.

Florida Gubernatorial Candidate James Fishback Aims to Overturn SCOTUS Ruling Allowing Children of Illegals to Attend Public Schools

Globalist politicians in both major U.S. parties are waging “war against regular Americans” via mass migration, according to Florida gubernatorial candidate James Fishback.

Fishback, a fourth-generation Floridian who founded Azoria Capital, says his father’s tree-cutting business of 20 years was destroyed when Haitians surged into the Sunshine State and flooded the cheap labor market following the catastrophic 2010 earthquake.

“Most conservatives would agree that we don’t want a mass influx or invasion of any kind, whether it is illegal or — perhaps even worse — if it’s legal,” Fishback stated.

“If you drop off 10 million Somalians… in the middle of Georgia and they’re ‘legal,’ does that make it any better? In fact, it might make it worse because those who are legal get instant work authorization and are eligible for federal benefits like SNAP, WIC, and welfare.”

Fishback believes government “has an obligation to step in” when free market policies are being abused by corporations chasing profits at the expense of American workers.

“You have an obligation to Americans, and especially an obligation to Americans who are literally being discriminated against, never being offered so much as a job interview, never being offered the opportunity to even prove themselves, but instead replaced with cheap, foreign slave labor,” he said.

Fishback pointed out that H-1B visa approvals are roughly matching or outpacing the current rate of deportations, which is cause for concern.

“In net terms, we actually are bringing in more people in any given day than we were the prior,” he asserted.

Fishback hopes to expand on Gov. Ron DeSantis’ efforts to crack down on illegal immigration in Florida by incentivizing sheriff’s departments with monetary rewards for apprehensions and subsequent deportations.

He also pointed out that classrooms across the state are packed with students who speak little to no English.

In 1982, the Supreme Court ruled in Plyler v. Doe that a state cannot prevent children of “undocumented immigrants” from attending public school unless a substantial state interest is involved.

If elected governor, Fishback hopes to challenge that ruling and “overturn it for the entire country. Florida is a beautiful place to do it.”

“We’re going to be checking the citizenship of every single student. If you cannot, as a parent, prove that your child is legally supposed to be in this country, they are going to be unenrolled from the school in question,” he said.

“If you get rid of the free childcare that hundreds of thousands of people are taking advantage of in our state, which is the education system… and begin to pull back those benefits, we’re creating an active disincentive that says, ‘You know what, we’re going to suck you dry.’”

Fishback believes globalists have unleashed relentless waves of Third World migrants into the U.S. and other Western nations due to a “deep-seated contempt for the heritage of America, for our identity, for our culture.”

“They would much rather this be an economic zone with a very pliable, malleable group of people, as opposed to people who actually have an identity, have a heritage, and have allegiance to something bigger than another free trade area.”

No, Vivek. Allegiance matters. Culture matters. Heritage matters. America was never just a borderless “idea”. It was, and still must be, a nation. 
The Founders knew this, and they warned against reducing American identity to a mere abstraction.
Alexander Hamilton wrote plainly in 1802:
“The influx of foreigners must, therefore, tend to change and corrupt the national spirit… In the composition of a government, every man ought to be supposed a knave. The safety of a republic depends essentially on the energy of a common national sentiment… To admit foreigners indiscriminately to the rights of citizens the moment they put foot on our soil, is to invite a Trojan horse into the citadel of our liberty and sovereignty.”
Hamilton was defending the integrity of a nation. Citizenship was to be earned, not handed out like candy.
Theodore Roosevelt echoed this over a century later:
“There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism… A hyphenated American is not an American at all. The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin… would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities… a nation of groups divided by national lines and divided by languages… A nation of such men is not a nation at all, but a conglomerate of warring factions.”
John Adams put it even more bluntly:
“Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”
No system can rise above the character of the people who uphold it.
Character is destiny. Culture is the foundation.
America isn’t a borderless ideology. It’s a constitutional civilization, one that cannot survive mass immigration.
To reduce it to a feel-good “idea” is not only ahistorical, it’s dangerous, and a betrayal of our sovereignty.

Sir ES

Well done, Pat!

“Where we go one, we go all.”

WWG1WGA isn’t just an acronym; it’s a creed!

I’m continually impressed by the words and inspired sensibility of our Founding Fathers. A tremendous compounding of intellect, and acute perspective, earned from life experience.

Time to get back to basics – to follow, and revere, the wisdom and forethought of those who created our blessed Constitutional Republic.

May God bless America, the Land that we LOVE!

Merry Christmas, to one and all!

patfrederick

And to you, Sir!

patfrederick

agree. we come from fighters and builders–men of action. not thieves, not lazy bums–but workersand doers. the people coming here for the gravy train are nothing like that.

Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year too.

Our greatest strength is the set of ideals that unite us across that diversity.

Diversity has no place in it. Our greatest strength is that we embody the principles of our founding, as manifested in how we have fought for those principles and will continue to fight for them, to the death if necessary.

No other people on earth, as a group, are like us. It is possible for individuals to come here and assimilate and come to understand, believe in, and even fight for American principles, but that doesn’t happen with large groups being brought here from other cultures. We are not the same, and “diversity” is why.

https://www.dictionary.com/browse/diversity

the state or fact of being diversedifference; unlikeness

They are not like us. We don’t want them or need them as representatives of a different belief system and way of life. We need to preserve America as founded.

Anyone who is still promoting diversity is suspect, IMO.

Last year we won a great victory. We defeated the forces who wanted to end America as we know it. 

 For the last year, Trump and his admin have unleashed a blitzkrieg of change on this country that has never been seen before. They have accomplished a multitude of great things. More than most could ever dream. The pace of change has been unbelievable. 

However, the job is not done. 2026 is shaping up to be a hell of a fight for the future of our country. Ignore the doomers, the panicans, the lying legacy media, and the dems. We are living in consequential times. Many wish to stop the change for their own reasons. Reasons that are probably not good for you and yours. 

Many of those people are within the wire. Ignore them. 

 We will never see a period like this again. This is for all the marbles and there can be only one leader at a time. 2028 is meaningless atm. We need to win 2026, first 

You can’t get sidetracked by the issue of the day or lost in the weeds created by those who wish to sow doubt and confusion.  

I said last year, no one understood the blitzkrieg that was about to be released. I was correct. 

 I’ll say it again. No one understands what is coming in 2026 on the economic front, on foreign policy, on regulations, on pretty much any level because the media, podcasters, and others refused to cover all the wins of 2025. 

2025 was in many ways a transition year. 2026 will not be a transition.

 The vast majority of Trump’s government is now in place. Most of the court battles are done. Policies are now starting to bite. Deregulation and new rule making are beginning. People are now making plans under the new rules.  

The transition gives way to stability. Stability gives way to growth and rebirth. 

A victroy in 2026 will go a long way in cementing all of the change from 2025 and all the change that will happen in 2026.

1) I see the usual takes are out on Stefanik and some of the other resignations. Almost all are wrong. 

2) Here is what is happening. Trump has so radically changed Washington that these people actually HAVE TO WORK to keep up with him.

https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/2002380834565709977.html

Wolf Moon

Not buying it on Stefanik. Her decision not to do a primary fight with a Dem-manipulated bozo is smart. The dude is a retard who would likely run as a third candidate if beaten.

We had a bozo like that in Ohio politics. Blew a race in a safe red zone by splitting the majority that would have gone to the awesome conservative gal, and the Demmunist won. As far as I know, he never figured out that his big-money backer was likely a Dem operative of some kind.

Wolf Moon

Note that I’m just calling these people retards. Nobody calls the normal mentally deficient “retards” any more. It’s reserved for political idiots now!

Gail Combs

They LOVE to toss in a libertarian candidate in order to split the vote.

Ross Perot helped Beezebubba get in twice, iirc. Didn’t he only get 40% of the vote or something?

I don’t think that will work because it starts with “blob”…

Your last one reminds me of a prank the guys played at hunting camp. Our oldest son is deathly afraid of spiders…anyway Hubby & his long time hunting buddy Pete posted a BS but very official DNR-looking sign at the outhouse about some very dangerous brown recluse spiders that liked to crawl into warm dark places so you better blind them with a 10,000 candle watt light when taking care of business for 30 seconds or less just to be safe 😉 😉 Hubby said that he thought Nathaniel refused to use the outhouse for like Five Years after that even though the pranksters admitted they’d made the whole thing up!

Gail Combs

ERRRrrrr for us cavers it was sort of true.

I liked the sign:

PLEASE PISS STRAIGHT DOWN.
THE SPIDERS HAVE ALREADY HAD THEIR BATH TODAY.

Well, this is terrible. Apparently the argument Rob Reiner and his son had at that party was so bad, some people wanted to call the cops, but Conan O’brien quashed the idea.

https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2025/12/20/new-details-reveal-rob-reiners-murder-was-preventable-n4947333#google_vignette

People should follow their instincts and call in help if they think it is warranted. We had to call the cops on a used-to-be-neighbor lady once years ago. We could hear her over the fence, in what sounded like a literal assault on her young (maybe 10-11) daughter, yelling and we thought hitting her. It took like four cops, big guys, to get her out of the house, she was fighting so hard. We discovered later that she was high as a kite on meth. Oh, and she was an ATTORNEY.

So yeah, we had to call the police on somebody you would never want to call the cops on, because it was so clearly the right thing to do in the moment. I wish somebody had just overridden Conan and done it.

Wolf Moon

WOW. Yup. People just don’t take things seriously.

Conan will be haunted by this, sadly, but others can learn.

Gail Combs

With the drugs now out there, it is even more important to do so.

scott467

Guessing that if Conan ever wanted to work again, there was no way he was calling the cops on Rob Reiner’s son. Conan doesn’t have enough star power to risk getting the police involved in Rob Reiner’s family squabble.

If Rob or Michele wanted the cops to be called, they had phones.
