Really? Can't you guys (and gals, don't want to be sexist) give it up for just a few days? Like the famed Christmas Truce in WWI? I guess not, so here goes.
Steve Richards and John Solomon at JTN wonder Do feds have FISA evidence on Bidens? Court memos suggest they might, and Congress wants it. "Evidence intercepted under FISA is sensitive intelligence, but Congress has succeeded in important investigations to obtain it, including in the post-Sept. 11 inquiry of security failures, and the Russia collusion case, where an intercept of Trump national security advisor Mike Flynn with a Russian ambassador was shown to lawmakers." But that was different, because, Trump! From Truth About Guns, Hunter Biden is Exactly The Kind of Gun Criminal Joe Biden Has Said He Wants to Find and Prosecute.
At TownHall Matt Vespa Wait, The Biden Administration Wanted to Cover Up the Chinese Spy Balloon Incident? and Spencer Brown 'Utter Disaster': It's No Wonder the Biden Admin Tried to Bury November Border Stats Of course, the first instinct of government is to bury unpleasant news. Jazz Shaw at Hat Hair, Biden's Christmas Present for You: Another Record Number of Illegal Border Crossings. Can I send it back? Or at least re-gift it to New York? At NewsBusters, PATHETIC: NYT Twists Own Poll Data to Shield Biden from Atrocious Economic Numbers.
From Fox, Biden approval rating numbers dismal compared to previous modern presidents, Gallup finds "Biden saw a small uptick in approval in recent weeks, but critically remains below 40%." At Slate, There Is No Precedent for How Bad Biden’s Polls Are Right Now, "It’s even worse than it looks." Paul Bedard at WaEx finds Biden making Trump the ‘Nelson Mandela of America’
The Dersh, on Fox, The Colorado ruling was absurd and ‘laughable’: Gregg Jarrett "Alan Dershowitz and Gregg Jarrett discuss the Supreme Court’s decision to decline an expedited ruling on former President Trump’s immunity case on ‘Hannity.’" Breitbart hears from Wasserman Schultz: ‘Hopefully’ Trump Will Be Banned from Other State Ballots. Michael Barone discusses The Politics of Incumbent Rejection. Tim Graham, How Can Liberals Strike a Pose as the Guardians of Democracy? Jonathan Turley at Messenger, Supreme Court Decision May Delay Trump’s Trial, But It Also Preserves the Legal Process. "Ironically, Judge Chutkan ruled against Trump on immunity and the scheduling by insisting that he should be treated no differently from ordinary citizens. That is precisely what the Supreme Court just did. It refused to take away an appeal that most ordinary defendants could expect from the courts." Harold Hutchinson at Da Caller, After Jack Smith’s SCOTUS Setback, Former Federal Prosecutor Says Georgia Case Is Dems’ Best Bet To Jail Trump. From ET, Trump Cases for Supreme Court Review Start Piling Up. "Trump spent a good portion of 2023 campaigning while simultaneously litigating several criminal and civil suits." Althouse, "The unbroken tradition of not exercising the supposed formidable power of criminally prosecuting a president for official acts — despite ample motive and opportunity to do so, over centuries — implies that the power does not exist." "Says the brief for Donald Trump. Quoted in "Trump Asks Appeals Court to Toss Election Case on Immunity Grounds/The court filing was the latest development in a battle between Mr. Trump and the special counsel, Jack Smith, over whether the former president can be prosecuted for his actions while in office" (NYT). . . . That's rich, blaming Trump for the spectacle of the criminal trial. Then there's also the problem of Trump's other 3 criminal trials. Where to cram them in before Election Day?"
From RCP, The Fear Factor and Winning the Independent Voter and Straw Poll Shows Young Trump Voters Want Carlson or Vivek as VP. Maybe Vivek, four years of serving in a job that's been described as "not worth a bucket of warm spit" might calm him down a bit. We need Tucker free to talk. At Da Fetched, Charlie Kirk Stuns RFK Jr. with Simple Question about Joe Biden. "So what would you agree with Biden on?” Kirk asked the candidate. RFK Jr. paused, then responded with a simple, “I don’t know.”"
At WaEx, Wisconsin Supreme Court rules GOP-drawn legislative map unconstitutional in big win for Dems. "Wisconsin's Supreme Court decided Friday that the Republican-submitted legislative maps must be redrawn as they don't consist of contiguous territory." Althouse analyzes "In an angry dissent, Justice Annette Ziegler, one of three conservatives on the panel, denounced the liberal majority as 'robewearers'...." "From "Justices in Wisconsin Order New Legislative Maps/The ruling, coming just months after liberals gained a 4-to-3 majority on the State Supreme Court, could undo gerrymanders that have given Republicans lopsided control of the State Legislature" (NYT)." "I see that Democrats are exulting, but why would more compact, contiguous districts help Democrats? Their problem has been that Democratic voters are concentrated in urban areas. If the court's decision means what that Karofsky quote says, won't more Democrats end up packed into districts that already had a safe Democratic majority? Our former governor, Scott Walker, said "This is not the win the left thinks it is."" From the AZ Sun, New Documentary ‘State of Denial’ Goes over Election Illegalities in Maricopa County’s 2022 Election, Reveals ‘Intentional Conduct to Sabotage the Election’ "The full film can be seen on Rumble and YouTube."

Nicholas Ballasy at JTN, More Republicans than Democrats returned Sam Bankman's FTX 2022 cycle campaign donations, "OpenSecrets.org's data continues to be updated on a rolling basis as additional donations are returned. Although Sam Bankman-Fried's ill-gotten gains went to candidates on both sides of the aisle, so far it appears more Republicans than Democrats have returned the money."
