Herod, the king of Judaea, was a tyrant who killed all boys 2 years old or younger. What were Mary & Joseph supposed to do—Wait for their infant son to be murdered? No, they fled to Egypt, next door to Israel. If that’s not a refugee, what is? Should Egypt have turned them back?
Merry Christmas!

Todd Blanche said it is DOJ policy NOT to release photos that contain victims.

So . . . the release of [undoctored] photos with Bill Clinton is an exoneration of him and refusing to release pics with Donald Trump is an admission of Trump's culpability.

Good to know.

Had Bari Weiss just ran the story, it would have been seen by a couple million people tops. The bootleg has now gone viral, and may end up being the most-watched 60 Minutes segment ever. It might be time to rename the Streisand Effect.

The banned 60 Minutes episode about the CECOT torture prison used by the Trump admin is now exploding across the internet. Be sure to watch so you can see the excellent reporting done by Sharyn Alfonsi & her team at 60 Minutes:
And now someone has uploaded a version that wasn't filmed off a TV.

There's also the torrent link there, which is probably the fastest way to download the 60 Minutes segment on CECOT if you want to save the file locally to your computer.

Off duty law-enforcement officer, driving home after a 10 hour shift, sees a car pass at high speed, run off the road, and roll over. The officer pulls over, calls 911, then walks through knee-deep snow to help the person out.

Trump set new Kentucky records w/his 64.4%, 2024 win.

The nat'l poverty rate is 10.6%. In Kentucky, it's 16.6%.

Jim Beam employed some 1500 Kentuckians - up til now, anyway.

Congratulations, MAGA, you've scored another big middle finger from your lord and master.
Jim Beam Whiskey will shut its distillery for 2026 thanks to plummeting sales amid retaliatory tariffs from the European Union after Trump's tariffs and a bourbon boycott from Canada.

Trump is bailing out farmers to the tune of $12 million. Yet China has only bought 1/4 the soybeans it promised. Think the 2010 Tea Partiers will be happy to pony up for the bailout, on top of Elon Musk and Jared Kushner and Jeff Bezos and Tim Cook’s tax cuts from the BBB?
