The policies are preemptively countering China's plans there, defending religious freedom, and drawing attention to swelling human rights abuses in Tibet. //
President Trump has signed into law a series of measures creating sanctions for Chinese Communist Party officials assaulting religious rights in Tibet, as well as blocking all new Chinese consulates in the United States until the ancient state is allowed an American consulate.
President Donald Trump declared Dec. 29 the anniversary of the Roman Catholic martyr St. Thomas Becket, honoring the 12th-century English bishop as “a lion of religious liberty.”
“Thomas Becket’s death serves as a powerful and timeless reminder to every American that our freedom from religious persecution is not a mere luxury or accident of history, but rather an essential element of our liberty,” the president’s proclamation said. “It is our priceless treasure and inheritance. And it was bought with the blood of martyrs.” //
The president’s proclamation heralds Becket as the precursor to “numerous constitutional limitations on the power of the state over the Church across the West,” particularly the Magna Carta, which declared that “[T]he English church shall be free, and shall have its rights undiminished and its liberties unimpaired.”
“What Donald Trump has done with pushing the America First agenda is never going to cease,” added Grenell. “Future presidents may try to couch it a little bit differently, or they may try to roll it back, but they are going to be unable to do that.” //
“Those days are over. The American people are much more engaged now because of Donald Trump, and they’re going to expect their government to put America first. I’m really proud of President Trump.
Trump kept his word on abortion, religious liberty, and the rule of law. The radicals running the Democratic Party have shown they'll do anything for power. //
Unlike four years ago, Trump is now a known political quantity. He has fought to keep his promises on the issues I care most about: abortion, religious liberty, and the rule of law. Meanwhile, the radicals running the Democratic Party have demonstrated that they will do anything for power — and that they view people like me as enemies to be punished and destroyed. //
It is nonetheless important to acknowledge the compromises of supporting Trump, especially for Christians whose idea of good character is very far from that the president often exhibits. But this does not require us to follow Never Trump writer David French, who recently scolded Christians who support Trump — how dare we vote for such a bad man!
French highlighted the civil rights movement as an ideal example of Christian political engagement. But the civil rights movement worked with and voted for some of the wickedest men to ever inhabit the White House. If the goal of civil rights for black Americans was worth working with Presidents John Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson (whose respective adulteries, election fraud, and vulgarity, among other sins, are well known), civil rights for those in utero is worth working with President Trump. //
On everything from abortion to energy to health care, Biden is more radical than he was in 2008. The supposed moderation of the Biden-Harris ticket consists mostly of being friendlier to Wall Street and big business than the Bernie Sanders wing of the party. But left-wing corporatism is not centrism, it is just oligarchy with a veneer of social justice buzzwords.
Biden is the candidate of the rich and famous who incessantly criticize the United States but won’t say a word against the genocide being committed by the Chinese communists. He is the candidate for those who use the idea of free trade to require American workers to compete with Chinese slave labor. //
The blue-collar Democratic Party of yore is long gone. Biden is an empty vessel whose administration will be filled by the radical left. He will not return the country to normalcy, nor will he unite us, because the identity politics his party has embraced preclude unity. If you want a preview of Joe Biden’s America, look at what Democrats say; even more, look at what is happening in Democrat-controlled areas.
In Joe Biden’s America, taxpayers will fund abortion on demand until birth. In Joe Biden’s America, men will be allowed in every women-only sport, shelter, and locker room. In Joe Biden’s America, public school teachers will encourage students with gender identity issues to transition over parental objections (if they even tell the parents). In Joe Biden’s America, religious dissenters, even nuns, will be relentlessly harassed by the government.
In Joe Biden’s America, there will be blackouts as our energy infrastructure is intentionally crippled in the name of the environment. In Joe Biden’s America, the rioters, looters, and murderers who have taken over the streets in Democratic areas will have the tacit approval of the federal government. In Joe Biden’s America, the president will work to make China great again.
No, thank you. I’d rather have Trump.
President Trump made the right call here. Just like he did for Lieutenant Clint Lorance. Just like he did for Major Mathew Golsteyn. Just like he did for Chief Eddie Gallagher. And Joe Biden showed, yet again, that he is part of the problem and not part of the solution.
Thousands turned out in Taipei, Taiwan to support Trump and call to “Stop the Steal” and encouraging their fellow citizens to “Fight for Trump.”

Biden only won 17% of the counties Obama won. I’m supposed to believe a population explosion occurred only in those areas? It will be interesting what the 2020 census says. Biden not only did worse in every city than Obama but worse than Clinton. Her numbers were worse than Obama. The only cities that Biden did better than Obama was in the swing states where it counted. These area are overwhelming black voters. I would like to know who the black voter was that wasn’t excited to vote for the first black President but decided that a white 78 year old man who has been in politics for 49 years and authored the crime bill that put their family members and friends in jail motivated them to vote. I wish the media would find these black voters and interview them. I’m curious for an answer. Also Biden received less than 90% of the black vote making it nearly impossible for a Democrat to win. He received less than 60% of the Hispanic vote making it implausible to win in NV, NM and AZ. Since the 1800’s, no President who won FL and OH lost the election sans JFK. JFK’s presidential win has long had alleged corruption and fraud, especially in Chicago under Mayor Daley. Entire news stories and books have been written about it. Why were there over 480,000 votes for Biden and no down ballot votes in the swing states? There were 10’s of thousands in GA where the Senate race was very important and critical to who will control the Senate. They will be critical to passing legislation for Biden’s agenda. Why not vote for the Democrat Senators and Representatives to make sure Biden can get things done? Yet Trump only had 538 ballots in GA that were Trump only. Were the Democrat voters too ignorant to realize that they could be handing control to the Republicans in Congress and thereby stonewalling Biden’s agenda? It’s a fair question to ask since liberals have for the past 4 years called Trump voters stupid.
Whatever else, President Trump was the Man in the Arena. With him gone, the professional conservatives can get back to the hard work of fluffing Joe Biden, admiring his genteel manner, and criticizing around the edges with no risk to the status quo or to their bottom line.

🇮🇱 🇧🇭 Israel-Bahrain peace deal.
🇷🇸 🇽🇰 Serbia-Kosovo economic normalization.
🇮🇱 🇸🇩 Israel and Sudan make peace and normalize relations.
Today, 🇮🇱🇲🇦Israel and Morocco normalize ties.

Trump said Israel and Morocco would restore diplomatic and other relations, including the immediate reopening of liaison offices in Rabat and Tel Aviv and the eventual opening of embassies. U.S. officials said it would also include joint overflight rights for airlines.
The White House said Trump and Morocco’s King Mohammed VI had agreed in a conversation that Morocco would “resume diplomatic relations between Morocco and Israel and expand economic and cultural cooperation to advance regional stability.”
The U.S. will also recognize the country’s claim over Western Sahara, the former Spanish North African territory that has been a long-running dispute that has confounded international negotiators for decades, the White House said in a statement.

Media Laughing at This Trump Tweet Discover Irony Is a Harsh Mistress

Kennedy, is holding a special exhibition to mark the 50th anniversary of RFK's assassination on June 6, 1968. (AP Photo)
The battle for the White House is still going hammer-and-tongs even though we are less than a week from the Electoral College meeting. Because of the slipshod and illegal way several states ran their elections, we will never know with finality who actually won the vote no matter what the Electoral College decides. Despite facing an uphill battle, President Trump is fighting the fight with the focus and energy that we would expect of anyone except a Republican politician. Just a short while ago, he set this tweet.
Of course, our fearless firefighters were on the job
Yes, Kennedy did win in 1960. But how did he do this? While we will never know with mathematical certainty, there is a lot of circumstantial evidence that he won by using Richard Daly’s Chicago machine, perhaps working with the mafia family of Sam Giancana, to produce enough votes for him to win Illinois by just over 8,000 votes. By “produce,” I don’t mean get vans to and busses to drive the old folks to the polls. I mean straight up manufacturing votes where none existed.
Saying that Kennedy won while losing Florida and Ohio, doesn’t make President Trump look bad. It makes his case and it makes you look like a flaming dork.
In 'You're Hired,' the former chief economist of the White House Council of Economic Advisers writes that the Trump administration was more successful and less chaotic than the media would have you believe.
The media is attempting to make Joe Biden out to be some historic leader at every turn, and one of the latest “historic” things he’s doing is appointing nothing but women to the top of his White House press staff.
It’s too bad Trump already did that, but this is going completely ignored by the media.
According to the Washington Post, the Biden administration is putting nothing but women in the top spots of his press staff and, as the Post reports, it is “the first time that all of the top aides tasked with speaking on behalf of an administration and shaping its message will be female.” //

Being a Republican woman doesn’t count for them.
It’s difficult to believe that Washington Post and NPR reporters on the White House beat are unaware of the fact that women lead the Trump communications team.
Under President Trump, as was reported by The Federalist in June, “For the first time in history, half of the senior leaders of the National Security Council are women. Twelve of the 24 directorates are led by women now, including three of the six regional directorates that cover the world.” They include Dr. Deborah Birx, Allison Hooker, Elizabeth Erin Walsh, Sue Bai, and Julia Nesheiwat, all women.

@RLHeinrichs
I don’t think the male/female ratio thing is a measure of competency. But for those keeping score- For the first time in our history, under Trump, our nuclear enterprise was led by two women; and half of the NSC directorates were led by women.
Trump has the Democrats/Media cabal (DMC) on the run…literally. He controls the news cycle. Every Sunday Morning, he decides what the DMC is going to be outraged about for the upcoming week. Then he tweets out that outrageous spark and that starts the news cycle for the week.
The head of a media watchdog organization says the media’s failure to cover eight stories may be the reason President Donald Trump lost the election.
“The media can talk all day long about Donald Trump and all day long about things that he’s doing wrong,” Brent Bozell, founder and president of the Media Research Center, said on a call Tuesday unveiling a poll the center commissioned, “Special Report: The Stealing of the Presidency, 2020.”
“It is absolutely unequivocal, the evidence that it was the national news movement that deliberately, and I underscore deliberately, made it a point not to tell the public about these stories that nobody can question,” Bozell said. “And now we’re showing the evidence that it cost Donald Trump the election.” //

The eight themes included three negative ones about the Biden-Harris ticket, including Sen. Kamala Harris’ liberal viewpoints and the sexual assault allegation former Vice President Joe Biden faced, and five positive stories about the Trump administration, including 33.1% economic growth and the Middle East peace deals.
In whole, the survey found that 17% of people who cast their ballot for Biden “would have changed their vote if they had been aware of one or more of these important stories,” according to Noyes. //

It is my Great Honor to announce that General Michael T. Flynn has been granted a Full Pardon. Congratulations to @GenFlynn and his wonderful family, I know you will now have a truly fantastic Thanksgiving! //
This puts a final end to a four-year persecution of a man who has devoted his life to the service of his nation and whose innovations in the use of intelligence operational planning saved untold U.S. lives in Iraq, Afghanistan, and elsewhere.
Flynn was targeted by the FBI for an sketchy interview that has since been documented as a ruse to create a lie to catch him in. The persecution was picked up by the noxious thugs on Mueller’s team that used the threat of indicting Flynn’s son as a pressure point to force him into a guilty plea. When the truth started to be revealed, thanks to the efforts of Sidney Powell, a highly partisan judge, Emmitt Sullivan, took up the prosecution of Flynn as a personal hobby after Department of Justice dropped the charges against him.
The country continues to balance on a knife’s edge as we await the outcome of the presidential election (and a few down-ballot races, too). What the Democrat-media complex would have us believe is that the absentee candidate Joe Biden received more votes for president than anyone in American history, including millions more than either Hussein Obama (twice) and Hillary Clinton. And Biden supposedly also turned American political history on its head by defeating an incumbent president while his Democrat Party lost seats in the US House of Representatives (not to mention other down-ballot disasters for Democrats in state and local elections).
The current Democrat-media narrative avoids any discussion of those anomalies, as well as that of “The Great Pause” for 3-4 hours on Election Day night when Biden supposedly made up deficits of hundreds of thousands votes in key swing states while most Americans went to bed believing that President Trump had been easily reelected. Their narrative is that “the election is over, Biden has been ‘declared’ the winner, and President Trump must concede and initiate an orderly transition to the inevitable Biden-Harris regime.”
Or, the alternate view is that the Democrats stole the election through massive and blatant voter fraud using every trick in the book: ballot harvesting, fraudulent/machine-printed and stamped mail-in ballots, tossing ballots marked for President Trump, automated vote-switching by Democrat-controlled ballot marking devices in wide use in swing states, etc. That view has been fortified by hundreds of personal affidavits detailing observed instances of voter fraud, statistical data analysis of “The Great Pause” that exposed the virtual impossibility of Biden’s late-night vote gains (for example, in Pennsylvania as reported here), much reporting about potential fraud through use of Dominion Voting systems in key states, and even complete denials of voter fraud by the Democrat-media complex despite significant circumstantial evidence that continues to be made public (possibly
Biden voters were asked if they were aware of issues like Kamala Harris’s liberal voting record, Trump Middle East peace deals, Hunter Biden’s scandals and more. //
A new report from the Media Research Center shows that the media’s lack of coverage and big tech’s suppression of certain issues and scandals surrounding Democratic Presidential Nominee Joe Biden could have cost President Donald Trump the election.
The survey results report that 17 percent of Biden voters would not have voted for the Biden-Harris presidential ticket if they had known about at least one of the eight news stories that were suppressed by big tech and mainstream media outlets. //
Some of these topics include former Biden staffer Tara Reade and her sexual assault allegations against Biden, the Hunter Biden scandal, VP Nominee Kamala Harris’s extreme liberal voting record in the Senate, the U.S.’s economic jump in the third quarter, millions of jobs added, America’s energy independence, Operation Warp Speed successes, and Trump’s facilitation of multiple peace deals in the Middle East. //
nearly half of all Biden voters polled, 49 percent, said they were unaware of the U.S.’s remarkable economic recovery in the third quarter, doubling the previous record.
One in six Biden voters polled, 17 percent, said they would have changed their vote had they been aware of these stories. The report also found that without even voting for Trump and simply refusing to vote for Biden, “these voters would have handed all six of these states, and a second term, to the president if the news media had properly informed them about the two candidates.”
Over the last four years, Trump has broken through wall after wall of impossibility according to the left. First, the Dow broke 20,000, then 25,000. //
As SARS-CoV-2 spread across the globe and the American economy took a dive, the left practically had a collective orgasm as a result of the tumble of the market. When the market dipped below 19,000 in March 2020, they all crowed about how it was Trump’s economic policies that put us there. There were predictions that the economy would take years to recover to the point it was before the virus and placed the blame at the feet of Trump.
Now here we are, celebrating the DJIA breaking 30,000, again a feat we were told was not possible. Remember, in March when the Dow fell from 29,551 to 18,591 erasing all of Trump’s stock market gains since 2017, the left was convinced that they had proven Trump’s economy to be a myth. Not only did the stock market recover, but it also recovered in just 8 months. That wasn’t Joe Biden. That wasn’t the Democrats. That was President Trump’s doing. For comparison, it took Obama over 4 years to recover 7,000 points in loss from 2008, or roughly 50% of the market.
Trump made it clear he authorized her to cut the monies so there could be no doubt that nothing was hurt during a transition, so there would be no harm to the country by any delay, although he intended to continue his battle in the courts over the election.
That says a tremendous amount about the man and the way both sides have reacted also is very revealing.
Trump really didn’t have to authorize it until the Electoral College decided but he put America first to ensure the best for the country. It’s also clear he wants to protect his employees and remove them from the eye of the storm.
Democrats threatened a woman and her family to demand they be given power as soon as possible, even before officially declared by law.
So wait, tell me again, who is it that is breaking norms here? Who is it that is putting the country in danger?
Hint: it isn’t Trump.
