Every time you think the Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor story must have finished, there is another twist. The latest batch of documents from the Epstein files includes emails that could further damage his reputation. Or perhaps his reputation is already at rock bottom and this will only reinforce existing negative impressions. Public opinion might be divided too, in reaction to this drip-drip of pictures and emails. There might be some who have had enough of all these seedy headlines and do not want any more Andrew all over their Christmas dinner. They have already formed an opinion and this will only provide...

How has the Postal Service escaped the eye of Trump for reform?

When describing U.S. President Donald Trump’s governing style, and particularly his relationships with other countries, two words tend to come up frequently: “mercurial” and “transactional.” The latter suits several U.S. allies, partners, and even adversaries just fine, while the former has buffeted even some of Washington’s closest and most enduring partnerships over the past year. In examining which countries have benefited the most and least from the second Trump administration, we intentionally excluded the parties to the two biggest conflicts that it is trying to mediate—one between Israel and Hamas, the other between Russia and Ukraine. Both of those conflicts...

The U.S. is on pace for the largest one-year drop in murders the nation has ever recorded, according to an analysis by crime stats expert Jeff Asher. The big picture: The decline in killings is part of a broader decrease in violent crime following the COVID-era spike. Mass killings in the U.S. also fell in 2025, reaching their lowest level since 2006. The Real-Time Crime Index, which compiles data from 570 law enforcement agencies, shows a nearly a 20% decline in murders this year compared with the same period in 2024. The database, which Asher used in his analysis, does...

A federal judge gave a green light Tuesday to New York's so-called Green Light Law, rejecting the Trump administration's bid to stop the state from giving people driver's licenses without having them prove they are in the country legally. U.S. District Judge Anne M. Nardacci in Albany ruled that the Republican administration — which challenged the law under President Donald Trump's crackdown on illegal immigration — had failed to support its claims that the state law usurps federal law or that it unlawfully regulates or unlawfully discriminates against the federal government. The Justice Department sued the state over the law...

Former President Donald Trump declared there has “never been a more dangerous time since the Holocaust” to be Jewish in the US on Saturday night. The Republican presidential candidate made the remarks at a campaign rally event in Wilkes-Barre Pennsylvania, where he claimed Vice President Kamala Harris decided against choosing Penn. Gov. Josh Shapiro as her running mate because he is Jewish. “They turned him down because he’s Jewish,” Trump told a packed house at the Mohegan Sun Arena. “They turned him down for other reasons, but the primary reason is because he’s Jewish,” the ex-president continued, adding that “any...

Russia’s Special Presidential Envoy commented on Donald Trump's opinion that the NYT newspaper poses a serious threat to national security and that its dissemination of false information should be stoppedMOSCOW, December 23. /TASS/. The globalist fake media machine, and not just The New York Times (NYT), has attacked US President Donald Trump, his peace efforts, and Russia, Kirill Dmitriev, Russia’s Special Presidential Envoy and head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund has said. "It's not just the NYT. It's a globalist, well-funded, organized, and synchronized US/UK/EU deep-state-aligned fake media machine - targeting traditional values, common sense, economic prosperity - and...

The Babylon Bee has obtained an exclusive schematic of this formidable new war machine: Additional features not pictured will include: 19" solid gold cannons: Way better than the Yamato's puny 18.1" cannons.

"You're heading into 2026 with one of the biggest banks on Wall Street telling you the economy can ran stronger than most people expect. Bank of America's Global Research team used its December 2025 outlook to stake out a clearly bullish position on next year's growth, especially in the US." Average inflation over the last 20 years: 2.52% Inflation today: 2.7% Not the end of the world.

TRUMP'S MOST IMPORTANT ACHIEVEMENT. Experts estimate that during the Biden administration, around 9 million migrants crossed illegally into the United States and remained in the country. As illegal border crossers, they are what immigration officials call "removable," that is, subject to expulsion from the country on the grounds that they entered without authorization. The wild influx during the Biden years strained communities nationwide, burdened government budgets, caused social disruption, led to an alarming number of violent crimes, and, in general, made a mockery of U.S. immigration law. Plus, the situation is difficult to reverse; it would be exceedingly difficult, if...

Denmark said Monday it will summon the US ambassador after President Donald Trump announced he had appointed a special envoy to Greenland, the Danish autonomous territory he has threatened to annex. In response, European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen and European Council President Antonio Costa said they stood "in full solidarity with Denmark and the people of Greenland". Denmark said Monday it would summon the US ambassador after President Donald Trump appointed a special envoy to Greenland who immediately vowed to make the Danish autonomous territory "a part of the US". Since returning to the White House in January,...

We've seen some interesting polling numbers over the past week. First, there was the congressional Democrats polling at their lowest number ever in a Quinnipiac poll, at 18 percent approval. As a CNN data nerd termed it, that's "lower than the Dead Sea." Then they made things worse by deciding to scuttle the DNC autopsy report they had been working on as to why they lost in 2024, making it clear they wanted to keep their heads in the sand. Now, the approval numbers have jumped up again for President Donald Trump, according to a new InsiderAdvantage poll.The poll of...

It's not often life gives nations real second chances when it comes to the big things, but in America’s case it did. My only hope is that we don’t squander it… or to be more precise, I hope Donald Trump doesn’t squander it. The 2026 midterms are less than a year away, that makes what he does in the next six to eight months monumentally important. The bottom line is, does he want to be consequential or just well known? Julius Caesar is easily one of the most well-known men in history, but was he really that consequential? The truth...

VERY well done, passaround worthy.Merry Christmas
