[Guardian] Ahhhhhh, Christmas. A time for families to come together and create treasured moments of ... whatever it is that most people mistakenly think the Yuletide season is about. The truth is that you’ve got a week off work and all you want to do is watch Netflix in your pants while drinking Baileys at 9.40am.
This cast-iron plan will invariably be shattered by friends and family members turning up unannounced and trying to impose their jollity on you, so here are 10 ways to overcome them with consummate ease.
[Breitbart] NEW YORK ‐ Legendary standup comic Jackie Mason weighed in on the debate about the possibility of defunding the United Nations, calling U.S. financing to the international body "so sick that we do this it is unbelievable."
"It is like if somebody tells you I hate you. I can’t stand you. I would like you to drop dead by Thursday. And we say to them how much money do you need? How much does it cost us for you to say this?" he exclaimed.
Mason was speaking Sunday night during his regular segment on this reporter’s talk radio program, Aaron Klein Investigative Radio, broadcast on New York’s AM 970 The Answer and NewsTalk 990 AM.
He continued:
We pay for everything that they need. If they have a flood or any kind of a disaster, a hurricane in any of these countries, we are the ones that come to help them and pay for everything for them. And we protect them in every way. We have what is called foreign aid. Well, foreign aid means even if somebody catches a cold somewhere we send them a few dollars. There is nothing we don’t pay for in those countries. And the truth of the matter is we should have nothing to do with them.
On Thursday, U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Nikki Haley indicated the U.S. could withhold funds from the U.S. in response to the passage of an anti-Israel resolution at the U.N. General Assembly clearly intended to rescind President Donald Trump’s historic decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.

Everybody is tired of the Palestinian Playbook (TM). Maybe the EUnochs will bankroll them and bring them all to Germany. What say you, Komrade Merkel?
BTW, Happy Kwanzaa, Commodore Frank!

In the 80s when Iraq and Iran were beating the crap out of each other and the other arabs states couldn't take on Israel militarily as they got their asses handed to them twice... the Paleos were useful to stir up trouble and kill westerners and Israelis.
Now, with a newly enriched Iran (thanks Obumble) becoming a regional power the arabs are terrified of them gaining control over their lands and are working with Israel and the west to keep that from happening. The Paleos are not only an annoyance but a downright liability for them now.
[ARABNEWS] The year 2017 will be remembered as the one in which the so-called "grinding of the peace processor," at least in its American formulation, ended. And with its demise, the political framework that has been the foundation for US foreign policy in the Middle East has also collapsed.
The Paleostinian leadership and their Arab and international allies will now embark on a new year with the difficult task of drumming up a whole new political formula that does not include the US.
The Paleostinian Authority entered 2017 with the slight hope that the US was in the process of moving away, however slightly, from its hard-line pro-Israel attitude. This hope was the result of a decision made by the Barack B.O. regime in December 2016 not to veto UN Security Council Resolution 2334, which declared the status of illegal Israeli settlements in the Occupied Territories null and void.

Paleo negotiators have s. for brains. The Trump/Netanyahu strategy is to make it abundantly clear that time is not the Paleo's friend. Stalling will only play into Israel's hands.
The rest of world enjoyed thumbing their collective noses at the US over Palestine as long as there were no consequences. The Trump administration will now alter that dynamic as well. Let us see how they like dealing with China instead.

[SultanKnish] "Foremost," the NASA administrator described his marching orders from Obama, "he wanted me to find a way to reach out to the Muslim world." The great new mission of America's space agency would be to make Muslims "feel good about their historic contribution to science."
President Trump has another mission for NASA.
Looking over at former Senator Schmitt, the last living man to walk on the moon in the Apollo 17 mission forty-five years ago, President Trump said, "Today, we pledge that he will not be the last."
"This time, we will not only plant our flag and leave our footprint, we will establish a foundation for an eventual mission to Mars and, perhaps, someday to many worlds beyond."
The message was clear. American greatness would no longer be held hostage to political correctness.
[ARABNEWS] Supporters of the Iran regime argued that the 2017 re-election of Hassan Rouhani as president, the continuation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, known commonly as the Iran nuclear deal, the continuing relaxation of sanctions, and increased trade and political rapprochement with the Islamic Theocratic Republic, would all make Tehran a more constructive and rational regional actor in 2017.
This argument centers on the notion that appeasement of Tehran would empower and embolden Iran’s "moderate" forces. However, if you can't say something nice about a person some juicy gossip will go well... concrete evidence and last year’s history of the regime reveals a different story. Let us divide Iran’s actions, behavior and policies in 2017 into three main categories ‐ domestic, regional and international.

....Jeebus, if I hear the word 'moderate' applied to an Iranian politician again, I'm gonna plotz. In Iran, a 'moderate' is someone who wants to kill the infidels more slowly.

...Now, as your late family gathers together, all dead because of Trump’s authoritarian reign of terror, try to remember that in the spirit of the season, you should mock your liberal friends and family unmercifully. It’s a painful time for them. The economy is booming, ISIS has been beheaded, and Mueller hasn’t found Schiff. That’s why it’s so, so very important to kick them when they are down. Because Christmas is a time where we celebrate giving, so give them grief. Because it’s the only way they’ll ever learn.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
