[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] As upcoming legislative and presidential elections in Libya are slated for next year, supporters of the former regime see a new opportunity for a comeback with Qadaffy’s son Saif al-Islam as president.
In preparation, various Libyan tribes loyal to the former regime inside the country and the displaced supporters of Qadaffy from outside the country are holding intensive meetings to plan the upcoming legislative and presidential elections and discuss the names of candidates for the parliament and the presidency.
"There are daily meetings between the tribal elders to agree on a final list for their candidacy in the legislative elections," said Ashraf Abdel Fattah, a member of the Supreme Council of the Libyan Tribes.

[ConservativeTreehouse] In plain language the "Trump Project" was a joint 2016 FBI & DOJ counterintelligence operation to conduct wiretaps and surveillance upon the presidential campaign of Donald Trump. Operatives within the FBI and DOJ who were politically aligned with the Hillary Clinton campaign, weaponized the DOJ and FBI to undermine her political opposition.
Those who have been walking the deep weeds have a pretty strong understanding of Deputy FBI Director Andrew "Andy" McCabe’s risk profile and his role in the 2016 "Trump Project". The Rosen report earlier today -based on investigators within the House Intelligence Committee- states McCabe has lost his memory around the timeline for the FBI’s FISA application and the Christoper Steele Russian Dossier as evidence therein.
...
It is increasingly clear the entire purpose of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s probe was not to investigate some nefarious and innocuous Russian election interference; but rather with a Trump victory the same people who weaponized the FBI and DOJ to conduct the "Trump Project" needed to generate a shield or firewall to protect them from sunlight. The Mueller probe is that shield.
Those who are seeking answers to the most critical questions are now running into the officials within the scheme using the Mueller probe as a defensive shield so they do not have to answer questions. This is the primary purpose of the Mueller probe:
...
Secondly, the same FBI and DOJ officials, along with career FBI and DOJ lawyers and administrators, who are at risk from exposure within the plot, do not want to answer questions in public hearings. They are using closed sessions under the auspices of everything therein being "classified". This venue and manner of testimony blocks congressional representatives from talking about the content publicly.
Everything is being structured to avoid public scrutiny. In essence these career co-conspirators are using the familiar DC system to protect themselves from ramifications of their plot reaching the public.
Having said that, it certainly appears we have one person on the side of justice who predicted this was going to happen. By all external appearances DOJ Office of Inspector General Michael Horowitz has moved proactively to set up as much transparency as possible upon his years-long investigation into the politicization of the FBI and DOJ.

[Jpost] US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley glared at her colleagues at the UN Security Council Monday as she cast the lone nay vote against a draft resolution presented by Egypt to nullify US President Donald Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
Haley then berated her UN colleagues for their assault against US sovereignty and for their prolonged efforts to delegitimize Israel and blame the Jewish state for the absence of peace. In her words, "The United States refuses to accept the double standard that says we are not impartial when we stand by the will of the American people by moving our US embassy, but somehow the United Nations is a neutral party when it consistently singles out Israel for condemnation."
The liberal media, led by The New York Times chastised her.
"Punctuating America’s increasing international isolation, the United Nations Security Council demanded on Monday that the Trump administration rescind its decisions to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and to put the United States Embassy there," the Times wrote in a purported news article.
While attacking Trump and Haley for isolating the US, the Times and its colleagues failed to explain what an international community-aligned US foreign policy looks like.
Notably, just such a policy and its consequences were the subject of a 15,000-word investigative report published Monday morning by Politico.
"The secret backstory of how Obama let Hezbollah off the hook," by Josh Meyer, detailed how in the interest of advancing a policy supported by the international community, then president Barack Obama imperiled US public health, national security and its allies.
[FOX Insider] It’s time for a special Christmas edition of Final Thoughts. It may be winter, but it’s still melting season...snowflake melting season, that is.
Uh oh, have I already offended you?
In Britain for example, a new survey by insurance firm Aviva found that 72 percent of 16 to 24-year-olds there believe the term "snowflake" is unfairly applied to millennials. 74 percent of respondents took it a step farther, arguing that they believe the use of the label could have a negative effect on young people’s mental health.
And that my friends, is special snowflake syndrome at its finest.
So what is a snowflake? Well, allow me to explain.

It just isn't millennials, the one thing that tipped me over the edge and had me resign my position was an official reprimand from my Program Manger VP for saying "Christmas Party" in an email to the business manager asking for what the budget for the "Christmas Party" was.
A lot of companies have gone completely over the edge on diversity policy.
[Newsbusters] On CNN's New Day Sunday, the show devoted a four-minute segment to the new children's book, Santa's Husband, which portrays Santa Claus as a gay man who gets married to another man. The segment included as guests the author, Daniel Kibblesmith, and illustrator Ashley Quach, with Kibblesmith recalling that he was partially inspired to write the book because of the complaints that are made each year about a "war on Christmas."
At 6:12 a.m. ET, CNN co-anchor Christi Paul plugged the interview: "There's a new children's book out this Christmas -- takes us inside Santa's wedding. We meet Santa's husband David. We're going to talk to the author and illustrator ahead."

The author was not very imaginative. He could have made Santa and his partner drug addicted, black, "jolly" men who were unsatisfied with their male genders. They decided to have gender reassignment operations and were undergoing the process but Christmas stressed them out and resulted in a great deal of dysfunction in the relationship. This led to a break-up of the marriage and they ended up on the street, homeless and plying their trade in the oldest profession. (It wasn't bell-ringing for the Salvation Army and saying ho, ho, ho.) Both decided to go to therapy to work out their problems which went on for years. The climate-change believing children of earth were very disappointed for years until Santa and her partner were re-united and doing the work of Santa again. CNN would was very, very happy with this story.
