Trump suggests Canadians should ‘draft Wayne Gretzky’ to run for Prime Minister amid Trudeau upheaval

By Dylan Gwinn | Breitbart Should Canadians decide to replace Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, President-Elect Trump has an idea of who can do so. The soon-to-be 47th president of the United States took to social media on Wednesday and suggested that hockey great Wayne Gretzky replace the embattled current prime minister. “I just left Wayne Gretzky, ‘The Great One as he is known in Ice Hockey circles,” Trump wrote. I said, ‘Wayne, why don’t you run for Prime Minister of Canada, soon to be known as the Governor of Canada – You would win easily, you wouldn’t even have to campaign.’ “He had no interest, but I think the people of Canada should start a DRAFT WAYNE GRETZKY Movement. It would be so much fun to watch!” READ THE FULL STORY BREITBART

Trump has Christmas message to ‘Radical Left Lunatics,’ tells inmates Biden granted clemency to ‘GO TO HELL!’

By Alex Nitzberg  | Fox News President-elect Trump dished out a fiery Christmas message on Wednesday in which he wished a "Merry Christmas" to "Radical Left Lunatics," told the 37 prisoners whose death row sentences were recently commuted by President Biden to "GO TO HELL!" and more. "Merry Christmas to the Radical Left Lunatics, who are constantly trying to obstruct our Court System and our Elections, and are always going after the Great Citizens and Patriots of the United States but, in particular, their Political Opponent, ME. They know that their only chance of survival is getting pardons from a man who has absolutely no idea what he is doing," Trump declared on Truth Social. "Also, to the 37 most violent criminals, who killed, raped, and plundered like virtually no ...

Credit card debt reaching ‘crisis point’ for Coloradans this holiday season

By Mekialaya White | CBS Colorado Many Coloradans are busy being Santa's elves, purchasing and furiously wrapping last-minute gifts for their loved ones. However, holiday purchases can rack up quickly, adding to the increasing nationwide card debt problem. "The financial burden on credit cards has reached a crisis point," said Roger Reynolds, CEO of Reynolds Financial Group. "Recent studies have shown that over 40% of American households are using credit cards to help supplement their monthly expenses. About 25% are using them within the last month and 16% of Americans have actually been using credit cards to help pay their bills month in, month out." Credit debts are one of the most expensive loan options out there, according to Reynolds. READ THE FULL STORY AT CBS C...

A Colorado Court Case that Strengthened Due Process Rights

By Michael Rummel | Law Week Colorado In 1959, 14-year-old Bobby Gallegos was convicted of first-degree murder in Colorado. According to the U.S. Supreme Court opinion in Gallegos v. Colorado, the child and another juvenile tricked an elderly man into letting them into his hotel room, where they assaulted him, stole $13 from him and fled.  Less than 2 weeks later, Gallegos was caught by police and admitted to the assault and robbery. Just a few weeks after that, he was convicted in a juvenile court of “assault to injure.”  After his sentencing, the elderly man he assaulted died, which led to Gallegos being tried in state court—for first-degree murder.  READ THE FULL STORY AT LAW WEEK COLORADO

Krannawitter: Of school shootings, why do record numbers of teenagers have a desire to commit mass murder?

By Thomas Krannawitter | tkrannawitter.substack.com Less than a week ago, on Monday, Dec. 16, 2024, a 15-year-old student at Abundant Life Christian School in Madison, Wisc., named Natalie Rupnow, opened fire during study hall. Using what appears to be a 9mm pistol, the girl — who reportedly preferred to be called Samantha — attempted to murder as many people as possible. She succeeded in killing a teacher, a fellow student and herself, while wounding several others, some critically. This Substack is not a news outlet. I will not attempt to provide up-to-the-minute developments in this tragic case — that information is readily available elsewhere. Instead, I want to step back and examine the larger cultural and philosophical framework in which such heinous acts increasingly occur:...

Joondeph: Biden leaving a steaming pile of Syria under Trump’s Christmas tree

By Dr. Brian C. Joondeph | American Thinker President Joe Biden is often unaware of his surroundings or behavior, but he surely knows that Christmas is almost here. Playing Santa Claus, he is handing out gifts — pardons to existing and as-yet-unprosecuted criminals and members of Congress and special gifts to those succeeding him in the White House, particularly President-elect Donald Trump.Concerning Biden’s cognition, we are now learning that the White House was fully aware of his mental decline since before he took office and concealed this information from the public, as reported by the Wall Street Journal.

Garbo: Woman burned alive on NYC subway, the deadly consequences of open borders and sanctuary policies

By C. J. Garbo | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice A woman was burned alive in one of the most horrific acts of violence imaginable — set on fire as she slept in a New York City subway station, dying a slow and agonizing death as her attacker stood by and watched. This is not just a tragic story. It is a searing indictment of the failed policies that enabled this crime to occur in the first place. The suspect, now identified as an illegal immigrant from Guatemala — previously deported but re-entered illegally — should never have been here. Yet, because of weak immigration enforcement, sanctuary city protections and an unsecured border, he was free to roam our streets and commit this unspeakable act. While the media celebrates the use of surveillance technology in his app...

Landrith: The Postal Grinch who stole rural Coloradans’ Christmas

By George Landrith | Commentary, Colorado Politics The role of the United States Postal Service (USPS) is to bind the nation together by delivering to all Americans. It is based in the Constitution and enshrined in statute they must deliver mail and packages together to everyone everywhere six days a week. This not only unites the nation and creates a pathway to knit the 3.7 million square miles of our nation together, but it also provides a strong network for commerce and the delivery of needed goods. Unfortunately, affordable, reliable and efficient Postal Service deliveries to rural America are threatened by several recent USPS actions. Given the fact one in 10 Coloradans live in such areas, residents of the Centennial State are likely to be among those most significantly impacted...
