Joe Biden wrapped: How Delaware’s favorite son fared during his final year in office

By Reagan Reese | Daily Caller President Joe Biden had an eventful last year in office, from losing track of his Defense Secretary to breaking one last promise and pardoning his son, all while dropping out of the presidential race and saying his final goodbye to the Oval Office. Biden’s approval rating hit an all-time low, falling to 34% just two weeks before the end of the year. Biden battled low approval ratings before dropping out of the presidential race, but still managed to fight off a special counsel report, make it to the first debate, and overshadow Vice President Kamala Harris’s closing arguments before her loss. Biden’s 2024 began with Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin going MIA as he and the Pentagon forgot to notify the White House about his hospitalization for several d...

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 ...

Hanukkah starts on Christmas this year, a relatively rare confluence of religious holidays

By Debbie Kelley | The Gazette The glow from Christmas tree bulbs will shine with the brightness of menorah candles on Wednesday. For the first time in 19 years, two important religious holidays coincide on Dec. 25: Christmas, which always falls on that day to mark the birth of the Christian savior Jesus Christ, and the sundown start of Hanukkah, the eight-day Jewish Festival of Lights, in which light overcomes darkness with the rededication of Jerusalem’s liberated temple in the second century. The holidays don't often align like stars in the sky; the last time Hanukkah began on Christmas was in 2005. To most Jews, there’s no significance to the Hebrew and Gregorian calendars intersecting, according to Jeff Ader, president of Temple Beit Torah, a reform synagogue in Colorado Spri...

3 million ‘temporary’ migrants will now sway congressional seats thanks to Census Bureau change

By Beth Brelje | The Federalist The U.S. Census Bureau will now count refugees and border releases in its population estimates, a move that will affect congressional apportionment and demographic data. In a blog post Thursday announcing the change, the bureau noted, “a net of 2.8 million people migrated to the United States between 2023 and 2024. This is significantly higher than our previous estimates.” The data offers a glimpse of how congressional apportionment maps could change by 2030. It also shows how, as U.S. citizens flee states with garbage leftist policies, the inclusion of noncitizens in census data allows those states to keep congressional seats because their population is propped up by illegal aliens. Every 10 years, shortly after the census, the congressional a...

U.S. Sen. Rand Paul’s ‘festivus’ report highlights more than $1 trillion in federal waste

By Hannah Knudsen | Breitbart The federal government wasted millions of taxpayer dollars on a number of absurd and bizarre projects, including securing the Paraguayan border, studies on lonely rats and their relationship to cocaine, and “various magical projects.” Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) on Monday released his annual Festivus report chock-full of grievances after another year of incredibly wasteful spending. This year, he is highlighting over $1 trillion in government waste. “Who’s to blame for our crushing national debt? Everybody. This year, members of both political parties in Congress voted for massive spending bills, filled with subsidies for underperforming industries, continued military aid to Ukraine, and controversial climate initiatives,” Paul wrote in the report.

Man accused of burning woman to death on NYC subway is previously deported illegal alien

By Jennie Taer, Joe Marino and Jorge Fitz-Gibbon | The New York Post The illegal Guatemalan migrant accused of setting a straphanger on fire and gawking as she burned to death was once deported — but sneaked back into the US and the Big Apple shelter system, sources told The Post.  The accused firebug, who has not yet been charged, first entered the US illegally at the Arizona border in 2018, but was nabbed just days later and shipped back home.  He later crossed the border again, dodging federal agents and finding his way north to the five boroughs — although it is unclear how long he was in the city before the horrific F train attack Sunday, the sources said.  READ THE FULL STORY AT THE NEW YORK POST

Home goods chain store files for bankruptcy and sparks fears of mass closures

By Tilly Armstrong | Daily Mail The struggling home goods chain, The Container Store, which has been around for 46 years, filed for Chapter 11 protection in Texas late on Sunday.  The store is known for its home organizational goods, including closet organizers and storage bins. Despite receiving a boost from Marie Kondo's hit Netflix show 'Tidying Up' during the Covid-19 pandemic, the chain has been weighed down by mounting losses in recent years.  The company had $229.8 million in long-term debt as of the quarter ended September 28. CEO Satish Malhotra, a former Sephora executive who took over the top spot at the chain in 2021, said he is confident The Container Store is 'here to stay' despite the filing, Yahoo! Finance reported. READ...

How Venezuela’s TdA gang used tactics seen in Aurora to seize a building in San Antonio, Texas

By Nicole C. Brambila | Denver Gazette The Venezuelan gang that infiltrated and terrorized tenants at three apartment complexes in Aurora used similar tactics to seize control of a San Antonio apartment complex, highlighting the increasingly disparate strategies employed by police in these cities. In both instances, Tren de Aragua (TdA) appeared to have gained a foothold in buildings largely occupied by Venezuelan nationals who arrived in both cities after illegally crossing the southern border. Law enforcement in San Antonio responded to the gang’s presence with handcuffs, while Aurora police countered with eviction notices. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE GAZETTE
