This is beautiful. I'd never seen this.

Miley got to perform with her godmother Dolly Parton many times and this will always be such a special moment where Miley got emotional performing “I Will Always Love You” along with her at New Year’s eve 🥺

I am furious and sickened by what I just learned. Hunter Rivera must be immediately removed as Weld County GOP Chair and stripped of every single title and responsibility he holds, no exceptions, no delays. There is zero excuse, zero justification, and absolute zero tolerance for this despicable, vile behavior.

[DC Sheriff @dcsheriff]

Douglas County @SheriffWeekly condemned Governor Jared Polis’ decision to grant clemency to a convicted felon who attempted to murder two Douglas County Sheriff’s Deputies. Brandin Kreuzer has served just 15 years of his 45-year sentence.

The case stems from a violent, month-long crime spree in 2008 orchestrated by Brandin Kreuzer and Taylor Moudy. The coordinated crime wave, which terrorized communities across Douglas County and Castle Rock, culminated in a high-speed pursuit where deputies were ambushed with high-powered rifle fire, resulting in the wounding of Deputy Todd Tucker.

Sheriff Weekly, who personally worked as an investigations commander on the original case, released the following statement:

"I have spoken with both deputies involved, and they are absolutely furious, as am I. The audacity of Governor Polis to grant clemency to a would-be cop killer on National Peace Officer Memorial Day shows a complete lack of respect for the brave men and women who wear the badge and put their lives on the line every day. I personally worked on this case and remember what it took to track these two suspects down. I will have more to say in the coming days."

This is a GLORIOUS day. Now she just needs to be held accountable for treason.

@mattvanswol @canandlou1969 The left always uses children.. Just like Mao (former Communist Dictator of China),
did during the Cultural Revolution..

[Matt Van Swol @mattvanswol]

Just so we are ALL CLEAR on what happened today...

Educators and school administrators single-handedly CANCELLED SCHOOL for 700,000 North Carolina students...

...INCLUDING MY SON!!!

To wave signs around in the street instead.

The signs vary from:

a) F**K ICE!!!
b) Defeat Trump's Agenda
c) Trump is a N*ZI
d) ICE OUT!!!
e) Protect trans kids
f) Refuse fascism
g) Stop bombing schools

DO NOT TELL ME THIS WAS ABOUT KIDS.

IT NEVER WAS.

This was ADULTS using 700,000 children, INCLUDING MINE, as political leverage against a president they don't like.

That is despicable.

You know better... DO BETTER.

Spirit Airlines died tonight at the hands of the socialist crusader, Elizabeth Warren

She must be so proud to add another casket to her achievements.

Tonight at 3am, Spirit turns off the lights. 14,000 jobs gone. 30+ smaller airports lose service.

JetBlue offered $3.8 BILLION in cash to buy Spirit in 2022. Shareholders, flight attendants union, literally everyone voted yes.

The combined company would have held 9% of the US market against a Big 4 that already owned 80%.

For anyone who understands numbers: 9% isn’t a monopoly against 80%.

Warren said no.

She wrote letters. She pressured Buttigieg. Biden’s DOJ sued. A federal judge killed the deal in January 2024.

Her argument: the merger would cost consumers $1 billion a year.

Now look at her collateral damage she dusts under the rug.

510 pilots gone in the months after. 1,800 flight attendants furloughed in December.

14,000 jobs in 2023. 7,500 last week. Zero tonight.

And that’s just the people in Spirit uniforms.

Catering goes. Fuel guys go. Baggage crews, gate agents, airport coffee shops, hotels and rental cars in 70 cities Spirit flew to. Every airline job carries 3 more on its back.

40,000 people out of work because of one woman’s moronic crusade against the market.

And the math ain’t mathing.

Spirit abandoned 90 routes during the death spiral. Fares on those routes are up 14% on average. Oakland to Newark: $135 to $288. Fort Myers to San Juan: $92 to $219. Kansas City to Newark up 66%.

That’s reality. Not some BS number from a “study.”

So @SenWarren tell me how this saves the consumer money?

Cheap carriers in a market drop fares 21% across the board. Southwest did this in the 90s and saved Americans $68 BILLION over 20 years.

Warren killed it. That’s what moronic politicians led by socialism do.

Then with her own blind arrogance, she tweeted Spirit’s collapse is “a Biden win for flyers.”

A win.

14,000 people are reading termination letters tonight.

And she’s taking credit.

This is socialism in 2026.

A senator who’s never made payroll thinks she knows how to run a market better than the people who own and work in the company.

She saved you a billion on imaginary paper.

She cost you ten times that in real life.

She didn’t protect consumers from anything.

14,000+ will go from working to welfare.

She will make sure to blame billionaires, hardworking tax payers, AI, capitalism and whatever monster they will make up tomorrow hiding under your bed.

Higher taxes. Fewer jobs. More expensive everything.

She called it a win. I hope you enjoy winning.

🚨 BREAKING: The State of Indiana will be CANCELING ALL commercial driver licenses for illegals at midnight TONIGHT, per the Lt. Governor

FINALLY!

EVERY SINGLE state should follow Indiana’s lead immediately.

[Libs of TikTok @libsoftiktok]

HOLY SHIT. Four Colorado Democrats have introduced a bill that would allow children to change their name, suppress records documenting a name change, and allow the court to strip away parents’ rights if they do not “affirm” their child's name change.

Democrats want to tear children away from parents who don't conform to radical gender ideology.

This is deranged

[Ben Sasse @BenSasse]

Friends-

This is a tough note to write, but since a bunch of you have started to suspect something, I’ll cut to the chase: Last week I was diagnosed with metastasized, stage-four pancreatic cancer, and am gonna die.

Advanced pancreatic is nasty stuff; it’s a death sentence. But I already had a death sentence before last week too — we all do.

I’m blessed with amazing siblings and half-a-dozen buddies that are genuinely brothers. As one of them put it, “Sure, you’re on the clock, but we’re all on the clock.” Death is a wicked thief, and the bastard pursues us all.

Still, I’ve got less time than I’d prefer. This is hard for someone wired to work and build, but harder still as a husband and a dad. I can’t begin to describe how great my people are. During the past year, as we’d temporarily stepped back from public life and built new family rhythms, Melissa and I have grown even closer — and that on top of three decades of the best friend a man could ever have. Seven months ago, Corrie was commissioned into the Air Force and she’s off at instrument and multi-engine rounds of flight school. Last week, Alex kicked butt graduating from college a semester early even while teaching gen chem, organic, and physics (she’s a freak). This summer, 14-year-old Breck started learning to drive. (Okay, we’ve been driving off-book for six years — but now we’ve got paper to make it street-legal.) I couldn’t be more grateful to constantly get to bear-hug this motley crew of sinners and saints.

There’s not a good time to tell your peeps you’re now marching to the beat of a faster drummer — but the season of advent isn’t the worst. As a Christian, the weeks running up to Christmas are a time to orient our hearts toward the hope of what’s to come.

Not an abstract hope in fanciful human goodness; not hope in vague hallmark-sappy spirituality; not a bootstrapped hope in our own strength (what foolishness is the evaporating-muscle I once prided myself in). Nope — often we lazily say “hope” when what we mean is “optimism.” To be clear, optimism is great, and it’s absolutely necessary, but it’s insufficient. It’s not the kinda thing that holds up when you tell your daughters you’re not going to walk them down the aisle. Nor telling your mom and pops they’re gonna bury their son.

A well-lived life demands more reality — stiffer stuff. That’s why, during advent, even while still walking in darkness, we shout our hope — often properly with a gravelly voice soldiering through tears.

Such is the calling of the pilgrim. Those who know ourselves to need a Physician should dang well look forward to enduring beauty and eventual fulfillment. That is, we hope in a real Deliverer — a rescuing God, born at a real time, in a real place. But the eternal city — with foundations and without cancer — is not yet.

Remembering Isaiah’s prophecies of what’s to come doesn’t dull the pain of current sufferings. But it does put it in eternity’s perspective:
“When we've been there 10,000 years…We've no less days to sing God's praise.”

I’ll have more to say. I’m not going down without a fight. One sub-part of God’s grace is found in the jawdropping advances science has made the past few years in immunotherapy and more. Death and dying aren’t the same — the process of dying is still something to be lived. We’re zealously embracing a lot of gallows humor in our house, and I’ve pledged to do my part to run through the irreverent tape.

But for now, as our family faces the reality of treatments, but more importantly as we celebrate Christmas, we wish you peace: “The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of deep darkness a light has dawned….For to us a son is given” (Isaiah 9).

With great gratitude, and with gravelly-but-hopeful voices,
Ben — and the Sasses

[Erik @e_cdalton]

As a lifelong Democrat, I didn’t know what to make of Charlie Kirk. I’ve since spent several lunch breaks watching his debates (FULL videos) and have come away with the impression that we got him all wrong. The reaction from those on my side of the aisle have really made me rethink whether we’re on the right side of history.

Well, I’m crossing the aisle—I just registered as a Republican.

Anyone else?

If the legendary Pat Boone smacks you, you know you're wrong!

Pat just knocked one out of the park against Jimmy Kimmel.

“Jimmy….you’re still perfectly free to say anything you want, anywhere you choose, but freedom isn’t free as you’re finding out…there is a responsibility with it and consequence from its’ misuse and that’s why it’s so precious.”

“So shout, shout on! Speak your views publicly in the streets without fear, but don’t expect to be paid millions when you bite the hand that feeds you.”

Said with so much class!

The older entertainers know what's up! Johnny Carson never got political and had a great run entertaining us for years!

[George Brauchler @GeorgeBrauchler]

Class act.
