OPEN THREAD: Because we’re a community here at InstaPundit.
21ST CENTURY HEADLINES: The Biggest Alien Planet Discoveries of 2019. “The year did not disappoint.”
THE I-MAN HAS LEFT THE BUILDING: Radio Legend Don Imus Dead at 79.
BAD REVIEWS FOR BRET STEPHENS’ ANTI-TRUMP STRATEGY: “Isn’t this how they tried to defeat Trump the last time around? Diminish him. Insist that everything about him is small — hands, penis, brain, worldview. Donald Trump can’t possibly be President! Isn’t that less likely to work when Trump actually is President?”
Yeah, he’s actually a pretty successful one. And weird how the NY Times “conservative” columnist is still plotting to get rid of Trump. Come to think of it, the NYT doesn’t have any pro-Trump conservatives. I mean, even the WaPo does better.
Plus: “Talking about a human being as filth or disease… I thought we weren’t doing that anymore. I thought you could get canceled for that. But Donald Trump can take it. He can take everything dished out against him. That’s why these ideas about how to beat him feel like absolutely nothing.”
AL SHARPTON’S CHILDREN STRIKE AGAIN: More anti-Semitic incidents reported in NYC. “A Jewish mother was hit in the head while walking with her son in Brooklyn on Thursday afternoon.”
A TRAILER PARK CALLED CAMELOT: Hunter Biden and pregnant wife spotted in LA amid paternity battle with former stripper.
IT’S AMAZING HOW ARROGANT AND PROVOCATIVE THE VIRGINIA DEMOCRATS ARE, GIVEN A FAIRLY NARROW MAJORITY: Virginia Weighs Deploying National Guard to Enforce New Anti-Gun Laws. Things Could Get Ugly. But they’re rounding up votes for Trump nationwide. They might even flip Virginia back to red.

UPDATE: New Zealand gun confiscation program steps on a rake. “The deadline for the mandatory gun buyback program was Friday. The New Zealand program successfully led to the compensated confiscation of 51,000 of the targeted firearms. But as the left-leaning Guardian newspaper reports, this is out of an estimated 170,000 such guns currently in circulation. And there are still a minimum of 1.2 million legally owned firearms in New Zealand on top of that. This means that many people ignored the demand that they turn in their guns and trust the supposedly benevolent government to protect them from themselves.’
FASTER, PLEASE: Israeli Researchers Are Working To Produce The World’s First ‘Super Wine.’ “Resveratrol is a stilbenoid, the family of molecules with the most beneficial properties among the components in red wine. The research is focused on increasing the level of stilbenes and resveratrol in the wine grapes.”
NEW SOCIALIST “IT GIRL” CONTINUES TO PAY — AND COLLECT — DIVIDENDS: AOC Rails Against Politicians ‘Funded by Billionaires’ After Accepting Cash From Tom Steyer.
RIP: Don Imus, Legendary Imus in the Morning Host, Dies at 79.
It’s very likely there’s a direct path from Imus’ MSNBC simulcast being torpedoed by Al Sharpton in 2007, to Sharpton’s weekly gig on the channel, as a form of protection money by Comcast.
IT’S COME TO THIS: Hallmark CSI: The Formula Works For Anything. I Made My Own And So Can You.

Ban all the things!
FAHRENHEIT FOUR-FIVE-TRUMP: Michael Moore says Trump could win in 2020, Midwest support hasn’t dropped ‘one inch.’
TRUMP-HATING NY TIMES POUTS TRUMP DOESN’T THROW CHRISTMAS PARTIES FOR JOURNALISTS.
Even the New York Times doesn’t believe its own rhetoric: Since the summer, its declared that America was born in the Original Sin of slavery, and as a result, remains hopelessly racist. And yet, the Gray Lady pouts when it’s not invited to its government’s Christmas parties. But then, as Glenn noted yesterday, “The thing to remember is, they’re bad, broken people, who turn their problems outward. They bully others because, deep down, they know they’re awful themselves.”
