GAVIN GETS SLAPPED DOWN BY CALIFORNIA JUDGE: The Golden State’s chief executive has issued anti-Covid regulations that are likely the most discriminatory against Christians in the nation.

But late Thursday, California Superior Court Judge Gregory Pulskamp waved the red flag, specifically citing the Supreme Court’s recent comeuppance to New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s similarly bigoted regulations aimed at Jewish and Catholic gatherings in Brooklyn.

It takes time for Supreme Court precedents to be applied as widely as needed, but this decision suggests that Justice Alito’s efforts on behalf of the First Amendment and religious freedom are bearing fruit rather quickly.

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEF: Another Middle East Trump Triumph for the Media to Ignore. “This is how utterly despicable the journalist class has become. What President Trump has accomplished diplomatically this year should be celebrated by all Americans. It takes a special kind of emotional stunting to not be able to admit that. The MSM is so riddled with Trump Derangement Syndrome that it can’t praise an accomplishment of his even when they think that they’re about to kick him out of the door.”

WILL NPR AND CNN FOLLOW THE FACTS? Don’t hold your breath. That said, JustTheNews.com’s John Solomon has been following and breaking news about Hunter Biden since at least October. And what the lapdogs insisted was “Russian disinformation” turns out to be pretty well-supported. Solomon details an email from Biden’s lawyer and partner at the time warning him that:

“The January 2017 email suggests Hunter Biden made anywhere from $833,614 to more than $2.5 million a year in the second term of the Obama-Biden administration as he and his partners pursued global business deals in Ukraine, Russia, China and other foreign countries. But it also raised questions about his finances and accounting beyond the alleged Burisma tax payment that was overdue. Schwerin’s email suggested Hunter Biden borrowed money from his company, and also had claimed as income monies he did not receive. “You didn’t receive this in cash and it is in reality ‘phantom income,'” Schwerin wrote Hunter Biden in explaining some transactions.”

XI’S GOTTA HAVE IT: China Seems Ready for a Fight Over Taiwan. “For decades China-watchers have debated what form a People’s Liberation Army (PLA) offensive against Taiwan might take. An onslaught seems to be coming. Saying no to a cross-strait union is not an option Chinese Communist Party (CCP) supremo Xi Jinping means to grant the islanders. Beijing wrote its threat to use force into law back in 2005. Xi regularly reminds everyone that the party’s patience is finite. It seems the only question is timing.”

A SETBACK FOR POLITICAL PERSECUTION: Judge dismisses prosecutor from McCloskeys case. “A judge on Thursday disqualified the St. Louis prosecutor and her office from the case involving Mark McCloskey, who along with his wife pointed guns at racial injustice protesters marching on the private street near their home in June. Circuit Judge Thomas Clark II dismissed Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner, citing two campaign fundraising emails around the time she filed felony gun charges against the couple in July. ‘In short, the Circuit Attorney’s conduct raises the appearance that she initiated a criminal prosecution for political purposes,’ Clark wrote.”
