THE ENEMY IS FRAGILITY: Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s thoughtful strategy.
FROZEN MARINE IN ICE AND SNOW: My old squadron XO called it “practicing suffering.” May you enjoy your warm Christmas Eve.
RELATED: Here’s what the Marine is preparing for — winter war. The XO’s quip was gallows humor for inuring soldiers and entire units to the cold weather so they could conduct sustained combat operations in snow, ice and mud. From the history photo file, an example, The Battle of the Bulge. (1) GIs on a Battle of the Bulge patrol, Dec. 30, 1944; (2) Army tankers enjoy a late Christmas dinner in the Bulge, Dec. 30, 1944; (3) In Belgium and Germany the winter fog is cold — Bulge Dec. 20, 1944; (4) 75th Infantry Division soldiers in the drifts, Dec. 23, 1944; (5) GIs and a horse marching in the snow; and (6) Marching to St. Vith — one of my favorites. In color, too.
TOYOTA’S PRESIDENT MORPHED INTO JEREMY CLARKSON SO SLOWLY, I HARDLY EVEN NOTICED: Toyota’s President Says Electric Vehicles Are Overhyped.
SOME FOLKS JUST DON’T GET THE FIRST AMENDMENT: Among them is federal District Court Judge Jesus Bernal, who defied a direct order from the U.S. Supreme Court in order to protect Gov. Gavin Newsom’s assault on the First Amendment’s guarantee of religious worship and practice. It’s all in my latest piece for PJ Media Culture.

TUCKER CARLSON: The slow, painful death of California.
With that in mind, here’s the bottom line: California is falling apart. Over the course of the last several decades, California has gone from one of the richest places in the world to the poorest state in our country. More than a third of its population hovers around the poverty line. Even before COVID, more than four million Californians were collecting food stamps. More than 150,000 people in California are homeless. They’re living on the streets, in parks, under overpasses, in tents on the sidewalk.
This is a human tragedy caused by the selfishness and the stupidity of bad leaders and their bad policies. If these leaders were judged by their performance, no big-city politician in the state of California would have a job. They know that, so they’re working hard to make certain that they’re not judged by rational standards. Instead, they inflame racial wounds to try to keep the population distracted and divided, to keep the attention away from them and their failures.

The most recent estimates show that California lost more than 135,000 people in the last year. Among those people, by the way, is Kamala Harris. She’s in Washington now, and she’s bringing California-style governance to the rest of us. You should pay attention to that.

ATTRITION: AND LAW SCHOOLS.
FINALLY: Congress Legalizes Smokey Bear Impersonations. The $2.3 trillion spending bill repeals criminal penalties for using Smokey Bear’s likeness without government permission.
OUR COUNTRY IS DYING OF STUPIDITY: Fairfax County, Virginia judge decides black defendant can’t get fair trial in courtroom featuring portraits of white judges.
NEVER TRUST CONTENT FROM IMPERIAL COLLEGE:
YOUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK: Washington Free Beacon Sleuth-Extraordinaire Joe Schoffstall took a look at the Tides Center’s latest (2019) tax filing and discovered that the liberal activist group incubator received $16 million in federal grants.
If you aren’t familiar with the Tides Center, it’s a branch of the Tides Foundation, the California-based originator of Dark Money – that is, providing a tax-exempt place for liberal donors to give money anonymously to activist groups they would not otherwise want to be identified with publicly.
It’s all but impossible to name a significant Left-wing activist group of the past two, even three, decades that doesn’t in some way benefit from the Tides umbrella. These days, the most prominent such group would probably be the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation. It’s not for nothing that Schoffstall describes Tides as the “Dark Money Behemoth.”

OPEN THREAD: It’s a cookbook!
PAST PERFORMANCE IS NO GUARANTEE OF FUTURE RESULTS:
But why even try, when the Times assured us in 2017 that truly great sex hasn’t happened since 1991?
ROGER SIMON: The Senate: Throw Them (Almost) All Out.
Every single member of the U.S. Senate deserves to be fired, vilified and run out on the proverbial rail except—alphabetically—Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), Mike Lee (R-Utah), Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and Rick Scott (R-Fla.).
They were the only ones with the honor, the basic morality, not to vote for a wretched, pork-dripping from its mouth, “America-hating” (as Roger Kimball accurately called it on Parler), miserable excuse for a “COVID relief bill” that sends twenty-five million taxpayer dollars to Pakistan for something called “gender programs,” millions more for every liberal arts and humanities boondoggle imaginable (most of them shut anyway), but a miserly six hundred bucks to the terminally-masked citizens of this country who have been locked in their houses since the Paleolithic Age.
And while we’re riding people out on a rail, we should build a special one of titanium or whatever metal is most permanent for Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer and send them back respectively to the feces and syringe-laden streets of San Francisco and the rat-infested walk-ups of Hunt’s Point and East New York.
These same supposed public servants, who have been around since beforethe aforementioned Paleolithic Age, SUDDENLY—as if discovering shame for the first time in their lives—agreed with Donald Trump that the paltry six hundred should be bumped up to an at least palatable two thousand.
Where were they—and the rest of the senators and congressmen and women who voted for this monstrosity—in the first place?
If your senator or representative wasn’t on the list of no voters, make a note of it and act accordingly.
Sometimes I think the only decent people in this country are those who are labeled “deplorables.” In fact, strike the “sometimes.”
They are the only ones who really stand against the uniparty, of which this bill is a quintessential product, other than “The Squad,” who are reactionary crackpots.
Speaking of which, simultaneous to learning about said bill, I received the draft of a press release from Garland Favorito, an IT expert in Atlanta and co-founder of VoterGA, who is one of the good guys and a true public servant for his work on voter fraud.
Apparently, an emergency lawsuit has been filed against the Fulton County (Atlanta) Elections Director and Elections Board members. That suit alleges a small group of workers at State Farm Arena illegally scanned thousands of secretly hidden mail-in ballots into the election results on election night.
Two affidavits from witnesses attest this scanning began after monitors left because they were told scanning was over for the evening. About 40 minutes after this renewed scanning of hidden ballots was complete, an election line feed showed an unprecedented 100,000+ vote spike that turned the election in favor of Joe Biden.
The lawsuit petitioners, concerned those ballots may be fraudulent, are petitioning to examine them. They contend the ballots were not creased from mailing and made of an unfamiliar card stock.
Previous open records requests have been ignored, and the petitioners further contend the defendants violated their oath of office to prevent fraud.
The State Farm Arena, it should be remembered, was the location of a putative plumbing leak that supposedly shut the venue down.
Turning back to the Senate and the House, with results from all six swing states still unclear, how will the various senators and representatives respond?
Which ones will file an objection to the electoral votes on Jan. 6?
Shouldn’t all those who voted no on the bogus stimulus be on board? Thus far it’s also unclear.
Nevertheless, Rep.-elect Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) is optimistic. She apparently orchestrated a meeting on Dec. 22 with President Trump to “get the ball rolling” on the challenges to the election.
And speaking of Georgia: ‘Fantastic reporting!’ CNN’s Jake Tapper is all over the disturbing story about Raphael Warnock allegedly driving car over his ex-wife’s foot.
And by “all over,” our sister site Twitchy means that Tapper simply retweeted somebody else’s tweet on on Warnock. “Ah yes, he’s done his tweet and now he doesn’t need to do anything else! Conservatives now have their crumbs!“
