NICE SHOOTING: A US Navy destroyer just shot down an intercontinental ballistic missile target for the first time. “The SM-3 Block IIA is an interceptor developed by Raytheon Missiles & Defense in partnership with Japan’s Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. Tuesday’s intercept test was the sixth time the ship-launched interceptor had been tested against a simulated missile threat. Though the interceptor was originally built to take down intermediate-range ballistic missiles, the US military has now demonstrated a new capability.”

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEF: Congress Needs to Slay Big Tech’s 3-Headed Monster.

I am beginning to lose count, but I know that this is at least the third time since the summer that members of Congress and the CEOs have staged one of these political kabuki theater performances. The pattern is familiar: Zuckerberg doesn’t remember much, Dorsey shows up stoned but with plenty of stalling, sometimes nonsensical answers. Then Ted Cruz ABSOLUTELY DESTROYS them, which makes for some good blog traffic.

After that, the Jack and Zuck show gets back to business as usual.

Indeed.

IT WAS EXACTLY LIKE SEDITION: The Obama-Trump Transition Was More Like Sedition.

At the very moment Barack Obama welcomed Trump to the Oval Office on November 10, 2016 for a kumbaya photo op, his FBI was spying on Trump campaign advisor Carter Page, and by extension, Donald Trump. Barack Obama’s FBI, under the corrupt leadership of James Comey, used fabricated political opposition research to convince a secret court that Page was a Russian agent and had conspired with the Russians to rig the election. Comey and Sally Yates, Obama’s deputy attorney general, signed the initial FISA warrant on October 21, 2016.

Comey’s FBI also was investigating three other Trump associates including his former campaign manager and Lt. General Michael Flynn, the incoming national security advisor.

After Trump won, Obama continued to stoke the fantasy that Trump’s election was illegitimate due to Russia’s “attack” on our democracy. On December 9, 2016, Obama amplified the farce by instructing his intelligence community to conduct a “full investigation” into the 2016 election.
