Not exactly shocking after what we saw at the Trump-Biden debate but still deeply disturbing.

I’m old enough to remember when the California Dream was the American Dream but better — because it was in California.
But like a lot of people, it’s departed for places like Florida and Texas.
TWILIGHT OF EMPIRE: Russian military has begun large-scale withdrawal from Syria, US and Western officials say. “Without a Libyan port, and if they are forced to abandon Tartus in Syria, the Russians would be left without a Mediterranean sea port to project power on NATO’s southern flank, the official said. The loss of Tartus, even temporarily, will also make it harder for Russia to move illicit materials between Russia and Africa, the defense official said.”
THIS IS MORE LIKE THE 21ST CENTURY I WAS PROMISED: ULA pitches ‘space interceptor’ role for Vulcan rocket’s upper stage.
ULA CEO Tory Bruno discussed this vision at the Spacepower Conference, positioning the Vulcan Centaur not just as a launch vehicle but as a potential orbital deterrent against adversaries targeting Space Force assets.
“Our vision is the ability to have a platform that is lightning fast, long range, and, if necessary, very lethal,” Bruno said Dec. 12. “What I’ve been working on is essentially a rocket that operates in space.”
Bruno has long advocated expanded capabilities for the Centaur upper stage. In 2020, he outlined plans for an enhanced Centaur V featuring increased energy, thrust, and duration capabilities to enable complex trajectories and ambitious future missions. More recently, he has promoted a “high-performance, long-duration” version that could operate for days or weeks in support of U.S. military operations.

WAKE UP, WOKE IS DEAD: The National Spelling Bee Goes Woke: Women Is Now Spelled W-O-M-Y-N. “The National Spelling Bee has disavowed any responsibility. According to them, all the words they used were taken directly from the Merriam-Webster Unabridged Dictionary. Alas, after the Merrian-Webster’s Grammar Gestapos approved of ‘W-O-M-Y-N,’ nothing more could be done.”
CHILD ABUSE: Troubled 12-year-old was ‘fast-tracked’ for hormones, mastectomy, charges lawsuit. “Sexually abused as a young child, 11-year-old Kaya Breen told a school counselor that she’d wondered if ‘life would be easier if she were a boy,’ her lawsuit states. The counselor told her and her parents that she was transgender. She was diagnosed with gender dysphoria, and fast-tracked her for puberty blockers at 12, cross-sex hormones at 13 and a mastectomy at 14.”
ENDLESSLY INVENTIVE: Here’s Another Way California Just Found to Make Life Hell.
WELL, PUT HIM BACK: Prisoner CNN helped free from Syrian prison was actually notorious Assad-regime torturer.
The prisoner CNN helped free from a secret facility in Syria was actually a notorious member of Bashar al-Assad’s forces known to torture those who refused to pay him off, according to a shocking local fact check.
The network went viral last week with footage of the startled prisoner being led from the prison by journalist Clarissa Ward, who called it “one of the most extraordinary moments I have witnessed” in her 20 years of reporting.
But “independent and unbiased” fact-checkers Verify-Sy published a detailed report Sunday saying that the seemingly innocent prisoner was actually Salama Mohammad Salama — a first lieutenant in Syrian Air Force Intelligence with a long history of alleged war crimes.
“We have subsequently been investigating his background and are aware that he may have given a false identity,” CNN acknoweldged to the Telegraph. “We are continuing our reporting into this and the wider story.”
The CNN story last week showed Ward and a camera crew, escorted by a rebel fighter, visiting a former Syrian Air Force intelligence headquarters in Damascus and freeing the man who was found under a blanket locked in a windowless cell.
Exit quote: “Verify-Sy noted, however, that he appeared ‘well-groomed, and physically healthy, with no visible injuries or signs of torture — an incongruous portrayal of someone allegedly held in solitary confinement in the dark for 90 days.'”
Heckuva job, CNN.

MEANWHILE, IN THE BLACK SEA: How to Sink Two Oil Tankers With This 1 Weird Trick.
IT WOULD TAKE A HEART OF STONE NOT TO LAUGH: MSNBC and CNN Fight to Dig Out of a Postelection Ratings Hole.
MSNBC averaged 603,000 prime-time viewers from the day after the election through Dec. 8, down by more than half from the network’s year-to-date average through the election, according to Nielsen data. CNN was down 46%, to 401,000 viewers. Meanwhile, Fox News was up 12%, averaging about 2.7 million viewers.
MSNBC and CNN both reported dips for the month following the 2016 election, but they weren’t nearly as steep. CNN’s drop was off a higher baseline.
Partisan viewers “turn away in disgust when it’s the other side having that postelection euphoria,” said Johanna Dunaway, a political science professor and research director of the Syracuse University Institute for Democracy, Journalism and Citizenship.
Dunaway said Democrats and Republicans grow disenchanted with the media and society when their candidates lose. After Biden won in 2020, Fox News’s prime-time viewership fell by 6%. Following Barack Obama’s 2012 win against Mitt Romney in the presidential election, Fox News’s prime-time viewership was down 13%.
Nobody wants to lose 13% or even just 6% of their business. But Fox’s 2012 and 2020 losses were a drop in the ratings bucket compared to CNN and MSNBC this year.
KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: Good Times — The Trump Train Runs Over George Stephanopoulos. “The people who participated in making the Biden years a liberty-choking slog are taking it on the chin now, and it’s a heck of a lot of fun to watch. Trump’s latest roundhouse punch to the Left is one that has been long overdue. The Democrats’ flying monkeys in the mainstream media have been working to undermine the Constitution for decades and most Republicans in Washington have been letting them get away with it.”

EVERYTHING IS BIGGER IN RUSSIA: Russian Banks Raise Mortgage Rates To 100% Amid Market Turmoil.
According to Chebeskov, financial institutions are using various tactics to discourage mortgage lending, including additional fees, inflated down payments, and issuing part of the loan under market rates far above state-supported programs.
“We are working with the Central Bank to eliminate these extreme practices,” Chebeskov stated, adding that such schemes violate the principles of fair lending. The Central Bank confirmed the rise of such tactics, noting that some banks exploit state-backed combo mortgage programs by applying exorbitant rates to the market-linked portion of the loan.
Economist Olga Gogaladze explained that borrowers resort to these programs when home prices surpass state-subsidized limits. With Moscow’s average apartment price at 20.3 million rubles (and Russia’s national average at 6.2 million rubles, many homebuyers must seek costly supplementary loans.
Analysts warn that unless market stability improves, Russia’s already paralyzed property market will soon enter freefall.
A $350,000 loan at 100% for 30 years requires a monthly payment of $29,167. Which, if you’re trying to put a damper on a housing market, ought to do the trick.

THE FIFTEEN MILLION DOLLAR MAN:
ABC TOOK AWAY HIS SOCIAL MEDIA PRIVILEGES LMAAAAOOOOOOO https://t.co/wYQKy6V1k5

Neither ABC nor Stephanopoulos said anything but this speaks volumes: ABC News settles defamation suit with Trump for $15 million.
ABC News will pay $15 million to a “presidential foundation and museum” in a settlement reached with President-elect Donald Trump in his defamation suit against the network and anchor George Stephanopoulos.
The settlement, which was filed publicly Saturday, reveals the network will also pay $1 million in Trump’s attorneys’ fees and will issue an apology.
ABC News will issue the following statement as an editor’s note on the online article at the center of the suit: “ABC News and George Stephanopoulos regret statements regarding President Donald J. Trump made during an interview by George Stephanopoulos with Rep. Nancy Mace on ABC’s This Week on March 10, 2024.”
“We are pleased that the parties have reached an agreement to dismiss the lawsuit on the terms in the court filing,” an ABC News spokesperson wrote in a statement.
Trump filed the lawsuit in Florida federal court earlier this year, arguing that Stephanopoulos and ABC News defamed him when the anchor said 10 times during a contentious on-air interview with South Carolina GOP Rep. Nancy Mace in March that a jury found Trump had “raped” E. Jean Carroll.
Trump will be pleased every time he remembers his future presidential foundation was funded in part by ABC.
