westernjournal--2020-12-08--Jolly Justice: Little Boy Gets Huge Surprise from Good Santa After Woke Santa Ruined Christmas

A video posted online Sunday allegedly showed a scrooge of a Santa Claus denying a boy ’ s wish to be gifted a toy gun for Christmas , but after the video went viral , the child ’ s wish came true , and then some .

westernjournal--2020-12-08--Dan Calabrese: 4 Immediate Benefits We’d See if the GOP Cut Government Spending

Conventional wisdom says there ’ s no political reward for opposing government spending .
That ’ s because people love to be the beneficiaries of such spending .
Oh sure , people will tell you they think government should limit what it spends , say the vaunted political consultants .
But try to take away the goodies people get for the money , they ’ ll go into a full-scale revolt .
This would explain why one party talks a good game about controlling spending , but neither party ever does anything about it .
When a Democrat is in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ how we ’ re spending ourselves into oblivion .
When a Republican is in the White House , boy , we ’ d love to cut spending .
But , you know , the military needs the money , and entitlements are a sacred obligation , and there are all these emergencies .
.
.
yeah , maybe next year .
You can ’ t cut Social Security and Medicare because seniors vote .
You can ’ t cut the defense budget because the world is a dangerous place .
You can ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ makes them mandatory .
You can ’ t cut ethanol subsidies because the senior senator from Iowa is a powerful committee chairman .
But the truth is that this is a self-fulfilling prophecy .
We don ’ t cut spending because no one is really interested in trying .
No one really believes there ’ s a political reward for doing so .
But there would be a political reward if the people understood how they would benefit from it .
As it stands , the federal government spends more than $ 4 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , before you tack on a trillion here and a trillion there for “ emergencies.
” But we ’ re taking in just over $ 3 trillion in tax receipts .
That costs every American household , on average , $ 23,809 a year .
And since we have to borrow what the tax receipts don ’ t cover , we ’ re spending nearly $ 500 billion a year just to pay the interest on our $ 25 trillion national debt .
If the federal government could reduce its annual spending to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ benefit in several ways : First , tax rates could be further reduced both for individuals and businesses .
Second , the private sector would have more capital to allocate toward business growth and job creation .
Third , the federal government would be forced to reduce its involvement in people ’ s lives .
Fourth , interest payments on the debt would actually start to go down , which would allow for a further reduction in tax rates .
RELATED : Bob Ehrlich : Political Predictions Rarely Come True , But Here @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Bank There was a time when Republican politicians lived by promising lower taxes , and by hanging the threat of higher taxes around the necks of Democrats .
Today , Republicans don ’ t believe the public cares about tax rates .
They cite as evidence the Trump tax cuts of 2017 , which were widely unpopular because middle-class people didn ’ t think their taxes are being reduced .
That ’ s because they kept hearing from the media that all the benefits were going to the rich .
But a funny @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people started to recognize that their paychecks were getting bigger , and they realized the media had lied to them about the tax cut .
It is not a political loser to tell people they have the right to keep the money they ’ ve earned .
It is not a political loser to say the federal government should exercise the same fiscal restraint that families have to practice every day .
The challenge is that , when you make this case , you have to shout over the media and Democrats accusing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ whatever else .
This is where Republicans usually shrink from the fight — because they aren ’ t prepared to answer those charges and they don ’ t think it ’ s worth the effort to try .
They need to try harder .
The public wants to keep more of what it earns .
The public wants a fiscally responsible government .
But they don ’ t think either party is really serious about this , so they don ’ t believe there ’ s much point in electing Republicans as opposed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ serious about this , and yes , they ’ ll take a lot of heat .
You ’ ll see some real battles .
But for the first time in a long time , you ’ ll see a real distinction between the two parties , and you ’ ll give the people who want to believe in limited government reason to believe there ’ s finally a party that wants to give it to them .
Of course , if you return to power by delivering limited government , your power is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fine .
Don ’ t try to change a thing .

It is not a political loser to tell people they have the right to keep the money they’ve earned. It is not a political loser to say the federal government should exercise the same fiscal restraint that families have to practice every day.
The challenge is that, when you make this case, you have to shout over the media and Democrats accusing you of being racist, anti-poor and whatever else.

They need to try harder. The public wants to keep more of what it earns. The public wants a fiscally responsible government. But they don’t think either party is really serious about this, so they don’t believe there’s much point in electing Republicans as opposed to Democrats.

But for the first time in a long time, you’ll see a real distinction between the two parties, and you’ll give the people who want to believe in limited government reason to believe there’s finally a party that wants to give it to them.
Of course, if you return to power by delivering limited government, your power is also limited. That’s perfectly fine. Don’t try to change a thing.

westernjournal--2020-12-08--Officials Find 12 Uncounted Ballots in Race GOP Leads by – You Guessed It – 12 Votes

Mind-boggling things are happening in the race to represent New York ’ s 22nd Congressional District .
Republican Claudia Tenney , as of the reported results Saturday , led incumbent Democratic Rep. Anthony Brindisi by 12 votes , according to The Post-Standard in Syracuse .
Last week , 55 uncounted ballots were mysteriously found , The Washington Examiner reported .
As for now , those votes aren ’ t being counted , and 11 of them have been deemed to have been cast by unregistered voters .
Why are votes still being found in December for an election that occurred @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ' Open Society Foundation President Steps Down , Paving the Way for Potential Biden Admin Job Nobody seems to have a coherent answer for the oddities , but the upstate district ’ s race just keeps getting stranger .
In a stunning coincidence — if you believe in coincidences — 12 additional votes have now been found .
WBNG-TV broke the stunning news Monday , announcing a dozen votes were found in a drawer in Chenango County .
Also Monday , Tenney and Brindisi faced off in court , with New York Supreme @ @ @ @ @ @ @ counsel for both candidates .
“ Brindisi ’ s team is asking the judge to hold off on allowing a certification [ of Tenney as the winner ] until they can sort out errors made by county boards of elections .
DelConte has called those errors ‘ serious , ’ ” WBNG reported .
DelConte , a Democrat , revealed during the proceeding that the 12 additional ballots had been unearthed .
“ WOW : Justice DelConte casually mentions an additional 12 ballots were found in Chenango County in a drawer last week @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in a tweet Monday .
“ This is on top of the 55 ballots I reported were found last week , now making it 67 found ballots .
“ Already a contentious proceeding less than 30 min in # NY22.
” RELATED : Pelosi Omits Key Detail About First Black Congressman When Announcing Exhibit Honoring Him Neither Rosenblatt nor DelConte divulged which candidate the dirty dozen ballots were cast for .
Whether you believe that widespread voter fraud or irregularities occurred in the still-contested presidential election , it ’ s difficult to deny @ @ @ @ @ @ @ all the time .
Who keeps legally cast ballots tucked away in a drawer ?
It ’ s difficult for rational people to imagine a scenario in which a person involved in the counting or collecting of votes says , “ Gee , I ’ ll put these 12 ones in here for now.
” The New York contest is one of two close , uncalled races that are currently led by GOP candidates .
Last week , Republican Mariannette Miller-Meeks was registered as the winner of the race for Iowa ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ over Democrat Rita Hart , The Des Moines Register reported .
Now , however , Democrats are asking House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to get involved and use an obscure procedure to deny Miller-Meeks the victory .
“ The House could refuse to seat Miller-Meeks and create a committee to review the matter , ” Politico reported .
“ If Hart files a contest under the Federal Contested Election Act , then the House Administration Committee will claim jurisdiction .
In New York , it looks like the corrupt Tammany Hall political machine is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ state is actually just led by a majority of run-of-the-mill Democrats .
Somehow , New York continues to unearth votes more than a month after an election that was not initially favorable to the Democrats ’ candidate in the race .

Mind-boggling things are happening in the race to represent New York’s 22nd Congressional District.
Republican Claudia Tenney, as of the reported results Saturday, led incumbent Democratic Rep. Anthony Brindisi by 12 votes, according to The Post-Standard in Syracuse.
Last week, 55 uncounted ballots were mysteriously found, The Washington Examiner reported.
As for now, those votes aren’t being counted, and 11 of them have been deemed to have been cast by unregistered voters.
Why are votes still being found in December for an election that occurred on Nov. 3?
Nobody seems to have a coherent answer for the oddities, but the upstate district’s race just keeps getting stranger.
In a stunning coincidence — if you believe in coincidences — 12 additional votes have now been found.
WBNG-TV broke the stunning news Monday, announcing a dozen votes were found in a drawer in Chenango County.
Also Monday, Tenney and Brindisi faced off in court, with New York Supreme Court Justice Scott DelConte hearing from legal counsel for both candidates.

“Brindisi’s team is asking the judge to hold off on allowing a certification [of Tenney as the winner] until they can sort out errors made by county boards of elections. DelConte has called those errors ‘serious,’” WBNG reported.
DelConte, a Democrat, revealed during the proceeding that the 12 additional ballots had been unearthed.
“WOW: Justice DelConte casually mentions an additional 12 ballots were found in Chenango County in a drawer last week,” WBNG reporter Josh Rosenblatt said in a tweet Monday.
“This is on top of the 55 ballots I reported were found last week, now making it 67 found ballots.
“Already a contentious proceeding less than 30 min in #NY22.”
WOW: Justice DelConte casually mentions an additional 12 ballots were found in Chenango County in a drawer last week. This is on top of the 55 ballots I reported were found last week, now making it 67 found ballots. Already a contentious proceeding less than 30 min in #NY22 — Josh Rosenblatt (@JRosenblattTV) December 7, 2020
Neither Rosenblatt nor DelConte divulged which candidate the dirty dozen ballots were cast for.
Whether you believe that widespread voter fraud or irregularities occurred in the still-contested presidential election, it’s difficult to deny that this congressional race is getting fishier all the time.
Who keeps legally cast ballots tucked away in a drawer?
It’s difficult for rational people to imagine a scenario in which a person involved in the counting or collecting of votes says, “Gee, I’ll put these 12 ones in here for now.”
The New York contest is one of two close, uncalled races that are currently led by GOP candidates.
Last week, Republican Mariannette Miller-Meeks was registered as the winner of the race for Iowa’s 2nd Congressional District with a six-vote lead over Democrat Rita Hart, The Des Moines Register reported.
Now, however, Democrats are asking House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to get involved and use an obscure procedure to deny Miller-Meeks the victory.
“The House could refuse to seat Miller-Meeks and create a committee to review the matter,” Politico reported. “If Hart files a contest under the Federal Contested Election Act, then the House Administration Committee will claim jurisdiction.
In New York, it looks like the corrupt Tammany Hall political machine is still running the show.
But the state is actually just led by a majority of run-of-the-mill Democrats.
Somehow, New York continues to unearth votes more than a month after an election that was not initially favorable to the Democrats’ candidate in the race.
Perhaps these mysterious votes will stop being found once 13 or more of them are tabulated and awarded to Brindisi.
It’s immaterial at this point. Now, no matter how the race plays out, New Yorkers lose. The manner in which the state and others conducted elections this year has instilled doubt in the minds of many voters.
A 12-ballot discovery in a race separated by 12 votes, coincidence or not, makes a mockery of the democratic process.

westernjournal--2020-12-08--400 Michigan Schools Just Banded Together To Sue Over Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s New COVID Restrictions

Democratic Michigan Gov .
Gretchen Whitmer ’ s latest shutdown edict violates the First Amendment ’ s protection of the free exercise of religion , according to a new lawsuit .
The lawsuit filed by the Michigan Association of Non-Public Schools , which represents 400 schools across Michigan , objects to a Michigan Department of Health and Human Services order that keeps high schools closed for in-person learning .

“ While faith is integrated into curriculum , physical presence at a faith-based school allows for additional , unique integration beyond classroom instruction .

The release said the order was “ scientifically , educationally and constitutionally unjustified.
” “ The fact is , our high schools ’ COVID-19 safety plans , with their robust health and safety protocols , are working @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and the community at large , while also ensuring that our young people can receive the in-person education and formation that is so irreplaceable to their spiritual , intellectual , emotional , and social development , ” Maloney said .
The lawsuit seeks to allow the schools to legally reopen .

The actress shared on her social media accounts a video from the YouTube channel “On The Table” that has since been removed from YouTube’s platform.
According to Variety, the video “questions the legitimacy of the COVID-19 vaccine” and “also appears skeptical of climate change, accuses China of spreading COVID-19 and includes transphobic comments.”
The outlet painted Wright as some sort of crazed conspiracy theorist.
What Variety failed to mention is that skepticism of the threat posed by climate change isn’t the same as a denial of its existence, China’s cover-up of the virus led to a much greater COVID-19 death toll and any questioning of the transgender narrative constitutes “transphobia,” according to transgender activists.
The report said Wright later deleted the video and sent out a tweet saying, “If you don’t conform to popular opinions. but ask questions and think for yourself….you get cancelled.”

westernjournal--2020-12-08--Judge Dismisses Case Against Gen. Flynn Following Pardon from President Trump

A federal judge on Tuesday dismissed the criminal case against former Trump administration national security adviser Michael Flynn .
The order from U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan was expected in light of the pardon from President Donald Trump that wiped away Flynn ’ s conviction for lying to the FBI during the Russia investigation .
Sullivan acknowledged in his 43-page order that the president ’ s pardon required the case to be dismissed .
But he claimed that the decision to pardon Flynn was a political , rather than legal , one .
TRENDING : Soros ' Open Society Foundation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for Potential Biden Admin Job “ The history of the Constitution , its structure , and the Supreme Court ’ s interpretation of the pardon power make clear that President Trump ’ s decision to pardon Mr. Flynn is a political decision , not a legal one , ” Sullivan wrote .
“ Because the law recognizes the President ’ s political power to pardon , the appropriate course is to dismiss this case as moot.
” He also argued that the pardon did not mean that Flynn was innocent of a crime @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Though the president has the right to pardon Flynn , “ a pardon does not necessarily render ‘ innocent ’ a defendant of any alleged violation of the law , ” Sullivan wrote .
“ Indeed , the Supreme Court has recognized that the acceptance of a pardon implies a ‘ confession ’ of guilt.
” The order brings to an end a yearslong legal saga .
The Justice Department last spring moved to dismiss Flynn ’ s case , arguing that there was no basis for the FBI to have questioned @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the statements he made during the interview were immaterial to the underlying investigation into whether the Trump campaign had colluded with Russia .
Sullivan had resisted the department ’ s request to dismiss the case and appointed a former federal judge from New York to argue against its motion .
He defended his stance on Tuesday even as he dismissed the case , writing that “ many of the government ’ s reasons for why it has decided to reverse course and seek dismissal in this case appear pretextual , particularly in view @ @ @ @ @ @ @ committed to truth and accuracy in all of our journalism .

Though the president has the right to pardon Flynn, “a pardon does not necessarily render ‘innocent’ a defendant of any alleged violation of the law,” Sullivan wrote. “Indeed, the Supreme Court has recognized that the acceptance of a pardon implies a ‘confession’ of guilt.”

The order brings to an end a yearslong legal saga.
The Justice Department last spring moved to dismiss Flynn’s case, arguing that there was no basis for the FBI to have questioned him in the first place and that the statements he made during the interview were immaterial to the underlying investigation into whether the Trump campaign had colluded with Russia.
Sullivan had resisted the department’s request to dismiss the case and appointed a former federal judge from New York to argue against its motion.
He defended his stance on Tuesday even as he dismissed the case, writing that “many of the government’s reasons for why it has decided to reverse course and seek dismissal in this case appear pretextual, particularly in view of the surrounding circumstances.”

westernjournal--2020-12-08--Pelosi Backs Gut-Wrenching Biden Plan for Transgenders and Locker Rooms

Leaders in the Democratic Party continue to unify behind Joe Biden ’ s radical transgender agenda .
On Dec. 1 , Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York came out in support of the presumptive president-elect ’ s plan to allow the inclusion of men and boys who identify as female into spaces for women and girls .
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California threw her support behind Biden ’ s plan on Friday .

Does he have the power to unilaterally do this , and do you agree with this ?

“ On his first day in office , Biden will reinstate the Obama-Biden guidance revoked by the Trump-Pence Administration , which will restore transgender students ’ access to sports , bathrooms , and locker rooms in accordance with their gender identity , ” the website reads .

On Biden’s website, the former vice president makes his position clear: He wants to allow boys and men unfettered access to female-only activities, spaces and privileges, so long as they claim to belong to the opposite gender.
“On his first day in office, Biden will reinstate the Obama-Biden guidance revoked by the Trump-Pence Administration, which will restore transgender students’ access to sports, bathrooms, and locker rooms in accordance with their gender identity,” the website reads.

“He will direct his Department of Education to vigorously enforce and investigate violations of transgender students’ civil rights,” it says.
Biden’s plan to add a gender identity provision to Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 creates one big problem: Title IX is traditionally used to protect sex-based rights, which conflict with gender-identity rights.
Sex-based rights assume that “male” and “female” are separate designations that require unique protections. Gender-based rights assume that “male” and “female” are interchangeable designations that require the same protections. You can’t have both. — Michael Austin (@mikeswriting) December 5, 2020
Over time, women have been given certain specific sex-based rights due to the biological differences that exist between men and women.
For example, there are various prominent physiological differences between the sexes, and women have a substantially larger reproductive burden.
The goal of sex-based protections has been to minimize some of these differences and acknowledge that as a distinct sex, women deserve (as men do) unique rights specific to their needs.
If any man is able to claim access to those rights based solely on a gender identity claim, women no longer are afforded the safety and privacy of their own spaces.
One of the uses of Title IX has been to promote and support female athletics, which have long played second fiddle to male athletics given men’s biological advantage when it comes to athletic ability.
Transgender students need accommodation, but not at the expense of other students’ comfort, safety, & fairness (in sport). Girl’s rights matter too. They cannot simply be ignored in the name of inclusivity. — Carlyn (@toleratefreedom) December 6, 2020
If men are able to play on women’s teams through gender identity claims, they could dominate both men’s and women’s sports.
Unfortunately, anyone who tries to point out these concerns through public discourse is immediately labeled as “transphobic” by transgender activists and those who support Biden’s plan.
If Biden’s supporters continue to silence the majority, American women may soon lose many of their rights.
