And the marketing stunt of the year award goes to&#8230;Ryan Reynolds.
Capitalizing off the fervor over the viral Peloton commercial in which a husband gives the exercise bike to his attractive wife for Christmas, a new commercial from the brand Aviation Gin (owned by actor Ryan Reynolds) featured the actress who has become known throughout the halls of social media as the &#8220;Peloton Girl.”
&#8220;Exercise bike not included,&#8221; Reynolds cheekily said in the caption while announcing the ad on Twitter. Take a look:

Starting in extreme close-up, the 40-second ad begins with the Peloton Girl actress looking into the fourth-wall as if processing a great trauma as she stares down a glass of gin at a bar table. Sitting beside her are her dumbfounded but supportive friends, who both ponder on how best to console her seemingly mysterious anguish. Suddenly, the actress breaks the dreaded ice of silence when she utters, &#8220;This gin is really smooth.&#8221;
&#8220;Yeah,&#8221; her friend replies. &#8220;We can get you another one if you like.&#8221;
&#8220;You&#8217;re safe here,&#8221; the other friend says comfortingly.
Feeling relaxed, the Peloton Girl actress raises a glass and says, &#8220;To new beginnings.&#8221; After a brief toast, the friends watch helplessly as the girl downs her glass of gin in a fit of desperation.
&#8220;It&#8217;s gonna be a fun night,&#8221; the friend says as the glass empties.
In the final shot on the Aviation Gin bottle, an enthusiastic voice exclaims, &#8220;You look great by the way.&#8221;
Earlier this week, the halls of social media lit up with controversy about the Peloton exercise bike, which seemed to stoke all kinds of mockery from various sections of society. Feminists derided it for alleged sexism while others just found it incomprehensible and somewhat ridiculous.
Here&#8217;s how <a href="https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/43kjbw/peloton-commercial-holiday-advertisement">Vice writer</a> Katie Way characterized it:
<blockquote>To anyone who hasn’t seen a commercial for the wildly expensive subscription home-exercise bike, the horror imbued in the scene above may feel obvious or overwrought. To that I say: Watch the clip, and tell me this shit isn’t wildly sinister. Her grim motivation that pushes her to drag herself out of bed combined with exclaiming at the camera how blatantly, inexplicably nervous the Peloton makes her paint a bleak portrait of a woman in the thrall of a machine designed to erode her spirit as it sculpts her quads.</blockquote>
The conversation became so hot that the actor who played the husband <a href="https://www.marketwatch.com/story/the-peloton-husband-responds-to-becoming-a-symbol-of-the-patriarchy-over-that-viral-ad-2019-12-06">lamented how</a> his face somehow became synonymous with sexism.
“People turned down a pretty dark path and it turned into a nasty thing,&#8221; the actor told &#8220;Good Morning America.&#8221; &#8220;My image is being associated with sexism, with the patriarchy, with abuse, with these words that I am seeing people write about me – that’s not who I am.”
“I currently sit here hoping that I’ll be able to continue auditioning for commercials without any taint, and that if my students happen to find the commercial and recognize me, they won’t think about me any different than they already know me,” he told Psychology Today. “If recognized on the street, what will people’s first opinions be of me?”

On Friday, far-left activist Greta Thunberg struck a somber, defeatist tone while speaking to fellow climate activists gathered at the United Nations climate talks in Madrid, Spain.
The Swedish teen complained that school climate strikes have &#8220;achieved nothing&#8221; and claimed that opponents of her radical agenda are trying to &#8220;silence&#8221; her and her supporters. Thunberg also claimed people are currently &#8220;suffering and dying&#8221; due to effects of supposed man-made climate change.
&#8220;The global wave of school strikes for the climate over the past year has &#8216;achieved nothing&#8217; because greenhouse gas emissions have continued to rise,&#8221; Thunberg reportedly told fellow activists, according to <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/dec/06/greta-thunberg-says-school-strikes-have-achieved-nothing?CMP=twt_a-environment_b-gdneco">The Guardian</a>.
“I’m just an activist and we need more activists,” the 16-year-old said. “Some people are afraid to change – they try so desperately to silence us.”
“We can’t go on like this; it is not sustainable that children skip school and we don’t want to continue – we would love some action from the people in power. People are suffering and dying today. We can’t wait any longer,” Thunberg warned.
The climate extremist expressed little hope in governments across the globe acting in a manner she sees fit to save the world from apparent destruction.
“I sincerely hope COP25 will reach something concrete and increase awareness among people,&#8221; Thunberg said, &#8220;and that world leaders and people in power grasp the urgency of the climate crisis, because right now it does not seem that they are.&#8221;
Since 2017, Thunberg has been pushed by politicos on the far-left and their allies in the media to lead the climate change agenda, which conveniently promotes socialist policies as solutions. In September, the teen cemented her role as climate leader with a radical, doomsday speech at the UN.
“My message is that we’ll be watching you,&#8221; Thunberg warned during the speech, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/greta-snaps-we-are-beginning-mass-extinction-how-ryan-saavedra">The Daily Wire</a> reported. &#8220;This is all wrong, I shouldn’t be up here, I should be back in school on the other side of the ocean. Yet, you all come to us young people for hope. How dare you. You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words, and yet I’m one of the lucky ones.&#8221;
&#8220;People are suffering; people are dying,&#8221; the teen claimed. &#8220;Entire ecosystems are collapsing. We are in the beginning of a mass extinction, and all you can talk about is money and fairytales of eternal economic growth.”
As noted by The Guardian, &#8220;greenhouse gas emissions have risen by 4%&#8221; since the Paris Accords were signed.
Oddly, Thunberg did not mention China during the infamous U.N. speech, nor during her latest address to climate activists, despite the nation leading in carbon emissions. Notably, Thunberg has also yet to visit China to give one of her most important lectures.
&#8220;With the world&#8217;s largest population and for decades one of the fastest growing economies, China is far and away the world&#8217;s top CO2 emitter,&#8221; <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2019/07/14/china-us-countries-that-produce-the-most-co-2-emissions/39548763/">USA Today</a> reported this summer, using data collecting in 2017. &#8220;Close to 10,000 million metric tons of CO2 from burning fossil fuel were emitted by the superpower in 2017. On a per capita basis, China&#8217;s CO2 emissions of 7.1 metric tons per person trail that of most countries on this list but still rank in the top 50 worldwide.&#8221;
&#8220;Driving China&#8217;s CO2 emissions is the nation&#8217;s massive coal production,&#8221; the reported noted. &#8220;China&#8217;s generation of electricity from coal has dropped slightly from 75% in 1992 to 70% in 2015. Still, overall coal production has tripled since 2000 to nearly 4,000 million metric tons – approximately half of all global coal production.&#8221;

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau mocked President Donald Trump on Tuesday at a NATO summit in London, saying that Trump&#8217;s team&#8217;s &#8220;jaws drop[ped] to the floor&#8221; after watching the president&#8217;s behavior.
Trudeau&#8217;s mockery of Trump became international news, and the president immediately canceled a press conference that he was scheduled to participate in at the conclusion of a NATO summit in London.
On Friday, however, Trump got the last laugh after jobs reports were released for both countries that showed very different performance numbers to put it mildly.
CNBC <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2019/12/06/us-nonfarm-payrolls-november-2019.html">noted</a> the following highlights from the U.S. jobs report:
<ul>
<li>Nonfarm payrolls surged by 266,000 in November, better than the 187,000 expected by economists polled by Dow Jones.</li>
<li>The unemployment rate ticked down to 3.5% from 3.6%, back to the 2019 low and matching the lowest jobless rate since 1969.</li>
<li>Average hourly earnings rose by 3.1% from a year ago, slightly above the 3% expected by economists polled by Dow Jones.</li>
</ul>
CNS News <a href="https://www.cnsnews.com/article/national/susan-jones/158593000-employed-november-24th-record-breaker-trump">reported</a> that the 158,593,000 Americans who were employed in November marked “the 24th record of Trump&#8217;s presidency” in terms of the overall number of Americans in the workforce.
“This is a ‘who would have thought moment?’” Becky Frankiewicz, president of staffing company ManpowerGroup’s North America division, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/november-jobs-report-11575633600">told</a> The Wall Street Journal. “No one would have ever guessed we could be sitting at 3.5% unemployment with 110 months of job gains.”
Trudeau&#8217;s economy took a very different turn than the U.S. economy did as it registered the biggest drop in employment in a decade.
&#8220;Canada’s job market unexpectedly weakened for a second-straight month, registering the biggest drop in employment since 2009 and casting doubt on the resiliency of the domestic outlook,&#8221; The Financial Post reported. &#8220;The economy lost 71,200 jobs in November, Statistics Canada said Friday in Ottawa, following a decline of 1,800 in the prior month.&#8221;
&#8220;The report missed the median economist forecast for a gain of 10,000 jobs,&#8221; The Financial Post continued. &#8220;The unemployment rate increased to 5.9 per cent in the month, from 5.5 per cent in October, the biggest one-month jump since 2009. The decrease in employment was broad-based among both the goods-producing and service-producing sectors.&#8221;
Julia Pollak, labor economist at ZipRecruiter, noted, &#8220;Canada’s jobs report is disappointing, showing job losses for the second month in a row. But observers should remember that the numbers are highly volatile and that this is still the strongest year for job growth in Canada in 17 years.&#8221;
Donald Trump Jr. had a different take, writing on Twitter: &#8220;For perspective the US is about 10X the population of Canada so this would be the equivalent of America shedding 700,000 jobs. Yikes! Maybe Justin should watch <a class="css-4rbku5 css-18t94o4 css-901oao css-16my406 r-1n1174f r-1loqt21 r-1qd0xha r-ad9z0x r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0" role="link" href="https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump" data-focusable="true">@realDonaldTrump</a> &amp; learn how to create jobs&#8230; or go back to being a substitute drama teacher.

Trudeau&#8217;s mockery of Trump surprised some who noted online that he did not have a lot of room to make fun of anyone after his embarrassing blackface scandal earlier this year.
&#8220;Numerous photographs and videos surfaced earlier this year that showed Trudeau wearing blackface which is universally seen as racist and condescending to black people,&#8221; The Daily Wire reported. &#8220;Trudeau was later humiliated by school children who <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-canadian-schoolchildren-destroy-justin-trudeau-over-blackface-photos">confronted him on camera</a> about why he choose to wear racist blackface.&#8221;

On Thursday, Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg held a town hall in Henniker, New Hampshire. During the event, a 7-year-old girl asked the South Bend mayor a question about abortion.
“Mayor Buttigieg, I have listened to you in the debates, and learned some stuff about you, and that you believe in a woman’s right to choose about her own body,” the girl said. “I agree with that. No one should mess with or choose about my body except me and my parents because I’m still a child.”
Buttigieg interjected: “You sound pretty sophisticated for a child. Do you mind if I ask how old you are?”
The girl said that she didn’t mind, and told the mayor that she was 7. Buttigieg replied: “Really? Well, you’re ahead of your time.”
The girl continued, asking: “I believe that you make your decision on whether you’re going to have a child, and then your decision is made, and the abortion is not part of it. What do you think about that?”
Buttigieg responded to the little girl, saying:
<blockquote>Well, first of all, thanks for speaking up about this, and thanks for being here, and I wish I was as tuned in to big issues when I was 7 as you seem to be. This is a hard issue for a lot of people because they believe different things – and where I live, people believe different things, including people that I respect. But the way I think about it is that this choice, it’s about drawing a line, and we might each, following our own beliefs, have a different idea about where to draw the line.
What I hope everybody, or at least most of us, can agree on is who gets to draw the line – and that’s the person making the decision, that’s the woman in question. And I trust women to make that choice. I don’t think that choice is easy. I know that it’s not going to be any better because the government’s saying what it ought to be. I trust women to make that choice. And it sounds like you and I view this issue the same way.</blockquote>

Buttigieg has made his position on abortion clear on numerous occasions, using similar verbiage. The extremity of his position can be seen during a Fox News town hall in which Chris Wallace asked the mayor about third trimester abortions.
“Do you believe at any point in pregnancy, whether it&#8217;s six weeks or eight weeks or 24 weeks or whatever, that there should be any limit on a woman&#8217;s right to have an abortion?” Wallace asked.
Buttigieg answered in typical fashion, saying: “I think the dialogue has got so caught up on where you draw the line that we&#8217;ve gotten away from the fundamental question of who gets to draw the line, and I trust women to draw the line when it&#8217;s [their own life].”
Wallace followed up, asking: “You’re saying that you would be okay with a woman well into the third trimester deciding to abort a pregnancy?”
Buttigieg pushed back, taking issue with the “hypothetical” nature of the question. Wallace then stated that at least 6,000 abortions a year are performed in the third trimester, and it’s therefore not hypothetical.
Buttigieg was finally forced to answer Wallace’s query:
<blockquote>So let&#8217;s put ourselves in the shoes of a woman in that situation. If it&#8217;s that late in your pregnancy, that means, almost by definition, you’ve been expecting to carry it to term. We&#8217;re talking about women who have perhaps chosen a name; women who have purchased a crib; families that then get the most devastating medical news of their lifetime – something about the health or the life of the mother that forces them to make an impossible, unthinkable choice.
And the bottom line is, as horrible as that choice is – that woman, that family may seek spiritual guidance; they may seek medical guidance – but that decision’s not going to be made any better medically or morally because the government is dictating how that decision should be made.</blockquote>
<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/p97xg-keEKg?start=615" width="720" height="385" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
As former abortionist Dr. Anthony Levatino said during an interview with Lila Rose, founder of anti-abortion organization Live Action, late-term abortions are never medically necessary to save the life of the mother.
<blockquote>ROSE: One of the biggest arguments of pro-abortion activists is that abortion is medically necessary. What&#8217;s your position on that?
LEVATINO: We hear all the time how abortion – including, especially late-term abortion – is necessary to save women&#8217;s lives. Nothing could be further from the truth. I spent nine years working at a tertiary medical center. I mean, there are only certain hospitals in the country that are designated to take care of the really, really high risk pregnancies&#8230;
I was faculty at the [Albany Medical Center] hospital for nine years, and I saw hundreds of cases of really severe pregnancy complications – cancers, heart disease, intractable diabetes, out of control, toxemia pregnancy, out of control, and I saved &#8230; in those nine years, I saved hundreds of women from life-threatening pregnancies, and I did that by delivering them, by ending their pregnancy by delivery, either induction of labor or caesarean section&#8230;
And I always tell people – in all of those years, the number of babies that I was obligated to deliberately kill in the process was zero. None.</blockquote>

While Mayor Pete Buttigieg stands in line with many of his Democratic presidential peers on the issue of abortion, he is wildly out of step with the American people.
A 2018 <a href="https://news.gallup.com/poll/1576/abortion.aspx">Gallup survey</a> asked respondents whether they believed abortion should be legal or illegal “in the last three months of pregnancy.” 81% said that it should be “illegal.” 65% stated that abortion should be illegal even in the second trimester.
In 2019, Gallup asked respondents if they believed abortion was morally wrong or morally acceptable, “regardless of whether or not you think it should be legal.” 50% said it’s “morally wrong,” while 42% said it’s “morally acceptable.”

On Thursday’s episode of “The Ben Shapiro Show,” the Daily Wire editor-in-chief talks about Nancy Pelosi bizarrely berating a reporter for asking if she “hates” President Trump. Video and partial transcript below: 
Basically, according to Nancy Pelosi, it is these lawyers who came forward who changed the entire nature of the ballgame …
It did not change the nature of the ballgame. It was basically a bunch of lawyers who are Democrats who came forward and said that Trump should be impeached, and then one lawyer who apparently is also a Democrat who said Trump should not be impeached. That is not dispositive; that&#8217;s not how this works. 
So Nancy Pelosi says that, then she has this very wild moment where she&#8217;s about to walk off stage, and James Rosen, who&#8217;s a reporter formerly for Fox News, he asks her whether this is all based on hatred for Trump — because that, of course, is what Republicans and Trump have been alleging, is that this is all about personal animus, that Democrats want Trump out; this isn&#8217;t about anything that is legally based; that there is no actual crime that&#8217;s been committed here. And Nancy Pelosi turns around and starts to berating him in the most bizarre possible fashion. 
If this were a Republican, the media would be talking about how unhinged this is. If this were a Republican — if Mitch McConnell did this — the media would be talking about how McConnell had lost his cool, about how McConnell was going crazy. As it is, the media are talking about Nancy Pelosi&#8217;s righteous indignation standing up for the Constitution of the United States, but what she says here is patently nuts. Here&#8217;s Nancy Pelosi saying [paraphrasing] “No, it&#8217;s not about hatred of Trump. Also, as a Catholic, I&#8217;m offended you used the word hate in the same sentence with me.”
<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/tDec6H1jgqk?start=520" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
Really, we&#8217;re going to go here now? Seriously, it&#8217;s an attack on your religion if you say that you, a Democrat, hates the president? That you hate the president, that is an attack on your Catholicism? By the way, the convenient Catholic card is one of the more irritating points about Nancy Pelosi — a woman who backs abortion on demand, the suggestion that men can become women, and same-sex marriage sponsored by the federal government, none of which are positions of the Catholic Church.
She’s a very convenient Catholic when it comes to invoking her Catholicism for purposes of outrage. Here&#8217;s Nancy Pelosi getting very angry that anyone would suggest that this impeachment effort is about personality rather than actual crimes and misdemeanors:
<blockquote>PELOSI: I don’t hate anybody. I was raised in a Catholic house, we don’t hate anybody — not anybody in the world. Don’t you accuse me of — 
JOURNALIST: I did not accuse you. 
PELOSI: You did, you did. 
JOURNALIST: I asked a question &#8230;
PELOSI: This is about the Constitution of the United States and the facts that lead to the president&#8217;s violation of his oath of office, and as a Catholic, I resent you using the word hate in a sentence that addresses me. </blockquote>
How dare you! As a Catholic, I’m gonna call the pope over here and the pope is gonna tell you how mean you are. We&#8217;re going to get Francis in here and he&#8217;s gonna tell you that you are not allowed to use the word hate with me, Nancy Pelosi, a woman who believes that abortion should be legal all the way until birth on demand for any reason. We’ll get the pope right in here, man, right here. 
By the way, does that look like a person who doesn&#8217;t hate the president right there? Just gonna ask that — Does that seem like a person who is very calmly and solidly just pointing out the law — that she really is centered? The rest of that clip is even wilder. She starts the clip and she starts waving her hands around, talking about how the president, she thinks he’s a coward on gun control and a coward on climate change, and those are all political questions. 
But this right here, this is a matter of standing up for the Constitution. Does anyone believe this crap? No one believes this. The media are orgasming over it, of course. The media are just orgasmic — over the moon over all of it. But does it really make a difference to the American people? I would suggest probably not.

SHAPIRO: Weirdly, Nancy Pelosi Only Invokes Catholicism When It&#8217;s Convenient

On Friday, a San Francisco Superior Court judge dropped five of the standing 14 felony charges against undercover journalist David Daleiden in the so-called “Baby Body Parts” case that exposed unsavory and potentially illegal practices by abortion giant Planned Parenthood.
&#8220;Today, Thomas More Society attorneys secured the dismissal of five more felony counts, six in total, at the conclusion of the Preliminary Hearing in the California criminal case against undercover journalist David Daleiden,&#8221; the Thomas More Society, a nonprofit law firm representing Daleiden, said in a press release sent to The Daily Wire.
&#8220;Superior Court Judge Christopher Hite issued his final probable cause order today, leaving nine out of an original fifteen felony counts, to proceed to trial,&#8221; the press release explained.
Friday&#8217;s ruling concluded the preliminary hearing held in September 2019, the nonprofit said.
Peter Breen, Daleiden lawyer and Thomas More Society VP, said the legal team was &#8220;pleased&#8221; over the tossing of another five felonies, but underscored the absurdity of any of the charges holding up.
“We are very pleased by the decision today to throw out another five felony charges against David Daleiden,&#8221; Breen said in a statement to The Daily Wire.
&#8220;As to the remaining counts, we have strong defenses that we intend to vigorously pursue on appeal, until every last one of these specious felony charges are thrown out of court,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;Mr. Daleiden followed the same commonly accepted practices, including videotaping in public places, as other undercover journalists.&#8221;
&#8220;David Daleiden is being charged as a criminal for openly delivering information that the public has a right to know, information that the abortion lobby and its financially supported elected officials would rather keep hidden,&#8221; added Breen. &#8220;This prosecution by the State of California is an abuse of the justice system, and we are confident that, in the end, we will totally vindicate David.”
On November 15, Planned Parenthood was awarded nearly $2 million after Daleiden and fellow journalist Sandra Merritt recorded executives seemingly haggling over the prices of abortion baby body parts, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-journalists-who-exposed-planned-parenthoods-baby-body-parts-trade-found-guilty">The Daily Wire</a> reported.
“Undercover Journalism now comes with a $2 million price tag,” Breen said following the guilty verdict.
Breen noted that Judge William Orrick directed the jury toward the verdict by claiming the acts of journalism were not protected under the First Amendment.
“The judge (Judge William Orrick) should have told them (the jury) that Mr. Daleiden’s filming was protected by the First Amendment,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Instead, he told them the First Amendment is no defense, which is outrageous and not the law. When you have a series of unfair rulings, you can’t expect a fair verdict.&#8221;
&#8220;Judge Orrick <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/judge-in-planned-parenthood-trial-orders-guilty-verdict-against-journalist">told the jury</a> in advance of their verdict that he has decided to find Daleiden guilty of trespass during his undercover journalism. Daleiden previously lost an attempt to have Judge Orrick removed from the case, alleging he was biased against the defendants,&#8221; The Daily Wire reported.
As noted by <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2019/12/06/judge-drops-six-charges-in-kamala-harris-case-against-david-daleiden-sends-nine-to-criminal-trial/">The Federalist</a> on Friday, the case against Daleiden was initiated by then-California Attorney General Kamala Harris, who recently dropped out of the 2020 presidential election.

UPDATE: Judge Drops Five Felony Charges Against Journalist Who Exposed Planned Parenthood

On Wednesday, after Senator Kamala Harris became the latest Democratic presidential candidate to <a href="https://medium.com/@KamalaHarris/i-am-suspending-my-campaign-today-6dca8cefb252">drop out of the race</a>, following Montana Gov. Steve Bullock, Joe Sestak, Gov. Mark Sanford, Beto O’Rourke, Rep. Tim Ryan (D-OH), NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA), Washington Gov. Jay Inslee, former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper, and Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA), Wheel of Fortune host Pat Sajak offered some priceless advice for candidates who had gotten too big for their breeches.
Sajak tweeted: “Wouldn’t it be refreshing to hear someone drop out of the Presidential primaries and say, ‘I realized I didn’t have a snowball’s chance in Hell?’”

Sajak’s lance has been bursting Democrats and leftists’ bubbles for years now; in late November, having taken notice of the unhinged climate alarmists on the Left who have decided to avoid having children in order to save the planet, offered his own hilarious solution for the problem.  Sajak tweeted, “In order to save our planet, I’m asking everyone in America who’s 73-years-old or older to join me in pledging not to have any more children.”

In June 2019, Sajak issued another succinct, immortal tweet, this time targeting Democrats as he sat suffering through the Democratic presidential debate. He wrote, “This could be worse. It could be a dinner party and I could be there.”
In October 2017, in the wake of the plethora of uninformed opinions offered by self-important celebrities in response to the horrific Las Vegas massacre, he tweeted, “OK, let me explain this again: We&#8217;re celebs. We&#8217;re wiser &amp; more empathetic than you. We are famous. Please take our opinions more seriously.”
Here are some other examples of Sajak pointedly targeting the Left:

Pat Sajak Has Some Priceless Advice For Failed Presidential Candidates

Pat Sajak

Multiples reports surfaced Friday night stating that six Saudi nationals have been detained for questioning near the Naval Air Station (NAS) in Pensacola, Florida, some who allegedly filmed an alleged member of Saudi military who went on shooting spree at the base earlier in the day.
&#8220;Six other Saudi nationals were detained for questioning near the scene of the shooting, including three who were seen filming the entire incident, according to a person briefed on the initial stages of the investigation,&#8221; The New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/06/us/nas-pensacola-shooting.html">reported</a>.
Fox News <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/saudis-arrested-questioning-pensacola-shooting">reported</a> that, according to a senior U.S. official, &#8220;the suspects were taken into custody and are being questioned about the shooting.&#8221;
The attacker killed three other people and wounded several others, including two police officers, in what authorities are investigating as a potential act of terrorism. The attacker was killed at the scene.
&#8220;The Pentagon told CBS News that the shooter had been in the country since August 2017 pursuant to a U.S. Air Force Foreign Military Sales training case funded by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and that he was scheduled to stay until August 2020,&#8221; CBS News <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/pensacola-shooting-today-3-people-killed-shooter-dead-at-florida-navy-base-nas-pensacola-2019-12-06/">reported</a>. &#8220;He was enrolled in English, basic aviation, and initial pilot training at the station, the Pentagon added.&#8221;
Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) said on Friday that the alleged attacker did not commit murder, but an act of terrorism.
“Major news organizations are now reporting the information that we began to learn earlier this morning that it was a Saudi Arabian military official in Pensacola, in our community for training, who committed these murderous acts and this terrible, terrible violence at NAS Pensacola,” Gaetz said. “I think it’s important for us to know a little bit about why Saudi Arabian officials are in our community.”
“This event represents a serious failure in the vetting process and in the way in which we invite these people into our community,” Gaetz continued. “So today, as we learn more as the investigation continues to unfold … I’m going to be very active in working with the Department of Defense and the Department of State to ensure that we have extreme vetting for the people that come into our country on our bases and in our communities.”
&#8220;If this were a murder, it would typically be investigated by NCIS &#8230; but this was not a murder,&#8221; Gaetz later added. &#8220;This was an act of terrorism and as we speak the investigation is being handed over from the NCIS to the FBI, that is the signal that this will now be treated by our government as an act of terrorism, not a murder.&#8221;

A military wife and her husband bought a baby bouncer from Goodwill as a present for a baby shower, unaware of what else was inside the box, and when the father-to-be saw what was inside, he couldn’t contain his excitement over what else he found inside: a Mossberg 715T semi-automatic .22LR rifle.
As <a href="https://www.fox35orlando.com/news/florida-couple-buys-baby-bouncer-at-goodwill-finds-semi-automatic-rifle-inside">Fox 35 Orlando</a> reports, Veronica Alvarez-Rodriguez found a Baby Einstein baby bouncer selling for $9.99, so she bought it. She said later that the gun wasn&#8217;t loaded and the chamber was locked, but the magazine inside the box was loaded.
The father-to-be, delighted, reacted to the unexpected gift by chortling, “You guys got me a gun!&#8221;
Alvarez-Rodriguez <a href="https://www.facebook.com/veronicagarcia.alvarezrodriguez/posts/2627397007381683">posted on Facebook:</a>
<blockquote>When you go to the Goodwill for a baby shower gift thinking you got a good deal on a bouncer ($10) not even opened and you end up opening a 🔫MOSSBERG 715T Semi-Auto Rifle.

The <a href="https://www.nwfdailynews.com/news/20191203/gun-found-in-baby-shower-present-bought-at-valparaiso-goodwill">Northwest Florida Daily News</a> stated, “An officer came to the shower and checked the couple’s IDs to make to ensure they were not convicted felons, according to Maj. Andrew Schneider, public information officer for the Crestview PD. The responding officer initially allowed the father-to-be to keep the gun while the incident was under investigation. But the next day, police asked him to turn the gun over to the Crestview Police Department.”

The police department said the family who received the gun contacted them, and voluntarily relinquished the weapon for investigation.”
<a href="https://www.sportsmansoutdoorsuperstore.com/products2.cfm/ID/99180/37204/mossberg-715t-tactical-22lr-rimfire-rifle">Sportsmans Outdoors Superstore</a> says of the Mossberg:
<blockquote>Unlike many other tactical .22s, Mossberg has differentiated themselves by going with a A2-style (carry handle) receiver instead of the A3-style. The Mossberg 715T Tactical has A2 front and rear sights, and the carry handle includes a picatinny rail if you want to mount optics. Most tactical .22s have a 16 inch barrel, but Mossberg decided to go with an 18 inch barrel for a better sight radius and a more traditional look.</blockquote>
Alvarez-Rodriguez told <a href="https://www.fox35orlando.com/">FOX 35 News</a>, &#8220;Total shock for us. But also hilarious and just glad it came into safe hands with all of our husbands being military.&#8221;
She concluded, “Goodwill has the best treasures for $9.99.”

Leftist Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg agreed on Friday to put a temporary administrative hold on Democrats&#8217; efforts to gain access to President Donald Trump&#8217;s tax records.
The move by Ginsburg came after Trump asked the nation&#8217;s highest court to temporarily halt two subpoenas for his financial records from House Democrats to Deutsche Bank and Capital One.
CNBC <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2019/12/06/trump-brings-a-third-case-over-his-financial-records-to-the-supreme-court.html">reported</a> that Trump application &#8220;was submitted to Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg because she is assigned to the 2nd Circuit.&#8221;
CNN Supreme Court reporter Shimon Prokupecz <a href="https://twitter.com/ShimonPro/status/1203091275685212160">noted</a> that Ginsburg&#8217;s order &#8220;reflects that the court wants more time before deciding whether or not to block the House subpoenas.&#8221;
In her order, Ginsburg wrote:
<blockquote>UPON CONSIDERATION of the application of counsel for the applicants,
IT IS ORDERED that the mandate of the United States Supreme Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, case No. 19-1540, issued December 3, 2019, is hereby recalled and stayed until 5 p.m. on December 13, 2019. It is further ordered that a response be filed on or before December 11, 2019 by 11 a.m.</blockquote>
Politico <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2019/12/06/trump-supreme-court-tax-returns-077263">reported</a>, &#8220;Trump-related requests are piling up at the Supreme Court — and the outcomes could set precedent on significant questions related to separation-of-power issues and whether a president is immune from state-based criminal investigations while in office.&#8221;
&#8220;Trump’s lawyers asked the high court to put a hold a Dec. 3 ruling by Manhattan-based 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals directing the two banks to comply with April subpoenas by the House of Representatives Financial Services Committee and Intelligence Committee for the financial records,&#8221; CNBC said in a separate <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2019/12/06/justice-ginsburg-puts-temporary-hold-on-trump-financial-records-dispute.html">report</a>. &#8220;The material sought by the committees includes records of accounts, transactions and investments linked to Trump, his three oldest children, their immediate family members and several Trump Organization entities.&#8221;
The Financial Services and Intelligence committees have said they are investigating potential money laundering crimes to which the president has strongly denied any wrongdoing.
The move by Democrats comes as they continue their efforts to impeach him over a July 25 phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, a call in which Democrats claim that Trump engaged in a quid pro quo with Ukraine by suggesting that U.S. military aid to the nation was contingent on Ukraine opening up investigations into Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden.
Despite Democrats’ allegations, multiple witnesses in their public impeachment hearings on the House Intelligence Committee, including <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEyaUW9UvAY&amp;feature=youtu.be">Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/RNCResearch/status/1196955065782800385">Senior NSC official Tim Morrison</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/RNCResearch/status/1196955065782800385">Ambassador Kurt Volker</a>, and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ambassador-sondland-strikes-at-democrats-impeachment-narrative-trump-told-me-he-wanted-no-quid-pro-quo">Ambassador</a> <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/rep-mike-turner-gets-witness-to-admit-bombshell-debunks-cnn-headline-in-real-time">Gordon Sondland</a> have all testified that there was no quid pro quo during Trump’s call with Zelensky.
Lieutenant General Keith Kellogg, who is Vice President Mike Pence’s National Security Adviser, released a statement last month stating that he was on the call and nothing improper happened: “I was on the much-reported July 25 call between President Donald Trump and President Zelensky. As an exceedingly proud member of President Trump’s Administration and as a 34-year highly experienced combat veteran who retired with the rank of Lieutenant General in the Army, I heard nothing wrong or improper on the call. I had and have no concerns.”

Ruth Bader Ginsburg Halts Democrats’ Attempts To Get Trump Financial Records

Adam Baldwin, the award-winning narrator and actor who starred in &#8220;Full Metal Jacket,&#8221; will perform a dramatic reading of Inspector General Michael Horowitz’ report outlining the origins of the FBI’s investigation into the Trump campaign. 
The report, which will be released on Monday, December 9, will explain the origins of the notorious FISA warrant that began the Russia investigation, and explore the other ways the FBI monitored Trump. 
The performance will be produced by Phelim McAleer and Ann McElhinney as a series of podcast episodes in the “verbatim” genre, according to a press release obtained by the Daily Wire. In the verbatim genre, readers narrate stories using the words of official reports and investigations.
Previous IG reports have consisted of as many as sixteen chapters, and the Baldwin rendition will make each chapter of the report its own episode. 
“This is a report that’s going to tell you the truth,” Mollie Hemingway, a senior editor at The Federalist, told McAleer in a <a href="https://youtu.be/atxuzQtyDJs">podcast interview</a> announcing the project. 
Hemingway was an early skeptic of the Russia collusion theory, and explains that the report will expose what high-level FBI officials, such as Comey, Strzok and Page, were doing “behind closed doors.”
Although information about what the IG report will contain is limited, the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-fbi-official-under-criminal-investigation-for-altering-document-used-to-start-probe-into-trump-campaign">Daily Wire</a> reported last month that “an FBI official is under criminal investigation for allegedly altering a document that was central to the FBI’s surveillance of a Trump campaign official in 2016.”
The <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/27/us/politics/fbi-trump-campaign-inspector-general.html?smtyp=cur&amp;smid=tw-nytimes">New York Times</a> has since reported that “sources familiar with a draft” of the report say that Trump and his supporters will be largely disappointed with the findings, revealing that the “Justice Department’s inspector general found no evidence that the F.B.I. attempted to place undercover agents or informants inside Donald J. Trump’s campaign in 2016.”
As reported by the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/nyt-ig-found-fbi-didnt-spy-on-trump-campaign-heres-how-that-fits-with-our-past-report-on-undercover-agent-meeting-with-trump-aide">Daily Wire</a>, the Times previously said that the FBI tried to get information out of Trump campaign officials, but has since emphasized that agents weren’t “seeking inside campaign information or a role in the organization.”
Neither the Daily Wire nor the Times has reviewed a draft of the IG report. 

McAleer has gained notoriety for telling stories that few others dare to tell. In 2017, McAleer and McElhinney published “Gosnell: The Untold Story of America’s Most Prolific Serial Killer,” a book about the prominent Philadelphia abortionist who was convicted of murdering infants born alive. 
Within the “verbatim” genre, McAleer is perhaps best known for FERGUSON, a dramatic reading that uses court records to show the events that led to the death of Michael Brown. The goal of the play was to tell audiences the truth, and provide an understanding as to why the Department of Justice found that officer Darren Wilson was justified in shooting Brown. 
Baldwin has previously been nominated for awards in narration, specifically for his reading of Larry Coreia’s science-fiction audiobook, “The Adventures of Tom Stranger: Interdimensional Insurance Agent.”
“We couldn’t have a better voice,” says McElhinney. “This is the guy that you want to hear.”
Anyone interested in receiving a notification when the first podcast episode of “The Inspector General’s Report” is available can sign up at the <a href="https://mailchi.mp/9110e2218621/heartheigreport">project’s website</a>. Watch the podcast announcement video below.

EXCLUSIVE: Adam Baldwin To Narrate Upcoming IG Report Exposing Deep State Meddling

On Friday evening, Judge Kim Cooks was recused from her role in the case surrounding the custody of alleged &#8220;transgender&#8221; seven-year-old James Younger.
In October, Judge Cooks ruled Texas father Jeffrey Younger has a say in the boy&#8217;s gender “transition,” which is being facilitated by the James&#8217; mother and Younger’s ex-wife, Dr. Anne Georgulas, a pediatrician. Younger is in staunch opposition to the gender transition, contending that his son is a healthy boy and not a girl named &#8220;Luna&#8221; trapped in a boy&#8217;s body.
&#8220;The judge who ruled to grant joint conservatorship to the two parents fighting over the &#8216;gender&#8217; of their seven-year-old son was recused from the case today, at the orders of another judge,&#8221; <a href="https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/breaking-judge-who-ruled-on-7-yr-olds-gender-transition-taken-off-case">LifeSiteNews reporter Madeleine Jacob</a> said Friday.
&#8220;Judge Tena Callahan, a retired district court judge, recused Judge Kim Cooks of the 255th Dallas District Court from the <a href="https://www.lifesitenews.com/tags/tag/save+james">James Younger case</a>. Judge Cooks will not hear the motion Dr. Anne Georgulas filed to uphold the jury’s original decision, which was in Georgulas’ favor,&#8221; noted Jacob.
The judge-change comes after Georgulas complained about Judge Cooks and filed a motion seeking to remove her from the case, as noted by <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/update-7-year-old-boy-whose-mom-claims-hes-trans-opts-to-go-to-school-as-boy">The Daily Wire</a> in November:
<blockquote>&#8220;According to <a href="https://www.dallasnews.com/news/politics/2019/11/06/mother-in-dallas-7-year-old-transgender-child-custody-case-calls-for-judges-recusal/?fbclid=IwAR2c6_OgYz8sJF_7W7fRCQUQpRVQZodFaRTck2xj5djICrbalv6WhYhGw48">The Dallas Morning News</a>, Georgulas is now seeking to have Judge Cooks recused and filed a motion &#8216;to conform to the jury’s verdict granting the mother sole custody&#8217; of James and Jude.
According to Georgulas, Judge Cooks should be recused for posting about the case on social media. The female judge shared a post from The Dallas Morning News a friend has shared, and captioned it with: &#8216;The Governor nor any legislature had any influence on the Court’s Decision.'&#8221;
</blockquote>
Georgulas also filed a motion on November 5 seeking Judge Cooks’ ruling to be overturned, as noted by Jacob.
Before Cooks ruled that Younger would have a say in his son&#8217;s gender transition, the jury said there should be sole conservatorship over the boy and the Mr. Younger should not be the person with said sole conservatorship. The jury never explicitly ruled that the mother should be that person, either.
&#8220;The motion filed by Dr. Georgulas’ lawyer argues that, &#8216;only one option exists &#8230; Anne Georgulas should be named the sole managing conservator,'&#8221; reported Jacob.
Last month, folks close to the Youngers posted photos of James and his twin brother, both dressed as boys. (Younger and Georgulas were hit with gag-orders following Judge Cooks&#8217; October ruling.)
“Going to school. This is what it looks like when JAMES gets to choose!” a Facebook post from the third party said, showing the boys with their father. “Affirm this!”
“Also, a photo taken yesterday, just before church. James and Jude proud to be men!” the post added. “Save James, save thousands of children!”
In an update, it was noted that Mr. Younger emailed the principal on Monday “and James and Jude’s teachers had reported that there was zero stress or disruptions in the classroom today.”
“Just another day in school[.] Prayers answered,” the update said.

Judge Who Ruled Father Of James Younger Has Say In Son’s ‘Transition’  REMOVED From Case After Mother&#8217;s Complaint

There must be something about the Christmas season that brings the Melania Trump haters out in force. Between the attacks on her White House decor and her fashion choices, the first lady just never seems to escape them.
After a Washington Post fashion critic trashed Melania for wearing a white coat in the video debuting this year&#8217;s Christmas decorations, another columnist with the newspaper argued that the first lady may be seeing &#8220;coded messages&#8221; through her fashion choices.
In an <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/is-melania-trump-sending-coded-messages-or-are-we-just-talking-to-ourselves/2019/12/05/98bf304c-1543-11ea-a659-7d69641c6ff7_story.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">article</a> published on Thursday, writer Monica Hesse wondered aloud if Melania has attempted to make her fashion &#8220;mean something.&#8221; She based her argument on an upcoming biography from CNN&#8217;s Kate Bennett, titled &#8220;Free, Melania.&#8221;
&#8220;Is Melania Trump sending coded messages, or are we just talking to ourselves?&#8221; the story&#8217;s headline reads before segueing into gross speculation about Melania&#8217;s choice of outfits.
<div>
&#8220;After years of examining the first lady, for example, Bennett has concluded that there are no sartorial “coincidences” when it comes to Melania. She believes Melania’s suffragist white suits are intentional,&#8221; argued Hesse. &#8220;Melania’s &#8216;<a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/business/wp/2016/10/11/melania-trumps-pussy-bow-blouse-has-nearly-sold-out/?tid=lk_inline_manual_8">pussy bow&#8217;</a> blouse, famously worn after the release of President Trump’s leaked &#8216;Access Hollywood&#8217; footage, was intentional. Pants? Intentional, and potentially chosen to stick it to her husband on occasions when the first couple are arguing: The president prefers women in dresses.&#8221;
As to the infamous &#8220;I really don’t care, do u?&#8221; jacket she wore when leaving to visit migrant children at the southern border, Hesse noted how Bennett&#8217;s book argued the move was meant to actually take a stab at Ivanka Trump, of all people.
</div>
<div>
&#8220;The message wasn’t referring to the situation at the border, as Melania’s detractors had accused, nor to negative press coverage, which was the explanation put forth by Melania’s camp,&#8221; continued Hesse. &#8220;Rather, the jacket was a message for . . . Ivanka Trump? Ivanka is the Zara fan, Bennett argues, and the jacket was Melania’s way of taunting her for trying to take credit for pushing her dad to end family separation.&#8221;
</div>
While Hesse concedes that this speculation into Melania Trump&#8217;s choice of fashion may be an exercise in futility, she nonetheless wants to hope that the first lady is some sort of secret leftist mole in the White House conveying subliminal messages meant to deride her husband &#8212; a beacon of hope, if you will.
&#8220;I have wondered whether Melania Trump is a genius,&#8221; Hesse wrote. &#8220;I have wondered whether she&#8217;s an idiot. I have wondered why I wonder about her at all. I am grateful this is Kate Bennett&#8217;s task, not mine, and Bennett comes down believing that Melania is an independent thinker and a wickedly intelligent operator: pragmatic, confident, warmer than she often appears and excellent with children.&#8221;
&#8220;I would like Melania Trump to mean something. I would like for her to mean something in the way that we would all like any of this chaotic era to mean anything, because the alternative is that we&#8217;re just living in chaos, in a country led by chaotic people.&#8221;
As reported by <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/washington-post-melania-trump-coded-messages">Fox News</a>, Hesse has since been getting mercilessly trolled online. The report follows a previous article from Washington Post fashion critic Robin Givhan, who <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/cold-dismissive-washington-post-blasts-first-lady-melania-for-her-coat">said</a> that the first lady&#8217;s coat worn during her Christmas video suggested a “cold, dismissive aloofness.”
“The coat looks ridiculous,” said Givhan. “But more than a silly fashion folly, the coat is a distraction. It’s a discomforting affectation taken to a ludicrous extreme. In a video that is intended to celebrate the warmth and welcoming spirit of the holiday season, that simple flourish exudes cold, dismissive aloofness.”

WaPo Columnist Says Melania Trump Is Sending ‘Coded Messages’ With Her Fashion

On Friday, CNBC’s “Mad Money” host Jim Cramer appeared on the network’s “Squawk Box” to discuss the latest unemployment numbers released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) for the month of November.
“Total nonfarm payroll employment rose by 266,000 in November. Job growth has averaged 180,000 per month thus far in 2019, compared with an average monthly gain of 223,000 in 2018. In November, notable job gains occurred in health care and in professional and technical services,” reports <a href="https://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.nr0.htm">BLS</a>.
The bureau also noted that the “seasonally adjusted” unemployment rate dipped from 3.6% in October to 3.5% in November. Last year (November 2018), the unemployment rate was 3.7% “adjusted.”
Additionally, average hourly earnings for “all employees on private nonfarm payrolls” are up 86 cents from November 2018 ($27.43 to $28.29).
After noting that there was “growth with not very much inflation,” Cramer stated that he wished people “were making more money.”
He then mentioned cable news bias pertaining to the economy:
<blockquote>There&#8217;s a fellow by the name of Michael Cembalest &#8230; he is the Chairman of Market and Investment Strategy at J.P. Morgan. He came up with a list of what the cable companies – CNN, [MSNBC] – what do they cover. 16th is positive economic news. All the rest of them are negative. So, you know what&#8217;s going on here, Joe. People don&#8217;t want to say good things, and this is the best number I&#8217;ve ever seen in my life!</blockquote>
Host Joe Kernan then asked Cramer “how can it last forever?”
Cramer replied, speaking directly about the ongoing trade war with China:
<blockquote>It has to go up, Joe, because when we win the trade war, which you now know we&#8217;re going to win now because we have the better numbers, then they&#8217;re going to have to put jobs here. That&#8217;s what they&#8217;re going to have to do. And we&#8217;re not even talking about that yet. In the end, the Chinese are going to have to put jobs here. Because this thing is – the president can walk away from the table with this number.</blockquote>
After Kernan stated that Americans won’t “see that written or said anywhere,” Cramer responded, saying the “truth sets people free.”
Cramer added:
<blockquote>You can&#8217;t contradict that these are the best numbers of our lives. &#8230; I don&#8217;t see inflation; I don&#8217;t see recession. 50 years ago that number was a curse, now it&#8217;s a blessing. And you know something, Joe? It doesn&#8217;t matter whether you hate [Trump] or like him, these are real numbers.</blockquote>

On Wednesday, J.P. Morgan’s Michael Cembalest published a piece covering a variety of finial topics. In the piece, as Cramer stated on “Squawk Box,” Cembalest <a href="https://am.jpmorgan.com/blobcontent/1383651198191/83456/12-04-2019%20-%20War%20of%20the%20Worlds_AMV.pdf">charted</a> the coverage of four cable news shows (CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360” and “Cuomo Prime Time,” and MSNBC’s “Rachel Maddow Show” and “Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell”) over the course of one year (September 2018 &#8211; September 2019).
What Cembalest and his team found was that “positive economic news” came in 16th place under the “number of times [a] topic [was] discussed in depth” metric, below the following:
<blockquote>Mueller investigation/Russian interference
Trump is inept/erratic/mendacious/biased
Asylum and immigration
Trump Administration corruption
Presidential politics
Supreme Court
Natural disasters
Gun violence
International relations
Senate/Governors Races
North Korea
Trade war
Data privacy
Climate change
Opioids and prescription drug pricing</blockquote>
This isn’t surprising to anyone who follows this type of thing closely. As The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-former-msnbc-host-says-networks-coverage-frank-camp">previously reported</a>:
<blockquote>According to a report from the <a href="https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/rich-noyes/2019/01/15/networks-trashed-trump-90-negative-spin-2018-did-it-matter">Media Research Center</a> (MRC), from January 2017 through December 2018, 90% of the coverage of President Trump from the major network evening news programs (ABC, CBS, NBC) has been negative, while just 10% has been positive. The analysis excludes “neutral statements.”
MRC states: “To determine the spin of news coverage, our analysts tallied all explicitly evaluative statements about the President or his administration from either reporters, anchors or non-partisan sources such as experts or voters. Evaluations from partisan sources, as well as neutral statements, were not included.”
Of the 858 minutes spent by the big three networks’ evening newscasts discussing the Trump/Russia collusion story in 2018, 98% was “negative,” according to the MRC analysis. Of the 643 minutes covering immigration and the border, 94% was “negative.” The least negative of the big five “Trump-bashing” stories that received hundreds of minutes of airtime pertained to North Korea (410 minutes; 80% “negative”).</blockquote>

Thumbs up Trump.

CNBC’s Jim Cramer On Jobs Report: ‘Doesn’t Matter Whether You Hate’ Trump, These Are The ‘Best Numbers Of Our Lives’

Jim Cramer

Speaking to <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2019/12/04/uk/sadiq-khan-donald-trump-nato-gbr-intl-ge19">CNN</a>, the mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, insinuated President Trump is a white racist, saying, &#8220;The concern that we have is &#8230; when President Trump talks about America First — does he really mean white America first? That&#8217;s a big concern for many of us.&#8221;
Khan added of Trump that &#8220;on many, many occasions &#8230; gives us the impression that all he cares about is white America … When you see &#8230; the President of the USA calling people rapists because they happen to be Mexican, having a travel ban against people of my faith, that leads to huge concerns across the world.”
Referencing UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage, Khan continued, &#8220;You&#8217;ve got politicians in the UK and those in the far-right copying Donald Trump. There are people here who mimic him and copy him and he gives them succor. He gives them confidence and views that used to be in the periphery, people who used to be in the margins, are in the mainstream … In Hungary, look at Orban. In Poland, look at Duda, in Italy, look at Salvini, in France, look at Le Pen.&#8221;
CNN reported that Khan said Trump’s methods elicited &#8220;fears being stoked against minority communities … It&#8217;s the very opposite of what NATO is all about … It&#8217;s the very opposite of what the EU is all about. The very opposite of the multi-lateralism that the US and the UK have led on for the last 70 years.&#8221;
Khan has been an outspoken foe of Trump for some time; in June 2019, he <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/london-mayor-sadiq-khan-trump-six-foot-three-child-paul-bois">called Trump</a> a six-foot-three child. Speaking at the Together for Education event at Central Hall in Westminster, Khan mocked, &#8220;For those of you that have your phones on, if somebody starts tweeting about me – a 6ft 3 child in the White House – can you let me know?&#8221;
In an op-ed he wrote in <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/jun/01/donald-trump-state-visit-red-carpet-unbritish">The Observer</a> the same month, Khan asserted:
<blockquote>Donald Trump is just one of the most egregious examples of a growing global threat. The far right is on the rise around the world, threatening our hard-won rights and freedoms and the values that have defined our liberal, democratic societies for more than seventy years &#8230; And they are gaining ground and winning power and influence in places that would have been unthinkable just a few years ago.</blockquote>
In July 2017, Khan <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/4042548/sadiq-khan-says-donald-trump-should-not-get-the-full-state-visit-treatment-and-warns-uk-wont-roll-out-the-red-carpet-for-him/">said</a> Trump should not get a full state visit to the UK, stating, “State visits are different from a normal visit and at a time when the President of the USA has policies that many in our country disagree with, I am not sure it is appropriate for our government to roll out the red carpet. If you somehow think it is not possible to be a Muslim and a proud westerner I am happy to disabuse you of that idea, whether you are a reporter for CNN or Donald Trump.&#8221;
After becoming mayor, Khan <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2019/06/03/long-bitter-feud-between-trump-london-mayor-sadiq-khan/">told the BBC</a>, “Donald Trump’s ignorant view of Islam could make both our countries less safe: It risks alienating mainstream Muslims around the world and plays into the hands of the extremists.”

London Mayor Sediq Khan Implies Trump Is A White Racist

Authorities say the man responsible for a mass shooting at a naval air station in Pensacola on Friday morning is a Saudi national who was attending flight school at the base. A few hours after the shooting, which officials say they are investigating as a potential terror attack, Saudi Arabia&#8217;s King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud called President Trump to disavow the suspect&#8217;s &#8220;barbaric&#8221; actions.
Just before 7 a.m. on Friday morning, a gunman (whose name is here withheld according to Daily Wire policy on naming mass shooters) opened fire in a classroom in the center of the campus of Pensacola&#8217;s Naval Air Base. The suspect wounded ten people, three of whom died, before he was shot dead by sheriff&#8217;s deputies.
Amid reports that the shooter was a Saudi national, Trump tweeted out statements on the latest developments, including his conversations with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and with Saudi Arabia&#8217;s King Salman.
&#8220;Just received a full briefing on the tragic shooting at NAS Pensacola in Florida, and spoke to [Gov. DeSantis],&#8221; Trump tweeted a few hours after the attack Friday. &#8220;My thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families during this difficult time. We are continuing to monitor the situation as the investigation is ongoing.&#8221;
Trump then retweeted a post from Florida Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz providing updates on the situation. Gaetz has been giving the public updates on the situation throughout the day, including reports that the suspect was allegedly a &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-attacker-at-florida-military-base-was-member-of-saudi-military-was-an-act-of-terrorism-congressman-says">Saudi Arabian military official</a>.&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
NAS Pensacola is a huge source of pride for all of Northwest Florida. It is the home of naval aviation. It is the home of the Blue Angels. In our home, this is who we are.
Thank you for keeping Pensacola in your hearts and in your prayers as we deal with this difficult day. <a href="https://t.co/PcvS70GcQh">pic.twitter.com/PcvS70GcQh</a>
&mdash; Rep. Matt Gaetz (@RepMattGaetz) <a href="https://twitter.com/RepMattGaetz/status/1202987933130743814?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 6, 2019</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
&nbsp;
About two hours later, Trump posted a pair of tweets summarizing his call with King Salman, who condemned the individual who committed the heinous crime and expressed his sympathy for the victims and their families.
&#8220;King Salman of Saudi Arabia just called to express his sincere condolences and give his sympathies to the families and friends of the warriors who were killed and wounded in the attack that took place in Pensacola, Florida,&#8221; Trump wrote. &#8220;The King said that the Saudi people are greatly angered by the barbaric actions of the shooter, and that this person in no way shape or form represents the feelings of the Saudi people who love the American people.&#8221;
Along with appearing on news outlets to discuss the shooting, Rep. Gaetz posted a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-attacker-at-florida-military-base-was-member-of-saudi-military-was-an-act-of-terrorism-congressman-says">video message</a> Friday citing reports that the shooter was a Saudi Arabian military official and calling for a more thorough vetting process for officials from other countries that could similarly pose a risk to Americans.
&#8220;Major news organizations are now reporting the information that we began to learn earlier this morning that it was a Saudi Arabian military official in Pensacola, in our community for training, who committed these murderous acts and this terrible, terrible violence at NAS Pensacola,&#8221; says Gaetz in the video post (below). &#8220;I think it’s important for us to know a little bit about why Saudi Arabian officials are in our community.&#8221;
&#8220;Training is a critical part of the mission that we engage in in NAS Pensacola,&#8221; he continues. &#8220;One way that we leverage that training is to ensure that our allies around the world are capable and familiar with U.S. systems, that they’re comfortable working with U.S. officers, and that we have an interoperability in our lexicon and in the way we engage in battle.&#8221;
&#8220;This event represents a serious failure in the vetting process and in the way in which we invite these people into our community,&#8221; he asserts. &#8220;So today, as we learn more as the investigation continues to unfold … I’m going to be very active in working with the Department of Defense and the Department of State to ensure that we have extreme vetting for the people that come into our country on our bases and in our communities.&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
We&#39;re learning a Saudi Arabian military member in Pensacola committed these murders.

Trump Posts Update On Call With Saudi King After Saudi National Opens Fire At Pensacola Base

Florida

At least one LGBTQ advocate has expressed dismay over the fact that failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton denied rumors of ever having a lesbian affair.
Earlier this week, shock jock Howard Stern pushed more than a few of Hillary&#8217;s buttons when he asked rather forthrightly on his radio show if the former first lady secretly swings for the other team.
“Well, contrary to what you might hear, I actually like men,” <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/howard-stern-asks-hillary-to-go-on-the-record-youve-never-had-lesbian-affair">Hillary told Stern</a>.
“Raise your right hand,” responded Stern. “You’ve never had a lesbian affair.”
“Never, never, never!” Clinton said as she began laughing. “Never even been tempted. I dated a lot of different people, and I liked a lot of them. I was pretty popular. I was OK popular … boys were not my problem.”
Speaking with <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/feature/nbc-out/hillary-clinton-puts-lesbian-rumors-bed-never-even-been-tempted-n1096021" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">NBC News</a>, reporter Trish Bendix, a member of the National Lesbian and Gay Journalists Association and winner of the 2015 Sarah Pettit Memorial Award for excellence in LGBT media, said she did not appreciate how lesbianism came across as salacious. She took particular issue with Hillary&#8217;s use of the word &#8220;tempted.&#8221;
“It&#8217;s so frustrating when public figures like Hillary feel the need to dispel lesbian rumors in a way that equates lesbianism or queerness with salaciousness, and that&#8217;s ultimately what I dislike about the way she phrased it,” Bendix said.
“I think there&#8217;s a way to refute untrue ideas about one&#8217;s own identity without saying something damaging to others,” Bendix said.
As noted by <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/hillary-clinton-lesbian-denial-howard-stern-lgbtq">Fox News</a>, Gabriel Hays of Media Research Center mocked the idea of Hillary getting scolded for not being &#8220;woke enough&#8221; when talking about her sexuality.
“Tsk tsk, Hillary. The former presidential candidate is taking heat for her response to old rumors about her being a lesbian,&#8221; Hays wrote. “And while we’re not bashing her for her sexuality, it’s a hilarious predicament for the woman who fancies herself a de facto leader of the Left.”
Hillary Clinton&#8217;s interview with Howard Stern <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/hillary-is-still-thinking-about-running-in-2020/">has indeed sparked rumors</a> over whether or not she plans to jump into the 2020 presidential race while the water is still warm and the supposedly top-tier candidates flounder. In fact, earlier this year, Howard Stern <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-howard-stern-says-hillary-clinton-would-be-paul-bois">openly stated</a> that Hillary made a mistake by not joining his show during the 2016 election, arguing it would have made her more relatable.
“I thought that if I did an interview with Hillary, … she would reach a new audience,” Stern told Stephen Colbert this past May.
Stern noted his potential listenership of 66 million people and how the election had hinged <a href="https://www.axios.com/hillary-clinton-2016-election-votes-supreme-court-liberal-justice-1b4bc4fc-9fad-44b4-ab54-9ef86aa9c1f1.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-rapid-parsed="slk" data-ylk="subsec:paragraph;cpos:3;elm:context_link;itc:0">on less than 80,000 votes</a> across Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin — states where his show is popular.
“What if Hillary had come on and, forget politics for a second, but what if we could have talked about her humanity, why she got into public service?” Stern wondered aloud.
“Here is a woman who dedicated her whole life to public service,” Stern continued. “What was her life like as a little girl growing up? What was her romance with Bill Clinton? What was she thinking when she was secretary of state? What was she thinking when she was the first lady? Was she saying to herself, ‘I wish I could be president,’ or was she satisfied with that? There were a million questions I could have asked her that I think would have humanized her.”

Top Democrats called for restricting Americans&#8217; constitutionally protected Second Amendment rights on Friday in response to an alleged Saudi Arabian military official opening fire and killing several people at a U.S. naval base in Florida.
Several of the 2020 Democrat presidential candidates, including a couple of the top-tier contenders, rushed to politicize the attack.
<ul>
<li>Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) <a href="https://twitter.com/ewarren/status/1202980913296089090">tweeted</a>: &#8220;Pearl Harbor. Pensacola. Not even our military bases are safe from gun violence. I&#8217;m heartsick for the victims and their families. We must end this epidemic and protect the lives of our service members.&#8221;</li>
<li>South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg <a href="https://twitter.com/PeteButtigieg/status/1202991768700100608">tweeted</a>: &#8220;While we wait for more information, my thoughts are with the victims and their families. Service members and the dedicated civilians who support them deserve nothing less than safety on American soil and communities free from gun violence. Enough.&#8221;</li>
<li>Former San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro <a href="https://twitter.com/JulianCastro/status/1203010902536138752">tweeted</a>: &#8220;Not even our military bases are safe from mass shootings. From Pearl Harbor to Pensacola, gun violence is destroying our communities. My deepest condolences to the grieving families. This can&#8217;t be the world we want our kids to grow up in. We must act.&#8221;</li>
<li>Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) tweeted: &#8220;The shooting in Pensacola has wounded several people and taken the lives of at least three victims. This is the second shooting to happen this week at a Navy base. As we learn more about the situation, there’s one thing we know: Gun violence just has to stop.&#8221;</li>
<li>Marianne Williamson, who is surprisingly still in the race, <a href="https://twitter.com/marwilliamson/status/1203003890804953088">tweeted</a>: &#8220;What will it take to wage peace? It will take outer work and it will also take inner work. It will take regulating our guns and it will also take regulating our hearts.&#8221;</li>
</ul>
In-depth profile pieces on the 2020 Democratic presidential candidates from Daily Wire Editor-at-Large Josh Hammer have previously highlighted the gun policies of the aforementioned candidates:
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/where-does-elizabeth-warren-stand-issues-heres-josh-hammer">Warren</a>:  Warren has frequently supported gun control policies that would infringe upon Americans’ Second American rights. She supports expanded background checks, limitations or bans on certain weapons and magazines that are currently in wide distribution, and supports controversial “red flag” gun legislation. Warren supports a ban on the undefinable sub-class of firearms referred to as so-called “assault weapons” — a line of thought that, if taken to its logical conclusion, could <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/42837/hammer-kamala-harriss-flirtation-banning-all-semi-josh-hammer">lead to the banning of all semi-automatic firearms in America</a>.</li>
<li><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/where-does-pete-buttigieg-stand-issues-heres-josh-hammer">Buttigieg</a>: Buttigieg supports “universal” background checks, thereby requiring a government intermediary for all private transfers of firearms. He is a member of Mayors Against Illegal Guns, a consortium of pro-gun control mayors. Buttigieg supports a <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/buttigieg-endorses-nationwide-gun-licensing-system">national gun registry</a>, which is a longstanding policy nemesis of Second Amendment supporters. He supports banning the undefinable sub-class of firearms referred to as so-called “assault weapons” — a line of thought that, if taken to its logical conclusion, could <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/42837/hammer-kamala-harriss-flirtation-banning-all-semi-josh-hammer">lead to the banning of all semi-automatic firearms in America</a>.</li>
<li><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/where-does-julian-castro-stand-issues-heres-josh-hammer">Castro</a>: Castro has frequently espoused support for gun control policies that would infringe upon Americans’ Second American rights. He supports expanded background checks and limitations or bans on certain weapons and magazines that are currently in wide distribution. Castro <a href="https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/what-does-julian-castro-believe-where-the-candidate-stands-on-8-issues">supports a ban</a> on the undefinable sub-class of firearms referred to as so-called “assault weapons” — a line of thought that, if taken to its logical conclusion, could <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/42837/hammer-kamala-harriss-flirtation-banning-all-semi-josh-hammer">lead to the banning of all semi-automatic firearms in America</a>.</li>
<li><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/where-does-amy-klobuchar-stand-issues-heres-josh-hammer">Klobuchar</a>: Despite her representation of a largely rural state, Klobuchar has a historically poor record on Second Amendment issues. Klobuchar supports “universal” background checks, which often serve as a rhetorical euphemism for the government serving as an intermediary in all private firearms transfers. She <a href="https://amyklobuchar.com/issues/a-safer-world/">supports</a> a ban on the undefinable sub-class of firearms referred to as so-called “assault weapons” — a line of thought that, if taken to its logical conclusion, could lead to the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/42837/hammer-kamala-harriss-flirtation-banning-all-semi-josh-hammer">banning of all semi-automatic firearms in America</a>.</li>
<li><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/where-does-marianne-williamson-stand-issues-heres-josh-hammer">Williamson</a>: Williamson supports <a href="http://www.marianne2020.com/issues/gun-control">many policies</a> that would infringe upon Americans’ Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms. She supports expanded background checks and limitations or bans on certain weapons and magazines that are currently in wide distribution. Williamson <a href="https://www.marianne2020.com/issues/gun-control">supports a ban</a> on the undefinable sub-class of firearms referred to as so-called “assault weapons” — a line of thought that, if taken to its logical conclusion, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/42837/hammer-kamala-harriss-flirtation-banning-all-semi-josh-hammer">could lead to the banning of all semi-automatic firearms in America</a>.</li>
</ul>
Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) said in response to the attack that the attack was not merely murder, but &#8220;an act of terrorism.&#8221;
“If this were a murder, it would typically be investigated by NCIS … but this was not a murder,” Gaetz <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-attacker-at-florida-military-base-was-member-of-saudi-military-was-an-act-of-terrorism-congressman-says">said</a>. “This was an act of terrorism and as we speak the investigation is being handed over from the NCIS to the FBI, that is the signal that this will now be treated by our government as an act of terrorism, not a murder.”
“Major news organizations are now reporting the information that we began to learn earlier this morning that it was a Saudi Arabian military official in Pensacola, in our community for training, who committed these murderous acts and this terrible, terrible violence at NAS Pensacola,” Gaetz added. “This event represents a serious failure in the vetting process and in the way in which we invite these people into our community. So today, as we learn more as the investigation continues to unfold … I’m going to be very active in working with the Department of Defense and the Department of State to ensure that we have extreme vetting for the people that come into our country on our bases and in our communities.”
