An interesting choice now presents itself for Democrat supporters, Tom Perez or Keith Ellison?  The Bernie Sanders wing (Anarchists, RevCom, SJW) of the party supports Keith Ellison, the Obama/Clinton wing (Moonbat Limo-Liberals) will most likely support Tom Perez.  However, both options are substantially far left.

Today Labor Secretary Tom Perez announces his intention to run for Chair of the Democrat National Committee.   Perez launches a website –SEE HERE– toward that endeavor:

The last month hasn’t been easy for Democrats.  But now isn’t the time to despair – it’s time to organize and fight.  ~ Tom Perez

Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich delivers an exceptional presentation to the Heritage Foundation discussing “Trumpism”.
In typical Gingrich form he rips his way through the history of Donald Trump’s campaign for president while contrasting the various disconnects along the way.  Very well worth the time to watch.

(Via USA Today) […]  Trump told the group that his administration is “going to be here for you. You’ll call my people, you’ll call me. We have no formal chain of command around here.”
He suggested, and tech leaders agreed to, meeting quarterly, according to a person briefed on the meeting. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly.
They discussed repatriating foreign profits, reforming taxes and regulations so companies build more jobs in the U.S., building better infrastructure, and improving education, the person briefed on the meeting said. (more…)

U.S. Media outlets wonder why the average American is indifferent to their pearl-clutching anxiety over lost credibility.  With that in mind, perhaps this example is apropos on many levels. There’s a few layers to this story.
The “reporter/journalist” is Julia Ioffe.  A now fired writer for Politico, a frequent CNN guest and contributor, and a journalist recently hired by the Atlantic.

Yeah, suffice to say this representative exhibition of modern journalism does little to advance the cause of professional credibility.  However, the layers of irony only begin with the vulgarity. (more…)

Anthony Scaramucci and Stephen Miller, executive members of President-elect Donald Trump’s Transition Team, appeared on Fox News for interviews.  In a general sense the primary discussion points were Trump’s economic revitalization plans. Videos Below.
First, the Scaramucci interview.  Pay close attention at 01:30 of the first video to hear something CTH readers might be familiar with.

Yup.  Despite his semi-frequent tendency to be an annoying GOPe type, representative Peter King is correct on this one:
The John Brennan CIA claim’s are without evidence or merit and being pushed by the CIA and DNI purely for political purposes.  Hence Clapper and Brennan’s refusal to present themselves before congress for scrutiny:

It’s been more than a few months since we first began discussing the obvious internal conflict between White Hats and Black Hats within the Obama intelligence and national security agencies. Today, we see exactly how bad the fracture has become.
As further evidence of the politicization of the CIA (Central Intelligence), headed by John Brennan; and DNI (Director of National Intelligence) James Clapper, the agencies are refusing to brief congress on their claim the “Russians Hacked the U.S. Election”.

On Monday, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes sent a letter to DNI James Clapper requesting the director immediately brief congress (Friday, December 16th).  Both Clapper  and Brennan are now refusing to explain their public claims.
On November 17th Director Clapper told congress there was no basis to identify Russia’s involvement in the DNC and Podesta email leaks release by WikiLeaks in the run up to the election.
However, last week the Washington Post and New York Times claimed officials within the DNI and CIA held proof of Russia hacking the election.

Leftist media bent over backwards to push this story.  Now it’s proven false they’ll most likely ignore any follow-up.  Another Hate Hoax Accuser who made it all up:
New York –  She made it all up — and now she’s under arrest.
The Muslim college student who claimed she was harassed on the subway by three men who shouted “Donald Trump,” called her a terrorist and tried to rip her hijab off her head has admitted to detectives that she concocted the entire story, the Daily News has learned.
Yasmin Seweid, 18, has been charged with filing a false report, a police source said.
Seweid had numerous opportunities to admit the incident never happened but again and again stood by her story, the source said.  (read more)

Mr. Nigel Farage, MEP (Member of European Parliament), spoke earlier today in Brussels. Farage warned, yet again, about the contradiction of a supposed ‘democratic body’ (the EU) refusing to change policies amid the visible outcomes of Democratic Nationalism.

The underlying problem created by ideological broadcasts of Western Left-Wing media, is the resulting calcification of cynicism.
Almost every MSM presentation of the situation in Syria, specifically Aleppo, stems from an inherent disposition to apologize for, and ignore the atrocities of, the Muslim Brotherhood.
Amid the obtuse representation of the extremist minority, the ideological media create an even more dangerous situation for the average, common, non combatant Syrian.  Fortunately, one Canadian journalist speaks truth amid the propaganda:
