  1. When President Trump pardons the January 6 hostages and the lockstep liberal Democrat media starts with their usual manufactured outrage I hope Trump reminds them there were no child rapists, mass murderers and chronic thieves to pardon since Biden already pardoned them…

  2. BTW. Yesterday our media felt it necessary to resurrect events of four years ago by constantly reminding viewers of the “insurrection” during yesterdays newscasts. People who were jailed referred to as “convicted insurrectionists”. NOT ONE was charged nor convicted with insurrection. All were convicted of a myriad of charges related to rioting in the capital. I’m hoping some enterprising attorney reaches out to file slander lawsuits against the media for referring to jailed protesters as ” convicted insurrectionists”. If the media feels it necessary to pound home the lie then let them pay for it.

  3. Unbelievable that China Joe would
    Award the Medal of Freedom to Hillary Benghazi Clinton and George Soros. Soros prosecutors like Kim Foxx did more to
    destroy the rule of law in America than any other group. China Joe is giving America the middle finger on his way out
    The door. If he can find the door.

    1. I agree. These awards are inane and cheapen them … much as the Nobel peace prize was cheapened when awarded to Barack Obama for doing nothing. The real issue – the issue that actually hurts – is the lame duck old fool is trying to tie Mr Trump’s hands when he issue an order that ties up over 600 million acres from oil and gas exploration. Since it is tied to 1950s legislation it is going to be one hell of a fight to reverse. The idea though of a lame duck President handcuffing a future administration – on purpose – is really disgusting … and hopefully unconstitutional (and that is the issue).

  4. 1) I respect your rule that the U.S. President is not eligible for the Golden Moutza and will honor it however, I’m extremely happy you said we can make fun of the current president. Biden has been a terrible president and deserves to be criticized.
    2) I heard on WBBM radio this morning that Zuckerberg is making a change on Facebook and going to stop fact checking and reduce censorship for political views. They still may put a cautionary note on some things but allegedly they will allow the post. I’m pretty sure this is due to Trump winning the election & he’s trying to avoid retribution from Trump but, if true, it’s progress.

  5. Γιάννη,
    Χρόνια πολλά για την γιορτή σου σήμερα!! Happy namesday!
    Joe mumbles just demeaned the medal of freedom by awarding it to lefty socialists – a real travesty. Might as well give one to Putin, Xi and Kim Jong Un as well – while he’s at it!! BTW – I prefer hot buttered rum, even though surgeon general says booze will kill us! Θεός φυλαξη!!!
    Happy new year!!I
