By The Daily Caller. . .A 67-year-old Russian man named Valery Titenko suffered a heart attack while performing his role as Father Christmas in front of kindergarteners. According to reports, Titenko was feeling chest pains earlier in the day and had recently been in poor health. However, the professional actor did not want to let the kids down by canceling.
The group of kids apparently thought that Titenko’s fatal collapse was part of his skit and began giggling. A woman dressed as a clown who was also part of the skit noticed Titenko’s fall and rushed to help him. (Read more from “Santa Claus Visits School and Dies” HERE)

Speaker of the House Paul Ryan, R-Wisc., said Thursday President Trump has told lawmakers he will not sign the Senate continuing resolution without border wall funding.
WATCH: "We just had a very long productive meeting with the president. The president informed us that he will not sign the bill that came up from the senate last evening because of his legitimate concerns for border security," Speaker Ryan says https://t.co/T1zLta3r86pic.twitter.com/wPPndACTum
House conservatives have led the fight to help Trump keep his promise and fight for a wall.
Chairman of the House Freedom Caucus Mark Meadows, R-N.C., said Thursday that now is the time to fight for President Donald Trump’s border wall, even if that means shutting down the government.
Speaking on Fox News, Meadows said that the American people believe that President Trump is receiving “bad advice” to sign a continuing resolution to fund the government through February without funding the wall. He urged Trump to veto any spending bill that doesn’t fund the wall.
“They know that he’s promised not once, not twice, but three different times that he would get border wall funding, and here we are about to punt,” Meadows said. “And I would argue it’s not a punt. A punt actually helps improve the field advantage. This is a fumble, and we need to make sure that the president stays firm.”
Meadows said that Congress failed in the first two years of Trump’s presidency to keep Republican promises on border security and the wall. He added that House conservatives want to vote on a bill appropriating $5 billion for the down payment on a border wall, but that House leadership has not moved on passing wall funding out of the House.
He dismissed concerns over a government shutdown, noting that the vast majority of the government’s essential functions will remain operational.
“If we’re not going to fight now, when are we going to fight?” Meadows said. “Are we suggesting that when the Democrats have control in February that somehow our position is going to improve? There’s no one in the West Wing that believes that. There’s no one on main street that believes that, and quite frankly now is the time to fight.” (Read more from “Trump Will Not Sign Spending Bill Without Wall Funding, After Conservatives Fought” HERE)

California police are still piecing together the events of what they call a “reign of terror” from a 36-year-old man who had already been deported from the country once.
Police say Gustavo Garcia shot a farm worker at 1 in the morning on Sunday while he was picking fruit on a ladder. The man was shot in the chest, but is expected to recover from the wound.
Garcia then committed armed robbery at the AA Gas and Grub, where he fired off some shots in the ceiling and demanded $2,000. No one was hurt at the robbery.
That evening on Sunday he shot at a woman who was sitting in her car in the parking lot of a Motel 6. She was shot in the chest area and in the arm, but her wounds are not life-threatening. . .
At 5 in the morning, police attempted to stop Garcia when they recognized his vehicle, but he drove into an orchard, stole a truck from three farmworkers, and fled from police going the wrong way on the highway.

With President Donald Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigration, Americans are paying special attention to what’s taking place in Mexico and along the southern border. An interesting discovery has just come to light: a theme park roughly 80 miles north of Mexico City, called Parque EcoAlberto, has an attraction, called “The Nightwalk,” that simulates illegally crossing into the United States.
For roughly $17 USD (or $350 Mexican pesos) a person can make a trek through the simulation. If they’re wanting an “extreme” version of the simulation, they can pay $24 USD (or $500 Mexican pesos) for an additional six hours.
According to park administrator Maribel Garcia, the goal of the simulation is to “bring awareness” to what the situation is like for those who decide to cross into the United States illegally. The amusement park was also designed to be a source of employment for those in the area, since the region previously relied on agriculture. The region failed to grow though because of its lack of roads, sewer, power and telephone systems.
“Our objective is to stop the immigration that exists amongst our citizens, principally from the state of Mexico to the U.S.,” Garcia told PBS back in 2013. “We try to help people so that they won’t leave. It’s time to create some employment, to work with our own and regenerate everything, or at least what we can, even though it might be slow going.” . . .
Here’s a promotional video that hows what the encounter is like:

Disgraced former FBI Director James Comey attacked President Donald Trump, the Republican Party, Fox News, and Americans on Monday as he complained about having to testify in front of Congress.
“So another day of Hillary Clinton’s emails and the Steele dossier,” Comey said. “This while the President of the United States is lying about the FBI, attacking the FBI and attacking the rule of law in this country. How does that make any sense at all?” . . .
“At some point, someone has to stand up and in the face of fear of Fox News, fear of their base, fear of mean tweets,” Comey said before taking questions. “Stand up for the values of this country and not slink away into retirement but stand up and speak the truth.”
“This is not about Republicans and Democrats, this is about ‘what does it mean to be an American?'” Comey declared. “What are the things that we care about? Above our policy disputes, which are important, there’s a set of values that represent the glue of this country and they are under attack … ”
“We have to stop being numb to it, whether you’re a Republican or Democrat, you need to stand on your feet, overcome your shame and say something,” Comey whined, later adding: “People who know better, including Republican members of this body, have to have the courage to stand up and speak the truth, not be cowed by mean tweets or fear of their base. There is a truth and they’re not telling it. Their silence is shameful.”

By The Blaze. A top congressional Republican predicted Sunday that special counsel Robert Mueller’s case against Michael Flynn, the former national security adviser who pled guilty to lying to the FBI, will soon be thrown out of court. . .
Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), who is retiring from Congress next month, explained on Fox News Sunday that it is his belief, and indeed that of a federal judge, that FBI investigators “violated” Flynn’s Miranda rights when they interrogated him. It’s that “misconduct” that Issa alleged would lead a judge to toss Mueller’s case against Flynn.
“I would not be surprised a bit that the conviction of Flynn is overturned because of the Justice Department and the FBI’s misconduct,” Issa said.
He further explained: “Judge Sullivan has made it pretty clear that they, in layman’s terms, violated his Miranda rights, tricked him into not having a lawyer, when, in fact, he was not only a suspect, but a target, and they had transcripts, this kind of conduct, we haven’t seen in a long time.” . . .
“In fact, we go potentially all the way to Supreme Court with new protections when the FBI and the Department of Justice lies to somebody and tricks them into making statements, and then charges them with a lie that they entrapped them in,” Issa explained.

Where Is the Flynn 302?
By National Review. . .My purpose in this post is not to rehash the column. It is to highlight something I address in the middle: the missing FBI report of Flynn’s interview on January 24, 2017 — i.e., the Flynn 302. As I write in the column:
It was only after Mueller was appointed in May 2017 that the investigation of Flynn appears to have picked up steam and a false-statements plea was finally negotiated in late November.
There are many peculiarities about this. Pressing at the moment, for example, is the special counsel’s release yesterday of the FBI report (the “302” form) pertaining to Flynn’s interview. Media reports had said that even though Flynn was interviewed on January 24, 2017, the 302 documenting the interview was not completed until August 22, 2017, seven months later. Clearly, this raises the possibility that the interview report was drafted not when the agents formed their initial impressions, but months later when the special counsel was squeezing Flynn and there was a motive to make the interview appear more deceptive than it seemed at the time.
To my eye, the situation is even more disturbing than the press reporting suggests. It appears that there is no 302 of the Flynn interview. The 302 dated August 22, 2017, which Mueller submitted to the court, documents an interview of Peter Strzok, not of Flynn. It appears that this interview of Strzok took place on July 19, notes of the interview were drafted the next day (July 20), and the 302 was approved and entered into the FBI’s files on August 22. The question obviously arises: Where is the Flynn 302? FBI procedures would have called for a report within a few days of the interview. It is not that there wasn’t one for seven months. For now, it looks like none has been produced at all.
By National Review. The nation’s largest abortion provider described an unborn human being as both a “pregnancy” and as a “baby.” The only difference was in the audience: The former was the term used for women seeking an abortion, while the latter was for preschoolers.
Planned Parenthood used the b-word in a November 14 video for parents. The three-minute animated film — “How Do I Talk With My Kid About Where Babies Come From?” — has gone largely unnoticed by the media, even though an earlier video for parents about gender made headlines recently. This one proved just as newsworthy, if only because of Planned Parenthood’s discrepancy.
At the film’s beginning, a female narrator recommends that parents “keep it simple and direct” with younger children. A parent might say that a “baby grows in a parent’s belly and comes out their vagina.” Or, if that’s not enough information for little ones, parents can add that “if sperm and egg meet, they can grow into a baby.”
But while the narrator was ready and willing to mention birth — and even birth-control — in the video meant for children’s education, she didn’t mention the issue of abortion.
Online, in its resources for pregnant women, Planned Parenthood calls abortion the “ending of a pregnancy.” But for children, abortion would be the ending of a “baby” if they learn, as Planned Parenthood instructs, that it is a baby that grows inside their mother’s belly.

Planned Parenthood Urges Holiday ‘Presents’ for Mike Pence
By Breitbart. Abortion vendor Planned Parenthood, which considers Mike Pence to be among its most fervent enemies, has released a list of suggested holiday presents for the pro-life vice president.
During the holiday season, it can be hard to find the perfect gift for everyone on your list. But when it comes to shopping for @VP Mike Pence, we’ve got you covered. Here’s our roundup of the 10 best holiday #PresentsForPence.
Among the items on the list is the ever-popular “donation to the Planned Parenthood Action Fund in Pence’s Name.”
Donations to America’s largest abortion provider in Pence’s name have been trendy among abortion rights advocates since Pence was governor of Indiana. The practice, however, reached its peak in November 2017, when actress Mila Kunis told Conan O’Brien, while appearing on his talk show, she donates to Planned Parenthood in Pence’s name to protest his pro-life policies.

Mick Mulvaney, the Office of Management and Budget Director who President Donald Trump tweeted Friday would serve as acting chief of staff after John Kelly departs in January, has been a loyal Trump supporter — he just didn’t always like it so much.
During a debate with his then-congressional challenger, Democrat Fran Person, on Nov. 2 of 2016, less than a week before Trump was elected president, then- congressman Mulvaney was blunt with those gathered at York Middle School in York, South Carolina.
After decrying the Democratic nominee former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as a liberal who would take the country in the wrong direction, Mulvaney said he was supporting Trump, essentially by default.
“Yes, I am supporting Donald Trump, but I’m doing so despite the fact that I think he’s a terrible human being,” he said, according to a report in The State newspaper.

On Thursday, House Democratic Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., indicated to reporters that she would rather keep the government shut down indefinitely than send a bill to President Trump’s desk that funds a border wall.
Asked why President Trump would sign a Democratic bill that doesn’t include wall funding, Pelosi replied, “Does he want to have government closed forever?”
Congress must pass an appropriations bill to fund the government before the year’s end. Failing to do so will cause a partial government shutdown. President Trump on Tuesday vowed to take responsibility if the government shuts down, saying he would be “proud to shut down the government for border security,” and insisting that Democrats fund the wall or close up shop.
Either Trump or the Democrats will have to cave, and whoever caves first will face angry voters. (For more from the author of “Pelosi Reveals Trump’s Wall Funding Fate” please click HERE)
