WOW: Trump Just Got Unexpected Support from a GOP Rival – ‘My Money’s on Him’ [+video]

By Randy DeSoto. Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee believes Donald Trump will be the likely winner against Hillary Clinton in their current exchange of salvos over sexism.

Huckbee said on Fox and Friends Monday morning, “Nothing’s backfired on Donald Trump yet. My money’s on him.”

“I honestly don’t think this is going to hurt Donald Trump,” the former governor added. “Every time that somebody tries to attack him, it comes and backfires on them.”

As reported by Western Journalism, Clinton accused Trump of “having a penchant for sexism,” in the wake of his remarks describing her loss to Barack Obama in 2008 as getting “schlonged” . . .

Huckabee, who successfully went up against what he describes as the “Clinton machine” in Arkansas to become governor, feels Trump has every right to mention Bill Clinton’s past, and Hillary’s complicity in it. “I think that the Clintons have some vulnerabilities here that Trump is seizing upon,” Huckabee said.

Bill Clinton was accused sexually harassing multiple women, and was impeached and disbarred for false testimony he gave in a sexual harassment suit involving Paula Jones. Hillary was reportedly actively involved in seeking to discredit the women who accused the former president of groping and other sexual gestures towards them to the press.

TRUMP MAKES GOOD ON HIS PROMISE, CONTINUES TO HAMMER BILL CLINTON FOR “WOMEN ABUSE”

By Geoffe Earl. Donald Trump made good on his threat to drag Bill Clinton into the presidential race Monday when he accused the former commander in chief of “women abuse.”

Trump made the charge in a tweet on Monday after warning Hillary Clinton to be careful about accusing him of sexism.

“If Hillary thinks she can unleash her husband, with his terrible record of women abuse, while playing the women’s card on me, she’s wrong!” the Republican front-runner tweeted. (Read more from “Trump Just Hammered Bill Clinton – Again” HERE)

Watch: ISIS Leader Delivers Threatening Message to the West in Rare Public Appearance

By Josie Ensor. The leader of the self-declared Islamic State issued a defiant message to the West, warning “crusaders” not to dare fight on his turf.

In a rare public statement – his first in seven months – Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi said Western countries had “learned from” previous wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

“Crusaders and Jews don’t dare to come on the ground because they were defeated in Iraq and Afghanistan,” he said in a 23-minute long audio message released through an [ISIS]-run internet account.

The message – dubbed an “alternative Christmas broadcast” on social media – appeared to be an effort to rally [ISIS] followers against the growing number of enemies arrayed against them.

The leader, who has rarely been pictured and has not been heard from since he was believed to have been injured in an airstrike by Iraqi forces in October, Russian or US-led airstrikes had failed to weaken the group, which was only “expanding and getting stronger”.

Dramatic Video of Russian Air Strikes ‘on Islamic State Oil Empire’

By Agencies, video source Russian Ministry of Defense. Russia has released spectacular footage of what Kremlin officials claim to be a successful bombing campaign to destroy the Islamic State’s oil-smuggling rackets into Turkey.

At a briefing by the Russian ministry of defence in Moscow, generals produced videos and photographs of Russian warplanes pulverising huge columns of oil tankers allegedly transporting oil for sale on the black market.

The Kremlin claimed to have destroyed 17 such truck columns in the past week alone – part of a Moscow-led onslaught against Isil’s oil rackets that Russia says has wiped out nearly 2,000 oil tankers since Russia directly entered the war in Syria in September.

The pictures were released to journalists by Lieutenant General Sergei Rudskoy, a senior figure in Russian Armed Forces command, in a briefing apparently designed to be a mirror image to those conducted by the Pentagon in America.

He sat before a giant video screen showing aerial footage of the Russian attacks, which led to tankers being engulfed in plumes of thick black smoke. (Read more from “Dramatic Video of Russian Air Strikes ‘on Islamic State Oil Empire'” HERE)

Trump: ‘We Are Going to Start Saying Merry Christmas Again… That’s the Way It Should Be’ [+video]

Real estate mogul and best-selling author Donald Trump, echoing remarks he made in September about the importance of saying “Merry Christmas,” told Family Research Council President Tony Perkins that when you go to stores today, you rarely see the word “Christmas,” but that this is going to change – “we are going to start saying ‘Merry Christmas’ again.”

During a Dec. 19 interview on Perkins’ radio show, Washington Watch, Trump said, “Well, Tony, I can, tell you this, that religious liberty is very important to me, and I see more and more, especially, in particular, Christianity, Christians, their power is being taken away.”

“I just watch it and I get angry at it,” said Trump. “You look at what is going on with other religions, you look at, as an example, what’s happening with respect to Muslims and others, where perhaps they just band together better or something. But, you know, the Christian, every year, you just see it more and more.”

“You know, you go from one thing to the next to the point where it’s not politically correct to say ‘Merry Christmas’ to anybody, or you go to stores and you don’t ever see the word ‘Christmas’ anymore,” said Trump. “You don’t see that term anymore, Tony.” (Read more from “Trump: ‘We Are Going to Start Saying Merry Christmas Again… That’s the Way It Should Be'” HERE)

Christmas 1982: Ronald Reagan Reads Life of Christ to Children at White House [+video]

In the inaugural broadcast of NBC’s “Christmas in Washington,” part of the program included then-President Ronald Reagan reading A Solitary Life, a parable of the life of Jesus Christ, to children gathered at the White House.

After nearly 2,000 years, Jesus today is “the centerpiece of much of the human race,” says President Reagan. All the armies, govrnments, and powers of this world have not affected the world in any way as powerfully as this “one solitary life,” he explains.

Major: GOP Candidate Drops out of Race [+video]

Senator Lindsey Graham is ending his presidential campaign, he told CNN during an exclusive interview airing Monday.

“I’m going to suspend my campaign. I’m not going to suspend my desire to help the country,” the South Carolina senator said in a wide-ranging and candid discussion in which he acknowledged: “I’ve hit a wall here” . . .

Graham is known for his quick wit and famous for his one-liners (just ask Princess Buttercup about his retort from the last debate), but he was sober, serious and emotional as he described his decision to leave the race just weeks before the voting begins. (Editor’s note: RINO Graham is also known for being a total, in-the-tank Establishment politico)

One thing is clear: Graham still wants his voice heard on the direction his party is headed, especially with regard to the Middle East.

“Here’s what I predict. I think the nominee of our party is going to adopt my plan when it comes time to articulate how to destroy ISIL,” he said. “We’ve fallen short here, but the fight continues. To those who are doing the fighting, I want to be your voice. To those in the Republican Party who want to win, check my plan out. Hillary, if you get to be President, I’ll help you where I can. I hope you’re not. But if you are, I’ll be there to help you win a war we can’t afford to lose.” (Read more from “Major: GOP Candidate Drops out of Race” HERE)

Hi, everybody. It’s the most wonderful time of the year. Not just for spreading holiday cheer – but also for list makers. You’ve got wish lists; Santa’s list; and of course, a blizzard of year-in-review lists. So I decided to get in on the action.

Obama Skips Democratic Debate, Goes Golfing in Hawaii

By Nick Gass. On his first full day of his annual Christmas vacation in Hawaii, President Barack Obama was not tuned in to see the latest debate between those vying to become his Democratic successor.

Instead, the president spent much of the Democratic on the golf course more than 5,000 miles away. (Read more from “Obama Skips Democratic Debate, Goes Golfing in Hawaii” HERE)

Yale Fail: Ivy Leaguers Sign ‘Petition’ to Repeal First Amendment [+video]

Trigger warning! This story and video may be unsuitable viewing for the “safe space” crowd.

Looking to understand just how controversial the debate over free speech on our college campuses really is, filmmaker and satirist Ami Horowitz recently traveled to Yale University, one of our nation’s most prestigious institutions of higher learning, to speak directly to students.

“I decided to take this campus free speech debate to its logical conclusion,” said Horowitz, who asked students if they’d sign a petition calling for an outright repeal of the First Amendment. “The result was this unbelievable display of total stupidity.”

Watch: Adorable Thing Girl Did so Deaf Parents Could ‘Hear’ Her Christmas Program Will Melt Your Heart

When the parents of Claire Koch of Clearwater, Fla., went to see her at a kindergarten holiday concert performance, they didn’t know she had a special surprise planned for them.

Claire is a KODA (Kid of Deaf Adults) – both of her parents are hearing-impaired. Her mother, Lori Koch, can read lips, but her dad only signs. Although Claire and her sister Charlotte are not deaf, they’ve been using American Sign Language (ASL) to communicate with their parents since they were babies.

So it was only natural for little Claire to not only sing the songs as her mom and dad watched from the front row, but to also sign the words in the most amazing and enthusiastic way!

Why Does Vladimir Putin Walk Like That? [+video]

You may have never noticed it, but Russian President Vladimir Putin walks a little funny.

Now researchers think they know why: It’s most likely KGB weapons training at work.

Neurology professor Bastiaan Bloem of the Radboud University Medical Center in the Netherlands and colleagues had noticed that Putin often walks with his right arm held rigid, while his left arms swings freely.

“We were struck to find several consecutive YouTube recordings of Russia’s president, Vladimir Putin, manifesting a clearly reduced right-sided arm swing,” Bloem and colleagues wrote in The BMJ, the British Medical Journal’s online publication which just happens to be running tongue-in-cheek holiday stories this week. (You can see the video here)

Bloem’s a movement disorders specialist and he and some colleagues had briefly wondered if it might be Parkinson’s disease, which can cause stiff movements. (Read more from “Why Does Vladimir Putin Walk Like That?” HERE)

Rep. Steve King: ‘Jesus Never Ordered Anyone to Be Killed … But Muhammed Did’ [+video]

When MSNBC’s Chris Hayes tried to argue that the man who shot three people at a Planned Parenthood office in Colorado was no different than the radical Islamists who slaughtered 14 people in California, because the killers were following their religion, Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) said it was not the same because Jesus never ordered people to kill but Muhammed did.

On the Dec. 9 edition of MSNBC’s All In with Chris Hayes, the host said, “Why is this any different? You, understandably, as a Christian, as someone of the faith, right, you look at what happened at Planned Parenthood and say, ‘that’s not the faith that I believe in.’”

Rep. King answered, “What Planned Parenthood is doing [aborting babies] is not the faith that I believe in.”

“But Jesus never ordered anyone to be killed,” said King, “and He never raised his hand to injure anyone specifically, but Muhammed did.”
