Far-left Democrat Dick Dubin has gotten 235 crazy judges appointed to lifetime judgeships, but he’s not finished. RINOs who question patriotic Americans for positions in Trump’s Cabinet better not have approved radical judges.

Top political leaders from around the world responded to the tragic terrorist attack in Germany on Friday night that was committed by a Saudi refugee. The man, a 50-year-old doctor, took his car and allegedly mowed down more than 200 people who were on a packed street. Police believe that the motive is likely his anger toward Germany for not being even more friendly toward refugees than they already are. “The United States extends our deepest condolences to the people of Germany grieving the terrible attack at a Christmas market yesterday in Magdeburg, Germany,” said President Joe Biden. “No community—and no family—should have to endure such a despicable and dark event, especially just days before a holiday of joy and peace.” Biden claimed that his administration, which has seen an explosion in terrorism around the world under this watch, was committed to fighting “violent terror.” British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said that he was “horrified by the atrocious attack in Magdeburg tonight.” “My thoughts are with the victims, their families, and all those affected,” he added. “We stand with the people of Germany.” French President Emmanuel Macron said that he was “deeply shocked by the horror” of the attack. “My thoughts are with the victims, the injured, and their loved ones,” he said. “France shares the pain of the German people and expresses its full solidarity.” Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said the “brutal” terrorist attack was carried out against a “defenseless crowd at the Christmas market in Magdeburg.” “I stand with the entire government, the families of the victims, the injured and all the German people,” she added. “Violence must have no place in our democracies.” European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen called the attack “cowardly.” “This act of violence must be investigated and severely punished,” she added. Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned the attack after the country had repeatedly warned Germany that the suspect was a dangerous threat to their country. “The Ministry of Foreign Affairs expresses the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s condemnation of the run-over incident that occurred in a market in the city of Magdeburg in the Federal Republic of Germany, which resulted in the death and injury of a number of people, expressing its solidarity with the German people and the families of the victims,” Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs posted on X.

The U.S. military said in a statement on Saturday that it launched airstrikes against terrorist targets belonging to Iranian-backed Houthi terrorists in Yemen. The statement from U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) comes after the Houthis have launched hundreds of attacks on merchant and naval vessels operating in and around the Red Sea for more than a year. U.S. forces “conducted precision airstrikes against a missile storage facility and a command-and-control facility operated by Iran-backed Houthis within Houthi-controlled territory in Sana’a, Yemen, on Dec. 21 Yemen time,” CENTCOM said in a statement. The operation involved the use of U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy assets, including F/A-18s. CENTCOM said that the strike was made to “disrupt and degrade Houthi operations, such as attacks against U.S. Navy warships and merchant vessels in the Southern Red Sea, Bab al-Mandeb, and Gulf of Aden.” CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE During the mission, CENTCOM said that they shot down “multiple Houthi one way attack uncrewed aerial vehicles (OWA UAV) and an anti-ship cruise missile (ASCM) over the Red Sea.” CENTCOM Conducts Airstrikes Against Iran-Backed Houthi Missile Storage and Command/Control Facilities in Yemen TAMPA, Fla. – U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces conducted precision airstrikes against a missile storage facility and a command-and-control facility operated by… pic.twitter.com/YRWWQJIweP — U.S. Central Command (@CENTCOM) December 21, 2024 CENTCOM has also conducted strikes in Syria over the last couple of weeks after Islamic terrorists overran dictator Bashar al-Assad’s regime, forcing him into exile in Russia.

It’s never easy losing a loved one. When it happens during the holidays, it can be challenging. Not having someone with you who brought so much joy to your life can be heartbreaking. But the pain of losing both of your parents within days of each other, weeks before Christmas, is an unimaginable pain most people can’t fathom. Sadly, Conan O’Brien lost his parents, Ruth Reardon O’Brien, at age 92 on December 12, just three days after his father, Dr. Thomas O’Brien, passed away on Dec. 9 at age 95. Now, the comedian is sharing a sweet message about his beloved mom and dad. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Team Coco (@teamcoco) Conan O’Brien’s Parents Were A Match Made In Heaven He told the Boston Globe in a recent interview, “I think what my mother and father saw in each other was that they were kindred spirits,” Conan said. “They were incredibly hard-working and disciplined.” Conan remembered a trip he took with his dad that inspired his love of travel. “He took me on a trip through South America when I was, I think, in seventh grade,” Conan recalled. “He thought, ‘You’re going to learn more traveling through these various neighborhoods and cities in South America for a week and a half than you will in public school in Brookline.’ I think he put the travel bug in me.” Conan said his mom took care of everything they needed at home, all while becoming the second female partner in her law firm’s history. She adored her children and spread joy where she could “If anyone was unhappy around my mom in a 50-mile radius, she thought it was incumbent on her to fix the problem,” he said. “It did not make her life easy, but it was very much a part of her Catholic drive – that ‘I have to be of service to people.’ And good God, she was.” Conan O’Brien’s parents’ marriage lasted 66 years. It seems they just couldn’t bear to be apart. May we all be so blessed. This story’s featured image is by Rodin Eckenroth/WireImage.

This article takes us back to the 1970s, a time when hearing a song for the first time often led to the discovery of a new band. While this might sound like a personal experience, it’s actually a shared commonality among music fans. Some songs from the ’70s were so mind-blowing that they made us all stop in our tracks, turning heads and asking, “Who is that?” This concept isn’t quite the same as a “Best Debut Single” list, because not all of these songs were the artists’ first releases. In fact, mant weren’t even from their first couple of The post Ten 1970s Songs That Helped Us Discover New Bands For 1st Time appeared first on ClassicRockHistory.com.

Blake Lively and How Hollywood Works Behind the Scenes

“Shazam!” star Zachary Levi predicted his career would implode if he endorsed Donald Trump for president.Levi did it all the same.Get woke. Go broke. Backpedal. It’s the new Hollywood mantra.So far, he hasn’t been pitchforked out of Tinseltown, but it’s still possible. “Club Random” host Bill Maher warned the actor last week that Hollywood still might punish him for wrong-think during their friendly chat.Now, Levi is getting personally attacked by Variety film critic Peter Debruge for the craziest reason possible. The reviewer listed Levi’s 2024 film “Harold and the Purple Crayon” as one of the year’s worst films.To be fair, neither critics nor crowds were kind to the kiddie flick. Debruge went one step further: "Sony repeats the tired idea — recycled by everything from 'Sonic' to 'The Smurfs' — of bringing cartoon characters into the 'real world,' translating adorable Harold into allergic-to-the-eyes Zachary Levi."Allergic to the eyes? Here’s betting Levi's looks skew more leading man than the critic in question. More importantly, what a nasty thing to say about any actor, let alone one as conventionally handsome as the “Chuck” alum.Think that Trump endorsement had anything to do with that unprofessional quip? Ask Maher or anyone with a functional frontal cortex ...Pixar's trans shiftDid a major studio CEO actually tell us the truth? "Cats and dogs, living together!" as Bill Murray cried in 1984’s “Ghostbusters.”Disney CEO Bob Iger, bludgeoned by bad news on nearly all fronts last year, vowed to "quiet the noise” on the culture war front. Many scoffed at his promise, recalling the Disney employee bragging about her “not so secret gay agenda.”When the Mouse House’s “Inside Out 2” hit theaters over the summer, the lack of progressive propaganda proved rare and refreshing. And the movie earned a whopping $652 million stateside.Hmmm.Now, we’re learning an upcoming Disney+ series just killed a trans storyline. “Win or Lose,” from the Pixar production line, originally featured a trans character as part of the kid-friendly sports saga. Voila! It’s gone, according to the Hollywood Reporter.“When it comes to animated content for a younger audience, we recognize that many parents would prefer to discuss certain subjects with their children on their own terms and timeline,” a Disney rep told THR.Get woke. Go broke. Backpedal. It’s the new Hollywood mantra ...'Wicked' goodEverybody hated the “Joker” musical sequel, but the opposite is true for “Wicked.”The movie smash hit theaters last month and has already racked up $361 million stateside (and counting). That’s despite hiding the fact that the film is the first of a two-part series. It’s not “Wicked: Part I,” it’s just ... “Wicked.”Fooled ya!Now, we’re learning the second and final installment will hit theaters Nov. 2025 and will be called “Wicked: The Good.” Someone in the marketing department is a Red Sox fan, right?Justin's junkWho says God doesn’t have a sense of humor?Justin Timberlake had a front-row seat to the most famous “wardrobe malfunction” ever. He watched as Janet Jackson exposed more than her singing chops at the 2004 Super Bowl halftime show.Jackson’s career took a nose dive while the NSYNC alum’s went in the other direction.Timberlake suffered his own “malfunction” of sorts during a Nashville concert last week. The singer performed with a harness for safety reasons when the equipment tugged his shirt up and exposed his still-covered groin. He tried to pull at his shirt to cover up the bulging problem, but that made the clip even more attractive to social media types.Naturally, the snippet went viral. Call it digital karma ...Sue crewHow many legal notes will it take to keep “The View” on the air?The news media is in full meltdown mode, again, following ABC settling with President-elect Donald Trump for $15 million over its fake news reportage. Network morning anchor George Stephanopoulos repeatedly claimed a court ruled that Trump had raped E. Jean Carroll during a contentious interview with Rep. Nancy Mace.Wrong.“The View,” also part of the ABC network, has been on a “legal notes” binge of late over its potentially libelous banter. One episode of "The View" found the hosts sharing four legal notes in total.Four!Here’s betting “The View” will get a new sponsor before the year ends — Secret deodorant. “Strong enough for a man but made for Sunny Hostin.”
