Hey, America, civility and coming together rests in our hands this year – It doesn't come from government

OPINION - By George A. Goens | Fox News

Most Americans have a heartfelt need for a united sense of community, yet this country is undergoing serious splintering that threatens, not only relationships, but also politics and society as whole. Communication and dialogue now get lost in the fog of impulsive reactions and prejudices and turns into name-calling and castigating. People retreat into silos with people of like views, away from ‘elites’, ’deplorables’ or others with different perspectives.

Unfortunately, the last time people visibly came together as one was after the 9/11 crisis. Politics, philosophy, ethnic or racial makeup were forgotten, and people came together simply as Americans.

Civility and coming together rests in our hands – not the government's hands, political parties, or special-interest groups. We can change things and it doesn't take an act of Congress. If we, as individuals, were more civil to each other, we would ease the disrespectful banter, sarcasm, and bullying one person at a time.

Elizabeth Warren is one more stale, big-government politician serving the elites

by Washington Examiner

January 01, 2019 12:00 AM


Elizabeth Warren was the future, once. Now that she's entering the Democratic presidential primary, though, she's a stale politician pushing stale policies that would preserve the status quo.

The Massachusetts senator has been the most eloquent and most consistent Democrat at arguing that the game is rigged today in America’s politics and economy. In announcing the first official stage of her presidential campaign on Monday, she spoke of problems such as inequality and then fired a shot at the culprits.

She hit close to the bull's-eye: “The problem starts in Washington. Our government has been bought and paid for by a bunch of billionaires and giant corporations that think they get to dictate the rules that affect everyone.”

We agree wholeheartedly that Washington is a tool all too often controlled by billionaires and giant corporations.

OPINION

How the Trump presidency made me a better American

By Karol Markowicz

December 30, 2018 | 11:10pm




Donald Trump

Nearly two years after his inauguration, I have concluded that President Trump has made me a better person.

For starters, I’m more compassionate. After the election, I was as dazed and confused as anyone in the political-media bubble. To understand what happened, I devoured reporting about Trump voters and sought to understand them.

I wasn’t some liberal, mind you. I had worked for years in Republican politics. Yet I hadn’t known any Trump primary voters. I didn’t know his fans, his base.

Reading their concerns was eye-opening. They weren’t stupid, and they weren’t hateful. Mainstream politicians had ignored them for so long that they took a wild chance on the reality-TV star from Queens.

At the same time, because I wasn’t a Trump voter, I understood the pain of people frightened by his win. Caring about his voters didn’t preclude caring about his ­opponents, I found.

Trump being a mirror for my conduct was clarifying. It didn’t make any sense for me to criticize the president for behavior that I engaged in. Yet so many people lean into the Trumpian way as a way of . . . countering Trump.

There must be a way to move beyond Trump and our culture’s ugliness, which transcends one presidency. Americans can resolve to be better people, instead of racing to the bottom. We won’t always have Trump to blame for our bad behavior. It might be best to start improving it now.

Dems' 'OBSESSION' _ Turley: Dems' 'Obsession' With Trump Is Eroding What Defines Their Party

Turley: Dems' 'Obsession' With Trump Is Eroding What Defines Their Party


Dec 31, 2018 // 10:26am - As seen on Fox & Friends


Constitutional law professor Jonathan Turley said Monday that Democrats' "obsession" with President Trump is eroding what used to define their party.

In a recent op-ed, Turley wrote that Trump has led Democrats to abandon their "core unifying values."

"Trump is remaking the party in his inverse image," Turley wrote. He said on "Fox & Friends" that Democrats' "all-consuming effort" with opposing Trump is becoming their identity.

"What happens when Donald Trump leaves office? What is left of your party?" he asked.

Turley noted that when Trump said he wanted troops out of Syria and Afghanistan, Democrats, who have opposed continual wars, called the move "hasty."

"What is left of the Democratic Party beyond being opposed to Donald Trump?" he said Monday.

Turley also had a warning for Republicans, saying that they need to be careful.

"If they just simply become the party of Donald Trump, they're going to have the same vacuum once he leaves the office," he said.

Major cities around the world welcome 2019

It’s the night of the year where dazzling pyrotechnics are at their finest — and this year didn’t disappoint. Here’s how Australia — and the rest of the world — rang in 2019.

It’s the sole night of the year where pyrotechnics are at their finest — and the fireworks around the world didn’t disappoint. Here’s how Australia — and the rest of the world — rang in the new year.


SYDNEY


Thunderstorms lashed Sydney and drenched New Year’s Eve crowds earlier on in the day, but the weather cleared for spectacular fireworks to light up the Harbour. Popular vantage points closed off early as hundreds of thousands of revellers count down to the city’s New Year’s Eve party.

More than 8.5 tonnes of fireworks comprising more than 100,000 individual effects, 35,000 of them shooting comets, will be fired over the harbour by midnight.

BRISBANE

Tens of thousands of people crammed into prime viewing locations across Brisbane to welcome 2019 on New Year’s Eve, with fireworks to be launched from four river locations.

The biggest party was held at South Bank, where people began staking out positions with deck chairs early on Monday.

More than 85,000 people visited the alcohol-free zone to watch the pyrotechnics, which were be fired from five river barges between Victoria and Goodwill bridges.

Thunderstorms have lashed Sydney and drenched New Year’s Eve crowds, but the weather is expected to clear enough for spectacular fireworks to light up the Harbour.

Sydney’s skies saw the first of two huge fireworks displays at 9pm - three hours before the main event, which will be watched by millions around the world.

Popular vantage points closed off early as hundreds of thousands of revellers count down to the city’s New Year’s Eve party.

Rain fell over the harbour, with even heavier falls elsewhere over the metropolitan area. A huge shower began just after 7pm, forcing many people diving under blankets to shield themselves from the rain.

The storms brought 8mm of rain and dozens of lightening strikes, AAP reported, and caused the cancellation of the 8pm aerial flyover display. The night’s two firework shows are still scheduled for 9pm and midnight.

Charlie Pickering told those watching ABC’s New Year’s Eve coverage: “The weather hasn’t been great, there was heavy rain but it has cleared and we are going to try to go ahead with everything we have planned for the concert, and we have a lot planned.”

Few in the coveted spots around the harbour were prepared to give up their positions though. it eased about an hour later, but then returned - although forecasters hope the worst of it will be gone by midnight.

The heavy rain had threatened to spoil the iconic event, but the first round of fireworks have shown the Sydney show will go on.

Graham says 'I feel pretty good' about Syria after lunch with Trump

By Gregg Re, Samuel Chamberlain | Fox News


Sen. Lindsey Graham meets with Trump to discuss Syria and the partial government shutdown, says he left encouraged
Sen. Graham and the president discussed the importance of a deal with Democrats to end the shutdown and the U.S. troop withdrawal from Syria; Ellison Barber reports.


Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., told reporters Sunday that "I feel pretty good about where we're headed" in Syria after suggesting that President Trump is "reconsidering" the planned pullout which had drawn bipartisan criticism and forced the resignation of Defense Secretary James Mattis.

Graham emerged from the White House after a two-hour lunch with Trump and said the president "told me some things I didn't know that make me feel a lot better about where we're headed in Syria."

"He promised to destroy ISIS. He's going to keep that promise," Graham said of Trump. "We're not there yet. But as I said today, we're inside the 10-yard line and the president understands the need to finish the job."

Giuliani suggests Mueller cover-up, charges Dems 'absolutely' could have prevented illegal immigrant cop killing

"IT'S RIDICULOUS"
Trump att'y Giuliani says Mueller is ‘insurance policy’ FBI officials cited


__________



Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani responds to the latest news on Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation
Rudi Giuliani weighs in on the future of the Mueller probe.


In a wide-ranging interview Sunday on "Fox & Friends," President Trump's personal attorney Rudy Giuliani suggested that key evidence of anti-Trump bias has been deleted in Special Counsel Robert Mueller's Russia probe, and charged that Democrats rejected legislation that would have "absolutely prevented" the murder of California police officer Ronil Singh by an alleged illegal immigrant early Wednesday.

The suspect in the slaying, Gustavo Perez Arriaga, had known gang affiliations as well as two past DUI arrests. Stanislaus County Sheriff Adam Christianson this weekend argued that the murder "could’ve been preventable," saying that California law had prevented authorities from sharing information about Arriaga's DUI arrests with Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

"This could've been prevented by just a reasonably sensible policy," Giuliani said. "Democrats ... voted against legislation that would have absolutely prevented this by focusing on gang members. He should've been taken in for being a drunk driver. ... There was special legislation to focus on gang members. Most of the Democrats voted against it. Almost every Republican voted for it. Had that legislation been in place, this murder may very well not have happened."

Seriously? Almost Every CA Politician Ignored Slain Officer Killed By An Illegal Alien

Beth Baumann

An illegal alien with potential gang ties on Wednesday killed Corporal Ronil Singh in California. News of Corporal Singh's death made national media attention and people across the country mourned the death of a police officer.

One of the most disgusting things though? There was only one legislator from California – House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy – who mentioned Singh's death. Everyone else remained absolutely silent about the tragedy.

Cameron Gray, the former producer of NRATV's "Cam and Company" had an epic Twitter thread about the lack of response by California politicians:

Here’s how Trump can counter his opponents’ game plan for 2019

OPINION - By Tom Basile | Fox News



Trump says that 2018 was the year of the worker, had the lowest unemployment rate among blacks and Hispanics
Former White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci says that wages increased the most for the bottom 10 percent of the economy


The Trump presidency is besieged by most of the news media, a well-organized activist left, and even establishment Republicans who have refused to truly support an unconventional president. In 2017, the left told everyone Trump “colluded with Russia.” In 2018, the mantra was that everyone the president associates with is corrupt.

In 2019, the next play of the mainstream media will be to craft an image of Trump as a Nixonian figure, increasingly isolated, angry and paranoid. News reports will start injecting more references to the notion that the president is spending time alone, pacing the floors of the White House residence, lashing out at staff over the Mueller investigation and drawing up an enemies list. The left will paint a picture of a man unhinged, erratic and unable to govern.

Of course, this framing by the press and Democrat talking heads will be a prelude to the impeachment circus that many on the left hope will become the “story of the century” next year.


TO READ MORE BY TOM BASILE CLICK HERE


So what is the embattled president to do in order to turn the tide, or at a minimum insulate himself from this well-scripted game plan?

Politics is a full contact sport and the best way to avoid getting knocked out of the game is a good offense. For Trump, that means driving an ambitious domestic agenda despite the constant cacophony of attacks from the left. It means putting your opposition on defense.

Deaths from opioid-cocaine cocktails have surged since 2010

by Kimberly Leonard 

December 30, 2018 12:00 AM





Drug cocktails of cocaine and opioids have caused a surge in deaths since 2010, the Washington Examiner found in an analysis of mortality data.

More than 10,100 people died from mixing the drugs in 2017, according to the analysis based on data from death certificates assembled into an online database by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The combination of cocaine and the powerful opioid fentanyl proved particularly deadly, killing 7,241 people.

The latest figures show an increase in the number deaths caused by opioids and cocaine of nearly 76 percent since 2012.

Building the wall will prevent more tragedies at the border

Back in April, the Department of Justice sought to prevent illegal border crossing with a “zero tolerance” policy that involved a large expansion of criminal prosecutions. By June, holding facilities in Texas were packed, and pictures of crying children separated from parents hijacked any rational explanations, forcing President Trump to put the policy on hold.

The move stopped the media feeding frenzy, but didn’t plug the porous border. Now the frenzy is back, this time over dead children.

Just last week, an 8-year-old Guatemalan boy died in custody, the second child from that country to die on the American side in a month. The first was a 7-year-old girl, and both children had been held with a parent after crossing illegally.

...
On the other hand, after the first Guatemalan child’s death, Pelosi declared that America has “a moral responsibility to ensure all children are treated with decency and compassion.”


Does that include the children in Chicago and other cities falling victim to gunfire?

The contrast is sharp: Trump sees morality as putting Americans First, while Pelosi sees morality as offering a better welcome wagon for those who come illegally.

Build the wall because we have tried everything else.

Organizers of a Women’s March rally slated for Northern California next month have canceled the event, saying they were concerned that participants would have been “overwhelmingly white."

In a news release, organizers for the march in Eureka – about 270 miles north of San Francisco – said Friday the "decision was made after many conversations between local social-change organizers and supporters of the march.”

“Up to this point, the participants have been overwhelmingly white, lacking representation from several perspectives in our community,” the news release continued.

Anak Krakatau is creating its own ‘volcano thunderstorm,’ sending ash more than a mile skyward in eruptions as frequently as every minute

ANYER, Indonesia—The volcano that unleashed a tsunami and killed more than 400 people has collapsed to about a third of its previous height and is ejecting superheated magma into the sea, magnifying the power of the eruptions and sending ash more than a mile into the air.

The volcano, called Anak Krakatau, partially collapsed in a violent spasm on Dec. 22, causing a massive landslide that sent high waves barreling toward both shores of the Sunda Strait, the narrow passage between the islands of Java and Sumatra. The volcano’s...

The terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad reason the military wants to stay in Syria

By Steven W. Mosher

December 29, 2018 | 9:54am



US forces are on their way out of Syria -- a positive development for our troops and their kin.
AP



On December 19, 2018, President Trump declared correctly that “we have won against ISIS,” and announced that the remaining 2,000 American troops in Syria would be withdrawn.

The president has made the right decision. Having won the war against ISIS, he does not want to lose the peace by getting into a military conflict with the Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad’s forces, or with the Iranians or the Russians, or even with the Turks for that matter.

As the father of an Army officer who is in theater right now, I think I have a right to an opinion. And in my opinion, the desert sands of Syria are not worth a single American life.

President Trump’s foreign policy accomplishments in his first two years are staggering in their success and demonstrate an evolving set of principles upon which the president is acting.

From muting the North Korean missile and nuclear threat, to mostly defeating ISIS in Iraq and Syria, to countering Russia by insisting that NATO member nations to pay their fair share to defend themselves, President Trump is hitting on all international relations cylinders.

We now have an emerging Trump Doctrine, some of which is captured in his own National Security Strategy. It has the following tenets:

1. America First in everything we do.

2. No “forever wars” that lead to costly nation-building.

3. Engage alliances to serve U.S. interests as well as those of other member nations.

4. Increase defense budgets to properly counter Russia and China.

5. Surgically defeat terrorism at its source.

6. Give commanders the full authority to prosecute combat operations.

7. Leverage all of the elements of power – diplomatic, informational, military and economic – to achieve strategic aims.

Rep. Steny Hoyer Says Democrats Won't Seat North Carolina Republican Amid Election Fraud Investigation

Lauretta Brown
| Posted: Dec 28, 2018 6:15 PM





Incoming House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD) told The Washington Post Friday that House Democrats will not seat North Carolina Republican Mark Harris due to allegations of election fraud in the state’s 9th Congressional District.

“Given the now well-documented election fraud that took place in NC-09, Democrats would object to any attempt by [Mark] Harris to be seated on January 3,” Hoyer said in a statement. “In this instance, the integrity of our democratic process outweighs concerns about the seat being vacant at the start of the new Congress.”

Hoyer’s statement came just after the North Carolina state board of elections dissolved Friday without certifying the results from the 9th Congressional District. That dissolution was due to an unrelated, lengthy court battle over the board’s constitutionality.

California illegal immigrant ‘cop-killer’ taken into custody, officials say

By Elizabeth Zwirz, Greg Norman | Fox News


VIDEO: Sheriff of Stanislaus County calls officer Ronil Singh's death 'preventable,' blames California's sanctuary laws


The illegal immigrant fugitive who was wanted in the murder of a California police officer was taken into custody on Friday after being on the run for more than two days, according to an official, who made the case that the fatal encounter may have been preventable.

Stanislaus County Sheriff Adam Christianson announced the arrest of the suspect -- identified as Gustavo Perez Arriaga -- in Bakersfield, about 280 miles southeast of Newman, where Police Cpl. Ronil Singh was gunned down early Wednesday. The arrest was confirmed by the Fresno County and Kern County Sheriff's Offices.

Christianson, whose department has been handling the case, told reporters at a news conference that Arriaga is from Mexico and was in the U.S. illegally after previously crossing the Arizona border. It wasn't clear when that crossing occurred, though.

Christianson said the suspect had been in the country for a number of years and was seeking to cross back over the border before the shooting occurred.

North Korea Built an Alternative Financial System Using a Shadowy Network of Traders

It was a familiar problem for North Korea.

A timber company it controlled in Africa had earned $100,000 by selling wood to a Chinese firm. Pyongyang needed the money to pay its foreign suppliers of oil and other critical products.

But U.S. and international sanctions, intended to force North Korea to give up its nuclear program, limit its...

Newt Gingrich: 2019 will be a wild ride — these past events prove it

OPINION - By Newt Gingrich | Fox News

After four consecutive years of events that have become more and more surprising, you can be sure the surprises will continue in 2019. In fact, the new year will be even more filled with surprises than the last four years.

This means that all of us should set our assumptions and “expert knowledge” aside and approach 2019 with a sense of humility and curiosity. The world’s potential for surprising us is greater than our potential for understanding enough to predict these surprises.

Look at the surprise of 2015. Who would have predicted that Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., would emerge as the “youth” candidate, galvanizing college campuses and building an online fundraising machine capable of supporting a serious insurgent campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination?


CLICK HERE TO READ NEWT GINGRICH: THE LEFT MAY BE WINNING THE WAR OF WORDS – BUT HERE’S HOW THE GOP CAN WIN IN 2020


Who would have predicted that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton would combine four huge mistakes to undermine her own presidential campaign? Those mistakes were: building a weak campaign team; developing no new exciting issues beyond the sense that it was her turn; failing to attract new people; and making security mistakes with her email accounts, servers, and devices that would haunt her up to Election Day?

Who, on that New Year’s Eve four years ago, would have confidently predicted that first-time candidate Donald J. Trump would lead in the polls nearly all year, dominate the debates, and end the year as a clear frontrunner over 16 other Republicans seeking their party’s presidential nomination?

BIG TECH BACKLASH

Facebook's massive, secret rulebook for policing speech reveals inconsistencies, gaps and biases

By Christopher Carbone | Fox News


Facebook's tipping point?


Facebook is attempting to tackle misinformation and hate that its platform has enabled with a massive, byzantine and secret document of rules packed with spreadsheets and power point slides that gets updated regularly for its global content moderators.

According to the blockbuster New York Times report, the rules show the social network to be "a far more powerful arbiter of global speech than has been publicly recognized or acknowledged by the company itself." The Times discovered a range of gaps, biases and outright errors — including instances where Facebook allowed extremism to spread in some counties while censoring mainstream speech in others.

The rulebook's details were revealed Thursday night thanks to a Facebook employee who leaked over 1,400 pages of the speech policing rulebook to the Times because he "feared that the company was exercising too much power, with too little oversight — and making too many mistakes."

EDITORIAL_ Donald Trump and the ungracious press

Donald Trump and the ungracious press


by Washington Examiner
| December 27, 2018 09:12 PM


For a press that regularly laments President Trump’s lack of graciousness, you’d think newsrooms would try harder to show those virtues themselves.

Early Wednesday morning, the day after Christmas, the president and first lady Melania Trump arrived in Iraq, surprising American troops with a personal visit. The president was cheered and applauded as he took to the stage and spoke to service members stationed far from home. After his remarks, he shook hands, posed for selfies, and signed autographs for those who asked. It was a lovely episode, one that the troops clearly appreciated and enjoyed.

It would take a hard, graceless heart to scrounge for something to criticize in the president’s surprise visit. It’d take a conniving, cold partisan to go after the eager service members who asked the president to sign their red “Make America Great Again” trucker hats. Yet, that's exactly what a sizable portion of the news media did.

Unsurprisingly, Cuomo was eaten alive on social media shortly after tweeting praise aimed at the president. Because that’s exactly the sort of thing that happens in the era of #Resisting. To suggest that Trump did something decent is to commit an act of apostasy. It will be punished mercilessly by true believers. Perhaps that’s why newsrooms are so loathe to give Trump credit where it’s due.

The press ought to listen to its own criticism of the president and learn a little decency.

Queen Elizabeth's Christmas message sparks backlash on Twitter for featuring gold piano

There’s been an online backlash to Queen Elizabeth's Christmas message this year after viewers took offense at her gold piano.

The Queen was filmed sitting at a desk in the White Drawing Room at Buckingham Palace when she delivered her speech, which included personal reflections on her long life and a wish for peace.

But it was the presence of a gold piano in the background that sparked accusations of hypocrisy and that she was out of touch.

Daily Mirror associate editor Kevin Maguire said the Queen had killed satire by “lecturing the nation to pull together” while sitting in front of a golden piano in a palace she was charging taxpayers to renovate.

Scottish National Party politician James Dornan also pilloried her message suggesting a singalong on the gold piano might cheer up those hungry and sleeping on the streets.

The way the Queen funds her activities, what she personally owns and what is owned by the public, is complex.

Taxpayers fund her activities including a planned renovation of Buckingham Palace (which is not her personal property) through the Sovereign Grant, which is funded from profits generated by the huge commercial property business owned by the reigning monarch but only while she is Queen.

In 2017/18, the Crown Estate generated a profit of £329.4 million ($US 416.9 million) and this money was given to the UK Treasury, the BBC reported.

Nation’s oldest military veteran dead at 112

America’s oldest veteran, Richard Overton, who served in the Army during World War II and credited God, whiskey and cigars for his remarkable longevity, died Thursday in Texas at the age of 112, reports say.

He had been hospitalized for the last week with pneumonia, his family said.

Shirley Overton, whose husband was Richard’s cousin, said the vet died Thursday evening at a rehab facility in Austin.

Overton, who was also thought to be the oldest living American, was born in 1906 in Bastrop County, just outside Austin, Texas.

Overton was in his 30s when he volunteered for the Army, and was at Pearl Harbor just after the Japanese surprise attack in 1941.

The WWII veteran served in the all-black 1887th Engineer Aviation Battalion from 1942 to 1945, a period that included stops in Angaur, Palau; Peleliu, Micronesia; and Iwo Jima, Japan.
