                            December 28, 2016Voters Are Less Concerned About Effects of U.S. Support For Israel
Tensions between the United States and Israel have risen yet again after the former abstained from voting on a UN Security Council resolution that condemns Israeli settlements in Israel’s occupied territories, allowing the resolution to pass. Voters in the United States continue to view Israel as an important partner when it comes to U.S. national security and are less negative about how that relationship looks to other countries.

December 28, 2016New York Times’ St. Nicholas Picks a Bone With Christ on Christmas By Charles Hurt

December 27, 2016Random Thoughts, Looking Back By Thomas Sowell
Any honest man, looking back on a very long life, must admit -- even if only to himself -- being a relic of a bygone era. Having lived long enough to have seen both "the greatest generation" that fought World War II and the gratingest generation that we see all around us today, makes being a relic of the past more of a boast than an admission.
December 27, 2016Trump Nixes Pet Projects of Liberal and Conservative Elites By Michael Barone

December 24, 2016Russia Hacking: Where's the Evidence? by Ted Rall
At the smallest, worst newspaper in the world -- even at a high school paper -- no sane editor would publish a story that wasn't backed by solid evidence. As the 20th century print journalism cliche goes, if your mother says she loves you, check it out. So why are the nation's most prestigious multi-Pulitzer-winning newsgathering organizations repeatedly claiming that hackers working for the Russian government stole emails belonging to the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton campaign manager John Podesta, and gave them to WikiLeaks?

Now that the 538 electors have voted -- and, with only the most minor of exceptions, for the expected candidates -- we can marvel at how such a huge difference in public policies can be made by just a few votes, the 77,744 votes by which Donald Trump beat Hillary Clinton for the 46 electoral votes in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin.
