ALAN KEYES — Winston Churchill famously said that "To 'Jaw, Jaw' is always better than to 'War, War.'" My experience as U.S. ambassador to ECOSOC (the UN Economic and Social Council) and assistant secretary of state for International Organization Affairs compels me to disagree. Since the ultimate purpose of war is to break the enemy's will, talk that effectively stigmatizes one's adversaries can be a decisively important strategic weapon.... (more)

CLIFF KINCAID — A Soros-funded faux Catholic group called Faith in Public Life is holding what it calls a "special briefing" on "Faithful Resistance to Rising White Nationalism," featuring Mark Potok of the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC).

JESSE LEE PETERSON — With just three weeks left in his final term as president, Barack Hussein Obama is behaving like a maniac; his desperate actions to salvage his disastrous legacy are unnerving the American people and our closest allies. Obama is doing all he can to sabotage President-elect Donald Trump to prevent him from successfully undoing the failed socialist policies of the last eight years. But he didn't start this quest yesterday. This past year Obama covered a lot of ground in his bid to diminish and jeopardize America... (more)

WASHINGTON TIMES — President Obama will have one last chance to force Judge Merrick Garland onto the U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday -- but it's a legal gamble and one that has so many pitfalls that even those who say he could get away with it believe it isn't worth the fight.... (more)

WASHINGTON EXAMINER — Washington is bracing for a year of breakneck change as President-elect Trump and a new Congress take office with a jam-packed agenda ahead. Obama is doing all he can to sabotage President-elect Donald Trump to prevent him from successfully undoing the failed socialist policies of the last eight years. But he didn't start this quest yesterday. This past year Obama covered a lot of ground in his bid to diminish and jeopardize America... (more)

WORLDNETDAILY — The chief Sephardic rabbi in Israel says the U.S. abandonment of Israel at the United Nations is a reminder the Jewish state can only count on God. "Sometimes, we need to be reminded from above that we can count on no one but our Father who art in heaven," Yitzhak Yosef told followers at the Western Wall. "Even America ... forsook us last week at the U.N."... (more)

ROBERT KNIGHT — President-elect Donald Trump said he would get rid of political correctness (PC), and it couldn't come too soon. But the Trump Era has not quite begun, so we're still saddled with some PC, big and small. On the big side, we're being told over and over that Mr. Trump did not actually win the election, but stole it with Russian help and -- get this -- media complicity. If you don't go along with this PC view of the election, you are some sort of cave dweller.... (more)

NEWSMAX — The Wall Street Journal does not refer to President-elect Donald Trump's "challengeable" and "questionable" statements as "lies," no matter how false, because doing so would imply "moral intent" and runs the risk of looking biased, the paper's Editor-in-Chief Gerard Baker said Sunday....

DC CLOTHESLINE — With a stroke of the pen President Obama has unilaterally declared vast swaths of land in Utah and Nevada as two new national monuments, thus putting them under control of the federal government. Startlingly, the area in Nevada includes the site of the infamous Bundy Ranch standoff as well as land very close to the Bundy Ranch itself. With this move Obama has possibly triggered another armed standoff while also heading off any moves set to be made by incoming president Donald Trump.... (more)

WORLDNETDAILY — America's not losing a president -- it's gaining a national community organizer. President Obama used his last weekly address of 2016 to both praise his achievements and signal his intention to actively protect his legacy. "And as I prepare to take on the even more important role of citizen, know that I will be there with you every step of the way to ensure that this country forever strives to live up to the incredible promise of our founding -- that all of us are created equal, and all of us deserve every chance to live out our dreams," he said....

ANDREW C. MCCARTHY — It was the key national-security debate of the 2016 election. Donald Trump won the election, in no small part, because he appeared to be on the right side of it. Appeared is used advisedly: Trump was at least in the general vicinity of the bull's-eye; his opponent wouldn't even acknowledge the target existed -- except in the most grudging of ways, and only because Trump had forced the issue....

CLIFF KINCAID — The Democrats have been saying that there's proof that the Russians hacked into Democratic Party computers for the purpose of obtaining and planting information that would help elect Donald J. Trump as president. But the proof wasn't provided when President Obama issued an executive order and announced the expulsions of Russians from the U.S., and sanctions against Russian officials....

CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER — Syndicated columnist and Fox News contributor Charles Krauthammer says President Obama's new sanctions against Russia stem from a god complex. The commander in chief expelled 35 Russian diplomats and sanctioned nine individuals and entities on Thursday due to "significant malicious cyber-enabled activities" during the U.S. presidential election. Mr. Krauthammer told a panel on "Special Report" that the timing of the sanctions -- months after the alleged attacks -- is "ridiculous."... (more)
