Happy Monday!

“T’was the week before Christmas, and all through the White House, creatures were dancing, and Americans groused.”

But first, glad to be back. Took a few long-planned days to check out Sight & Sound’s “Miracle of Christmas” in lovely Lancaster, Pa. … unfortunately, the days turned into the first half of a Nyquil commercial. So if I sound a little punchy, we can blame the pharmaceuticals.

And speaking of people who must be on drugs …

Jill Biden’s Posts Bizarre White House Christmas Video … Featuring BLM-Loving Dancers

My first thought was that someone gave Hunter Biden some “magic” mushrooms and a video camera. Others compared it to scenes of the Capitol in Hunger Games. I’m talking about the video Jill Biden posted last week to show off the White House decorations.

Forgoing the class and elegance and spirit of the season we would expect from the People’s House at Christmas, Dr. Jill chose to display this year’s decorations with the help of garishly-costumed dancers that would not only scare the tots but frighten the Ghost of Christmas Future. Rather than anything remotely close to the meaning of Christmas, the First Lady served up a “playful” take on the Nutcracker Suite.

A bit of magic, wonder, and joy brought to you by the talented tappers of Dorrance Dance, performing their playful interpretation of The Nutcracker Suite.

Enjoy! 💕 pic.twitter.com/qXtCm4t37o

Is it that bad? Well, no. Not when compared to the British burning the place down in 1814. And being married to a professional dancer, I’m not going to gripe when dancers get to kick-step to the front. But here’s the kicker. Of all the dance troupes one could hire for the video — troupes with beauty, skill and grace … and no bone to pick — Jill Biden selected Dorrance Dance. That’s a NYC-based troupe embracing all the radical woke nonsense that’s helping turn our society into a dystopian hellhole, including BLM and the abolishing of prisons. 

It’s not a coincidence that Jill Biden “brought bit of magic” to the White House by Dorrance Dance, the dance group that actively wants to abolish police, promotes BLM, pushes for trans and inmates rights and educates on “white privilege, systemic racism, white fragility, and… pic.twitter.com/CRBcOz1OVT

A disgraceful use of tax dollars? We’re not even getting started.

Senate Aide Fired After Videotaping Gay Sex Acts in Senate Hearing Room. Who Knew?

An aide to Maryland Senator Ben Cardin has been fired after being filmed having gay sex in a Senate hearing room. After the tape emerged Friday on Daily Caller, Aidan Maese-Czeropski played the victim, claiming he was “attacked for who I love to pursue a political agenda.” In other words, “Homophobia! Homophobia! Homophobia!” He also said he was exploring “legal action.”

Considering that people are doing hard time for putting their feet on Nancy Pelosi’s desk and just walking in the Capitol, the question is whether the Capitol Hill Police will pursue charges against this taxpayer-funded porn producer. They say they’re looking into the incident.

The Blaze spotted NBC News’ bizarre response to the story. NBC News blamed conservatives! Their headline: “Senate staffer alleged by conservative outlets to have had sex in a hearing room is no longer employed.” Alleged? There’s video. Graphic video.  (That’s not the only NBC News whopper of the week. See below.)

A more interesting response came from former North Carolina congressman Madison Cawthorn. He tweeted simply, “I told you.”

I told you.

In 2022, Cawthorn was brutally smacked-down (verbally) by then-Speaker Kevin McCarthy and other congressional leaders, and had his political career destroyed, after alleging he had been invited by older congressional members to sex and drug parties.

With Maese-Czeropski’s firing and the holidays, the bigger questions in this scandal will get buried. Was this a sole incident, or part of a wider pattern of perversion among Capitol Hill staffers and members? Daily Caller says the video was shared among a network of gays in politics before being leaked. Spectator reported before the Daily Caller story broke about numerous videos and photos from the aide. So how many people knew what was going on in the U.S. Capitol complex? What did Sen. Cardin know? Cardin’s office has been mum, declaring “We will have no further comment on this personnel matter.”

Uh, speaking as a Maryland resident, Cardin’s going to need to do better than that.  

FBI Sure Knows How to Prioritize. Forces Employees to Use “LGBTQIA+”

A couple weeks back, FBI Director Christopher Wray sat in a Senate hearing and expressed his dire concern that “so many of the (terrorism) threats are elevated at the same time.” He was seeing “blinking lights everywhere.”

So naturally, with Americans in such danger of terrorist attacks, the FBI is dedicating its time and resources to … forcing employees to now use “LGBTQIA+” instead of “LGBTQ+.” Former FBI agent turned whistleblower Kyle Seraphin revealed the email directive sent out to FBI staffers announcing the change recommended by “Bureau Equality, one of our nine Diversity Advisory Committees.” (Nine? Really?)

“Good news! It’s open season on Americans, but at least the ‘intersex’ and ‘Asexual/Aromantic’ get their own letter in the rainbow acronym!” We’re still waiting for the Sacred Name of the movement to gain every letter its acronym deserves: LGBTQMYNAMEISLEGION.

NBC News’ Stunning Take on Connecticut Girls Being Allowed to Sue Over Policy Allowing Dudes in Sports

Four female athletes who had been forced to compete against biological males will be allowed to sue Connecticut over state policy allows dudes in girl’s sports, a Federal court ruled Friday. The girls claim they were “deprived of honors and opportunities” because of losing to males in women’s events. The suit had been dismissed in 2022. However, the 2^nd Circuit Court of Appeals re-instated the case under Title IX. Alliance Defending Freedom represents the girls. It said:

Selina, Chelsea, Alanna, and Ashley—like all female athletes—deserve access to fair competition. The CIAC’s policy degraded each of their accomplishments and scarred their athletic records, irreparably harming each female athlete’s interest in accurate recognition of her athletic achievements.

Makes sense, right? But NBC News has a strange take, making it sound like the girls are the odd ducks: “A federal court will allow four cisgender runners to sue over Connecticut’s trans-inclusive policy, which they say deprived them of honors and opportunities.”
