So families can quickly find their house is overflowing with presents, whether they like them or not. But as they say, it is the thought that counts. Well, one woman has blasted people who insist on giving children presents only to deliver "junk" - as she thinks it is far from thoughtful.

Agents stop hating zillow and embrace it
‘Defund the FBI?’ Sounds familiar. But not from this crowd.
So are the defunding tribes friends now? Just trying to keep up here. Because the traditionally pro-law enforcement folks on the right u-turned faster than a mall cop who'd passed a Krispy Kreme sign after law and order finally arrived at Mar-a-Lago this weekend. Suddenly, Trumpsters who recoiled when protesters dared chant "Black Lives Matter" after the police killing of George Floyd are borrowing one of their lines. "Defund the FBI," read the T-shirts that Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., began hawking after law enforcement officers retrieved boxes of allegedly top-secret documents from former president Donald Trump's home in Florida. They're just like the "Defund the Police" shirts that progressives began wearing after a police officer knelt on Floyd's neck long enough to kill him in 2020. And yes, Marjorie, all law enforcement agencies in our nation are flawed. But the facts were missing in the head-spinning flip-flops from politicians all weekend who soured on … [Read more...] about ‘Defund the FBI?’ Sounds familiar. But not from this crowd.

Tucker: No honest person could believe the Trump raid was a legitimate act of law enforcement
close Video Tucker Carlson: The Mar-a-Lago raid was a power grab Fox News host Tucker Carlson shreds the FBI's raid on former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago home on 'Tucker Carlson Tonight.' NEW You can now listen to Fox News articles! We've had a few days to reflect on it and have concluded that no honest person could believe that the raid on Donald Trump's home last week was a legitimate act of law enforcement. It was not. Even the Biden administration didn't really bother to pretend otherwise. The official explanations that we have heard for the raid make no sense at all. It doesn't matter how forcefully they are repeated by the media, they're nonsensical. In case you've forgotten what they are, here's the very first explanation they gave us. MICHAEL BESCHLOSS, HISTORIAN: Why did this guy have these ultra-classified documents in the basement of Mar-a-Lago unsecured, where they could be presumably broken in on or stolen or … [Read more...] about Tucker: No honest person could believe the Trump raid was a legitimate act of law enforcement
Kim Kardashian superfan spent £50k on surgery to look like the TV star
A Kim Kardashian superfan spent £50k on surgery to look like the TV star - and said that now people can't tell that she's Asian and the surgery was worth every penny. Cherri Lee, 28, grew up idolising the Kardashian's and made it her life's mission to keep up with them in every way, including their physical appearance. Cherri, whose South Korean name is Hanbyeol, had her first surgery at the age of just 20 - a procedure on her eyes to give her double eyelids. She went on to have several other facial and body surgeries to get the perfect Kardashian face and hourglass figure - totalling 15 surgeries in eight years. Her procedures have included three Brazilian butt lifts and two breast augmentations as well as countless facial surgeries. In total, she has now spent more than £50k on her glam look - and says she has changed her appearance so much that nobody even believes she is from Korea. She is a Kim K superfan ( Image: Cherri Lee / SWNS) She's spent £50k on … [Read more...] about Kim Kardashian superfan spent £50k on surgery to look like the TV star
What Bob Dole Hath Wrought
President Donald Trump’s unwillingness to concede the election is bad news for many reasons. One is that it all but guarantees that some portion of his followers will refuse to recognize the Biden administration’s legitimacy—just as some people did not recognize the Trump administration’s legitimacy, or the Obama administration’s legitimacy before it. President-elect Joe Biden is promising a return to normalcy, but the perception by some substantial part of the electorate that the American president is illegitimate is no longer an aberration in American politics. It is normal. This may have all started with Bob Dole. Although people tend to think of the former Senate majority leader, now 97 years old, as an old-school Republican of the pre-scorched-earth era, he was as early as 1993 a chief source of chaos and destabilization. When Bill Clinton routed the incumbent George H. W. Bush in the 1992 presidential election—bringing the Democrats to the White House for the first time in 12 … [Read more...] about What Bob Dole Hath Wrought
I-Day Speech: PM Narendra Modi Provides a Roadmap for [email protected]
The single largest takeaway for any Indian from Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Independence Day speech from the ramparts of Red Fort on the first morning of the 76th year of a free India is that there is now a deadline for when India must evolve into a developed nation. This is the first time in the history of independent India that a prime minister has presented not only a blueprint with instructions on how we can change our status from developing to developed, but has also put an end-date to the plan — 2047 or [email protected] Let this sink in. Never before has a prime minister presented to an aspirational India the ultimate dream to become a developed nation with a deadline to hold themselves, their political party and their government accountable in case of failure. We Indians, for decades, have made compromises in our aspirations telling ourselves that it is too unachievable a goal and too unrealistic a dream. Partly due to an uninspired, disinterested political leadership, and … [Read more...] about I-Day Speech: PM Narendra Modi Provides a Roadmap for [email protected]
Twitter thought police prepare for elections so they can censor political opponents
close Video ‘Moms for Liberty’ Twitter account locked out after criticizing California gender transition bill Co-founder of ‘Moms for Liberty’ Tina Descovich slams California bill to make the state a sanctuary for gender transitions by children. NEW You can now listen to Fox News articles! Twitter is preparing for the midterm elections. Per reports, Twitter will now "label and demote misinformation about the upcoming US elections." What could go wrong? We’ve seen this story before — the lefty "Big Tech" thought police targeting conservative influencers and ideas for censorship — and it certainly won’t be the last. For years, hiding behind Section 230, Twitter has abused its power to impact elections, manipulate public discourse, and disparage patriotic Americans. So, before anyone falls for Twitter’s election integrity Trojan horse, again, let us not forget why Twitter isn’t trustworthy enough to be the arbiter of what constitutes … [Read more...] about Twitter thought police prepare for elections so they can censor political opponents

Under the guise of protecting America, CIA chief Mike Pompeo is taking aim at the free press | Opinion
This article first appeared on Reason.com. Mike Pompeo, the former Republican congressman who is now President Donald Trump's director of the CIA, wants to protect America from fascism and authoritarian regimes by cracking down on media outlets that publish information he doesn't want them to. Wait … what ? Pompeo delivered a prepared speech at the Center for Strategic and International Studies on April 13 that was clearly intended to be a boisterous defense of what all our federal snoops do to keep America safe. But the intelligence community has had some issues with leaks the past few years, to put it mildly, and Pompeo's speech has him playing company man, insisting through sheer assertion that disclosures about what the CIA and intelligence community at large are doing is a threat to America's ability to keep people safe and fight terrorism. Pompeo's comments took a particularly dark turn when he addressed WikiLeaks. He does not like the media outlet, nor does he … [Read more...] about Under the guise of protecting America, CIA chief Mike Pompeo is taking aim at the free press | Opinion
