REINCE PRIEBUS: TRUMP RUSSIA MEMO IS ‘BASED ON GARBAGE, IT’S TOTAL CRAP’
Media outlets run with unconfirmed 35-page report
A new storm has surfaced which the media is now using to their advantage in an attempt to knock the president-elect down just nine days before he takes office on Jan. 20. Newly emerging anti-Trump propaganda, originally submitted by U.S. Sen. John McCain to the F.B.I. in December, is now making its rounds on unreliable news platforms like BuzzFeed.com and CNN.

CNN, Buzzfeed Damaged Media’s Ability to Hold Trump Accountable
By reporting on, and publishing, a salacious, unsubstantiated, and likely false dossier of lurid accusations against President-elect Donald Trump, CNN and Buzzfeed have hurt the media’s ability to hold the new administration accountable in future. The dossier had apparently circulated for months among journalists and political operatives — it was the apparent evidence that Trump opponents such as GOP consultant Rick Wilson hoped would destroy him — but none trusted it enough to print it. In this case, there is no real evidence whatsoever of the allegations, and significant evidence to the contrary, including evidence of a hoax.

HUDSON: OF BURGERS AND BEEFY ATHLETES
Steve Hudson was born into a downtown dynasty. Hudson and his younger brother, Todd, are fourth-generation owners of Hudson’s Hamburgers on Sherman Avenue, which is far more than a funky little burger joint. Hudson’s is an institution that has been featured in newspapers across the country, and has been Coeur d’Alene’s heart and soul for 110 years. Year after year, it just builds on success almost to the point where it’s out of control.

If President-elect Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress are serious about coming through on the campaign promise to “drain the swamp,” it would serve them well to look to the states. They should consider introducing legislation that is modeled after a provision that is present in nearly every state constitution, which was originally created to prohibit public expenditures that primarily benefit private entities. One of the single most important ways to “drain the swamp” is to ensure that special interests, whether those favored by the right or left, cannot profit off of the government. In addition, it is crucial that tax dollars are only spent to the benefit of the public not any individual, association, or corporation.

Overregulation Kills Beloved Neighborhood Restaurant
For over two decades, “China Fun” has been a culinary staple in the Second Avenue neighborhood of Manhattan. Known throughout the community as the go-to spot for peerless soup dumplings and piquant General Tso’s chicken, many locals have been heartbroken to learn their favorite restaurant has decided to close its doors forever. In a letter posted to the front doors of the restaurant last week, the owners wrote, “The climate for small businesses like ours in New York have become such that it’s difficult to justify taking risks and running — never mind starting — a legitimate mom-and-pop business.” The letter continued, “The state and municipal governments, with their punishing rules and regulations, seem to believe that we should be their cash machine to pay for all that ails us in society.” In addition to the numerous licenses, permits, and fees required to open a small business, government-sponsored healthcare programs and mandatory increases to the minimum wage disproportionately affect mom and pop establishments.

Far from presenting a saccharine, rosy-eyed view on the glories of democracy, George Lucas gives a more realistic perspective on politics.

How the Left’s Narrative on Crime Makes Communities Worse Off
Today’s level of lawlessness and insecurity in many black communities is a relatively new phenomenon. What changed everything was the liberal vision that blamed crime on poverty and racial discrimination. Stats show that black-on-black crime is far more serious than police shootings.
The Real Reason for the Left’s All-Out Assault on Jeff Sessions
For years going back before the Obama era, the Justice Department has served as a reliable signal caller to increasingly leftward actors that utilize racialized interpretations of law—particularly election policy—to ensure future political victories for Democrats.

In January, 1961, Dwight Eisenhower delivered his farewell address after serving two terms as U.S. president; the five-star general chose to warn Americans of this specific threat to democracy: “In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.” Trump's critics can do him no bigger favor than using dubious, discredited tactics to attack him. There is real danger here that this maneuver can harshly backfire, to the great benefit of Trump and to the great detriment of those who want to oppose him.

This all comes at a time of growing fears over a possible recession in Mexico in 2017. A state monopoly on the oil industry has been impoverishing Mexicans for decades. Yet, the market is blamed for the economy's woes.
