Far-Left Guardian, Julia Wong Deliberately Omit Key Facts in Piece Smearing Breitbart
In a breach of journalistic ethics, Julia Wong from the far-left British newspaper Guardian deliberately omitted key facts in a recently published smear job of Breitbart News and is refusing to come clean about the article, including the decision to allow the discredited Southern Poverty Law Center to make disparaging claims while leaving out Breitbart’s responses.

J.C. WHITE HOUSE MOVE UNEARTHS BURIED TREASURES
As a Nov. 16 crowd of local lookie-loos watched a semi truck haul the J.C. White House to its new home near the base of Tubbs Hill, a team of local historians swapped their curiosity caps with their Indiana Jones fedoras. The archaeologists spent the day living every history buff’s dream: Exploring a freshly-excavated discovery from an ancient ruin. “We recovered some beautiful pieces,” said Jocelyn Babcock, development director for the Museum of North Idaho. “We were really excited about their condition.” Babcock said once the White House left its Sherman Avenue address — the iconic home’s familiar perch for the past 116 years — explorers found a local treasure trove of artifacts. The remains of the White House lore do more than provide curios for pawn shops: Museum officials say the artifacts will help better understand the early days of Coeur d’Alene’s boom. “One of the coolest things we found was the mortar ball,” John Swallow, CEO of New Jersey Mining and one of the men responsible for physically moving the White House to its newest locations, told The Press. The mortar ball was found beneath the White House porch after the move, buried in shallow dirt.

Poland’s communist-era primate recalled for sanctity, statesmanship
When plans were announced in October for the beatification of Cardinal Stefan Wyszynski, fresh tributes poured in for the man who steered Poland’s Catholic Church through dark years of communist rule. The former primate will be declared blessed - a step on the way to sainthood - June 7 at an open-air Mass in Warsaw. While supporters are recalling his personal strength in defending the church against relentless opponents, they also are stressing his sanctity as a figure of prayer and devotion.

It's time to retire metrics like GDP. They don't measure everything that matters
The world is facing three existential crises: a climate crisis, an inequality crisis and a crisis in democracy. Will we be able to prosper within our planetary boundaries? Can a modern economy deliver shared prosperity? And can democracies thrive if our economies fail to deliver shared prosperity? These are critical questions, yet the accepted ways by which we measure economic performance give absolutely no hint that we might be facing a problem. Each of these crises has reinforced the fact that we need better tools to assess economic performance and social progress.

Pelosi Using Impeachment as ‘Political Weapon,’ Charges Sen. John Kennedy of Louisiana
Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) on Sunday slammed the House’s impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump for chasing after a “red herring” when trying to determine whether the president tied foreign aid to Ukraine to an investigation into his political rivals, and he attacked House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) for making impeachment proceedings a “political weapon.”

Schumer Shares Confusing ‘Whistleblower’ Tweet Referencing Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman
During last week’s public impeachment (sham) hearings on Capitol Hill, the desperate Democrats trotted out Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman. Vindman, of the National Security Council, appeared before the House Intelligence Committee and offered nothing in the way of “evidence,” in my view, to prove that President Donald Trump did anything wrong during his July 25 phone call — of which we all read the transcript — with Ukraine President Volodymr Zelensky.

Elise Stefanik on Adam Schiff’s Push for Impeachment: Americans ‘Could See How Partisan’ It’s Been
“You took on Adam Schiff. “What was that like?” asked Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo of Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) on “Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo.” Stefanik is the young GOP lawmaker who distinguished herself over these past two weeks during the televised House Intelligence Committee impeachment inquiry hearings because of her direct, bold and no-nonsense questions of the witnesses called before the committee. Stefanik responded, “The American people could see firsthand how partisan this process has been from the start.
