"Merry Christmas to all, including the Radical Left Scum that is doing everything possible to destroy our Country, but are failing badly. We no longer have Open Borders, Men in Women's Sports, Transgender for Everyone, or Weak Law Enforcement. What we do have is a Record Stock Market and 401K's, Lowest Crime numbers in decades, No Inflation, and yesterday, a 4.3 GDP, two points better than expected. Tariffs have given us Trillions of Dollars in Growth and Prosperity, and the strongest National Security we have ever had. We are respected again, perhaps like never before. God Bless America! President DJT" read more

"For more than two weeks, Syanislav Orlov's death, first rumored online on 9 Dec, was the subject of intense speculation and debate. Kremlin-linked Russian news websites and independent outlets soon reported that Orlov was not killed on the battlefield in Ukraine, but was ambushed and shot at his home in Russian-annexed Crimea by Moscow's own security services.

On Monday, Astra, an anti-war outlet operating in exile, published CCTV footage that it said showed the moments before Orlov was killed, with a group of armed Russian servicemen arriving outside his house, followed by the sound of gunshots. Astra reported that an ambulance only arrived to collect Orlov's body six hours later.

Analysts say Orlov's death reflects a broader, increasingly visible crackdown by the Kremlin on renegade ultranationalist figures and semi-autonomous armed groups as a result of the Wagner mutiny."

An international arrest warrant issued by the ICC for war crimes remains active for Russia President Vladimir Putin. An indictment is merely an allegation. Mr. Putin is presumed innocent until proven guilty in an international tribunal to be held for him at the Hague at a future date.

The Democratic Congressional letter to Dummkopf Trumpf continues:

"Since the start of the current ceasefire agreement on 10 Oct 2025, at least 356 Palestinians have been killed and more than 900 have been injured by Israeli attacks. On 29 Nov, the IDF killed two brothers, aged 8 and 10, in a drone strike after they crossed into an Israeli-controlled area of Gaza, referring to the children as "suspects" in a statement that failed to acknowledge they were children. The total death toll from the war in Gaza has now surpassed 70,000, including over 20,000 children."

"Additionally, since the beginning of the ceasefire Israeli forces have reportedly destroyed more than 1,500 buildings, many of which did not appear to be damaged prior to being destroyed. These actions raise significant concerns that Israel could be acting in violation of international humanitarian law which prohibits the destruction of civilian property unless absolutely necessary for military operations. We also are gravely concerned that the Israeli government is not allowing sufficient levels of humanitarian aid to enter Gaza."

The hardworking American taxpayer has sent Israel, a prosperous nuclear-armed country with world class universal healthcare for its residents and a better ranked social security program than the US, $298 billion since 1948 (www.congress.gov).

An international arrest warrant issued by the ICC for crimes against humanity remains active for Benjamin Netanyahu and the Istanbul Public Prosecutor issued arrest warrants for him and 32 other Israelis accused of committing war crimes. An indictment is merely an allegation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law or an international tribunal at the Hague.


Excerpted from the lawsuit:

"The District of Columbia denies law-abiding citizens the ability to register a wide variety of commonly used semi-automatic firearms, such as the Colt AR-15 series rifles, which is among the most popular of firearms in America, and a variety of other semi-automatic rifles and pistols that are in common use."

The lawsuit is seeking a "permanent injunction prohibiting all DC Defendants from arresting and levying fines against otherwise law-abiding citizens for possessing the AR-15 and all other firearms protected by the Second Amendment and being possessed or used for lawful purposes."

The plaintiff, andrew.darlington@usdoj.gov, did not demand a jury trial for this civil case. The Court Clerk has not yet selected which judge in the District of Columbia will try the case and therefore there is no case number yet.

In an average year, 174 people die and 927 are wounded by guns in the District of Columbia. Our nation's capital has the highest rate of gun violence in the US. Gun violence costs the District of Columbia $2.0 billion each year, of which $106.4 million is paid by taxpayers ($2,844 per resident each year).

According to the Gun Violence Archive, the US experiences an average of about seven to eight mass shootings per week. There have been 398 mass shootings in the US so far this year, using the definition of four or more people shot in a single incident, excluding the perpetrator. This averages to roughly one mass shooting every 18 hours, or about 7.6 per week.
