Kentucky Senator Rand Paul released a video in which he recites a hilarious version of ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas. Paul’s take on the classic Christmas tale is a send-up of the $1.7 trillion federal spending bill that’s currently making its way through the U.S. Senate.
“The earmarks were hung by the chimney with care, in hopes that St. Nicholas would soon be there,” Senator Paul reads. “The Senators were nestled all snug in their beds while visions of pork danced in their heads.”

McConnell: I’m ‘Proud’ Republicans Spent $1.7 Trillion With Democrats
House Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is doing a victory lap after the Senate advanced a $1.7 trillion year-long federal government funding bill on Tuesday.
The bill runs more than 4,000 pages and includes $772.5 billion for non-defense discretionary programs and $858 billion in defense funding.
“Admittedly I’m pretty proud of the fact that with a Democratic president, Democratic House, and Democratic Senate, we were able to achieve through this Omnibus spending bill essentially all of our priorities,” McConnell told the press on Tuesday.

Marine Corps May Adopt Gender Neutral Terms for Drill Instructors
The Marine Corps is going woke!
The United States Marine Corps may be dropping terms like “sir” or “ma’am” in favor of more gender neutral language for drill instructors, according to a report in the Marine Corps Times.
The Marine Corps Times reports:
A new academic report on efforts to integrate Marine Corps boot camp recommends dropping gender-specific salutations for drill instructors, but service leaders are not convinced they want to take that step.
The lengthy report, commissioned by the Corps from the University of Pittsburgh in 2020 and completed in 2022, points out that half of the military services already have done away with gendered identifiers for training staff.
“The Army, Navy, and Coast Guard effectively de-emphasize gender in an integrated environment,” the report states. “Instead of saying ‘ma’am’ or ‘sir,’ recruits in these Services refer to their drill instructors using their ranks or roles followed by their last names. Gendered identifiers prime recruits to think about or visually search for a drill instructor’s gender first, before their rank or role.”

White House: People Are Not Just ‘Walking Across the Border.’ MSNBC: Yes, They Are.
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre is still wearing rose colored glasses when it comes to America’s southern border.
When pushed on the ongoing crisis at the border during Wednesday’s White House Press Briefing, Jean-Pierre told reporters, “It’s not just that people are walking across the border.”
Of course, Jean-Pierre’s claim is nonsense–that’s exactly what people are doing, and MSNBC has the video to prove it.
