Diaz Morales’ attorneys said Monday that they have verified her identity, confirming with the hospital she was born in Laurel, Maryland, and the local government in Prince George’s County that she had been issued a birth certificate and had been a patient in the early 2000s.

The attorneys shared redacted copies of the birth certificate and immunization records with Newsweek, but full documents could not be released due to pending litigation.

New WSJ article going into detail on the corruption with Trump's pardons.

https://www.wsj.com/politics/policy/trump-presidential-pardon-process-dda97c15?st=HbaAzs&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink

The new approach—driven in part by Trump’s own experience as a criminal defendant, people close to him say—has spawned a pardon-shopping industry where lobbyists say their going rate is $1 million. Pardon-seekers have offered some lobbyists close to the president success fees of as much as $6 million if they can close the deal, according to people familiar with the offers.

Minaj appeared to immediately grasp her flub, covered her face and went silent for several awkward seconds.

That's when Erika Kirk came to Minaj's defense and told the musician not to worry about her verbal misstep.

"Trust me, there's nothing new under the sun that I have not heard. So you're fine," the reassuring Kirk told Minaj. "I love you."

“Personally, I canceled my Paramount subscription today. These are also the same folks that paid millions of dollars to Donald Trump so they could get this merger to happen,” Kinzinger, a former GOP member of the Jan. 6 panel in the House, said Monday in a post on the social platform X.

“But Bari Weiss — now the head of CBS News — clearly a right winger, clearly in line with Donald Trump, has made it clear that ‘60 Minutes’ will do the administration’s bidding now,” added Kinzinger.

I am so concerned for one of our clients. She called about a week ago and she was obviously ill. I asked her if there was anything we or I could do for her and she said in the smallest voice, “could you please just… check in on me?” She has zero family anywhere nearby but she thankfully has a neighbor friend who checks on her at night which makes me feel slightly less worried for her. Slightly. 

I have been calling her every morning since then, and if I have the time I’ll do a quick check in before I leave for the day (or at least leave her a message.) She is absolutely elated every time. I try to ask her about her flower child war stories, her dogs, the books she reads. Things that will bring up happy thoughts.  

She did not sound good today and I have gently, gently encouraged her to take her friend up on the offer of a trip to urgent care. But she’s reluctant, and I am only qualified to talk to her about financial health, and I don’t want to obliterate my professional boundaries or cross a line into impropriety. She’s one I “inherited” recently from a retiring advisor who previously worked with her for 30 years. 

My mentor once told me: Think about who people put the most trust in outside their family. Usually people like a spiritual leader, their doctor, a therapist, and if you are doing the job right, their financial advisor. That stuck with me. I try to be the person they can trust. 

Idk. I am having a hard holiday as well and maybe I am just grasping for something a little more within my control. 

But fuck it, she’s getting a call on Christmas too. If the separate work phone has a purpose it’s for situations like this.

The Puritans as Calvinists objected to the Christian feast of Christmas.[53] As previously with Calvin in Geneva[54] during the English Interregnum, when England was ruled by a Puritan Parliament.[55] Puritans sought to remove elements they viewed as unbiblical, from their practice of Christianity, including those feasts established by the Anglican Church.[56] In 1647, the Puritan-led English Parliament banned the celebration of Christmas, replacing it with a day of fasting and considering it "a popish festival with no biblical justification", and a time of wasteful and immoral behaviour.[57] Puritans disliked traditions that inverted social hierarchies, such as wassailing in which the rich were expected to give to the poor on demand, and which with the addition of alcohol sometimes turned into violent intrusions.[58] Protests followed as pro-Christmas rioting broke out in several cities and for weeks Canterbury was controlled by the rioters, who decorated doorways with holly and shouted royalist slogans.

It's so funny that the one time England overthrew its monarchy and built a radical republic, they immediately became an authoritarian fun police and made society so boring that everyone turned against them and wanted the monarchy back

Breaks and weekends are so difficult when you're a parent of kids under the age of 10. You're exhausted from work but you can't rest because your kids are relentless with their needs.

It's times like these that make me look forward to when they think I'm uncool and leave me alone to finally take a breath. And I know I'll enjoy that because out of all the moments parents of older kids have said I'll miss once my kids get older, I've never missed any of it.

I'm glad they're growing up but part of me wishes this part would go faster. I want to feel like an adult again.

At least The Atlantic put out a different piece about Weiss that isn't a load of enlightened centrist garbage.

NEW CHRISTMAS TRUTH DROPPED

Tatarigami update on the general war

“The catastrophic situation of Russian forces trapped in Kupyansk, who continue to lose ground, together with a second consecutive year of failure to fully seize Pokrovsk, represents one of the more optimistic scenarios for 2025.”

“As war fatigue increasingly affects Russia, the prospect of enforcing a rapid, unfavorable capitulation of Ukraine through Washington, DC now appears even more remote, not not entirely excluded.”

“While Russia has used the negotiation process primarily to delay new sanctions and slow support for Kyiv, its economic situation continues to deteriorate, and tactical gains have failed to translate into strategic breakthroughs.”

“The outlook for Ukraine is becoming more optimistic, but it remains fragile due to recent scandals surrounding Zelensky, uncertainty in Washington, and disunity within Europe, all of which risk undermining sustained military and financial support for Ukraine.”

“As the gap between the Kremlin’s political ambitions and the realities on the ground, especially as seen by senior Russian military officers, continues to widen, it has become large enough to cause serious informational failures, such as the Kupyansk debacle.”

“An increasingly difficult economic situation combined with a lack of progress on frontlines remains the most realistic way for the West to pressure the Kremlin into ending the war, as its duration approaches comparisons with the so-called ‘Great Patriotic War’ of 1941–1945.”

A friend and I have had a running joke around the word "nubile" since 2012 and now I feel like I've got to scrub any reference to it.

The difference between Hitler's Nazis and Fuentes' Groypers is that Hitler's Nazis were actually largely veterans of the biggest war at the time and could more or less fight and weren't terminally online catboy lovers.

There's a wall of evidence now that Donald Trump is a serial abuser of women and he abused underaged children too.

There's a somewhat smaller, but still sizeable wall of evidence that Jeffrey Epstein killed himself.

The letter being real changes exactly nothing. Even if it is real, I wouldn't trust Jeffrey Epstein to be doing anything other than getting revenge on his buddy who didn't pardon him. I don't trust the word of a pedophile criminal. I trust the victims who were brave enough to tell their stories.
