MONROE CROSSED THE DELAWARE WITH WASHNGTON: Don Surber provides a wealth of fascinating detail about Gen. George Washington’s daring surprise attack on Christmas against the Hessians at Trenton.
Among those with Washington in that hugely significant operation was another future president, James Monroe, who was severely wounded and very nearly died but for the effective treatment of one Dr. Riker.

COVID FOUR YEARS AGO: Jill breaks White House rules to go maskless as Joe is accused of staging bizarre dancing nurses show at the White House to distract from his catastrophic failure to order enough COVID test kits.
President Joe Biden was slammed on Thursday for holding Christmas festivities at the White House this week, complete with nurses singing ‘We Need a Little Christmas’ and a maskless First Lady, as critics claimed the event was ‘tone deaf’ and meant to distract from the president’s COVID policy failures.
The White House invited the famous Northwell Health’s Nurse Choir to perform at this year’s ‘Spirit of the Season’ TV special Tuesday night, and many were quick to point out the poor visuals of happy nurses singing amid the current Omicron surge.
The performance also featured some singers without masks, as well as a maskless Jill Biden off to the side, despite the White House’s indoor mask mandate in place.
To add to the schizophrenia, just a few days before the dancing TikTok nurses appeared with “Dr.” Jill,” the Biden Politburo was telling the rest of America — just in time for Christmas — that the Winter of Death was at hand:
MERRY CHRISTMAS:
HEH, INDEED: Trump tells children ‘coal is beautiful and clean’ while on Santa watch.
Donald Trump told children that coal is “beautiful and clean” as he asked young callers about what presents they wanted from Father Christmas this year.
The US president marked Christmas Eve by quizzing children on their wishlists, while promising to not let a “bad Santa” infiltrate the country and even suggesting that a stocking full of coal may not be so bad.
Mr Trump and Melania, the first lady, spoke to children from Mar-a-Lago in the tradition of talking to youngsters who have called the North American Aerospace Defense Command (Norad), which tracks Santa’s progress around the globe.
Asked by an eight-year-old girl in Kansas what she would like Santa to bring, the answer came back: “Uh, not coal.”
“You mean clean, beautiful coal?,” Mr Trump replied, echoing a favoured campaign slogan he has long used when promising to revive domestic coal production.
“I had to do that, I’m sorry,” the president added, laughing.
It certainly beats the programming that blue state parents and teachers have been doing to kids for years: How to talk to children about their anxiety over climate change. But beyond the lack of environmental doomsday talk, will anyone in the DNC-MSM mention that after four years of Biden needing cue cards and cheat sheets just to simulate conversations with his party’s operatives with bylines, we once again have a president who can talk without a script?
He stopped doing anything unscripted after this great troll on Christmas Eve, 2021. 😂https://t.co/gLoy58KiJ3

Four years ago, writer and racing driver Jack Baruth left the suburbs, with his wife, to build a home in rural Ohio. Their twelve empty acres proved to be anything but. In this collection of short stories, he details a bitter and bloody feline struggle for control of field and forest between scar-faced, furtive Albino Kitty and muscular, pitiless Tiger Dad. Against a dark background of deadly winters and relentless coyotes, Albino and Tiger fight tooth and nail against each other, a few formidable interlopers, and their own ambitious sons. Each believes that only one of them can survive, and they are right.
