I briefly cover the Democrat debate, which was as boring as ever (probably more so with the exit of Gabbard, Yang, Williamson).

I go on to discuss:

"The Plot to Politicize Banking"  -Phil Gramm et al.

"Barr Calls On Apple To Unlock Suspect's iPhones"  -Sadie Gurman et al.

"Environmental-Rule Proposal Aims to Speed Major Projects"  -Timothy Puko

"I Found Intolerance in Germany, and Not on the Right"  -Bruce Gilley

"Trump Delivers a Vital Christmas Gift" -Mary Vought

"Pompeo Explains the Iran Policy"  -Walter Russell Mead

"Let Bloomberg Be Bloomberg"  -William McGurn
