Happy holidays! Have yourself a merry Christmas, happy Hanukkah, winsome Kwanzaa, and a rip-roaring Boxing Day listening to David Waldman on today’s KITM.

It’s Beyoncé's world, but she will allow us to be entertained by her. It’s Trump’s America, and he will allow us to have a democracy for as long as it pleases him. He will even allow God, as long as he gets a piece of the action.

The 119th Congress will be a lot like the 118th, except that the president is a sociopathic megalomaniacal dictator wannabe, and his buddy Donald Trump’s a jerk too. House Speaker Mike Johnson might have his work cut out for him, or not… if he does the right thing.

Trump picked his ambassador in charge of manifest destiny in Panama. Kevin Marino Cabrera might hope to learn something in his new job, but he might be wise to not learn too much.

Today’s overseas news is also Finland and Estonia’s overseas news. Finland suspects an oil tanker dragging its anchor caused a communications cable break.  but we really know who Finland suspects.

Finland teaches their school children how to spot misinformation. Hopefully they can teach us as our State Department unit in charge of identifying and tracking foreign propaganda has been Eloned.
