* This Day In History: December 23, 1913: The Federal Reserve Is Unconstitutionally, Criminally Created - On this day in 1913 President Woodrow Wilson signed the Federal Reserve Act into 'Pretend Legislation / law'!

* Shame: Biden signs stopgap funding bill into law, according to White House.

* Shame On Trump: "Congress must get rid of, or extend out to, perhaps 2029, the ridiculous Debt Ceiling," Trump wrote on Truth Social early Friday morning. "Without this, we should never make a deal. Remember, the pressure is on whoever is President."

* What’s in the deal: The latest plan would extend government funding into March and includes disaster relief and farming provisions, but does not include a suspension of the debt limit, which President-elect Donald Trump has been demanding that Republicans address.

* Trump Threatens to Reclaim Panama Canal? - At issue are the fees Panama charges US ships to pass through the canal, which he called exorbitant.

"It was given to Panama and to the people of Panama, but it has provisions, you gotta treat us fairly and they haven't treated us fairly," - Panama must follow the principles, both moral and legal, of this magnanimous gesture of giving.

* Have You Read? - The Path Between The Seas - David Mccullough.
