I offer a few thoughts on air disasters, Kobe Bryant, and enjoying sandwiches.

I recap some fascinating columns from Kimberley Strassel Re: The FBI lying to the FISA court.  I also read some great bits from Scott Adams' new book Loserthink.

The show starts off light:  In WW2, the RAF attributed its nighttime success to carrots to hide a secret.

Then:  "Stay Woke, Drop Out" -Strassel

"Boomer Socialism Led to Bernie Sanders"  -Ukueberuwa

"The New War Against Africa's Christians"  -Levy

The last of these I had not decided to read prior to the show, having highlighted the passages I found interesting a couple of weeks ago.  I had forgotten how graphic it was, so when I slow down that's part of the reason.  Should have reviewed it just prior to recording.

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

Iranians are protesting their government in the aftermath of the Ukrainian mass manslaughter.  Donald Trump has announced support for them, but none of the top Democrats have.  Why?

Journalists are implying that America is to blame for the Ukrainian planes' downing.  Why?  (hint:  The answer to both questions is the same)

In other news, the US just saw its most dramatic single-year cancer decrease ever.

Britons are using dramatically less stuff than they did 20 years ago, measured in weight per person.  You'd think environmentalists would be jumping for joy, but in fact they're retarding progress by opposing, for instance, nuclear power plants.
