Jon Kyl, who temporarily replaced the late Senator John McCain in the U.S. Senate is, as expected, stepping down as of December 31, the end of the legislative calendar. He previously served three terms in the Senate alongside McCain.

Several months ago, about 50 heavily armed cops temporarily shut down the Dr. Farrah Agustin-Bunch Natural Medical Center in the Philippines. That country’s Food and Drug Administration, without granting any due process, apparently authorized the raid.
Perhaps by announcing before the vote that she won’t seek reelection in 2022, beleaguered U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May has survived a non-confidence vote in the House of Commons, the British parliament.
Update: May is returning to London where she will face a no-confidence vote on Wednesday in the House of Commons. The results are expected to be released at around 4 p.m. U.S. Eastern time.
Could the Trump shutdown be on the horizon?
U.S. President Donald Trump is perhaps the only politician in living memory that appears to act same behind the scenes as he is in front of the camera.
Never Trump, which some say puts the “con” in conservative/neo-con, is a losing proposition. Glenn Beck’s financially challenged The Blaze network, for example, forfeited a tremendous amount of traffic once it went Never Trump and has now merged with CRTV. And it looks like The Weekly Standard could be shutting down entirely.
Democrats and their media sycophants have ignored or dismissed voter fraud around the country, even in instances when indictments occur. But they have suddenly concluded that “nonexistent” voter fraud is real and needs to be thoroughly investigated because it allegedly may have benefited the Republican candidate in a North Carolina congressional district.
Conservative firebrand Laura Loomer has handcuffed herself to the front door of Twitter headquarters in New York City to protest online censorship and is live-streaming the encounter. Twitter recently put Loomer’s account on a permanent suspension.
Update: the NYPD has reportedly arrested Laura Loomer.
So Laura Loomer handcuffed herself to the Twitter headquarters.https://t.co/iWI2O2qyMz

Although Loomer — who often uses the left’s confrontational tactics against them — is receiving criticism by dismissive liberals and conservatives, especially the blue-check Twitter cohort, the demonstration continues with a heavy police presence. It doesn’t appear that she is leaving anytime soon.
That said, in this era of politically motivated social media suspensions, outright bans, shadowbanning, de-platforming, de-monetization, inflated or squelched trends, and so on, is this form of street theater completely out of line?
I support Laura Loomer. https://t.co/FPiPM36Av3

In June 2017, Loomer, an independent journalist, rushed the stage at Shakespeare in the Park during a contemporary interpretation of Julius Caesar to protest the the assassination of a Trump lookalike in the play’s Caesar role.
Y'all liberals (I love you all) who read me don't get this Laura Loomer stuff.
Breaking the 4-minute mile was seen as impossible. Roger Bannister broke it, and since then 1,400 followed him.
"Conservatives" never engaged in left-wing style activism.
Today the game changed.
Brexit champion Nigel Farage admits that the pending withdrawal agreement is a good deal…for the European Union. For the United Kingdom, just the opposite.
In the Brexit back and forth, Conservative Prime Minister Theresa May and her team essentially gave away the store, plus the farm and the fisheries, to EU chief negotiator Michel Barnier with next to nothing in return. Given the one-sided outcome, Farage says it’s the worst deal in history.
In the June 23, 2016, referendum, the British public voted to leave or exit the EU and reclaim the country’s sovereignty, including control over its borders, Virtually the entire political and media establishment coalesced around the anti-Brexit or “Remain” viewpoint.
Leave Doesn’t Mean Leave?
May’s plan, which already gained the quick approval of EU top leadership, seems to be Brexit in Name Only or soft/fake Brexit, or even worse. That’s because the U.K. will lose its voting representation in the EU Parliament while still subject to EU governance if May’s plan goes through.
Speaking at the European Parliament where he is a member, Farage pointed out that the flawed deal “keeps Britain in the Customs Union and stuck with the EU’s rulebook.” See clip below.
I bet Barnier can hardly believe his luck that he has come up against someone as weak as @Theresa_May. pic.twitter.com/js1HZ379UD

Perhaps one of the world’s best orators who speaks without relying on a teleprompter, Farage also predicted that the British Parliament, the House of Commons, would vote against the deal when it comes up on or about December 11.
He again insisted that a no-deal outcome would allow the U.K. to effectively negotiate individual trade deals under World Trade Organization rules when the country officially separates from the EU on March 29, 2019.
May Receives a Message
Several vocal pro-Brexit members of parliament have sent a letter to Theresa May asking that she change course before the vote because the deal she is pushing makes “a no-deal scenario more likely.”
Based on current atmospherics and what the bookies think, most parliamentarians in the Conservative and Labor parties intend to vote down the deal, but never underestimate the ability of politicians to cave.
A devoted globalist, May supported the Remain side in the referendum, but upon taking office as prime minister, promised that Brexit means Brexit and she would honor the will of the people.
She also said that no deal is better than a bad deal.

Theresa May’s Brexit Deal Is a Tough Sell or Sell Out
Westmonster published the letter, signed by Brexiteer luminaries such as Jacob Rees-Mogg, Priti Patel, David Davis, which reads in part:
“But while respecting your efforts, we have grave concerns that your proposal does not take back control of our borders our money and our laws; does not permit us to negotiate new trade deals with the rest of the world; and does not safeguard our own precious United Kingdom…Being unable to leave the customs union without the EU’s permission would place the UK into a legal black hole. This is unprecedented in international treaty law.”
The authors also note that May’s plan requires the British taxpayer to fork over to the EU an estimated $39 billion and “hand the EU the keys to our destiny.”
For reasons that defy common sense, Northern Ireland would also be subject to more onerous EU rules than the rest of the U.K. under May’s agreement.
To protect British interests, this Brexiteer group also recommends that the short-from, so-called Brexit Political Declaration have the same legal effect as the complicated, EU-friendly Withdrawal Agreement itself. They also advocated a Canadian-style free-trade deal that would free Britain of the heavy-handed EU oversight and bureaucracy.

An MSNBC reporter on the scene contradicted the mainstream media narrative that Central American migrants are primarily women and children and were comprised of those seeking political asylum rather than economic benefits.
The media rolled out this same trope in promoting open-borders, mass-immigration policies in Europe.
Said fair-and-balanced reporter MSNBC Gadi Schwartz:
“You’re going to see a lot of families here, a lot of women and children, but the truth is the majority of the people that are part of this caravan … the majority of them are men…From what we’ve seen, the majority are actually men, and some of these men have not articulated that need for asylum. Instead, they have talked about going to the United States for a better life and to find work.”
Hopefully this reporter won’t be hauled into HR for straying from the liberal groupthink.
The echo chamber is also engaging in predictable faux outrage over border patrol agents using tear gas on mostly adult male migrants who were throwing rocks and bottles at them.
Yet another example of a quote attributed to playwright/filmmaker David Mamet who apparently opined that “In order to continue advancing their illogical arguments modern liberals have to pretend not to know things…”
The Democrat-media establishment seems to have forgotten that the Obama administration also used the same techniques at the border when necessary.
I'm certain that all of the media figures attacking @realDonaldTrump for using tear gas at the border publicly spoke out against Obama for doing the same when he was in office.
Our fair & balanced media would never engage in selective outrage. 🙄https://t.co/imOmDZ0kiy
