I am in the Oval Office & just gave out a 115-mile long contract for another large section of the Wall in Texas. We are already building and renovating many miles of Wall, some complete. Democrats must end Shutdown and finish funding. Billions of Dollars, & lives, will be saved!

I am all alone (poor me) in the White House waiting for the Democrats to come back and make a deal on desperately needed Border Security. At some point the Democrats not wanting to make a deal will cost our Country more money than the Border Wall we are all talking about. Crazy!

Saudi Arabia has now agreed to spend the necessary money needed to help rebuild Syria, instead of the United States. See? Isn’t it nice when immensely wealthy countries help rebuild their neighbors rather than a Great Country, the U.S., that is 5000 miles away? Thanks to Saudi A!

The Wall is different than the 25 Billion Dollars in Border Security. The complete Wall will be built with the Shutdown money plus funds already in hand. The reporting has been inaccurate on the point. The problem is, without the Wall, much of the rest of Dollars are wasted!

I never “lashed out” at the Acting Attorney General of the U.S., a man for whom I have great respect. This is a made up story, one of many, by the Fake News Media!

2…………>A Child Is Born: Bethlehem

 

As the twinkling lights of the zodiacs above have bashfully surrounded the brilliant star that has risen over Bethlehem and the world, let’s celebrate the birth of a child, a son of God that has come to shine the golden rays of his love and mercy on us.

 

Merry Christmas from Miss KotKot 1581

 

3…………>Urbi et Orbi: Pope Francis

 

The Pope has used his annual Christmas message to appeal for peace in conflict zones including Yemen and Syria.

The two countries have both been ravaged by civil war for years, pushing their people into humanitarian crises.

“My wish for a happy Christmas is a wish for a fraternity. Fraternity among individuals of every nation and culture,” Pope Francis said on Tuesday.

The Pontiff was giving his yearly “Urbi et Orbi” (To the City and to the World) address in the Vatican.

“My thoughts turn to Yemen, in the hope that the truce brokered by the international community may finally bring relief to all those children and people exhausted by war and famine,” he said from the balcony of St Peter’s Basilica, addressing the square below.

He also said he hoped the international community would “work decisively for a political solution” in Syria – a country that is approaching its eighth year of civil war.

“So that the Syrian people, especially all those who were forced to leave their own lands and seek refuge elsewhere, can return to live in peace in their own country,” he added.

4…………>Back To Bethlehem: The Believers

 

Security was tight with security personnel and vehicles stationed around Manger Square, as the biblical city of Bethlehem, in the West Bank, is expected to host 10,000 visitors on Christmas Eve, after a busy tourist year that saw 3 million people visited the birthplace of our Lord.

“Standing before the manger, we understand that the food of life is not material riches but love, not gluttony but charity, not ostentation but simplicity,” said Pope Francis, leader of the Catholic Church, who celebrated a Christmas Eve Mass in St Peter’s Basilica dressed in simple white vestments, opening a busy week that will include a Christmas Day message and blessing, a prayer on Boxing Day, New Year’s Eve vespers and a mass on New Year’s Day.

Gold up to 1271.8 and USD/CHF at 1.00 due to President Trump setting tariffs on Chinese products. Translation? As the dollar goes down, we have to wait and see if the new Fed Chair Jerome Powell will continue pressuring gold and the Eurasian block with it down below $1000/oz in an economic WW3. Watch cover short stop at 22200.

Both Russia and China have been buying their total gold production in local gold backed currency instead of money printing machines,  with the US losing controls of the precious metals complex, and with Trump’s infrastructure and tax cut campaign assuring that the National debt will soon be at, or over 30 trillion dollars, since D.C. swamp alligators have no intention of dropping their pet projects. Read “Ziban Must Die” for more details on the coming collision of Trump’s administration with “Deep State” operators funded by the billionaires’ supporters of the New World Disorder.

1…………> Trump vs Bezos: Start Paying

President Donald Trump has cranked up his attacks on Amazon, accusing the online retail giant is ripping off the US Postal Service.

[The US Post Office would lose $1.50] “on average for each package it delivers for Amazon”. If the P.O. ‘increased its parcel rates, Amazon’s shipping costs would rise by $2.6 Billion.’ This Post Office scam must stop. Amazon must pay real costs (and taxes) now!”  he tweeted, suggesting also said the Washington Post newspaper was a “lobbyist” for Amazon.


Amazon owner Jeff Bezos also owns the Washington Post, which has reported on stories including Robert Mueller’s continuing investigation into links between the Trump election campaign and Russia, as well as his relationship with porn star Stormy Daniels, and details how three different legal teams are digging for dirt in the Trump Organization’s accounts.

2…………> Banzai Fleet: Whale Killers

Three ships from a Japanese whale-hunting fleet returned to their home port of Shimonoseki, carrying on board 333 minke whales harpooned during a trip into the Antarctic Ocean, as Tokyo claims the slaughter is for “scientific purposes”  despite international protests and condemnation.


Japan is a signatory to the International Whaling Commission moratorium on whale hunting, but makes use of a loophole that allows the mammals to be killed for scientific research.

Although minke whales grow only to some 33 feet in length, they are still categorized as great whales.

3…………> An Elephant Named Xi: South China Sea

ASEAN countries agreed to begin negotiating a “code of conduct” to iron out tensions over natural resources, trade routes, and island territories pose a threat to regional stability, despite China attempts to prevent member countries from exploiting those areas and prevent drill oil and gas drilling and control fisheries, and in fact has illegally built large island bases in the Spratly Islands in an attempt to project power with ships and helicopters and potentially planes to actually control the sea areas.

When China occupied Mischief Reef in the Philippine Sea, it started as a series of bamboo huts on stilts and is now an artificial island with a runway that is 3 kilometers long and massive buildings and radar towers as it is has done in the Scarborough Shoal.


“This is ours and nobody should take it away from us, and by compromising in effect we are giving up our territory.’ They see it very much in territorial terms. And that’s the problem”, experts are warning about Mr.Xi government pirating out other nations territories.

5…………> Easter Celebrations: He Has RisenCelebrations are underway around the world as Christian communities mark Jesus Christ’s resurrection on Easter Sunday, from solemn rituals to chocolate egg hunts, each has its own unique way to commemorate one of Christianity’s most significant days. 

In Vatican City, Pope Francis led Easter mass under tight security in front of tens of thousands of faithful pilgrims, as “El Santo Padre” delivered his traditional Easter blessing and message from the balcony of St Peter’s Basilica.

Meanwhile, hundreds of Christians flocked to Jerusalem’s Church of the Holy Sepulchre, built on the site where they believe Jesus was crucified, buried and resurrected. 

Worshippers prayed and sang hymns in the church in Jerusalem’s Old City as they lined up to admire the edicule — the chamber that tradition says marks Jesus’s tomb.

1…………..> The Russian Bear: UK

Britain’s Royal Air Force scrambled two fighter jets to intercept Russian bombers near UK airspace, deploying Typhoon aircraft from the Lossiemouth base in Scotland as two Tupolev TU-160 Blackjack bombers approached Britain.

“The Russian aircraft were initially monitored by a variety of friendly nation fighters and subsequently intercepted by the RAF in the North Sea,” the air force said.
“At no point did the Russian aircraft enter sovereign UK airspace.”

Two Belgian F-16 jets from a base at Florennes were also sent to intercept the Russian planes, according to Belgian media.

The incident is one of several in recent years as Russian military planes test NATO and British air defences.

2…………> Torture Chamber: CA

A Perris, California police officers were “shocked” to discover that seven of thirteen people held captive in a debilitated house, including some “shackled to their beds with chains and padlocks” were actually adults aged between 18 and 29.

“The victims appeared to be malnourished and very dirty,” police stated after one of the victims managed to escape and call the emergency number “from a cellular device she found inside the house”, according to the Riverside Sheriff’s Department. David Allen Turpin, 57, and Louise Anna Turpin, 49, were held on charges of torture and child endangerment.

3…………> El Santo Padre Welcome: Chile

Pope Francis has arrived in Chile, welcomed by Chilean President Michelle Bachelet after he touched down at Santiago’s international airport. 


With than 500,000 people lining the streets to greet him, waving Chilean flags and chanting “Viva Papa Francisco” expected to attend an open-air Mass in Santiago, the pope is then due to travel to Temuco, south of Santiago, and to the northern city of Iquique, before heading to Peru on Thursday.

The pope is expected to use his trip to draw attention to the plight of immigrants and the persecuted indigenous Mapuche community, the victims of General Pinochet’s brutal 1973-1990 military dictatorship, and finally the thorny issue of priest sex abuse, all along shielded by a massive security operation involving 18,000 police, 20 aircraft and seven drones for the pontiff’s visit.

Pope Francis says he is ‘very afraid’ of nuclear war as he shows reporters aboard his plane a photo of a Nagasaki victim.

4…………>Trump’s Operation “Overlord”: Korean Peninsula

 A Fort Bragg, North Carolina, military drill in which 48 Apache helicopter gunships and Chinook cargo helicopters transferred large numbers of troops and supplies in a practice invasion while undergoing live artillery fire,  was followed in less than 48 hours by a nighttime Nevada-based drill in which hundreds of 82nd Airborne Division paratroopers leapt from C-17 cargo aircraft at low altitudes in darkness, simulating a wide-ranging, land-based troop invasion.

Translation? Despite news reports of “nose rubbing” between South and North Korean bigwigs in a “new climate” of cooperation”, a stealthy movement and manoeuvres of US and allied troops point to a preparation of possible invasion of the Korean peninsula.

5…………..> Angry Mayon: Evacuations

Located in the Albay province in the northeastern region of the island archipelago, a “hazardous eruption” warning has been issued by the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology due to overnight movements of the Mount Mayon, the most active volcano in The Philippines, indicating the possibility of a violent eruption within days or even hours, according to press reports of three steam-explosions have been recorded since Saturday, spewing ash onto villages clustered around the 8,070-foot volcano.

“Lava has flowed out of the volcano’s crater already but it’s just starting,”
“It’s a non-explosive eruption. We have to verify tomorrow if it will flow continuously,” stated volcanology institute head Renato Solidum.

6…………> Lies On Top Distortions On Top of More Lies: US Politics

Why all the fuss about President Trump “unfortunate” and “racist” remark that many of Caribbean and African countries that send hundreds of thousands of migrants to US are “shitholes”? Not really much, since in fact they are indeed very poor and debilitated countries that have been raised to nearly “divine” status by the previous US administration whose leader, our 1st Muslim President, Grand Ayatollah  Barack Obama admitted that he had no constitutional authority (“I’m president, I’m not king”) to grant amnesties. Yet during his campaign for reelection in 2012 he created the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals(DACA) program, which granted a temporary reprieve from deportation to young people brought to this country as minors.

Each side of the D.C. alligator swamp has taken advantage of the immigration “apple pie” with Dems vastly expanding the Latino vote as well as empowering ethnic tribunes that has turned US Southwest is almost blue voting block, while Establishment GOP favored illegal immigration too, simply as an endless supply of cheap labor.
