Post editorialists said. Michael Flynn suggesting martial law is tantamount to treason. It is shameful. They suggested Trump obsess about the Georgia special election, which he could actually affect, and used fear and flattery to nudge him in that direction.
Police charge Army Special Operations sergeant in Illinois bowling alley killings
December 28, 2020
Police in Rockford, Illinois, said Sunday that they arrested Duke Webb, a 37-year-old Army Special Operations sergeant based in Florida, for Saturday s fatal shootings at the Don Carter Lanes bowling alley and bar-restaurant. Webb was charged with three counts of first degree murder and three more counts of attempted first degree murder, and his first court appearance is Monday.
Webb stands accused of fatally shooting three men, ages 65, 69, and 73, and wounding a 14-year-old boy shot in the face, a 16-year-old girl, and a 62-year-old man currently in critical condition. We believe this was a completely random act, Rockford Police Chief Dan O Shea said Sunday. There is no prior meeting or any kind of relationship between the suspect and any of the victims in this case. When officers arrived on the scene, Webb tried to hide two weapons and his identity, O Shea said.

President Trump complained for nearly a week about a disgraceful $2.3 trillion COVID-19 relief and 2021 spending package Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin helped negotiate, only to sign it and get nothing in return?
After this bizarre, embarrassing episode, all Trump proved is that he had no discernible strategy and no hand to play, Palmer and Sherman write. He folded, and got nothing besides a few days of attention and chaos. . Zip. Zero. Zilch. Trump issued a statement insisting he got promises out of Congress, they note, but he ll never get the spending rescissions he s asking for â like, zero chance â and his support for a vote on $2,000 stimulus checks will only split the Republican Party on the way out the door.

(CNN) In one of its final foreign policy acts before leaving office, the Trump administration is considering designating Yemen s Houthi movement as a foreign terrorist organization. The move is part of President Donald Trump s and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo s campaign to impose more sanctions on Iran and its allies in the Middle East and to create new hurdles that would make it difficult for the incoming Joe Biden administration to resume negotiations with Tehran.
