Best wishes to everyone celebrating Christmas. Due to the pandemic, we did not drive to Chicago this year and instead have stayed in Virginia. We have all of the kids and of course Luna tucked away as the stockings and the tree await.
We will be having a virtual celebration with my 92-year-old mother who have focusing this year on praying for the Bears to make the playoffs.
Last night, I made our traditional Cioppino soup — a tradition started by my late father, Jack Turley. I have previously written how I grew up hating the soup but the tradition fell to me. I am now as addicted to the soup as my father was. I always think of my dad (who was also my best friend) as we enjoy the soup with warm bread. Leslie made me my favorite Old Fashion cocktail and we watched It’s A Wonderful Life.
Tonight, I will cook the beef as well as the Yorkshire pudding, horseradish. and other traditional dishes for the dinner. Leslie has enough cakes and cookies to put the entire elf corp into a sugar coma.
Washington of course is in full celebration with subpoenas hung by the chimney with care, in hopes that a Special Counsel will soon would be there. Oh Christmas in Washington. Now, Durham! Now Delaware! Now Sam Dash away! Dam Sash away! Sam Dash away all!
The Turley family wishes everyone a happy and safe holiday. I will be toasting our blog family tonight and give thanks for the wonderful community we have created at this site.
Best wishes,
Jonathan Turley

And a Merry Christmas to you JT for providing this forum and to POTUS Trump for freeing us from the fretting about mentioning Christmas during this holiest of holidays.
Good day to sweep the leavings into St Elizabeth’s.
I claim responsibility.
Hello David. My name is Alice. I am based in the UK. I am currently supporting an elderly father whose son was brutally murdered 20 years ago, with no-one to date being held responsible for the terrible injuries he suffered and indeed for his death. The father is still grieving and now dying of cancer, he is desperate to find out what really happened to his son. He has been fighting for justice across all these years, but has been and is still constantly blocked and let down. I am working on his behalf to try and get a new inquest up and running. I have been looking for you for a number of months now as I do truly believe you may be able to assist me (and the father) in a small but very significant way. I am hoping so very, very much you can. Do you please have an email address that I can use to share more confidential information with you, for you to consider? Mine is alicerowsome@gmail.com. My cell number, if you prefer is + 44 7590 488952. I really look forward to hearing from you David.
I would like to wish a most wonderful Christmas to Professor Turley and his family. I support his consistent and vigorous defense of free speech.
Pertaining to celebrations, has anyone noticed how those who support mothers killing their children in the womb until the 9th month of pregnancy, teenagers castrating themselves and ingesting hormone blockers and chant, “my body, my choice” are the first to snitch on their neighbors for having too many over for Christmas dinner; someone not wearing a mask or call the police on a small businesses that remains open during a “lockdown”. They support the right the protest, if mostly “peaceful” but want to arrest church officials for conducting mass and would gladly support vaccinating by force anyone who refuses. Same people want to make smoking tobacco as expensive and inconvenient as possible but advocate marijuana legalization but that’s another subject.
Not sure what I am missing. Just wish I were as intelligent and enlightened as my leftist moral bettors. Guess I am a hopeless deplorable.

Shitlibs tried their best, both civilian squealers and blue-state politicians, to crush Thanksgiving by reporting their neighbors, as well as businesses, for breaching COVID capacity and other unconstitutional do-gooder mandates. The same ideologues that embrace mothers killing their children in the womb, teenagers castrating themselves and ingesting hormone blockers, and chanting “My Body, My Choice” sure do enjoy playing the busybody hall monitor if someone isn’t wearing a mask or has too many cousins over for turkey.
Thank you Jonathan! Your thoughts and writings have made us more informed and, I hope, better citizens.
We wish you and yours the best, most wonderful Christmas ever.
Merry Christmas to Prof Turley and to all of his family! God bless us every one!
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas Jonathon and all visitors (even those who annoy me from time to time 🤣).
