My tweet about Judge Roy Moore and the Alabama Senate race reached the maximum Score, 5 points. Very popular tweet! Not down-modded yet, very surprising. So I looked in the Hot Comments, my tweet's not there. I waited, it's not there yet. But tizan's tweet from before mine, also about Alabama, is there. Arik's tweet from later, about the livers, is there. DeathMonkey's, Thexalon's and stretch611's tweets from MUCH earlier are there. 3 tweets about the race in Alabama, nothing from realDonaldTrump. Why are their tweets trending but mine aren't? And I looked many, many times before. When I made MAGNIFICENT tweets, very popular, they didn't get to the Hot Comments. Maybe because I don't tweet out politically correct bullshit that advances the Dem agenda. When I see that the Establishment and special interests are absolutely killing our country, I say so. And Twitter hates it. They're NOTHING without me, but sometimes they try to stop me from getting my message out. And maybe, probably, someone running SoylentNews doesn't want folks to see my messages trending. So they blocked me from the Hot Comments. Sad!

The Guardian has a story about some Harry Potter stories written by Botnki's predictive text keyboard (complete with link to github).

        “He saw Harry and immediately began to eat Hermione’s family. Ron’s Ron shirt was just as bad as Ron himself.

        ‘If you two can’t clump happily, I’m going to get aggressive,’ confessed the reasonable Hermione.”

So not much worse that the original.

#Hanukkah is a time for Jewish families around the world to come together around the lighting of the menorah 🕎 and celebrate the miracles of the past and promises of the future. Melania and I wish all of our Jewish brothers and sisters celebrating this meaningful holiday a happy and healthy eight nights in the company of those they love.

The miracle of Hanukkah began more than 2,000 years ago, when the practice of Judaism was made punishable by death. A small band of Jewish patriots rose up and reclaimed their Jewish identity by vanquishing a mighty army. In their pursuit to rededicate their holy temple, 🕍 the Jewish heroes found only enough oil to light the temple’s menorah for one night. They had big problems because they didn't back their oil industry. However, a miracle occurred and with God’s grace the oil lasted for eight days. 🛢

Folks, America's incredible energy potential remains untapped. It's a wound that is totally self-inflected. And we can't count on a miracle. Under my presidency, we will accomplish complete American energy independence. We will become totally independent of the need to import energy from the oil cartel 🛢 or any nation hostile to our interest. We will get the bureaucracy out of the way of innovation, so we can pursue ALL forms of energy. All forms.

On this holiday, we are proud to stand with the Jewish people who shine as a light to all nations. We also stand with the people of Israel, the Jewish State, 🇮🇱 which has itself a miraculous history of overcoming the tallest of odds. We hope that those observing the holiday here, in Israel, and around the world have a wonderful holiday. pic.twitter.com/D9MVVPq39x

I've said we’re going to win. We’re going to win so much. We’re going to win at trade, we’re going to win at the border. We’re going to win so much, you’re going to be so sick and tired of winning, you’re going to come to me and go "Please, please, we can’t win any more." You’ve heard this one, right? You’ll say "Please, Mr. President, we beg you sir, we don’t want to win any more. It’s too much. It’s not fair to everybody else." And I’m going to say "I’m sorry, but we’re going to keep winning, winning, winning, We’re going to make America great again." But we need your votes, folks. Everybody in Alabama, today is a very big day. A VERY SPECIAL election day. We cannot afford, this country, the future of this country, cannot afford to lose a seat in the very, very close United States Senate. We can’t afford it, folks. If Alabama elects liberal Democrat Doug Jones, all of our progress will be stopped cold. We already know Democrat Doug Jones is a puppet of Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer, and he will vote with the Washington liberals every single time. We can't afford to lose that seat.

And did you see what happened with the yearbook? Did you see that? There was a little mistake made. She started writing things in the yearbook. Gloria Allred, any time you see her you know something’s going wrong.

I need Alabama to vote for Roy Moore! He's a winner, he can't win alone. Roy Moore is the guy we need to pass the Make America Great Again agenda. Get out and VOTE FOR ROY MOORE! 🗳

To my beautiful African American friends & supporters,

Last year I did something no presidential candidate has ever done. I went into your community, to Great Faith Ministries in Detroit -- one of God's greatest gifts to America -- to listen to your message, and to help, with my presence, your message reach new voices. It was an amazing day for me. The most amazing day of my life.

And many, many of you heard my message. I said to you: look at how much African American communities are suffering from Democratic control. What do you have to lose by trying something new, like Trump? You’re living in your poverty. Your neighborhoods, the inner cities, are war zones. Your schools are no good. You have no jobs, 58 percent of your youth is unemployed. What the hell do you have to lose? Remember that?

You heard me and you voted for me. In tremendous numbers. I beat Abraham Lincoln.

So now it just came out, African Americans are now enjoying their lowest unemployment since just after the end of the Civil War. That’s pretty good, right? Merry Christmas, everybody! In July, in the summer, I said, you know, we are going to say Merry Christmas. But let me just tell you, the department stores, right, they had the beautiful red walls, they had snowflakes all over the place, they had everything. Only one thing missing, the words "Merry Christmas." They are using those words again. Do you notice? They are using those words again. It's going to be a fantastic Christmas for my African Americans.

And yesterday it was my great honor to celebrate the opening of two extraordinary museums -- the Mississippi State History Museum & the Mississippi Civil Rights Museum. More civil rights museums than any other president has ever opened. I beat Abraham Lincoln. Many people are saying I am the civil rights president. Watch my beautiful, beautiful speech. Obama gave big speeches, he never followed through. I'm the guy who follows through. I turned Mississippi into an oasis of freedom and justice. pic.twitter.com/5AkgVpV8aa

And to those of you in Alabama, of Alabama, or if you know someone from Alabama. Big week ahead for Alabama. Because Tuesday is a VERY SPECIAL election. And I want you to get out there and vote for Judge Roy Moore. And tell your folks in Alabama to go and vote for him. Because if we lose that seat in the Senate, if another Dem comes into the Senate, it will be a disaster for all of us. When our economy is failing badly, when crime is rampant, when our military is a joke, when our medical is in the toilet, vets in a very deplorable situation, our borders totally out of control, JUDGES behaving badly, 2nd Amendment badly compromised, schools terrible, it's bad for all of us. It hurts our country. So we need Judge Roy Moore. To Make America Great Again. And one day, right there in Alabama, little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.

Black power, everybody! ✊Ἷ

Our thoughts and prayers are with Rupert Murdoch and everyone in the path of California’s wildfires. Like you, my family owns a beautiful winery; ours is in Central Virginia on the scenic Monticello Wine Trail, within easy access of Charlottesville. 🍇🍷 I encourage everyone to heed the advice and orders of local and state officials. Thank you to all First Responders -- even the many who are convicted criminals serving out their prison sentences -- for your incredible work! And THANK YOU to my very good friend Rupert Murdoch – there’s only one Rupert that we know. Rupert, you've done a lot, a lot to Make America Great Again. pic.twitter.com/g9y9PkB352 trumpwinery.com

CNN ran an article yesterday full of butthurt that Cheeto Jesus has been keeping too many of his campaign promises. I figured I'd share it with you lot so the regressive progtards among you could share in the butthurt too.

A politician who actually does what he told voters he would do seems almost unfathomable in Washington, a town of broken promises. For Donald Trump, being a president who delivers is especially crucial, since it's one of the golden keys to his so far unbreakable bond with supporters.

The need to live up to that image helps explain why Trump, who is under ever-increasing pressure from the Russia investigation, on Wednesday recognized Jerusalem as Israel's capital despite the widely acknowledged risks.

It was just the latest instance of the President obstinately honoring the bumper-sticker vows he made to his ultra-loyal supporters -- even those that horrify the political and foreign policy establishment, media critics and allied leaders.

Have a nice weekend argument. I may or may not have time to step in and egg things on further, we'll just have to wait and see.

Forcible kisser Al Franken says he'll resign from our beautiful Senate! Just like inappropriate toucher John Conyers resigned from the House! Like I told them to. They're resigning, so we won't have to IMPEACH them. #MeToo

Folks, it's just one week until the Senate election in Alabama. We need every vote in the Senate. So we need every voter OF Alabama to be IN Alabama. If you're registered to vote in Alabama, save the date. And get to Alabama, if you're not there already. So you can vote for our Republican, @MooreSenate. We need Republican Roy Moore to win. For our party, for Alabama, for America🇺🇸. We need his vote on stopping crime, illegal immigration, Border Wall, Military, Pro Life, V.A., JUDGES, 2nd Amendment and more. No to Jones, a Pelosi/Schumer puppet, terrible on crime! Go get ’em, Roy! #MAGA #DrainTheSwamp

The BBC has a story about the discovery of a diary left by an Auschwitz victim.

Marcel Nadjari was a Greek Jew interned at Auschwitz and forced by the Nazis to escort fellow Jews to the gas chambers, burn the bodies, collect gold fillings, women's hair and to dispose of their ashes in a nearby river.

Realising that their own murder was only a matter of time, the Jewish slaves of the Sonderkommando documented their experiences secretly. Nadjari put his manuscripts in a thermos flask in a leather pouch and buried it near Crematorium III.

The flask was discovered by a Polish forestry student 36 years after it was buried.

Nadjari survived Auschwitz, but his parents and sister were murdered in another camp.
