Friends, while Brian and I delve into the history of the Pearl Harbor attack of December 7th, 1941 ever so briefly on this week's Newsmaker Show, most of our incisive commentary instead focuses on current events, including: the stakes in the Pete Hegseth nomination, which I view as a lot lower than some conservatives suggest; the chances that China or North Korea will take advantage of recent political instability in South Korea; presidential pardons and their political ramifications; the rapprochement between Meta and DJT; and the fall of the French government and what it suggests about the strength of populist conservatism in Europe. It's an in-depth exploration of some very weighty topics that you won't want to miss!

In other news, we here at WaddyIsRight wish to be among the first to congratulate Bashar al-Assad and his family, who have made the understandable decision to relocate to the beautiful and culturally vibrant city of Moscow, the charms of which are particularly notable at this time of year. May you prosper in your new abode, Assads, and may you never trouble the people of Syria again!

Events are unfolding incredibly rapidly in Syria, and we hope that they will bring the long-suffering people there some relief, but interestingly DJT has used the opportunity of Assad's ouster to advocate for a ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia. It's a concept that I have long believed would be in the best interests of all concerned. It would be a great start to a peace process that, admittedly, won't be easy, but needs to begin ASAP.

Finally, now that Sleepy Joe is the Pardoner-in-Chief, lefties are lining up to receive the sacrament of the presidential pardon. Who can blame them? Being included on Biden's list means that he perceives you as one of Donald Trump's most fearsome and implacable enemies, and what progressive and/or Democrat would not wish to be on such a list??? My guess is that the pardons will come thick and fast, but my guess would also be that Kamala Harris, Nancy Pelosi, and Chuck Schumer will be left out in the cold, for reasons that I'm sure you can guess...
