"The Diplomat" on Netflix

appears to be a limited series, starring Keri Russell and Rufus Sewell. It was created by Debora Cahn, and covers a crisis appointment of a US ambassador to Great Britain after a British Navy vessel was torpedoed by unknown terrorists in the Persian Gulf. The appointment was not a political gift to a wealthy donor.

The ambassador's husband was an ambassador himself until he was fired. He is supposed to be helping his wife meet the right people, but he keeps acting on his own and creating chaos as MI5 and the CIA try to figure out if the attack was ordered by Iran. Furthermore, the US President is elderly, and the VP is about to be removed from office. POTUS' Chief of Staff is evaluating the new ambassador to be the next VP.

Feels like The West Wing, sort of.

5:27pm EDT on Deadline White House...

They played a Clarence Thomas clip with him saying how much he enjoys RV parks, especially parked at WalMarts, and how he likes regular folks.

Nicolle's reaction (incredulous laugh) is priceless! Should be part of an End-of-Year clip. She's so wonderfully natural and sincere.

Mike Huckster-abee is at it again!

He's got a new program he says is aimed to protect your kids from "indoctrination."

http://kidsfightback.com/ will teach critical thinking skills? Doesn't he realize that's part of what the GOP is fighting against?

Atlanta FOX station is playing a documentary on the Texas Blackouts.

Covering the flooding, burst pipes, people getting wet in their homes while freezing, empty stores, food trucks unable to get there, billions lost, stress on 911 for days.

I wonder if State Farm and other insurers can do something about ERCOT since Gov. Abbutt and the Republican legislature isn't interested.

Do other states ask their female student-athletes about their menstrual history

Do other states ask their female student-athletes about their menstrual history?
Texas school districts also ask female-athletes very similar questions about their menstrual history. In several school districts—including in Austin, Dallas, Houston and Fort Worth—the questions are mandatory to complete, according to The Dallas Morning News.

Many other states require student athletes to undergo a physical examination from a healthcare provider, but they generally only ask the provider to share a signature affirming that the athlete is in good health, rather than turn personal health history over to the school.

Of course Abbutt and Dan Patrick want to know about high school girls cycles.

Christian Bale has made another entertaining movie,

"The Pale Blue Eye," based on a book. He co-stars with Harry Melling, who has some fabulous acting chops. Melling was in The Queen's Gambit, but is more famously known and Dudley Dursley, Harry Potter's cousin in Little Whinging. Melling is thin and has a haunting look as Edgar A. Poe.

So, which trumpy Secret Service agent dropped a

top secret document at Biden's residence?

Hey, just asking. Not trying to start conspiracy theories/rumors, etc.

And Merry Christmas to you, Mr. President.

Nice Christmas speech and well-wishes. No bragging. No lying. Just a happy holiday greeting.
