| A Dangerous Moment? President Donald Trump went on a Twitter tear on Thursday, blasting President-elect Joe Biden and Georgia Governor Brian Kemp and relentlessly assailing the election results.
He also quoted a fan from one of his rallies saying this is a “very dangerous moment” and that things are going to “escalate dramatically.”
A dangerous moment, huh? Gee, wonder why? Like who could possibly be stoking that danger? Definitely a big mystery to solve.
And the nominees are...

‘We Must Lead With Science’?
Dr. Deborah Birx wants to continue fighting the pandemic after the transition to a Biden administration. But it's not clear she'll be able to: the Biden team is worried about the political optics.
Dr. Anthony Fauci was made part of the team yesterday and said that administration must "lead with science," as opposed to politics.
On not taking one's own advice... Shut Up About Politics singer John Rich performed a short number designed to own the libs while guesting on Thursday’s Outnumbered — mocking House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) for their hypocrisy amid the pandemic.

Harris Faulkner snapped at network contributor Marie Harf over the latter's implication the show has ignored reporting on Covid-19 death tolls.
"That is offensive and it is not true,” said Faulkner in the tense exchange.
Hunter Biden IS under investigation.
Fox News host Brian Kilmeade suggested that Joe Biden's presidency might be brought to an early end in light of reports that his son, Hunter, is and has been under investigation over taxes and even money-laundering, as well as "some" investigation of his "past work in China" as the AP reported on Thursday.
Kilmeade ripped into the press over ignoring the story until after the election, and brought up the outrageous censoring of the New York Post by Twitter and Facebook, which elicited very little objection from other media.
"There’s actual emails and interactions with government officials and meetings with perhaps maybe the future president of the United States that’s never been asked nor substantially denied," said Kilmeade. “I just want to see the line that says ‘big guy.’ Because the big guy, according to Tony Bobulinski, is Joe Biden. And that might be good news for Kamala Harris.”
Essential Workers? Hollywood insiders are defending their status as “essential” workers amid criticism from other businesses in Los Angeles, including restaurants and bars, which are being shut down as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. In late November, California Gov. Gavin Newsom issued a new stay-at-home order which banned outdoor dining and forced retail stores to operate at a reduced 20 percent capacity. The latest restrictions, which apply to the majority of the state, also shuttered movie theaters, museums, zoos, bars, wineries and amusement parks. Exempt from the list is film and TV production, which has been designated as “essential” work in California. This has led to growing tension between the entertainment industry and the local community in Los Angeles, such as restaurant and bar owners, who believe Hollywood is being given special treatment.
In early December, Angela Marsden, the owner of the Pineapple Hill Saloon & Grill in Los Angeles, went viral after she posted an emotional Facebook video questioning why her business had to shut down while a production was shooting right next door. The video resulted in a fundraiser to help save her restaurant from going under. Many in Hollywood, however, argue that film and TV sets have strict protocols in place to keep the cast and crew safe. “We are not a bar where everybody sits around with their masks off,” said Netflix’s vice president of physical production.
