SHORT TAKES ON THE DRIFTING WRECKAGE – AT 11:55 P.M. ET:

THE DONALD STRIKES – FROM FOX:  Air conditioning company Carrier said Tuesday that it had reached an agreement with President-elect Donald Trump that would keep 1,000 jobs in Indianapolis. Trump and Vice President-elect Mike Pence, Indiana's outgoing governor, planned to travel to the state Thursday to unveil the agreement alongside company officials.   Watch the mainstream media try to disparage and minimize this important step toward keeping jobs in America.  The American people will understand it, though.

DIETICIANS IN A PANIC – FROM REUTERS:  VERBANIA, Italy (Reuters) - Emma Morano, thought to be the world's oldest person and the last to be born in the 1800s, celebrated her 117th birthday on Tuesday, still swearing by her diet of two raw eggs a day.   Morano was born in November 1899, four years before the Wright brothers first took to the air. Her life has spanned three centuries, two World Wars and over 90 Italian governments..."When I first knew her she used to eat three eggs a day. Two raw, and one fried. Today she has slowed down a bit, reducing the number to two some days because she says three can be too much," her doctor Carlo Bava told Reuters TV.  "She has never eaten much fruit or vegetables. Her characteristic is that she always eats the same thing, every day, every week, every month and every year."   How dare she violate the rules set down by Vogue.  Who does she think she is?

MAJOR POLITICAL NEWS – FROM YAHOO:  President Obama says both he and first lady Michelle Obama will be “very active” in working with people at the grass-roots level to support progressive causes once he leaves office. But despite her popularity and natural public-speaking ability, Michelle isn’t interested in a career in politics.  “Michelle will never run for office,” the president told Rolling Stone in an interview conducted the day after the election. “She is as talented a person as I know. You can see the incredible resonance she has with the American people. But I joke that she’s too sensible to want to be in politics.”   I'm devastated.  I just can't accept a world in which Michelle isn't president.  Find me a safe space.
