SHORT TAKES ON THE DRIFTING WRECKAGE – AT 11:58 P.M. ET: 

NAILING IT – Ted Cruz said perfectly what so many are thinking:  From PJ Media:  In the wake of the Paris terrorist attacks, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) said President Obama is not interested in protecting the United States. “I recognize that Barack Obama does not wish to defend this country,” Cruz said on “Fox and Friends” “He may have been tired of war, but our enemies are not tired of killing us. And they’re getting stronger.”  The truth eventually does come out.  Barack Obama is a leftist, not a liberal.  His loyalty to the United States is of a very strange kind.  Cruz will undoubtedly be called a racist or a McCarthyite for his efforts.

A GOOD IDEA – From Fox:   A team of hungry crocodiles could soon guard a proposed island prison in Indonesia, because a top official says the animals won't give in to bribes. The prison would house convicted drug criminals on death row, the Daily Telegraph reported.  The head of Indonesia's anti-drug agency, Budi Waseso, told local media, "We will place as many crocodiles as we can there. I will search for the most ferocious type of crocodile."  Look no further than Hillary Clinton's staff.

THERE ARE REASONS WHY PEOPLE DON'T GET ANYWHERE – From The Times of Israel:  A Sunday opinion piece in the official Palestinian Authority daily al-Hayat al-Jadida blamed Israel’s Mossad intelligence agency for Friday’s deadly terror attacks in Paris, suggesting they were orchestrated in order to undermine new European moves promoting a two-state solution and providing for the clear labeling of produce from Israeli West Bank settlements.  The tragedy of the Palestinians is their terrible leadership and the indoctrination they get in their schools and media. 

NUTS – From The Hill:  The Pentagon announced Sunday evening that it has transferred five Guantánamo detainees to the United Arab Emirates, just ahead of President Obama signing a defense bill that would place restrictions on moving prisoners from the facility.  "The United States is grateful to the Government of the United Arab Emirates for its willingness to support ongoing U.S. efforts to close the Guantánamo Bay detention facility," said Pentagon press secretary Peter Cook.  The timing couldn't be worse.  Yessirree, even after Paris the closing of Guantanamo is top priority.  I wonder how many of these five will be returning to us wearing suicide belts.
