<\/p>\nYesterday, I decided that, since almost everyone is doing end-of-year retrospectives, I didn’t have to. Instead, since I have a couple of depressing sories which unfortunately are important, I at least made a satire sandwich. I hope the middle one gives you a chuckle or a grin, maybe even a LOL.<\/p>\n

\nDenverite – Migrants in Denver faced horror on their journeys to the U.S., but despite their desperate risks, many will be forced to leave.<\/a>
\nQuote – Kevin, who\u2019s 22 and declined to tell us his last name, is one of at least 1,500 newly arrived migrants who\u2019ve been sheltered by the city this month. He\u2019s one of millions who\u2019ve taken dangerous paths through jungles and deserts over the years to ask the U.S. government for asylum, legal and safe passage into the country. But that status is far from a guarantee. \u201cImagine traveling with your child, then your child dies and you arrive in the United States only to be deported,\u201d he told us in Spanish during a recent visit to a church-run shelter. \u201cYou lost your child and you lost your dream. So then it\u2019s difficult.\u201d

\nQuote – I can hear all my listeners out there asking, \u201cSean, why are you letting the neighborhood children break wooden boards over your head? Is this a Make a Wish Foundation thing? Are the kids all cancer patients whose dying dream was to beat the crap out of Sean Hannity with a two-by-four?\u201d Well, I can assure you it\u2019s nothing like that. I would never do anything nice for a sick child. No, what\u2019s happening is that a bunch of angry MAGA types in the area sent their little brats to beat up on me because they heard I admitted under oath in a deposition that I did not actually believe \u201cfor one second\u201d that Donald Trump lost the election due to widespread voting fraud.

\nAssociated Press – Supreme Court asked to bar punishment for acquitted conduct<\/a>
\nQuote – A jury convicted Dayonta McClinton of robbing a CVS pharmacy but acquitted him of murder. A judge gave McClinton an extra 13 years in prison for the killing anyway…. McClinton’s case and three others just like it are scheduled to be discussed when the justices next meet in private on Jan. 6.
