GOOD MORNING! Welcome to everyone’s favorite holiday, #Festivus!

I’ve got a lot of problems with you people, and now you’re gonna hear about them!

I’m going to start out with a grievance against the entire foreign policy establishment of Washington DC, who 2 years ago were swearing that Donald Trump was going to start multiple nuclear wars or something.

Now they are mad because he is STOPPING two wars. How about you just admit you hate the President, love war and have been wrong for the last 20 years on every part of foreign policy?

Consider that my Christmas present. You don’t have to get me anything else.

I’m on some Sunday shows this morning, I hope you’ll tune in to @CNNSotu and @FaceTheNation to hear some serious policy discussions.

I’ll be back later this afternoon for some serious, and not so serious grievances, along with lots of my Festivus Waste Report. So come on back later!

Oh, by the way, before I go - Die Hard is a Christmas movie, don’t @ me

So we are back with more #Festivus goodness.

One of the things I hate most about Washington is that they have literally NO IDEA how to spend your money. That’s why I do waste reports, and do a FESTIVUS WASTE REPORT with some of the worst offenders of the year. Here are some of the worst in waste.

Everyone's favorite frisky quail are back with an update on how much money they blew: goo.gl/cGonMN

The USAID spending $18 mil to promote tourism....in Egypt: goo.gl/cGonMN

$2 mil on daydreaming: goo.gl/cGonMN

$75k to throw lizards around with a leaf blower: goo.gl/cGonMN

So of course, instead of fixing waste like this and reforming government, the geniuses in Congress decided to have a fight over how much MORE money they were going to “spend” aka borrow from China.

Speaking of which, buried in the foreign aid reports last year, I discovered something — we give foreign aid to China. So government is so dumb, it is literally borrowing money from China, to give it back to China, while paying interest on it.

This is actually my grievance with liberals. They want the government to do more and more, take over more healthcare, more education — I mean you seen what it ALREADY is doing?
