| Paris Siege Ends, A Fifth Column, The West's Response, The Left's Surrender |
Paris Siege Ends Two hostage crises in Paris were resolved today. Cherif and Said Kouachi, the two jihadists responsible for Wednesday's slaughter at Charlie Hebdo, seized a hostage and entered a printing plant outside of Paris.

| Paris Under Siege, Message To The Media, Will GOP Fold Or Fight, Obama's Threats |
Paris Under Siege In the wake of this morning's terrorist attack on the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, Paris looks like a city under siege. Soldiers armed with assault rifles are patrolling streets, subway stations, houses of worship and major tourist attractions like the Eiffel Tower.

| Carol’s Mom Goes Home, Iranian Threats, Attkisson v. Holder, Obamacare Hits Harvard |

We know she has gone on to her new home in Heaven, where a place filled with the glory of God, free of anxiety, pain and suffering, has been lovingly prepared for her. Over her 91 years, Jean was a loving wife and mother. Like so many of the "Greatest Generation," she was a patriot, a conservative and a bold defender of her faith.

Grimm Gone Late yesterday evening, Rep. Michael Grimm (R-NY) announced that he would resign from Congress effective January 5th -- one day before the new Congress formally meets.

| A Good Week for Tyrants, The Left's Hate Speech |
A Good Week For Tyrants Castro is crowing in Cuba. The mullahs are merry in Tehran. Kim Jong-un is kicking it up in North Korea. Saturday, Cuban President Raul Castro delivered an hour-long victory speech before the Cuban National Assembly. The communist spies released by Obama were given a hero's welcome. A gloating Castro declared, "Now we've really won the war." |
| NYPD Officers Assassinated, The Response |
New York Officers Assassinated The mob that marched through a New York City neighborhood chanting, "What do we want? Dead cops! When do we want it? Now!" had to wait a whole week before getting its hellish wish. Sadly, these disgusting murders were predictable. |
