Today, Congress passed the GOP tax cut bill, which required a second vote due to a procedural matter, causing President Trump to celebrate. Here are some related stories, and other items which are not related (and a bit of commentary from yours truly):
From The Washington Times, Trump holds an outdoor event with some GOP congresspeople.
From PoliZette, Congressman Dave Brat (R-VA) praises the tax legislation.
From National Review, despite what some Democrats think, this is not a "heist".
From The Daily Caller, several business respond by directing their money toward employee training and education.
From the Washington Examiner, Senator Al Franken (D-Minn) chooses his last day in office. (The Senatorial version of the Al Franken Decade thus will have lasted only nine years.)
From the St George News, the Bundy defendants get a mistrial. (H/T Call Me Mom for the Tweet)
From Breitbart's National Security, Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte declares a temporary cease-fire in fight against the Marxist terrorist group NPA.
From LifeNews, abortion reportedly increases a woman's risk of premature death.
From Voice Of Europe, a school in Lüneburg, Germany postpones their Christmas celebration because a Muslim student said that its songs are "incompatible with Islam". (Why songs used in a Christian event need to be compatible with any other religion has not been explained. If you read German, you can read more in NDR.)
From the Express, the E.U. calls upon its member states to sanction Poland.
From The Guardian, Poland cries foul. (If anyone wonders about my opinion in this matter, let me just say, "Niech żyje Polska!")
From Russia Today, President Trump threatens to withdraw aid to U.N. member states that vote against the recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
From YNetNews, more on the president's threat. (H/T Gadi Adelman for the Tweet)
From the Evening Standard, in Paris, Santa Claus chases down a suspected hit-and-run driver.
From the NL Times, with Christmas shopping in full swing, Amsterdam monitors its crowds.

From Gatestone Institute, the Arab Street rises up - in Europe. (The last two items were found at The Religion Of Peace.)
From the New York Post, Disneyworld isn't so nice this time of year.
From CBC News, Oumuamua has yielded no alien signals. (Reports of its elongated shape have reminded me of the alien probe in Star Trek IV.)
And from WPVI, during a party at a fraternity house in Maryland last month, the surrounding air had enough alcohol to register on a police breathalyzer.
