THE SEAN HANNITY SHOW

What We Can Learn By Tracking Santa Last night the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) was busy fielding thousands of calls and emails from distressed families. Thankfully NORAD, whose chief mission is to defend the skies above North America, was not tracking enemy aircraft but Santa Claus. With NORAD's Santa tracker, children across the nation can log in and find exactly where Santa is located. What started as a misprint in a Sears Roebuck advertisement in 1955 has grown into a website with well over 150,000 visitors. To me, one of the greatest lessons we can learn from this entire program is that American taxpayers aren't footing the bill for this program. Corporate sponsorships and thousands of volunteers have come together to make the tracking of Santa a reality. What began as an accident has demonstrated that our government can be the facilitator of great things without spending a dime of taxpayer money. Obviously that won't work all the time, but before we look to 2016 (and all the government spending that is, no doubt, on its way) perhaps we should remember the NORAD Santa Tracker and what was accomplished without a single dollar of taxpayer money. Liberals Hit A New Low With Depiction Of Ted Cruz' Children The left-wing media has reached a new low. In a crass cartoon, Washington Post cartoonist Ann Telnaes depicted Ted Cruz's daughters as monkeys. Senator Ted Cruz was not too pleased with Telnaes' depiction of his daughters and was quick to respond. View the Washington Post Cartoon The Washington Post did eventually pull the cartoon, and posted the following editors note: Editor's note from Fred Hiatt: It's generally been the policy of our editorial section to leave children out of it. I failed to look at this cartoon before it was published. I understand why Ann thought an exception to the policy was warranted in this case, but I do not agree. Note that they didn't actually apologize. Where is the moral outrage of the left on this one?
