2024: We did it!! We got the House!! – “With control of the White House, both chambers of Congress, and a 6-3 conservative majority on the Supreme Court (and potential chances to expand that number in the next 4 years), the MAGA platform has a very rare window of opportunity to enact its reforms.” – Not The Bee staff

THIS IS WHY THEY LOST: Educated (see his little glasses?!) white guy vs. unwoke Black guy = Trans trumps race. Good to know.

Comment from YT: “Putting ‘phobic’ after any word, means stop talking about it. It’s how they shut you up.” Speaking from the ophidiophobia trenches … I once took my kids to a small traveling circus at a local high school’s gymnasium. We sat in those pull out bleachers that every high school seems to have and the circus acts came out one at a time to perform on the gym floor. I was looking forward to seeing the horses, which included a young Lipizzaner stallion in training. What I did not know was t here was a snake lady coming out with a ginormous … you know … ::getting palpitations and sweaty palms just remembering:: and I … supermom that I am NOT when in the presence of a … you know. Between one heartbeat and the rapidly increasing next, I abandoned my kids to plow through the stands, doing a kind of over and under at the railing on the side of the bleacher, dropped down to the gym floor and bolted out the emergency exit. Honestly, I’m dizzy thinking about this again.

Point being: THIS is what a true phobia is like. Thinking people with gender dysphoria have a mental disorder is not a phobia. It’s just an opinion.

TRANSITION: Former Rep. Lee Zeldin from New York has accepted Trump’s offer to become head of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Trump said, “Lee, with a very strong legal background, has been a true fighter for America First policies. He will ensure fair and swift deregulatory decisions that will be enacted in a way to unleash the power of American businesses, while at the same time maintaining the highest environmental standards, including the cleanest air and water on the planet. He will set new standards on environmental review and maintenance that will allow the United States to grow in a healthy and well-structured way.

WALK AWAY: CLICK the link below to read Evan Barker’s story entitled “I Raised $50 Million for the Democrats. This Week, I Voted for Trump.” My favorite line: “The Democratic Party has evolved into a group that signals virtue but lacks real values. It’s a group that panders but never produces.”

GRAMMY NOTES: From Mama Buzz – “The older boys in Trail Life do the opening flag ceremony which includes a prayer. Anyway, ‘Buzz’ signed up for today’s meeting and here is what he has prepared. He dictated with his device. I wrote it on paper. Then we made a folder on his device with one sentence per button so he can play it all in order at normal talking speed. Happy Veterans Day!

  1. Ha! I got one of those drive-by baptisms once. I had gotten all dressed up to go to my friend’s organ recital at the college chapel, which was a short walk from my house. It had rained heavily earlier in the day, but had diminished to a drizzle, so I thought I could walk a few blocks without getting soaked. I almost made it, too… until a car came tearing down the street toward me and plowed right through an enormous puddle, creating a tidal wave that drenched me to the skin. I did not enjoy the recital very much.
