AUSTRALIA: [4:37] – A new ruling has barred this champion runner from competing in the Paralympics.

CATHOLIC: [4:32] – I like what he says about not needing to have any emotional experience or aha from the readings or homily, cuz sometimes I just don’t. It’s good to know it’s enough that we were there participating and being present to the Lord.

EDUCATION: CLICK https://www.tiktok.com/@ahtjordan/video/7436090655551606048 to hear Trump’s plan.

GIFT FROM GOD: The preacher who revealed this says there are two things that are required of us during this reprieve from the time of destruction – to pray for Trump to be humble and follow God so that the time of reprieve will be fulfilled, and to pray for the souls of all those who have not yet given their lives to Jesus Christ.

HEALTH: Some time ago, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) allocated nearly $10 million of taxpayers’ money to fund several projects, one of which was a study led by Dr. Joanna Olson-Kennedy, who works as the medical director of the Center for Transyouth Health and Development at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles.

The study provided puberty blockers to 95 children with an average age of less than 11.5 years who suffered from gender dysphoria. Their plan was to analyze whether these drugs improved the mental health of the children. To their dismay, the found the drugs did nothing to help these kids, so the NIH decided not to publish the tax-funded study lest it be “weaponized” by critics and lawmakers who want to prohibit doctors from prescribing these drugs to children.

A subcommittee in the House of Representatives has launched an inquiry.

REGULATIONS: One of the things Trump did when he was 45 was cut a yuge number of wasteful regulations. He’s promised that, as 47, he will step up the fight against government red tape.

GRAMMY NOTES: My parents didn’t believe in allowances for doing nothing. It was more like, “If you do not work, you will not eat.” I remember shining my brothers’ shoes before Mass on Sundays for ten cents a pair when I was in grade school.

ELON’S FAVORITE MEME: New research shows what we’ve all experienced. CLICK https://x.com/_alice_evans/status/1857307840248947196 and https://x.com/_alice_evans/status/1857307842753044868 to see the graphs.

THE VIEW: [5:50] – Whoopi Goldberg blasted a specific bakery for allegedly refusing to make their signature cupcakes for her birthday. The bakery in question told the person making the order that their aged boiler was on the fritz and they couldn’t make any promises. To make this story even worse, the baker was able to get the boiler fixed in time to make the cupcakes … the same cupcakes that Goldberg was showing off as she blasted the bakery for supposedly having lied. So rather than give the bakery a pat on the back for coming through despite mechanical difficulties, she slandered them! ::smh::

In other news, I’ve heard two lawyers say the bakery has grounds to sue Goldberg. I’m thinking they might want to send her some complimentary cupcakes, cuz their business is apparently booming … lines down the block, sold out early. ❤

WOMEN’S SPORTS: [13:55] – If you prefer to read rather than listen to Megyn Kelly, Legal Insurrection @ https://legalinsurrection.com/2024/11/court-connecticut-high-school-females-discrimination-case-over-males-in-girls-sports-can-move-forward/ goes over the history of the case. After more than five years, these young women have finally earned a right to have their case heard.

GRAMMY NOTES: I am #5 of 6. When #2 was in college, he took a psychology class in which they had a lecture about the personalities of kids as related to their birth order and gender. He said it was like they had been peeping in our living room window. But the prof only went up to #4, so he asked, “What about after 4?” “There aren’t enough families that big to study and make generalizations like this, but we think it might repeat, beginning with #5 being a new #1 and so on.” We looked at each other and nodded, “Yup. Looking in our living room window.”

CATHOLIC: CLICK https://www.facebook.com/reel/532394059634497 to hear how we respect and love Mary. We do not and never have worshiped her.

CNN: With post-election ratings plummeting, CNN is planning to axe some of its high-paid staff. Sounds like a plan, especially given that some, like Anderson Cooper, make as much as $20 million per year! As Gwen Walz said, “Buh-bye! Time to turn the page!

COVID-19: On July 26, 2020, the CDC issued an official plan entitled “Interim Operational Considerations for Implementing the Shielding Approach to Prevent COVID-19 Infections in Humanitarian Settings.” It presented the CDC’s plan for “implementing the shielding approach in humanitarian settings as outlined in guidance documents focused on camps, displaced populations and low-resource settings. “

The document describes how they wanted to herd people who were deemed at high risk for severe disease were to be isolated, given only food and some cleaning supplies. They would be denied the right to legal appeals or legal counsel. They would be banned from worshiping. However, there was a plan to prevent suicides, just in case you thought they were going all fascist on you.

Understand that “shielding” is code for “herding people into concentration camps where we can control them.” Right at the beginning of the document, the CDC admits their plan had never been tried. IOW, nobody knew if it would do anything to save lives.

Also, recall that the governments of Australia and Canada actually did this. Of course, those countries don’t have the Second Amendment, which may be why the CDC wasn’t able to implement something similar here. The document was removed from the CDC website about March 26, 2023, but is still available at the archive link below.

DOGE: Posted by Musk on Nov 12 – “All actions of the Department of Government Efficiency will be posted online for maximum transparency. Anytime the public thinks we are cutting something important or not cutting something wasteful, just let us know! We will also have a leaderboard for most insanely dumb spending of your tax dollars. This will be both extremely tragic and extremely entertaining.

SUGGESTIONS already posted: Payments to dead people. Money for Pakistani gender studies. Boosting Egyptian tourism. Make up classes for trans people in the Middle East. The 501c4 loop hole for foreign aid. Funding universities that are sitting on billions of dollars of endowments. NPR. Free college for illegals. Watching squirrels fornicate. Maintaining empty buildings.

Also, “take digital copies of all agency annual audit reports, feed them into a Retrieval Augmented Generation AI application (RAG), and query for patterns indicating fraud, waste, and abuse. The output could be refined and prioritized for further examination and action” and “look at Rand Paul’s reports.”

My favorite: “Stop funding anything that is not in the Constitution.”

FBI: [6:35] – Another day, another raid.

HHS: Yesterday, Biden’s Department of Health and Services for Sexual Deviants celebrated “Transgender Awareness Week” which runs from Nov. 13 to 19, should not be confused with “Trans Day of Remembrance” (November 20). Cuz, yeah, we all need to have that shoved down our throats again, since “Trans Day of Visibility” (March 31), “Day of Silence” (for trans students on April 12), “International Day Against Transphobia” (May 17), “Harvey Milk Day” (May 22), “Pride Month” (June), “LGBTQ+ History Month“ (October), and “International Pronoun Day“ (October 16) were clearly not enough.

Also yesterday, Trump nominated Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as The United States Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS). “For too long, Americans have been crushed by the industrial food complex and drug companies who have engaged in deception, misinformation, and disinformation when it comes to Public Health. The Safety and Health of all Americans is the most important role of any Administration, and HHS will play a big role in helping ensure that everybody will be protected from harmful chemicals, pollutants, pesticides, pharmaceutical products, and food additives that have contributed to the overwhelming Health Crisis in this Country. Mr. Kennedy will restore these Agencies to the traditions of Gold Standard Scientific Research, and beacons of Transparency, to end the Chronic Disease epidemic, and to Make America Great and Healthy Again!”

In other news, some FDA employees are threatening to quit if Kennedy gets confirmed. Good. It’ll save him having to fire them.

CLICK https://x.com/EndWokeness/status/1857173898531389878 [5:49] to hear RFK Jr. talk about how badly our health has deteriorated since the early 1990s, in large part because the government works hand-in-hand with big food corporations to poison processed foods. I was interested to hear what he had to say about Yellow Dye #5. Way back in the early 1990s, my hairdresser was telling me about this terrible rash he had developed. When he went to a dermatologist, she quickly identified this food coloring as the culprit. He had made a huge pot of chicken stock and added Yellow Dye #5 to make it look more yummy. He had been using this big batch of stock repeatedly in his meals, which he cooked from scratch and assumed were healthy for him. I don’t bake, but occasionally will get a slice of birthday cake or something handed to me. I always scrape off any dyed frosting and, if the inside is a funky color, just give it a pass altogether.

IGNORANCE: In this day and age, I think it is inexcusable to be this dumb. “Claire” clearly wasn’t already familiar with the Jerusalem Cross, but all she had to do was google. I tried “5 cross tattoo” and got multiple hits for it. I also tried “swastika” and found it is not among the choices.

MILITARY: Good.

TENNESSEE: The violent Venezuelan street gang, Tren de Aragua (TDA) that has taken over entire apartment buildings is now operating in every major city in Tennessee. Tennessee is a red state that is nowhere near the southern border.

TOLERANCE: Two of the white women who can’t stand the majority of Americans have joined the ranks of the unemployed following backlash for hate-filled rants they posted.

TRANS: Last year, Russia banned gender-transition medical procedures and its Supreme Court declared the LGBTQ+ ‘movement’ to be extremist. Now, the government is thinking about banning adoption of Russian children by citizens of countries where gender transitioning is legal. Americans have been banned from adopting Russian babies for over a decade. Most of the countries that would be banned if this new rule passes are in Europe, plus Australia, Argentina, and Canada.

2024: Election denying is cool again.

ATTORNEY GENERAL: Trump has chosen Matt Gaetz for this post saying he “will end Weaponized Government, protect our Borders, dismantle Criminal Organizations and restore Americans’ badly-shattered Faith and Confidence in the Justice Department.” I hope the man has a good b.s. detector, cuz Justice seems to be riddled with woke progs who need to be pink slipped outta there.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said Gaetz resigned his seat early so it can be filled as soon as possible.

DOGE: “The three-letter agencies are so fat that they can hardly even move. DOGE is a torpedo that’s about to blow them out of the water.” – Commodore Vanderbilt at Not the Bee

FEMA: That former FEMA supervisor who told her people to ignore hurricane-stricken homes in Florida if there were any Trump signs or flags says lots of her colleagues did the same thing. And an anonymous FEMA official told The New York Post that the agency has not only been skipping Trump-supporting houses, but also avoiding “white or conservative-dominated” disaster zones altogether for years. Hmm … so it wasn’t our imagination after all. Chalk up another win for the conspiracy theorists!

LAWFARE: What a coinkidink! The special counsel behind two of the federal lawfare prosecutions against Donald Trump will be wrapping up his work and stepping down right before Trump takes office in January.

NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE: “Misogynist in Chief” Trump has chosen Tulsi Gabbard, former Democrat and prez wannabe, to clean out the swamp in our intelligence community. I’m delighted to learn she is a Lieutenant Colonel in her state’s National Guard. If she’s half the woman my LTC offspring is, the scum dwellers better get busy polishing off their resumés.

P-NUT: He didn’t have rabies. Neither did Fred. And, you’ll never guess what … oh wait, of course you will. They were not euthanized because P-Nut bit somebody. They were slated for death a full seven days before they were taken from their home for … get this … a lack of documentation.

PENNSYLVANIA: “Sam Danson” has a Facebook page on which he calls Trump-voting Pennsylvanians sexists, racists, rapists, bigots, Nazis, bad parents, and fake Christians. After the election, he posted an upside down American flag, called Donald Trump a “domestic enemy” and his supporters “enemies in your towns,” and encouraged active military servicemen to refuse Trump’s orders as Commander in Chief. As soon as Libs of TikTok outed him as being Joey Maluchnik, Superintendent of Wilkinsburg schools, “Sam Danson” disappeared from Facebook.

SENATE: Senate Republicans have selected Sen. John Thune of South Dakota as their leader for the 119th Congress. He’s only got a 62% conservative voting record, which has got Trumper panties in a bunch. One can’t help wondering if his agenda is to roadblock Trump reforms. However, one could hope that anyone Harry Reid hated that much can’t be too bad.


STATE: That “disgusting racist”, Donald Trump, has nominated Marco Rubio for Secretary of State. If he is confirmed by the Senate, he will become the nation’s first Latino to serve in that position.

TEXAS: The Texas salon owner who was thrown in jail for defying COVID lockdown orders has claimed 75% of the vote for a seat in the Texas state House of Representatives. Shelley Luther ran on a platform that emphasized border security, honest elections, stopping the sexualization of children, securing the electricity grid, abolishing property taxes, and ending federal overreach in areas such as vaccine mandates.

TRANSITION: It is traditional for the lame duck to have a little sit-down with the incoming POTUS during which they make nice and shake hands for the camera. Trump’s first and second such visits could not have been more different. Besides the mens’ attitudes toward one another, there were also the ties (ash gray for Obama, dark red for Biden) and fireplace (cold for Obama, roaring fire for Biden).

CAMPAIGN SPENDING: Money can’t win the White House.

HEALTH: The FDA has approved a new genomic test that has an 86% success rate in diagnosing neurological infections, such as meningitis and encephalitis. Most other tests can only detect one or a few pathogens at a time; this new one can detect all pathogens present by analyzing the genetic material in a patient sample. It also analyzes the quantity, and therefore severity, of any infections.

JESSE WATERS PRIMETIME: [9:05] – This is a fun report on the Trump start up and the media and Democrats’ hand-wringing and finger-pointing.

JOE “DOESN’T GIVE A CRAP ANYMORE” BIDEN: A reporter asked Biden if he thinks that he can get a hostage deal done by the end of his term. He answered, “Do you think that you can keep from getting hit in the head by the camera behind you?”

PLANET FITNESS: Derek Sink (39) checked into one of the gym’s locations in Indianapolis on Friday. Nobody noticed he had not checked out when the gym closed at 9 pm. The facility was open both Saturday and Sunday from 7 am to 7 pm, then opened again on Monday at 5 am. His family reported him missing on Sunday, but I guess nobody knew he might have gone to the gym, because his decomposing body was not found inside a tanning bed until shortly before 9 am after a patron complained of a foul odor.

S&G: This man is banned from speaking to his 5 yo son, because he opposes the mother’s efforts to raise him as a girl. [8:17] – CLICK https://www.tiktok.com/@ahtjordan/video/7436090655551606048 [1:34] to hear Trump lay out his agenda for restoring gender sanity.

WHITE HOUSE: Biden looked genuinely happy at his meeting with Trump. He also wore a burgundy tie, not a Democrat blue one! Is there any question who he and Jill wanted to win … or rather lose?

Trump Appointments

CIA: Trump has selected John Ratcliffe to direct the Central Intelligence Agency. Ratcliffe was once an anti-terrorism and national security chief for Eastern Texas. As a member of Congress, he served on the House Intelligence Committee and the House Judiciary Committee. During Trump’s first term, he served as director of national intelligence.

Trump says, “I look forward to John being the first person ever to serve in both of our nation’s highest Intelligence positions. He will be a fearless fighter for the Constitutional Rights of all Americans, while ensuring the Highest Levels of National Security, and PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH.

DOD: Trump has nominated Army combat veteran and longtime Fox News host Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defense saying, “Pete has spent his entire life as a Warrior for the Troops, and for the Country. Pete is tough, smart and a true believer in America First. With Pete at the helm, America’s enemies are on notice – Our Military will be Great Again, and America will Never Back Down.

CLICK https://x.com/libsoftiktok/status/1856572061906346411 [:18] to hear from military brain trust, Joy Reid, about Hegseth’s appointment. She’s just bitter because, during election week, Hegseth’s show, FOX & Friends Weekend, had a million more viewers than her MSNBC show, The Reidout (1.7 million vs 715,000).

Hegseth actually has an impressive resumé, which Joyless would know if she ever did any actual journalism. As an Army National Guard captain, he served in Iraq and Afghanistan and earned two Bronze Stars, as well as a Combat Infantryman’s Badge. A Princeton and Harvard graduate, Hegseth spent eight years as a Fox News host and is taking a large pay cut to serve as defense secretary. He wrote the bestseller “The War on Warriors,” a critique of left-wing policies undermining the military. And maybe best of all, he is an outsider to the defense industry.

CLICK https://x.com/WesternLensman/status/1856497145588679059 [1:33] to hear what Hegseth had to say about fixing the military long before Trump won the election. Also, Hegseth is a virile manly man with a beautiful wife and seven kids. No wonder they hate him.

DOGE: Trump has appointed Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to lead the new Department of Government Efficiency. Like Trump, these are self-made men … not lawyers or politicians or lawyer-politicians who, like many of the people so-called “serving” in Congress, have never had to create or sell a product or service or meet a payroll. Many, like Kamala Harris have never worked in the public sector at all. You know, that place where your failure to achieve goals is not rewarded with insider trading deals and re-election.

Trump says, “Together, these two wonderful Americans will pave the way for my Administration to dismantle Government Bureaucracy, slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures, and restructure Federal Agencies Essential to the ‘Save America’ Movement.” He expects their entrepreneurial approach to government would send shock waves through Washington.

CLICK https://x.com/Rothmus/status/1856538637766152406 [1:02] to hear Rand Paul describe just a handful of idiotic ways our government has wasted our money. I can not WAIT to see what the DOGE DREAM TEAM does! They are promising it will be fully transparent, with everything they do posted online. Get your popcorn ready, folks!

CLICK https://x.com/alx/status/1856547918263570784 [8:28] to hear MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell pooh-pooh both DOGE and the appointments of Musk and Ramaswamy. He actually said that Susie Wiles will keep the two “as far away from Trump as possible.” Riiiight. Wiles is super devoted to her boss who is super devoted to cutting waste in government. Trump has also expressed his admiration for these appointees many times. I’m guessing Musk, at least, already has Trump’s personal cell number on speed dial. So, dream on, O’Donnell.


IMO, it’s just more sour grapes from the losers at MSNBC. O’Donnell’s show, The Last Word, went from a high of 1.8 million viewers throughout October to 808,000 viewers after the election. The Last Word airs at 10 pm, the same time as Fox’s Gutfeld! (3.8 million viewers).

EPA: Trump has appointed Lee Zeldin to serve as administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, Zeldin (44) served four terms as a Republican congressman repping eastern Long Island before losing the 2022 New York governor’s race to Democrat Kathy Hochul by a surprisingly close margin. He says he plans to “restore American energy dominance, revitalize our auto industry to bring back American jobs, make the United States the global leader of Artificial Intelligence advancement, and slash the red tape holding back American workers from upward economic mobility,

MIDDLE EAST: Trump has created a new “Middle East Special Envoy” position and appointed Steven Witkoff to fill it. Witkoff is a Jewish realtor from NYC who Trump says, “will be an unrelenting Voice for PEACE, and make us all proud.”

Disappointed lefties appear to be limiting their angsty protests to bizarre social media posts.

Leonard Sorrato, the Assistant Director for Fraternity and Sorority Life at the University of Oregon recorded himself telling Trump supporters to kill themselves and then post it online for all to see. He’s on leave pending an investigation.

Annie Dunleavy, a special education teacher at Chapman School in CT, recorded herself threatening to harm or even kill Trump supporters and posted it online for all to see. Like Sorrato, she is also on leave pending an investigation.

A bunch of loony lefties are protesting Trump’s win by posting videos of themselves shaving their heads and/or threatening to shoot white men on sight.

CLICK https://x.com/EndWokeness/status/1855616067948675546 [:25] to hear why masking up is the quickest and most effective form of protest. Oooookay. Reminder: I wear a mask for my chemical hypersensitivities! NOT because I am afraid of COVID or mourning the election. Sheesh.

Disappointed white women have decided they need to mark themselves in some way so they can “identify who we can talk to.” The first idea was a special blue bracelet, but some feel that isn’t permanent enough and are calling for the herd to choose a special tattoo cuz, yeah, being the losers definitely means you should get a brand. Or something.

And if branding isn’t enough, you could model your lunacy after the evil mom whose videos I refuse to watch, but which are posted @ https://notthebee.com/article/this-woman-decided-to-publicly-shame-her-maga-sons-why-are-people-like-this.

Or, you can book a four-year cruise and just skip the Trump years altogether. The only catches are (a) the cost ($159,999 per person for a double room or $255,999 for a single-occupancy cabin) and (b) the cruise line is somewhat notorious for stiffing people. Last year, the maiden voyage, which was sold as a three-years-at-sea adventure to retirees, was called off two weeks before departure, leaving some of the passengers homeless. It turned out that they hadn’t even procured a ship for the voyage yet. The company promised a full refund but had to make it in monthly installments to the passengers. Kinda sounds like it’s being run by Democrats …

CLICK https://x.com/Protestia/status/1856301876116861228 [2:33] to hear a pastor wearing a purple stole describe from the pulpit the 5 stages of grief he went through after the election. ::eyeroll::

You know who actually has a reason to mourn and that’s MSNBC, which has lost around half its viewers in the seven days since Kamala lost the election.

On a positive note and, in an answer to prayers I plan to continue, the transition period has, so far, been non-violent. CLICK https://x.com/TONYxTWO/status/1856056715483177256 [:45] to see Manhattan white folks limit their MAGA reactions to sneering and glaring. Wait a minute … aren’t these microaggressions?!

NICK FREITAS: [4:37] – Good clip. 🙂

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.”

We also see the great opportunities facing Israel, in the area of peace and its expansion, and in other areas.” – Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu

TRANSITION: “Any Republican Senator seeking the coveted LEADERSHIP position in the United States Senate must agree to Recess Appointments (in the Senate!), without which we will not be able to get people confirmed in a timely manner.” – Trump on Truth Social

He reminded Republicans that last time confirmations were stalled for two or more years and “we cannot let it happen again. We need positions filled IMMEDIATELY!”

He also wrote that should not confirm any judges before his inauguration “because the Democrats are looking to ram through their Judges as the Republicans fight over Leadership. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.”

DEMOCRATS: Yale University chief psychiatry resident Dr. Amanda Calhoun told MSNBC host Joy Reid that disappointed members of the party of tolerance, inclusion, and compassion need to firmly establish holiday boundaries with Trump-voting members of their families. She said to say, “I have a problem with the way that you voted because it went against my very livelihood, and I’m not going to be around you this holiday. I need to take some space for me.” I guess having them stay away from holiday gatherings is a step up from being banished from holiday gatherings for refusing the Fauci Ouchie.

FAUXTUS: President Joe Biden and President-elect Donald Trump will meet at 11 a.m. at the White House on Nov. 13 to discuss plans for the presidential transition. [Graphic: First Lady Jill Biden on Election Day. Hmmm … I wonder who she voted for.]

MEDIA: CBS can’t stop CBSing. The white woman they’re showing on the story is the head of FEMA who fired the woman on the right who actually perpetrated the odious instructions.

MISOGYNY: CLICK https://x.com/amuse/status/1854969596132180475 [:17] and https://x.com/fleccas/status/917945914790002693 [:50] to see Jimmy Kimmel disrespecting women while his audience laughs. Jimmy Kimmel made four trips to Epstein’s island. Jimmy Kimmel wept real tears over Kamala’s loss. If we eliminated liberal masculinity, we’d have a whole lot less toxic masculinity.

NEW YORK: A New York judge has ruled that the Rotten Apple may not use an 1817 ‘anti-pauper’ law to block Texas from busing illegals.

OREGON: After the driver of a Columbia River Fire & Rescue ambulance plowed into a cyclist, the crew scooped up their victim and took him to the hospital. In addition to the loss of his bicycle, the 71-year-old man suffered a broken nose and multiple lacerations across his body. The hospital charged him tens of thousands for patching him up. Rather than apologizing and replacing his bicycle, the ambulance company sent him a bill for $1,862. The man is suing. I hope he gets every penny.

TOLERANCE: Angry whack-a-doodle Harris women are posting videos of themselves taking vows of chastity, shaving their heads, getting blue heart tattoos, encouraging one another to get hysterectomies, and … get this … sharing poison recipes. Best comment I saw: “This is a mix of mental illness and demonic possession.

TRUMP ECONOMY: He won’t take over for two months, but the optimism among investors has already caused this past week to hit the best in 2024.

WHAT WENT WRONG: Democrats are busily ‘splaining how Trump managed to win the electoral college, the popular vote, and all of the swing states. But it’s not in an effort to actually understand or learn from their loss. Here’s a small sampling. Try not to get dumber as you read them. Kamala lost because … of Obama she isn’t a white man … she ain’t black enough … Americans are soft, stupid, privileged babies … the election was rigged … Elon Musk’s Starlink did something … Russia cheated again … of Netanyahu’s traitor network … Ann Selzer (an obscure Iowa pollster) galvanized Republicans into going to the polls to prove her wrong … there are too many gays in the Democrat consultant class … men aren’t reasonable or rational … the internet was censored … the working class is largely stupid, uneducated, and suspectable to propaganda.

P.S., from Grammy Grammar – This “largely stupid, uneducated” Trump voter would like to point out that “suspectable” means “that may be suspected.” In the last statement in the list above, it modifies “the working class” not “propaganda.” It says, “the working class may be suspected”, leaving “to propaganda” just dangling at the end. The word this “highly educated” and totally “not” stupid Kamala supporter wanted was “suspicious” and it’s suspicious “of”, not “to.”

P.P.S., Keep on doing what you’re doing, Dems. We like winning!! Or emigrate to a “better” nation. That works too. Reuters reports that Google searches for “Move to Canada,” “Move to New Zealand,” and “Move to Australia” have surged by thousands of percentage points since Trump won.

GRAMMY NOTES: Oh wow!! The Mascots received this wonderful piece of history from a fellow Post Crosser and it even arrived yesterday, right on the 35th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall! I have a chunk of the wall. I remember being in a department store and seeing them for sale. We were so broke back then, but I thought about the German teacher at our high school who had actually risked her life to climb that evil wall and knowing I’d probably never have the chance again blew three whole dollars (lots of money for us then!) on it. I’m SO glad I did!! (If you didn’t already, please bigify the back of the postcard. This lady’s story is worth it.)
