Mimosa, Bloody Mary, nice flute of champagne — or maybe a favorite tipple in your coffee. Make yourself one and join me at our own Algonquin Round Table, the spirit of Dorothy Parker abides.

Another Sunday with you, dear friends. I’d love to be a bit happier but what a way to end the week but with Iran-sponsored terrorist invasion of Israel. Creepy Joe’s minutes long teleprompter read of hollow words more than 12 hours after the wicked launch of evil was unconscionable. Oh, yes the words themselves sounded fine, but there was no indication of action. And we know since this is Obama’s shadow third term, anything like sending an aircraft carrier to the region is off the table. The One hates Bibi and Israel even more than the peanut farmer does. So let’s lift up our glasses, with a salute to Israel and our prayers for a swift and sure resolution to the cancer that is Fakeistinian terrorists. Let’s get to it.

How else to explain Gov Retched Whitmer’s riff on “some people did something”?

Israel is a sovereign nation, not some “region”.

Climate Crisis apparatchiks born without irony gene

Normative behavior is probably racist or something to these Global Citizens …

NEW: 12-acres of Central Park's Great Lawn will be closed until at least April 2024 following damage from Global Citizen Festival on Sept. 23 – per Gale Brewer.

How’s that “self-id” thing working out for you woke TechChicks, eh?

Oh my. It wasn’t that many years ago when the men-in-dresses-are-really-women thing was being floated that the more sane adults joked that it could be stopped cold if all women’s sports and spaces were invaded by oodles of guys claiming to be girls. How little did we realize the joke would become a cudgel. Yet, with stunts like this, maybe we’ll see the female penis go the way of the pet rock or cinnamon challenge.

Poor dears, you can’t tell the “sincere” self-id queer from someone gaming the system? DING DING DING!! That’s the whole point. Not only is there no objective test for this completely feelings-based sham, you all insisted that even to ask for any proof was nothing but transphobia.

Let the popcorn flow, sweethearts.

Pregnant women have no time for nonsense

Pregnancy has the effect of really sharpening a woman’s focus especially as pending birth cannot be rescheduled because something more fun popped up on the calendar. I recall that Robert Heinlein once mused that all judges should be women who have given birth because they have learned not to tolerate the foolish wasting of time. I’ve been there four times and, oh my, I stood up cheered this:

I am over 8 months pregnant with two toddlers at home. If you are a 20 year old adult who feels “actively victimized” by my standing on stage to speak about social and economic conservatism, it is because your parents failed you, entirely.
It is not my job to coddle adults. https://t.co/JePdQDjEdC

The Praetorian Media’s non-story of the week

It’s pretty hard to even know of the millions in CCP dollars wired to the Bidens — Lamestream media either ignoring it or saying there’s no there there. But just when you think this dysfunctional family has reached the bottom of toxic pond scum, here comes Hunter:

On its face, this story shouldn’t matter to the political question of whether Joe Biden was compromised. According to the Mail, Hunter Biden withdrew $20,000 in December of 2018 from his daughter’s college fund to pay for hookers and drugs. The kicker here is not just that Hunter Biden was cheating on his current girlfriend, his sister-in-law Hallie, or that he was prioritizing prostitutes and crack over paying child support for his illegitimate daughter Navy Joan, who was born just a few months prior. It is that the Biden family funds were fungible enough that Hunter Biden was allowed to siphon off five figures from a 529 account belonging to someone else and that he reportedly still has not paid the requisite taxes on it, a full five years later.

Even before we had the wire transfer clearly showing Joe Biden, in Delaware, as the beneficiary of Chinese cash scored by Hunter Biden, who was living in California at the time, we had countless pieces of proof, including Hunter’s email claiming as much, that proved Biden family cash, like wives, were essentially communal. Now we have the literal receipts.

Dear me, I need some brainbleach.

Your Sunday smile

If I live to 104, I expect cake. Lots of cake and champagne. Do count on me not to do this.

A 104-year-old Chicago woman is hoping to be certified as the oldest person to ever skydive after leaving her walker on the ground and making a tandem jump in northern Illinois.

“Age is just a number,” Dorothy Hoffner told a cheering crowd moments after touching the ground Sunday at Skydive Chicago in Ottawa, about 85 miles (140 kilometers) southwest of Chicago, the Chicago Tribune reported.

Though, congrats to her if this is the way she wanted to celebrate. I’ll just relax and have another slice.

Goodness, this Sunday repast with you has gone by fast! Hold your family close, make a couple calls to friends you care about. The world is a precarious place and the best of it is in our relationships. See you next Sunday. Cheers!
