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.
Happy Sunday, dear friends! November is fast slipping away and one of my favorite holidays, Thanksgiving (though it has become the red-headed stepchild squeezed between Halloween and Christmas), is in a few short days. With all the feasting — have you seen our brunch spread today? — I’m slipping into my very fashionable but comfortable clothes for the foreseeable future. Do indulge in a thick slice of stollen and don’t skimp on the pumpkin waffles and thick-sliced, smoked bacon. Sad to say the Woke apparatchiks are still seething. Shall we start a pool on what year they may relent? Naw. I don’t know if we’d ever have a payout! So lift your glasses, dears. Let us welcome the return of American exceptionalism! To us!

JUST IN: MSNBC guest says Pete Hegseth is a far-right extremist who promotes "military-level" weaponry because he sold grenade soap.
Soap is a sign of far-right extremism now.

The rest of the text:
“Hegseth has tattoos that are linked to far-right extremism… It’s also interesting that he was making videos selling grenade soap.”
“He was selling ammo. Now, of course, the US Military uses government-issued ammo. He was selling something not a handgun someone might keep around the house to defend.”
“He was selling something for grenades, weapons, military level, you know, weapons.”
“You know, people like that, extremists buy those things, military-level weapons. And they’re not in the military.”
“You know, Hegseth could be for those who want to radicalize the military and politicize it. He could be a bridge because of his views and that’s very, very dangerous.”
Hegseth is only dANgEroUs to the perfumed princes of the Pentagon — part of the military-industrial complex President Eisenhower warned us about.

The coverup of the Democrat’s Reichstag fire of Jan 6 by Liz Cheney, et al, hasn’t been as thorough as they thought.
Federal bureaucrats within the Department of Defense (DoD) delayed the deployment of the National Guard on Jan. 6, 2021 and covered it up, according to a House Republican investigation of government conduct related to the Capitol riot. (snip)
“After a thorough examination of emails and documents, including letters, memorandums, agreements, plans, orders, reports, briefings, statements made in congressional hearings, closed-door testimony to the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol (‘Select Committee’), and closed-door testimony made to the DoD IG,” Loudermilk wrote, “the Subcommittee’s investigation has concluded that the Department of Defense intentionally delayed the deployment of the DC [National Guard] to the Capitol on January 6, 2021.”
“Furthermore,” Loudermilk added, “the Subcommittee also maintains that the DoD IG knowingly concealed the extent of the delay in constructing a narrative that is favorable to DoD and Pentagon leadership.”
I believe I’m going to give up my plans to open a Pitchforks And Torches R Us store and look to partner with some experts in the building trades on being a leader in bringing these back into vogue.

There is not one inch you grant the Left because it sounded reasonable at the time that they won’t come back for the mile and beat you up if you disagree.

I lost all parental rights to my sons. Goodbye, boys. Perhaps, we will meet when you are adults.

More than half of American voters voted for Trump. He won the popular vote by a decisive margin!
Cutting someone off just because they voted for the other candidate is close-minded and just plain mean. https://t.co/nMQ8pDLcly

Heroic anonymous colleagues throw their bodies over the dangerous sandwiches.
A Minnesota hospital issued a profuse apology to staff after failing to abide by its “values of respect and justice” — by giving out free Chick-fil-A. (snip)
“We have received feedback from some colleagues who were concerned or offended by this occurrence, and we value colleagues feeling comfortable expressing their reservations,” Tammy Kritzer, senior vice president for regional operations at Essentia Health wrote in an email to medical staff that was obtained by The Daily Wire.
“We would like to thank our colleagues who had the courage to speak up to widen our lens of inclusivity, and we appreciate all colleagues continuing to live our values of respect and justice,” Kritzer wrote.
Funny, my definition of “inclusive” would not include depriving my co-workers of yummy food because of hysterical feelz.
Then again, I’m not insane. Would one of you dears pass the bourbon?

From the London subway comes the story of a Good Samaritan who saw a blind man lose a shoe and offered his own to make sure the man could keep his balance. (snip)
Approaching the train as it arrived at the platform, the blind man tripped, setting off a chain of good reactions that made Sami “shiver.”
“A few of us on the train then helped the gentleman find a seat. Once the man sat down he realized he had a missing shoe,” Sami wrote in a post on Reddit. “It slipped between the platform and the train.” (snip)
“This absolute hero without hesitation took off his shoe and gave it to the blind man. It is a damn cold day after he got out at Liverpool Street to try and find a pair of shoes.”
Then this hero, wanting privacy, slipped away.
Wherever you are, sir. Well done.

Sadly, dears, our Sunday brunch together has come to a close. Come Friday the countdown to Christmas begins … yes, I know, retailers, radio stations and advertisers jumped on the Christmas music and gift list promotions even as Halloween decorations hadn’t been boxed for the season. But a girl has to have her traditions and mine starts after Thanksgiving. And from my home to yours, I hope you have a wonderful day filled with family, friends and food. I’ll be lifting my wine glass in your direction. Seen you next Sunday. Cheers!
