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! Sit down and let me pass you some champagne. There’s also some very nice (and spiked) wassail, if you prefer. A hearty brunch to fuel you through any Christmas shopping you need to do. And, as Hanukkah begins at sunset Christmas Day, find some very crisp latkas, brisket, and kugel to die for! The portside is still simmering and simpering and worthy of mega-sized stockings filled with coal this past week. Lift your glasses as January 20, 2025, can’t come soon enough and let’s get to it. L’Chaim!

To be honest, Creepy Joe probably didn’t order this. His handlers are doing all the heavy lifting like evicted tenants punching holes in walls and pouring cement down toilets prior to being dragged out. Joe just got a pudding cup with promises of more if he just start signing the papers put in front of him.

The normalization and institutionalization of anti-Semitism.
Columbia University will offer a course on “Zionism” in spring 2025 taught by a professor who described terrorist attacks by Hamas against Israel as “awesome.”
Titled Palestinian-Israeli POLIT/SOC, the course covers “The History of the Jewish Enlightenment (Haskala) in 19th century Europe and the development of Zionism through the current peace process between the state of Israel and the Arab states and the Palestinian national movement.” (snip)
The professor assigned to teach the course is Joseph Massad, who also instructs Modern Arab Politics and Intellectual History at Columbia. Massad is known for writing an article for The Electronic Intifada the day after the Oct. 7, 2023, terrorist attack on Israel, in which he described the event as “astounding,” “incredible,” and a “stunning victory.”
When you find someone who supports, praises, or makes excuses for Oct 7th, know you’re in the company of a Jewhater. Could be a fringe-right Aryan Bro or, more likely, a Leftwinger with terrorist envy.

I have a few questions for the astrophysicist here:
JUST IN: Neil deGrasse Tyson warns CNN viewers that refusing to trust the so-called “experts” could put your life at risk.
Doing your own research, he says, “could have ultimately lethal consequences if you’re making decisions that affect your health and well-being.”

Because it is quite interesting he mentions plumbing. Is Neil too high and lofty to do simple home repairs himself (where YouTube videos have been a huge boon) or has he never had to deal with contractors, just putting all his trust in “oh, he’s got the right state credentials, what could go wrong?”
Mike Holmes would like a word.
Sorry, Neil, no competent doctor/contractor/plumber/electrician/auto-repair shop, is ever bothered by the client vetting them, looking at references, getting 2nd or 3rd opinions/bids, or doing independent research on the scope of work to be done.
Trust is earned, dude. Not given based solely on credentials.

With Trump’s reelection, there is good reason that “drill, baby, drill” shouldn’t be limited to fossil fuels.
China claims to have discovered the world’s largest deposit of gold:
China is claiming to have unearthed the largest gold deposit in the world — estimated to be worth more than $80 billion.
More than 1,000 tons of gold reserves and ore veins were allegedly discovered by geologists from the Hunan Provincial Geological Institute some 12 miles beneath the surface in China’s Pingjiang County, according to China state media.
The gold find is believed to be a whopping $83 billion.
That may shore up China’s fading economy for a while. But the point I want to make is that China’s newsmaking gold strike has less than one-tenth the value of the trillion dollars in undeveloped copper, nickel, platinum and other mineral resources that we have in northern Minnesota. These resources are undeveloped solely because liberals have blocked all efforts to mine them.
It isn’t stupidity that allowed Americans to be convinced they had to off-shore their needs in order to Save Mother Gaia. It was bowing to “experts” who cried about climate change, owls, bait fish or whatever reason they glomed on to in order to bring American independence and liberty to heel.
“The issue is never the issue. The issue is always The Revolution.”
We have two short years to turn this ship starboard. Prayers for 47.

Behold the acolytes who fervently practice under The Personal is Political
“The shift in politics will be visceral across several aspects of daily life. You expect the masses to just ignore RFK eating at Le Diplomate on a Sunday morning after a few mimosas and not to throw a drink in his face?,” says Zac Hoffman, a DC restaurant veteran who is now a manager at the National Democratic Club (but has never worked at Le Diplomate). (snip)
Dining decorum and “civility” were already hot button issues during the last Trump administration. In 2018, when news about family separations at the border had reached a fever pitch, Democratic congresswoman Maxine Waters called on the public to “push back” on Trump Cabinet members they encountered in restaurants, department stores, or gas stations and tell them “they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere.”
More recently, liberal activists tried to enlist hospitality workers in aiding with public disruptions.
Such nice people.

Can’t get enough of the reopening of Notre Dame Cathedral …
This is food for the soul and a chalice for the heart.

Tech advances are wonderful, but costly. Thanks to The Big Hero 3 campaign, three children are receiving bionic arms for Christmas.
Ettie Baker, age 8, Zoey Hampton-Pigeon, age 8, and Finn Jarvis, age 11, were all given “life-changing” bionic arms this week courtesy of The Big Hero 3 campaign.
Launched by a mom named Sarah Lockey whose own daughter faced physical challenges, the campaign helps families of children with missing limbs fundraise for bionic arms, news agency SWNS reported.
What I love most about this isn’t just the fundraising to help these children, but that the arms are super hero designed with cool colors and sleek aesthetics. Now if people notice, it isn’t because of the lack of a hand or arm.

Oh, dear. Our time together has come to a close. Fill a doggy bag or two and spend the rest of Sunday how you like. Don’t get too bogged down in wrapping and prepping to sit back once and while and count your blessings. See you next Sunday. Cheers!
