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! Here we are, our last brunch of 2024. And, boy howdy, what a year it has been! Certainly the biggest moment was Trump’s decisive comeback. That certainly harshed the mellow of many. Oh, I’ve almost overdosed on schadenfreude watching the histrionics and finger pointing of the portside narcissists. Keyword: Almost. Be a dear and pass me another cup of Liberal Tears, eh?

There will be plenty of lists of 2024 moments, but let me recommend off-beat roundups, like The Year Reheated by David Thompson. So grab a plate, let me fill your flute and let’s look at what this week has dragged in. L’Chaim!

How dare you have an opinion that differs from ours!

This isn’t about the quiet part. The minute in 2015 that Trump announced his run for the Presidency as a Republican, the Uni-Party Ministry of Truth has worked overtime to take him and anyone with a good word about him down. The censorship across Google, Facebook and pre-Musk Twitter was obvious.

“The Resistance” 2.0

The remoras haven’t given up on the idea of sabotaging Trump again. And some of the worst bloodsuckers are quite open in their advocacy.

Politico published an opinion piece Sunday from a former attorney of Bill Clinton and Brett Kavanaugh accuser, “pleading” with government employees to keep their jobs to fight the incoming Trump administration.

Max Stier, the president and CEO of civil service-focused nonprofit Partnership for Public Service, put up the piece, titled “Dear Federal Workers: Don’t Quit,” on the site.

You may remember Stier from the smear campaign against Brett Kavanaugh. He was just another oozing carbuncle who peddled anonymous accusations to the NY Times.

“I am asking you — pleading with you: stay. Your decision isn’t just about your career, or a single president. It’s part of a larger war, one waged throughout American history, over what the federal government can and should be.”

“Part of a larger war” … Hmmmm … sounds a bit insurrectiony, donja think?

A win against the Biden vandalism

BREAKING: Texas AG @KenPaxtonTX announces he has successfully blocked the Biden administration from disposing of any more border wall material as a result of a hearing w/ a federal judge today. Paxton says the Biden admin has agreed to not dispose of anymore wall material for the…

Paxton’s press release

The Biden Administration confirmed to the court today that it will agree to an order preventing the outgoing administration from disposing of any further border wall materials over the next 30 days—allowing President Trump to use those materials as he sees fit. This will be adopted as an order of the court, making it enforceable if any violations occur.

Additionally, the court stated that Texas is entitled to documentation proving that the Biden Administration has not violated an injunction secured by Attorney General Paxton in May of 2024 that required the Biden Administration to spend statutorily obligated funds on border wall construction after the federal government attempted to illegally redirect the money.

Still too much time between now and January 20th for more shenanigans from the Obama/Biden cabal.

Insane, but not “insanity”

INSANITY: California judge rules a man who allegedly raped women in prison must be referred to as ‘she/her’ during trial because he 'deserves dignity' pic.twitter.com/lISInd1xc4

And since this male is acting as his own representative, he’ll be allowed to correct any one in the court who doesn’t use “she/her” pronouns about him. Including his victims who take the stand to testify.

Women who allege they were raped in a California prison by a biological male claiming to be transgender will be compelled to refer to the defendant using she/her pronouns, a Madera County judge ruled last week, further complicating a case centered on a crime that was emboldened from the outset by the government.

Tremaine Carroll allegedly raped multiple inmates while at Central California Women’s Facility in Chowchilla after securing placement there by self-identifying as transgender. The Transgender Respect, Agency and Dignity Act, which took effect in January 2021, allows California inmates to be placed in a facility corresponding with the sex they say they are. Under the law, a prisoner need not be on hormones, have had surgery, or undergo a psychological evaluation to be approved. The government considers their testimony sufficient.

Insanity implies a disordered mind unable to deal with reason or reality. This is deliberate. Just another instance of Leftism working to control the language (ala 1984’s Newspeak) in order to control the population.

You don’t hate legacy media enough

I find it weird that this report seems to omit that Mexico's homicide rate is 3X that of the United States on a per capita basis despite the US having significantly more guns. https://t.co/siPAV0np4a

“Even the smallest person can change the course of the future.”

An 8-year-old boy is being hailed as a hero after saving the life of his choking friend in the elementary school cafeteria.

Thomas Conley, a second-grade student at Porter Elementary School in Mesa, Arizona, noticed that his friend was choking on a grape and sprang into action, according to local reports.

Conley immediately performed the Heimlich maneuver — also known as abdominal thrusts — on Isaiah Rodriguez, which dislodged the grape.

Bravo, Thomas! And special kudos to your parents for teaching you how to save lives.

Where did the time go, dears? And in three days, we’ll have to get used to writing 2025. One quarter into the 21st Century. Yowzer. Please go and enjoy the rest of your Sunday. We will meet again next week (next year!). Cheers!
