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! Make yourself comfortable as I pour the bubbly and pass you your flute. We are into the 2nd week of 2026 and, boy howdy, it might be winter but things are simmering along. We’ve had crying commies … in New York and Portland. As the upending of Iran grows closer, pro-Hamas Democrats (e.g. AOC) have suddenly discovered they have always been on the Jews side. And on the anniversary of the Palisades & Eaton fires, where the moonscape of empty lots remain, Gavin “I’m running for President” Newsom and Karen Bass were nowhere to be found.

Shocking, right?

Pass the plates, dears, and dig in while the waffles are hot and the bacon crisp. Let’s get to it! L’Chaim.

JUST IN: @MarcoRubio announces that NGOs are being *CUT OFF* and all foreign aid will now go straight to national governments.

I’ve always liked Marco, but I have to admit he has really come into his own here. And the “Rubio finds out …” memes are priceless!

Which Marco Rubio meme is your favorite? Some should make trading cards! 🤣🤣 pic.twitter.com/xiFEEleYpK

Democrats have no standards Part I

It was all fake. All their virtue signaling. All their calls for action. All their pretending that they cared about Maduro’s crimes and wanted him removed. https://t.co/XZZH9rpKn2 pic.twitter.com/pYCpbdIyB8

Democrats have no standards Part 2

How to tell it’s an election year: Democrats condemn Hamas 🤡

The talking points went out and they’re so transparent.

You don’t get to do that now after inciting and encouraging antisemitism for the past 2 years.

Those are YOUR people.
You ARE Hamas. pic.twitter.com/d49ynvkPqr

Democrats have been pro-Hamas — making excuses for Oct 7th and supporting everything anti-Israel — for a long time. And suddenly, on a dime ..

Whatever will get them, and keep them, in power RULES.

Hit back, twice as hard

Your Sunday smile

A Hallmark movie made real right in Hershey, PA.

Once a year, stuffed animals take flight inside an arena in Hershey, Pennsylvania, flying through the air in a cavalcade of color creating ‘sweet cuddly mayhem’ on the ice.

For a quarter century, the Hershey Bears, a minor league team in the American Hockey League, has been hosting the epic Teddy Bear Toss game for charity.

In the annual event, as soon as the home team scores its first goal, excited fans launch thousands of stuffed animals onto the ice—a chaos of colorful creatures, big and small, raining down from the stadium seats above the players.

What absolute fun! Plush-on, Hershey Bears!

I’m sorry to announce, dear friends, that another Sunday brunch has come to an end. Go enjoy the day. Take a walk, read a book, visit with loved ones. Enjoy what the day has to offer and let’s meet back here next week. Cheers!
