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! Our first Sunday of September, a three-day weekend, and the kick-off of the “ber” months. As the summer heat eases off and the trees change, there’s a lot to be grateful for and this week is going to be a special one of remembrance as Friday is the 25th Anniversary of 9/11. Please take a moment of each day, not just to remember where you were when America was attacked, but to pass those memories to anyone you know who wasn’t born until afterwards. We must pass this on to the next generations. It’s a sacred obligation. That’s my lecture today, dears. Let the champagne flow, fill our plates and get to it! More than ever, L’Chaim!

Never let a crisis go to waste …

Climate change caused Nepal's deadly flooding, say the media. It's nonsense. In truth, climate activists diverted billions in USAID and UN climate funding from low-cost flood death prevention, mostly sensors and sirens, proven to save lives, into woke green ESG nonsense. pic.twitter.com/I4SWDTlvmC

Biden family must be running low on cash …

Hunter is out trying to be relevant.

Hunter Biden: "I don't care if you are a James Talarico democrat, Abdul El-Sayed democrat or a Zohran Mamdani democrat. I don't care. As long as they are opposed to Donald Trump, we have to get them into a position of power to do something." pic.twitter.com/eKahbkli7A

This is all…

What does “to do something” look like in the TDS Left?

That’s the entire @DNC strategy

“Orange man bad” will not save this country

They have nothing to offer

Speaking of Alfred E. Talarico …

In a private Zoom meeting with Austin Sierra Club activists, James talarico says capitalism is an oppressive system he wants to dismantle:

"I'm … thankful that young activists have really drawn the link between climate change and white supremacy and capitalism in our country.… pic.twitter.com/sPDDXg6l5q

In case you were ever confused about Jemele Hill

On CNN NewsNight, The Atlantic’s Jemele Hill argues that capitalism is oppressive and bound up in white supremacy.

Kmele Foster: “It's one thing to not think capitalism isn't working ideally. It's another thing entirely to insist that it is oppressive, that it is bound up with… pic.twitter.com/PLWRCuxt7v

The Atlantic should be ashamed of whatever DEI HR they have that decided Hill had any intelligence, or morals, at all.

Uh, what?

This is one of the most unbelievable videos

Rep Maxwell Frost says he didn’t live the American Dream despite going from being an uber driver to becoming a powerful politician who’s worth millions

Just for the folks in the back, the American dream has always been “you start with little, work hard, and succeed.” AND no one interferes with you because of the circumstances of your birth. You also get to decide at what level you want your success and accept your success comes with how many other people wish to voluntarily trade with you.

Someone get Jemele Hill on the line and let’s see if she wants that discussion on capitalism again.

Dad power

🎥WATCH: The father of a girl who was severely injured by an illegal alien tells lawmakers "I reject your guys' sympathy to be honest with you. There's no way you guys are sorry."

"It's getting ridiculous the way things are going now."

More dads like him. More Americans like him.

Sunday palate cleanser

Yes.

German Shepherd puppies are a scam.

They suck you in with giant ears, paws they haven’t grown into yet, and that ridiculous head tilt.

Next thing you know, you haven’t gone to the bathroom alone in three years, half the couch belongs to them, and apparently personal space is no…
