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! What a week! From Halloween to staring down the barrel of upcoming “Holiday Season”. November, you say? And I hope this morning you’re feeling a bit more rested what with last nights fall-back hour gifted to you.
Please don’t toss the petit fours at me, dears, this blazer is dry clean only. Here, have this Peach Bellini and tuck into the scrumptious frittatas this morning and let’s get to it.

Let’s just say, dears, that this little nugget of Democrat fraud in Bridgeport CT, using the same absentee/drop-off ballot shennigans rampant two years ago, is definitely shocking. Oh no, the steal wasn’t shocking, it was that the court actually paid attention this time!
BRIDGEPORT – A judge ruled on Wednesday to overturn the city’s Democratic primary election, initially won by incumbent Mayor Joe Ganim, following claims of absentee ballot fraud by his opponent, John Gomes.
After two weeks of evidentiary hearings for Gomes’s absentee ballot fraud lawsuit, Judge William Clark ordered a new Democratic primary based on 180 pieces of evidence presented by Gomes’s legal counsel.
In the 37-page ruling, Clark said the video footage presented by Bill Bloss – Gomes’s attorney – was particularly alarming.
Imagine that! A judge actually looking at evidence and not tossing out the initial lawsuit for standing or other invented “procedural” reasons.

$16 for a burger, fries and soda: McDonald’s customers slam franchise, fume it’s ‘no longer affordable’ https://t.co/NZMbd6527Y pic.twitter.com/YgiMXW8JxP

An enraged McDonald’s customer says the fast food franchise is no longer affordable for ordinary Americans, calling the company’s contemporary prices “crazy.”
“So, I get there’s a labor shortage, I get there’s wage increases and a number of other things,” Idaho man Christopher Olive began in a viral TikTok clip, which has recently resurfaced.
“But $16? $16 for a burger, a large fry and a drink? It’s just crazy!”
Of course it is “crazy”, Chris. But don’t say you get it when you clearly don’t. There’s this thing called inflation … you know, Bidenomics? All food has increased in price. Labor, too. If it isn’t Newscum’s California raising fast food worker minimum wage to $20/hour, it’s that other markets have to raise their wages to attract workers.
General rule of thumb in the restaurant biz, is that labor cannot go about 30% of revenue. Operating costs can’t go above another 30%. Prices set accordingly. So, Christopher? Others? Time to call up your grandmother or get in touch with any adult who lived through the Great Depression and learn about cooking at home on the cheap.
Remember to save your bacon fat!

Behind the not-so-quiet scenes.
Democratic governors and senators are quietly moving to boost their national profiles and position themselves to run for president in 2028 — or in 2024, if President Biden unexpectedly drops out.
Why it matters: The ambitious, next-generation Democrats all support Biden’s re-election — but they’re drawing battle lines for the next race for the White House.
In the analysis, there are several far-left politicians — including Gretchen Whitmer and Gavin Newsom — all working the donor/volunteers circuit, raising PAC cash for their runs while mouthing undying loyalty to Creepy Joe’s re-election.
Not one Pravda media outlet will cover the comings and goings of the steady stream of people visiting the Obama’s DC mansion aka the Shadow Oval Office. Since Former PresidentIWonPenPhone has embedded whole platoons of his people into the Biden administration, there’s no reason to believe any Democrat will buck The One’s wishes. Creepy Joe may be the most corrupt and unpopular President in our lifetime, but he’s Barry’s puppet. And no one gets to the Oval Office except through him. And the chess move? Biden drops out after Jan 1st, completely blasting away the primary season and tossing the nomination to the convention. Whoever ends up as the GOP primary pick will be old news (and thoroughly bloodied by BigMedia and BigTech) by Dems August convention where the New!Improved!ShinyThing! will be enthusiastically pushed with little opposition allowed to be broadcast.
Shall I order some killer margaritas, or shall we just do tequila shots?

Oh look, Loudoun County School Board is getting more pushback … now from the students.
LOUDOUN COUNTY, Va. (7News) — On Wednesday, students at Woodgrove High School walked out of school in protest of the Loudoun County School Board’s policy that allows nonbinary, gender fluid and transgender students to use the school bathrooms and locker rooms of their choice. (snip)
About 50-100 students walked out of Woodgrove High School asking the school board to restore girls-only and boys-only locker rooms, showers and bathrooms in schools.
The policy of denying the reality of human sex and that most boys and girls are not willing to get naked in front of strangers of the opposite sex, is one of power politics. It has not a flippin’ thing to do with inclusion or tolerance of the “gender divergent”. It’s about beating kids into parroting lies, to psychologically break them.
7News has heard from students at Woodgrove High School who wanted to participate in the student walkout Wednesday morning to restore girls-only and boys-only bathrooms and locker rooms, but the students were discouraged by their teachers.
Time to purge these groomers out of the teaching profession entirely.

Nice to find nuggets of schools doing it right, especially with teens. Here the kids are learning great skills, discipline and charitable works. More please!
Fullerton middle schoolers learn skills, help others by building tiny house for family in need. (snip)
Jeremy Davis, the Fullerton School District’s assistant superintendent for innovation and instructional support, said it started with a request from their superintendent for ideas that would allow students to see potential careers that would make the world better.
“This is one of the ideas…what if we had the kids build a tiny home, and what if we had kids document it, and what if maybe somebody could live in that tiny home, one of our old families,” Davis said.

And I’m sorry to say our Sunday morning repast has come to a close. Time to go out and enjoy the rest of the day … a good book or a good friend (sometimes it is one-in-the-same). Let’s pray for the hostages, especially the little children, that they will soon be free. See you next week. Shalom.

GWB says: But don’t say you get it when you clearly don’t.
One of the stories (about an $18 meal) had the fact that one was a turnpike Chez Mac. Where you’re a captive customer and prices go up accordingly. (Along with the fact that they pay high rents in those locations.) Just like if there were a Mickey D’s inside an amusement park, you would pay $20 for a regular burger and fries – the soda would cost extra.
And yes, inflation is key here. But understand a lot of this is simply pent up from the decades of “free money” the Fed pushed – exactly for the purpose of maintaining artificial levels of growth and hide inflation. All of that has come roaring back since Congress decided to support Biden’s spend-it-till-there-ain’t-no-more philosophy.

Ummm, no. They are not “0bama’s people.” At least, not in the sense of him telling them what to do. They are the people who made him, and they figured they could do the same with another meat puppet. If folks are going to 0bama’s place to get his endorsement, it’s because they don’t understand, or they’re using him as a proxy for the true powers.
I hope that tiny house holds up. As long as the kids had enough competent supervision it should be ok. I also hope, though, it wasn’t just all trendy “tiny house” malarkey – like incinerator toilets and stuff. Real plumbing, real electrical, real construction would make for some truly resilient graduates.
