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! Let’s get the champagne flowing, dears, as this has been yet another week for the books. What to do about a goodly chunk of ostensible Americans who have gone all Soviet about Rule of Law cuz OrangeManBad? Or the Oval office resident who refuses to do anything about the invaders coming over our southern border? Did you see the video at that link? I’ve got some shots of good old Kentucky Bourbon here to accompany your viewing. Brunch is only awaiting our plates and appetites, friends. It is the start of Holy Week and we should hold fast to that. Let’s get to it. Lift up our hearts … L’Chaim!

The Support for the return of Hitler and Nazis

Don’t be shocked. Would pollsters have found anything different than this if they had been stationed in Germany during WWII?

A majority of Palestinians want Hamas to retain control of the Gaza Strip after its war against Israel ends, according to a new poll.

Not only does Hamas need to be completely destroyed, Gaza must be de-Nazified. Note to Hamas/Gazan apologists: Don’t start a war and then expect to play oppressed victim when you’re losing.

PS: This “picture of the year” is evidence that the ranks of “photo journalists” need to be de-Nazified, stat.

Blast Planet Fitness outta orbit

Nothing says “complicit in sexual harassment” like punishing women who don’t agree to seeing penises in their changing rooms.

Wow. Planet Fitness is now quadrupling down on defending men in women’s locker rooms.

They reportedly assigned a staffer specifically to accompany this man so he can safely and comfortably enter the women’s locker room.

They’re putting a mentally ill man’s delusions before… pic.twitter.com/gBwYsG2UiB

Funny how consent to sexual conduct goes right out the window for the Left when the guy in the trenchcoat exposing his penis is also wearing lipstick.

Act II: Planet Fitness is also into sexual grooming of kids. Ewwww.

Museum tells visitors that pheasants change sex

Oh look, another Church of Our Them of Queering has replaced the British Hasting Museum and Art Gallery, even to the handing out of religious tracts.

Pheasants are “queer”, according to an LGBT history guide for museum visitors.

The guide states that the birds are “queer” because they “change their sex from female to male”, despite the claim being scientifically unfounded. (snip)

The guide makes further claims, including that “Eighteenth-century colonialism is responsible for the destruction of many ancient gender systems in countries around the world”.

As an example, the guide points to a suit of samurai armour, and explains that in Japan there was a “third gender” known as a “wakashu” before “Western influences began the inevitable dismantling of these traditions and beliefs”.

What kind of steaming equine excrement is being foisted on museum visitors with that flyer? No, pheasants do NOT change sex regardless of a change of plumage in an infertile female. Such changes are due to hormonal changes, not sex. Would that mean post-menopausal women who wear a suit, or even sprout whiskers, have changed into a man?

Then there’s the “queering” of Edo era Japanese history. The word “wakashu” doesn’t describe a third sex anymore than the word “teenager” does. It is a description of adolescence where a boy was eligible take on formal education or apprenticeship. It certainly wasn’t exclusive to the training of Samurai. And pederasty of that era resembles ancient Greece in that adolescent boys were considered acceptable sex partners of older men (as long as the boy was the receiver). But to point out Greece in this instance might undermine the “Evil Western Influences stamped out this 3rd *gender*” schtick.

In Japan, as was in Greece, no adolescent boy had the agency to say ‘no’. This was about the eroticism of power hierarchies, not 3rd sexes. And it should be noted, too, that such pederasty was not as wide spread or acceptable as some “researchers” would have you believe.

This kind of ‘to a hammer everything is a nail’ Queer Lens has as much a connection to reality as finding the face of Jesus on a potato chip does to Revelations.

Note to Hellenized Jews. You can’t “outreach” to people who want you dead

I’m sadly unsurprised that this happened in Los Angeles.

Hamakom synagogue, a conservative congregation of around 900 families located in an upscale Los Angeles suburb, says it was trying to ease tensions between the Jewish and Muslim communities when it decided to lease its space this month to the Islamic Society of West Valley, a neighboring Muslim faith group that needed space to hold services during the holy month of Ramadan.

Hamakom entered into an agreement with the Islamic Society that allowed it to take over the synagogue’s main campus, pushing Jewish members onto a smaller satellite branch. In anticipation of the lease’s commencement, the synagogue’s leadership covered up pictures of Israeli hostages captured by Hamas during its Oct. 7 attack on Israel, according to photographs reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon, sparking anger among Jewish congregants.

Soon after the Islamic Society began using Hamakom’s facility, it hosted anti-Israel activist Hussam Ayloush, who said last year that Israel did not have a right to defend itself following the Oct. 7 attack and compared Israel to Nazi Germany. The invite led many Jewish members to threaten to resign from the shul, according to internal emails viewed by the Free Beacon, and prompted Hamakom to sever its rental contract with the Islamic Society within days of inking it.

How could these people ignore the horrible lesson learned by the Liberal, peacenik Jews of southern Israel on 10/7? No matter how much they helped Gazan Arabs – employment, transportation for medical care, etc, those same Arabs spent their time gathering intelligence for Hamas and facilitated the barbarity of 10/7.

When someone wants you dead, don’t tip your head, wave you hands and say “Oh, they don’t really mean that.” Yes, dears, they do.

Pay for Play in Biden’s “Justice” System

And let’s recall, last June, how weasel-faced AG Garland took umbrage at having the DOJ’s integrity besmirched.

Garland: "Some have chose to attack the integrity of the Justice Department by claiming that we do not treat cases alike. This constitutes an attack on an institution that is essential to American democracy… Nothing could be further from the truth." pic.twitter.com/fHkHPUiNyn

Your Sunday smile

I will never stop highlighting those people, especially the young, who answer the call …

Five students from the University of Georgia are being honored as heroes after they took action during a dramatic turn of events last weekend.

Eleanor Cart, Kaitlyn Iannace, Clarke Jones, Jane McArdle and Molly McCollum were traveling from Athens to Savannah for a weekend of St. Patrick’s Day festivities.

After turning along Murray Hill Road in Burke County, the group of Kappa Alpha Theta sorority sisters approached the Brier Creek bridge — and saw something odd.

They saw a dust cloud below the bridge with a flash of white light, McCollum told Fox 5 Atlanta.

The women quickly pulled over and saw a minivan submerged in the water. Did they drive on? Stand around while waiting for emergency responders? Nope. Like a well-oiled team they jumped into action.

“We see the mom pop out of the car… We’re just tag-teaming, trying to get the children out of the water,” McCollum told Fox 5 Atlanta.

The college student said that along with the mother, there were two children in the back of the car — one about 4 years old.

The child was not breathing when pulled out by the women. One of them immediately started CPR and, blessedly, the child responded.

These women deserve all honors for their bravery and quick thinking. Brava, ladies!

Oh, dear. We’ve run out of time again. Sunday mornings go so fast, but the afternoon? Take the time to unplug and enjoy. Spring is poised to bust out all over and that wonderful pantheon of tender green leaves, flowering cherry trees, bright daffodils and new life is a promise that good stuff is just around the corner. See you next Sunday (Easter!). Cheers!
