FLASHBACK: Some Christmas Thoughts From One Year Ago.

I like this piece, but things definitely feel more positive today. Perhaps,as I predicted, we did successfully muddle through somehow. Anyway, let your hearts be light, and hang a shining star upon the highest bough! And have yourself a merry little Christmas, now.

MERRY CHRISTMAS IF YOU DIDN’T SEE THIS YESTERDAY:  The Bork Of Christmas.

HAVE YOURSELF A MERRY LITTLE CHRISTMAS:

POISON IVY L;EAGUE EDUCATION:  Princeton to offer classes on erotic dance, sex work, and ‘queer spaces’.

SHE’S JUST INTOLERANT (OF INTOLERABLE CONDITIONS):  In-N-Out heiress says she closed Oakland location because it was ‘absolutely dangerous’.

QUITE A DIFFERENCE FROM THE PRIOR ADMIN:  Tom Homan Shreds Kathy Hochul Over ‘Tone-Deaf’ Post After Illegal Immigrant Sets Subway Passenger on Fire.

OKAY, THERE MIGHT BE SOME ENEMIES TO HIS LEFT:  Bill Maher to the Left: ‘F**k Off, You F**ks’.

MERRY CHRISTMAS:  Repost: The real meaning of the Apollo 8 Earthrise image.

OUCH:  Single women are doing photoshoots with fake baby bumps — and the reason is wild.

IT’S AMERICA. PEOPLE DO THINGS:  By 6PM tonight, the non-profit Emergency RV will have delivered its 75th RV to victims of Helene in #WNC. This is the exact same number of temporary housing units FEMA has delivered… …a federal agency with a budget of over $30 billion dollars.

AND IF YOU DON’T HAVE TWITEX GO: Here.

HE IS TOTALLY BACK:  I’m BACK. I’m not as back as the Trump folks; they’re SO back. I’m just back.

AND IF YOU’RE NOT ON TWITTEX:  Go here.

FOR CHRISTMAS EVE:  A Memory – Christmas in the Barracks, 1978.

A TOTAL LACK OF CONTACT WITH REALITY:  Kamala Harris’s Attitude Explains Why Dems Are Flailing Now.

AKA ROLL LEFT AND DIE:  Disney: Politics Is Bad For Business.

STUFF WORTH DOING:  NASA’s Parker Solar Probe to Make Closest Approach to the Sun on Christmas Eve.

AS HE SHOULD BE:  Poll Analyst Nate Silver Gets Flamed on Twitter/X for Downplaying New York City Crime.

STRONG BRAINWASHING ON CAMPUS:  Younger Generation Support for Luigi Mangione Reflects “A Strong Anti-Capitalist Trend on Campuses”.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

HAVE YOURSELF A MERRY LITTLE CHRISTMAS:

ROGER KIMBALL: Musk Derangement Syndrome: Elon Musk’s push for transparency and fiscal responsibility has reshaped the debate over government spending, exposing inefficiency and forcing Congress to answer to the public.

Yes, that’s right, both Rogers — Kimball and Simon — are talking about Musk Derangement syndrome. Surely a sign that it’s a big thing.

OPEN THREAD: Merry Christmas Eve.

ROGER SIMON ON MUSK DERANGEMENT SYNDROME: “On one level, it’s pretty laughable–a bunch of mediocre congresscritters who haven’t done much in their lives but get elected complaining that someone with an IQ triple theirs who runs upwards of eight businesses, all of them pioneering, is turning into a co-president.”

A CHRISTMAS EVE TAI– ER…. TALE: The Bork Of Christmas.

HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS EVE:

THE ISSUE IS NEVER THE ISSUE, THE ISSUE IS ALWAYS THE REVOLUTION. And the purpose of the revolution is to make low-value midwits feel important.

Last year it was Gaza. This year it’s Luigi. Before it was BLM. Next year, who knows? But every year, it’s the same hollering malcontents, using the same tactics, getting the same kid glove treatment in the press. https://t.co/6Sgti5wVUO
