MERRY CHRISTMAS:

JOHN LUCAS: My Christmas Story — How I Saved Bob Hope’s Life on Christmas Day.

SPECIAL CHRISTMAS MORNING OPEN THREAD: What was under your tree?

There will be another open thread at the usual time.

MERRY CHRISTMAS:

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!

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.”

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

TOO LATE FOR HARVESTIN’, TOO EARLY FOR PLANTIN’, JUST RIGHT FOR DRINKIN’. Some call it Twixmas. Others call it Feral Week. The period between Christmas and New Year’s Eve is the perfect time to do nothing — and experts say we need it.

Well, for once I’m going to listen to the experts. Oh, there will still be blogging, of course. Can’t go crazy with this stuff.

HMM. I WORRY THIS WOULD BE LIKE WHEN BOEING MERGED WITH MCDONNELL DOUGLAS: Hondissan? Nissonda? Two of Japan’s Largest Automakers Mull Merger.

REVIEW: Ruger SFAR, Small Frame AR-10.

#JOURNALISM: LOL, John Harwood.

Harwood, who touted the laughable Steele dossier, now wonders why a lot of Republicans have no faith in the establishment media https://t.co/FVjwMh3YN0 pic.twitter.com/43d8JnRlbr

NYC’S CULTURE OF (MASSIVE) CORRUPTION:

As NYC subways continue to get taken over by the mentally ill, it’s important to remember that ⁦@BilldeBlasio⁩ & ⁦@Chirlane⁩ could not account for $850M in taxpayer money that was supposed to be used for a mental health initiative. pic.twitter.com/noiEO8gdkJ

HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE UPDATE: STUDY: Santa movies promote “capitalism, white supremacy, and heteropatriarchy:” Mr. Rosu’s essay on Santa’s whiteness was hand-picked out of 4,000 student essays to win.

NEWS YOU CAN USE: Vaginas absolutely need sex or they’ll waste away: study. This isn’t a new study, but I’m sharing it anyway. You know, better safe than sorry.

8+ YEARS TOO LATE, BUT . . . NYT Never Trumper Repents. “Brett Stephens, one of the Never Trump Republicans at the New York Times, has had an epiphany: Donald Trump is a person, not a demon, and his supporters are Americans who are tired of the transnational elite’s destruction of America.”

Do tell. They really hire them for their perspicacity over there, don’t they?
