I am thankful to you for letting me continue to work do what I love best, even though we are living in times that are not easy to laugh at.  I hope your day is warm, happy, and filled with shiny things.

From our friend Kary in Spain — a bumper sticker.

For all those who keep screaming, “Fake News!” at every report in the media, here’s your chance.  Run on down to your local grocery and buy ALL the Romaine lettuce you can put your hands on.  Oh, and don’t forget the Russian dressing.

From one of our customers.

I’m overly stunned for the Saudi Prince being giver a license to kill.  I can’t say it better than Representative-elect Iihan Omar of Minnesota.

Thelma thinks the Saudis put an evil spell on Trump the first time he came there.

That orb thing just doesn’t look like it’s brain-healthy.

Matthew Whitaker wins the highly competitive race for Turkey of this holiday season.

Whitaker was a former U.S. attorney with a modest legal practice in Iowa that paid him $79,000 that year, according to a later disclosure he filed for a failed Senate bid.

So how did he become the sole employee of a charity that paid him $1.2 million last year?

It appears that his job description was to beat up on liberals, including Hillary Clinton.  It’s kinda the exact opposite of what I do except for that $1.2 million thing.

Now here’s the deal. The group, which really ain’t a group being as how they have only one employee, first filed for tax-exempt status under another name and said they were going to study the effect of environmental regulations on businesses.  They did diddle squat for a year and only existed with a post office box. Then they changed their name and hired Whitaker.

Now here’s the giant deal: they do not have to disclose who gives them money.  Is it Adelson? Mercer? Gladys Knight and the Pips?

The devil himself?

We now have a political hack running the justice department.  You know, like every other department in the government.

Thanks to SGray for the heads up.

If you haven’t heard, the “caravan” coming to rape and pillage our country isn’t near as frightening as it was the week before election.  In fact, Trump is sending the troops home now.

The general overseeing the deployment told POLITICO on Monday that the first troops will start heading home in the coming days as some are already unneeded, having completed the missions for which they were sent.

They were sent to put up concertina  wire – a job far more cheaply done by the national guard. However, the wire is up so they can go home.  Mission Accomplished!

In contrast to the speed of the deployment in early November and the fanfare surrounding it, the withdrawal promises to be slower and quieter — but Buchanan expects it to be done before Christmas.

“That doesn’t mean it’s impossible,” he added. “But right now, this is a temporary mission, and we’re tasked to do it until the 15th of December.”
