Haha. Once Don went missing for a couple days due to his lawn service cutting a cable or something. It was so unsettling I joined Twitter to see if he was posting there. He was. Whew.

At last, a good reason for joining Twitter! Thanks!

As far as the government employees threatening to quit because of their incoming new bosses, it’s kinda nice to see the garbage taking out its own trash.

11/16/24: Which reminds me. The crew digging up the pyramids couldn't find my old resume (last changed in 1994), buried somewhere in my house. That's one terror I'll never have to face again: having to go on another job interview (generally an insulting, degrading experience).

Even when Don has a bad day, he still hits a home run. This round-up of highlights was still great and I smiled all the way through it.

Item 6. Loved the quip about wondering if any of Lizzy Warren's brothers made chief. Classic Surber.

Item 13 regarding the courageous San Jose State coach being fired for resisting a bro on the girls volleyball team is one more brick in the wall against trannies playing girls' sports and using the same lockerrooms. This needs to happen everywhere and force the idiots who control girls' sports to wise up and do the right thing.

Item 22 regarding the Muslim terrorist professor in Canada who killed 4 in a Paris synagogue bombing. That may sound incredible, but we have our own terrorist turned professor, Obama bro, Bill Ayers.

Item 23 regarding The View overhaul. This is a futile task. Trying to have a rationale discussion with Whoopi, Joy, and Sunny is impossible. Better just cancel the show and replace it with reruns of The Gong Show.

Items 24 and 25 regarding self-deportation in government agencies made me smile. PDJT is the master at trolling. His tactic of placing individuals in departments where they have a righteous axe to grind has the Deep State gnomes shaking in their boots and looking to jump ship before Jan 20th.

Re Item 35 and backstabbing pseudo-Christian Mike Pence.

Pence thought if he sold out Trump for 30 pieces of silver, following the 2020 election, the Republican Party and the conservative movement would come running to telegenic him to rebuild conservatism in a post-Trump era as the truest true conservative this side of Bill Kristol and the Bulwark. Pence is still waiting for that call. And he's getting more and more bitter. How soon 'til he pulls a Liz Cheney and criticizes Trump and the current and future Republican leadership of being too extreme on abortion? Pride, Mr. Pence, is the deadliest of the 7 Deadly Sins.

11/16/24: What a world we live in. Pence is a bigger whore than Oprah Winfrey.

Oprah at least was well-paid. That makes her a high-priced call girl. Pence apparently is doing this for free. Which makes him a cheap slut.

#28. As I recall, you were an early supporter of Palin and heralded her accomplishments. You gave her fair treatment and were just in your analysis..

With horizontal Harris you have been far kinder than she deserves. Then again, you probably would have gotten a visit from the SS if you'd been blunt.

Hang on, someone's knocking on the door.

Sarah Palin was a harbinger for the coming of Trump. The ground beneath RINO’s was just beginning to shake back then. Two terms for Obama sealed the deal, and opened the way for Trump.

Palin was great...but didn't fit the media mold.

And she was stabbed in the back by McCain’s campaign. Imo, I think McCain was jealous of her popularity.

And then hounded out of office by the earliest version of lawfare. Maybe Vance can tag her for the VP spot in 28.

#29. Gaza isn't in the news as much with Hezbollah getting more coverage, but last week I saw a report that 1,200 Hamas terrorists got disappointed by the lack of virgins and almost 12,000 decided they didn't want to find out. AKA captured. From my perspective, nearly every resident in the strip supported hamas until it became evident that they were going to be eliminated from the planet.

Terrorists ain't easy to love and impossible to hold

They'd rather die blow'in stuff up than live and grow old.

Bomb vests rockets and old mortar shells

And every night ya wonder if next day they'll get blown ta hell .

Momma's don't let your babies grow up to be terrorists. Don't let them build bomb vests or rob supply trucks. Make them be productive and fathers and such.

Mamma's don't let your babies grow up to be terrorists

Cause they'll die far from home, blow up alone and kill people whom the LORD loves.
