Re: Item 26, just like Butler, God has stepped in with a polar vortex and the inauguration will be inside, I do not trust the Capital Police, SS, etc., to protect President Trump.
We are as one. A dozen drones, swooping in from above with petards on board is all it takes. And after all, the Deep State has already got its plausible deniability in place, hasn't it? Dozens of drones, flying over multiple states, including mine, and they "have no idea" where they're from. Right......
The saving grace is that Vance will take his oath first so if the worst nightmare scenario should happen, we will still have a President and he'll really be pissed off!
From the 2020 Steal to the Oval Office. The strangest, most damaging and exhausting, circuitous path from despair to hope.
What a long, strange trip it's been. Just two days to go. Two days. I feel like a resident of Dresden after the war. I don't know which brick to pick up first.
Great comment but Biden isn’t done yet. Am I the only one who still thinks he will pardon his brother and some of the Jan 6th committee members before Monday?
As to these "pardons"-- since they don't specify the crime that is being pardoned, and these people have not been indicted or convicted, isn't Biden actually giving "immunity", not "pardon"?
And the Constitution does not give the President the power to grant immunity. I really believe these "pardons" should go before the Supreme Court. They are in no way actual "pardons".
plus I expect FJB to also pardon Fauci. He's a spoiled evil little kid doing every bit of damage and destruction until the last minute of the last day (at least his handlers are since FJB isn't capable of thinking up all these things)
It’s Saturday and two of my favorite things came in the email today…Don’s week in review of the news you may or may not have known and This Week in Pictures from Powerline Blog.
But this Saturday is extra special. It’s the last Saturday of the malaise known as the Biden Presidency. I can’t remember feeling so giddy about a new President coming to power as this one. And it has a very happy feel to it . This time Trump not only means business he is set to get to business before sundown on Monday.
so...if three hundred million americans did nothing but read surber on saturdays they would become more (and accurately) informed than all the msm watching they could muster in a life time.
"Does that mean the Washington Post will call its reporters riveters?"
No. They shall be known henceforth as "storytellers," thus formally eliminating any reference to their former job as "reporters" and entirely eliminating any requirement that they "report" "news." Just makin' it up as they go along.
ITEM 19: Not the Bee reported Jeff Bezos has dropped his newspaper’s motto “Democracy Dies in Darkness” in favor of “Riveting Storytelling for All of America.”
And, apparently, they came up with after MONTHS of deliberations!!
Hahahah!
Sounds like the name for a kindergarten story hour!! God help us.
re: item two - “Friends star David Schwimmer served Rod Stewart with divorce papers.”
I believe it was Rod Stewart who said that if he ever decided to marry again, he was just going to go out and find a woman he didn't like and buy her a house. Twice-divorced, all I can say is Ditto.
re: ITEM 6: NBC tweeted, “Former first lady Michelle Obama will not be attending President-elect Trump's inauguration, her office says.”
Big Mike is letting her true self bleed through: another pissed-off you-know-what. I grew up with them by the dozens.
re: (Pornhub) would rather block subscribers in 18 states than put up age verification to keep kids from seeing porn.
It's all for show. I've run Nord VPN for several years. If I want to see Pornhub, it's as simple as projecting my IP address to a liberal state. Kids figured that out in seconds. Nobody's blocking anybody.
God. Do you remember Grizzard? And his dog Catfish. And "tar arns" (tire iron). Real, authentic southern humor. I was still in training when he died. Had a bad heart valve that had been replaced; it got infected when he was overseas - Russia, I think. Had he been here, he would have been OK, but he knew he was a goner; I still remember his last column where he said so. Thanks for the memory.
God did I blow that one. I tell people my memory is so good that I remember things that never happened. Case in point.
Here's from Grok:
Lewis Grizzard, a beloved Southern humorist and columnist, died on March 20, 1994, at the age of 47. His death was the result of complications following his fourth open-heart surgery at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta. Grizzard's health had been compromised by a congenital heart defect involving a bicuspid aortic valve, which necessitated multiple surgeries throughout his life.
ITEM 30: Chay Bowes tweeted, “As hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians die, the Dictator’s wife Olena Zelensky took a trip to St. Moritz for a skiing jaunt with the children.”
We need to send them billions more. I mean, do you know how much jet fuel it takes to fly from Kyiv to St. Moritz?
No. 25 defines the Biden administration's legacy. Pass a law, sign then not enforce it. Someone please explain this so I can be enlightened. In my ignorance this seems ludicrous, ridiculous, and stupid AND wasteful. Wait, it just dawned on me. It is the loophole for money laundering legally.
As usual, the sham ceasefire agreement with Israel was broken before it was approved by the Israeli cabinet. Yet somehow the world is supposed to celebrate the "moderate" terrorist position. I have more enthusiasm for the exposure of the imbecilic screamers holding the title of US Senator, the exposure of Biden's mental incompetence by kindergartners who work in the White House and put "The Equal Rights Amendment is the law of the Land" on Biden's Teleprompter, and watching Nancy Pelosi and Mike Obama throwing hissy fits over Trump's inauguration. The excitement among the media over these events tells you how bankrupt the media landscape has become.
Pam Bondi is 60. She must have come into possession of a Ring of Power 30 years ago, maybe more. Either that or there's a portrait of her in her attic that doesn't look anything like the woman we saw at the confirmation hearings.
All of these women are over 40 and all are beautiful. 60 isn't what it once was. 60 is the new 40. And interestingly, they all have long hair. It used to be that women stuck to short hair from 50 on. But it's totally different today. I and quite a few of my friends have all kept long hair too.
Aging itself isn't what it once was. So many people, women and men, are really just "coming into their own" at 60 and beginning to really flourish. Wisdom, confidence, savvy, and an increasing sense of purpose start to converge, and can turn "post-60", into a very productive period of life. The 70's are now the 50's. The 80's more like the 60's. Actually, just throw the whole set of stereotypes out the window and live freely and happily.
Another woman I admire is Kellyanne Conway. And Laura Ingraham. And of course, there's Lara and Ivanka Trump, and the gorgeous Melania.
It’s all about taking care of your health and especially your skin. Leftist women can’t seem to manage that - they all look like they’re stuck in the 1960’s when the “natural” look was in fashion. (Or they dash off for the next round of plastic surgery which just makes them look like they had plastic surgery.)
Thank you for saying this. I didn't want to be labeled sexist but my goodness these women are beautiful. And look at the hags who are questioning them. You tell me Hillary Clinton, or Melania Trump. No need to answer it was a rhetorical question.
As to Hillary, I think one's face has a way of ultimately showing one's character. Also, if a person is unhappy, (which tends to be our stereotype of a segment of liberal women) one would think that takes a toll on one's visage as well.
And one has to wonder about the sources of unhappiness. I suspect regret over having had an abortion is more of a psychological sorrow pressing on many liberal women's souls than is admitted. And other moral and lifestyle choices that ultimately led to regret. Plus, to the extent atheism was adopted, there's a loss of light and buoyancy.
I’m not a woman but I absolutely agree. In my case I’m 69 going on 14 lol 😂. More importantly I believe age is a state of mind. You only truly get old when you stop trying or when you tell yourself you’re old just because of the number you reached on your last birthday.
Actually, these fantastic women will put a stake into the heart of DEI. None of them are flaunting their sex as a qualification. They will just plain be competent.
Today I learned that The Jet Propulsion Laboratory in the Los Angeles hills has its own fire department, and it appears to be better prepared and managed than LAFD.

And the Constitution does not give the President the power to grant immunity. I really believe these "pardons" should go before the Supreme Court. They are in no way actual "pardons".
Yep. I think you're correct . This preemptive pardon business will not survive in court , it's unconstitutional .
TOG I’m signing you up for SCOTUS. 😂🍷🇺🇸👍
plus I expect FJB to also pardon Fauci. He's a spoiled evil little kid doing every bit of damage and destruction until the last minute of the last day (at least his handlers are since FJB isn't capable of thinking up all these things)
Politely speaking FJB is a scumbag.
Keep on Truckin’
Item 20: HIRONO makes Biden seem like Albert Einstein. Make Hawaii great again.
It's only claim to greatness so far is Magnum PI
And solidly Dem controlled. They are trying to mimic California and working on their wildfires to destroy what they cannot control too.
It’s ok if you like volcanoes
Wouldn't you think her constituency has had enough of being embarrassed by her ?

Or yarn spinners.
Yarns can be somewhat true but what they push is targeted, designer propaganda. Its on purpose. .
Weavers?
In the gentle days of my southern childhood if one was accused of ‘mmm, they’re telling a story’, it translated as ‘it’s a bald face lie’.
👍
I don’t know where to begin with this week’s news roundup, so I won’t. Poll question answers to all three are “all of the above!”
ITEM 19: Not the Bee reported Jeff Bezos has dropped his newspaper’s motto “Democracy Dies in Darkness” in favor of “Riveting Storytelling for All of America.”
And, apparently, they came up with after MONTHS of deliberations!!
Hahahah!
Sounds like the name for a kindergarten story hour!! God help us.
As long as it's not Drag Queen Storytelling.
With an emphasis on storytelling.
Item 11: this was my fave interaction during the hearings. She nailed that phony, hypocritical SOB to wall with no hope of recovery:
https://x.com/ResisttheMS/status/1880363539313074513
The whole thing has been great.
Hegseth, “I'm not a General Ma’am.
Bondi, “I can’t believe you’re asking these questions, You were censured by congress for questions like this.”
Noem’s interaction with Blumenthal. et al
I went through two bags of popcorn.
Thanks Suzie. A double whammy. DaNang Dick steps in it and Noem looks radiant and ready to kick butt.
Thanks for posting that. I missed it before and it’s a doozy.
Me too!

Lewis Gizzard beat Stewart to that Divorce quip. I miss Lewis.

Lewis was only 8 years older than me and his book “Elvis is Dead and I don’t Feel so good myself” made a big impression
Yea , what a great soul . Can't seem to find that clean wholesome humor anymore .

I've read on multiple sites that isn't true. The original post included the Russian word for satire.
Probably, but I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s “some truth” to it, a’la all the money laundering going on over there. Criminal!
Sorry for the repetition - don’t know what happened there?
The numbers don't jibe, the average houses lost were valued at above $30 million. Did some homeless guy torch the low rent district?
I just want to note that MLK was born on January 15, and the Constitution called dibs on January 20 in 1932.

Unhappy inside may contribute to UGLY visages on liberal women imho.

DITTO!!! MAGA-DITTOS!!! or is it DITTOES???
Good genes help a lot, too.

It is such a shame Trump is intimidated by intelligent women. Wiles, Bondi, Noem
Actually, these fantastic women will put a stake into the heart of DEI. None of them are flaunting their sex as a qualification. They will just plain be competent.
Yes they will!
Not sure of the point you are making. Bondi is beautiful!
She is, indeed, but she doesn't look 60 years old.
perhaps a ref to Dorian Gray?
Today I learned that The Jet Propulsion Laboratory in the Los Angeles hills has its own fire department, and it appears to be better prepared and managed than LAFD.
I guess lots of stuff catches on fire there??
It wasn’t their first rodeo
I think most Federal facilities have their own Fire Departments
