Jay-It remains a pleasure to read your posts, especially the miscellaneous ones like this.

“Pardon Me. I am NOT Done Committing Crimes”…was a David French headline that comes to mind…from last fall…about the January 6-7er’s (hat tip, again, to life imitating South Park and the billionaire boyz Clubbers from…Utah…who made their money the right way). So, speaking of Lady Astor, if she could have just made like a man and not asked the soon to be second biggest mass murderous dick tator a stupid question and shanked the known, known murderer him on the spot…what could have been…WHO would have been free…think of no more Cold War if Donald J Trump had just made like Samuel Norton and ordered a sniper to execute Tommy, I mean Putin, not under the guise of an escape attempt, but to end the pain and suffering, I mean war declared against innocent Ukrainians. Wouldn’t have shocked me, as doing the right thing rather than rolling out the bloody red carpet for a mass murderer and war criminal ON AMERICAN SOIL (oh, still thousands of abducted Ukrainian children still held in captivity Mr.President) is still proves the Jane’s Addiction L.P. Title right about these dayz…NOTHINGS SHOCKING…Pardon me, I am NOT done committing despair.

Might does make right in the mind of a monster, I mean mobster in the Bada Bing, I mean Oval Office. Where have all the Republican cowboys gone and when are the Senators of Rome, I mean the United States finally going to do the right thing and vote to remove The Don from The Bada Bing…oh, wait, we have a loyal opposition party led by a man the United States was the bad guy in the 80’s and an A.O.C.D. little woman bar tender with a cute face and skull full of mush.

I do hope and pray that the Secretary of Bore Wars gets his comeuppance…and the boy with a Nazi tatoo has it forcibly removed with a torch lighter…and the Christian in Claim Only (pronounced “sicko”) goes to cell, I mean…sooner, rather than later

The Art of the Steal has been a sham “Baked in the Cake” (hat tip Jonah Goldberg) since Day One, the morning after the 2020 election…If only Kamala Harris had had the chops to pledge her and Joe would resign their offices the night of the debate if The Don could “prove” the election was rigged…oh, and immediately be happy to swear. Donald J Trump back into office on a First Edition Trump Bible embroidered in classic fools gold …but you know why none of the “2,000 Mules” (world premiere at, where else…The Berghof…I mean Mar a Lago) have been arrested and rightly tried and executed is because…Don the Con always be conning and Americas Biggest Sore Loser just made it all up…and heaven for Betsy millions of my fellow knuckle dragging Americans with a right to suffrage ate that shitte up like a rabid animal.

I call him Mayor Zohran Mancommmie…because that is the kinda piece of leftists trash he is….just like most secular Islamists, I mean Mohammedans (One billion people East of Israel need to have a Nietzschein moment shoved down their collective buttheads throats on Al Jazerra…”God is Dead…I mean Allah is NOT God and The Koran is a plagirism of the Jooozes Bible and The Christians and Muhammad was a war profiteer”…speaking of corpses…). Sorry Jay, didn’t I already say Nothings Shocking, as freedom of religion and FROM religion are two sides of the same coin…In God We Trust

There will always be a Far Right …and far out Left…didn’t I just lament about one Zoo York Mayor…but I am far more interested in confronting the enemy from within, because a bunch of wannabe fascists goons in Europe are the least of the political worlds problems…because unlike Ill Duce and the little Austrian turd…The AfD will never have a monopoly on power and complete control of the media…let alone Germany now has an army that actually would shoot at the brown shirts, not go on the offensive with them

FOR GODS SAKE THIS WISE GUY CANNOT REMAIN IN POWER is the only way my fellow still standing Republicans should criticize The Don King Trump.

Thanks for taking my rant Onward and Upward, for now…and thanks to my one reader who ain’t got time for that editor. Gotta run on. Peace through superior mental firepower

I don't know about selling gross lemonade, but I am a sucker for Girl Scout Cookies. I don't eat them, but I love the idea of young people learning how to interact with adults, learn about commerce, and the joy of accomplishment that comes from working with others. Every year, the first young lady to approach me has made a sale.

Nice to know Mamdani has been unsuccessful in his campaign to eradicate the entrepreneurial spirit in New York City.

Since Jay brought up Churchill, I'll relay my favorite anecdote. Lady Nancy Astor and Winston infamously did not get along. Seated together at an important meeting, Winston turned to her and said "You're ugly!" She replied "You're drunk!" Winston said "At least I will be sober in the morning." I think what I enjoy most, and there are many things, about Jay's writing is he questions what many people wouldn't question. Quoting Nancy Astor's comment to Stalin showed she was fearless. Dictators murder people because they can. At some point, the people may rebel but in totalitarian countries like Russia, China, Iran, Cuba, and North Korea, the people most likely to resist are the first ones killed. When Trump told the people of Iran to fight back and he would be behind them, they trusted him. First mistake. Then they rioted further. Second mistake. Trump was AWOL but he declared he "had their backs." So few political leaders can be trusted to do what is right for the people. They are very skilled at doing what is right for themselves.

Santa, being somewhat overwhelmed this time of year, might appreciate your simply writing "The reason is", omitting the "that"; It doesn't change the meaning and shortens the sentence.

One of my pet peeves; the over use of "that," when the sentence reads perfectly well without it.

I was never taught in school to avoid it; reading weekly emails from Word Rake convinced me I had been using excess verbiage for years.
