So THAT Is Why Hic(!)seth Wants To Courtmartial Sen. Kelly!
Here's the unlawful orders that the six Democrats were warning about, right here: "Hegseth order on first Caribbean boat strike, officials say: Kill them all" "As two men clung to a stricken, burning ship targeted by SEAL Team 6, the Joint Special Operations commander followed the defense secretary’s order to leave no survivors." "The longer the U.S. surveillance aircraft followed the boat, the more confident intelligence analysts watching from command centers became that the 11 people on board were ferrying drugs."

If you've ever known a narcissist, one common trait with them is that they ruin every holiday and special event. Every single time. And it's all about them. Case in point: Donald Trump's late-night post.

He's unfit for office. Always has been.

Books for Cooks (And Gardeners) 2025
I’m determined this year to get this list out on Buy Nothing Day! Remember: Indie and used bookstores today (and everyday). If you liked Aleksandra Crapanzano’s French cake book “Gateau" from a few years back, chances are you are going to love “Chocolat.” It’s not a single subject, it is a single ingredient book, so there are all kinds of things to learn and make.

Thanksgiving Greetings From The 4th Reich
Hair Füror knows he’s sliding to the bottom in the polls and the best way to get Possum Hollar back on his side is to go full Horst Wessel. And as for calling Gov. Tim Walz (that slur), well, every accusation is a confession. This next one is seriously Nazi shit: This whole thing is racist, of course, but pay attention to the threat of denaturalization.

Buy Nothing Day! (But Shop Local)
OK, we all know the drill: avoid —to the degree that you can— buying anything from the Big Stores. I know everyone’s situation is different, everyone’s hometown is different, but shopping local keeps your money in your community and is a multiplier for having a thriving local economy. The Bezos and the Waltons don’t need your support, but your friends and neighbors do.

Looks like Junior Mint’s (Former) Emotional Support Cougar stopped the Merde-a-Lardo plastic surgery when Jr. dumped her and Donnie reassigned as far away as he could, but her style remains the same.

I think this has been done before, probably in a French Bedroom Farce? Anyway, it’s a good premise for a sketch if not a bit cringe.

And Now A Word From The 4th Reich
Grifters Gotta Grift Secretary of Cosplay Kristi Norm decided to record a PSA that would make propagandist Joseph Goebbels blush: These things only cost the US taxpayer about $220M Ameros, and as ProPublica says, "The company is run by the husband of Noem’s chief DHS spokesperson and has personal and business ties to Noem and her aides." ...so totally in-line with the standards and ethics of the 4th Reich, as long as you give Hair Füror top billing, if not some cream right off the top.
