I can't believe how silly everything is, and then I realize the implications, and silly is such an understatement.

In 1955, a misprinted ad sent kids calling a top-secret military hotline instead of Santa.

What started as a Cold War mistake by a stressed colonel became a 70-year tradition blending holiday magic with high-tech military PR.

This DOJ record alleges Trump paid for [redacted] and was present for the murder of a baby and its disposal in Lake Michigan.

I have to say, I wasn't expecting baby murder and disposal to pop up in the Epstein docs, let alone days before Christmas.

When you really consider "Trump Class" battleships, it actually makes a certain amount of sense: the concept is old, they're obsolete, and it's almost certainly going to cost way more than anticipated.

100 years ago, the Detroit River wasn't a peaceful border. It was the "Windsor-Detroit Funnel"—a frozen highway for "Whiskey Six" muscle cars running booze to prohibition America. 🥃❄️

Epstein, month he killed himself, to serial child molester Larry Nasser:

"Our president also shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to "grab snatch", whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system.

Life is unfair."

"Globalize the intifada" isn't just a slogan. It's also a target on Jewish journalists.

The real rot? The silence from media orgs that scream about politicians' criticisms, but this? They're wearing blindfolds in darkrooms, & we see the cowardice.

Night 8, Happy Hanukkah!
December 21, 2025 at 11:09 PM
Being Jewish in 2025 means Hanukkah with armed police on standby, waking up to news of an Australian massacre, & going to bed learning of Toronto terror plots.

The stats are grim & threats real, & politicians still argue over the definition of "boiling".

Tonight's Hanukkah celebration was the medicine I needed on a day that felt like an open wound.

Gathering with community to honour faith & live the essence of Hanukkah—standing against forces that try to dim our light & connection with God.
