Saturday evening, Nov. 22nd, 2025, I had to make the painful decision to put Trenta to sleep. The night before I paused funding. I took a long while to update you all as I needed some time, and also wanted to get through Thanksgiving.

I thank you all. You made

BREAKING

Zohran Mamdani has been sworn-in as the 112th Mayor of New York City.
January 1, 2026 at 5:13 AM
It's driving me to distraction that news outlets, including even the BBC, are describing Mamdani's midnight swearing in in the station as taking place in an "...abandoned subway station."

You mean the nonetheless HISTORIC Old City Hall subway station that's meticulously preserved?

He says date rape is a made up injury that feminists used to gain world domination but when he was asked to lecture wearing a mask that was a serious and real injury.
Just another gem from Compact Mag. And, to be clear, he didn’t even have the courage or principle to leave Harvard before his contract expired. That’s why all his grievances are in the past tense.

Not a normal Christmas tree in Kramatorsk, but nothing is normal in the Ukraine city very close to the Donetsk frontline.

The tree is dedicated to those who died evacuating people in the region. A poignant reminder there will be many empty chairs for the New Year meal.

The DOJ identified at least 10 co-conspirators who worked with Epstein and Maxwell. It’s obvious to anyone with two eyes that Epstein and Maxwell were engaged in organized crime, yet NO ONE ELSE involved in Epstein’s sex trafficking ring has faced criminal charges. Why?

Wasn't able to finish up what needs doing this year, but I plan to have it all done by March hopefully.

Make no mistake, this is how media normalizes white supremacy & extremism. We must reject it.
