During this holiday season, it is my hope that people will remember the true meaning of Christmas: the all important fourth quarter shopping in which retailers earn at least 19% of their annual sales. Baby Jesus would have wanted you to purchase as much as possible. God bless!

Because it's an inconvenient narrative

Toronto Star @thestar.com · 3d

Toronto’s set to hit a 50-year low in homicides. So why do many people think crime is getting worse?

According to a Liaison Strategies poll from October, which looked at 10 cities across Ontario, an average of 70 per cent of people thought that crime rates were going up.

Kite surfer

A kite surfer rides the ocean waves. The orange kite is a nice contrast to the blue skies. The ocean has bands of colours - dark blue at the horizon, light aqua closer to the beach and white waves crash on the silky tan beach.

Yellow paddle boat

Beach of silky tan sand with a bright yellow paddle boat parket at the edge. Waves breaking at the paddle boat. Blue ocean and a far horizon, no boats, a few wisps of clouds in a light blue sky. Everything bathed in afternoon sun.

She really has no idea how cute she is when she sticks her paw out like this.

If you missed Trump's disastrous speech last night, this is about as good a recap as you will read today:

"...President Donald Trump’s speech on Wednesday night had no grave significance. In fact, there didn’t seem to be much of a point at all,” writes senior correspondent Zack Beauchamp.

Massive defeat for Mike Johnson. Still has to clear the senate, but this is what Dems wanted all along. Johnson has essentially lost control of the gavel after Epstein and now this. Weakest speaker in history.
