In middle school, I had a short solo in a Christmas program. I panicked about it for weeks. I don't know how, but somehow I managed to croak out "🎶Have a holly jolly Christmas🎵" dressed as an unhoused person.

Mother Gargle hangs around every Christmas. Why should this year be any different? Gladys is Mother Gargle's only daughter and it shows.
I'm not judging, but I think there might be a little al-key-hall in that mug.

Kansas gets a mention in James Buchanan's Trump History
![Photo of James Buchanan, Abraham Lincoln, and Andrew Johnson portraits in the White House's Wall of Presidents with plaques written by Trump. Buchanan's reads: "James 'Old Buck' Buchanan was a lawyer, diplomat, and career politician, who served as a member of Congress, U.S. Senator, and Secretary of State, playing a key role in several events including the Mexican-American War, and Oregon Boundary Settlement. As President, he contended with the Panic of 1857, a financial crisis that greatly affected the entire Nation. At the same time, the National divide over slavery was worsening. Buchanan supported both Kansas becoming a slave State, and the Supreme Court's pro-slavery Dred Scott decision, which exacerbated [illegible]. By the time he left office, seven States had seceded from the Union."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:w33kky5h2zepbv3xp6en5ohp/bafkreihixsdmaxkysupeguebl7mzzxxu7wgqbtkripf4gkyz4upyb4hhva@jpeg)
