Obummer was more dangerous. And he, his people, or both were (are) pulling Bidementia's strings. Although not all of the evidence of Bidementia's damage is clear, I consider Carter to have been worse. People during Carter's term had NO HOPE -- ZERO. The inflation, gas shortages, kowtowing to international Muslims, et al. were nonstop and intolerable. Reagan's potential as an agent of salvation wasn't clear until well into the campaign season, and even then there were doubts about him. During Bidementia's term, we have always had INTENSE hope that Trump would return to save us. For this reason alone, I continue to maintain that Carter was worse than Bidementia.

This column, by a great presidential historian, needs readin'. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It's Too Bad That Jimmy Carter Didn't Live Even Longer The curtain has finally come down on one of the longest acts in American history: after lingering in hospice care for nearly two years, Jimmy Carter is dead at the age of 100. Now, as we all learned in Latin class, de mortuis nisi bonum, that is, only say good things about the dead, and by most accounts, Jimmy Carter was a decent fellow who tried to do the right thing by his lights. There is no Latin maxim, however, about not speaking ill of a dead president's time in the Oval Office, and on that score, a great deal can and should be said about Jimmy Carter. Although Carter was the longest-lived president of the United States ever, it is a shame that he didn't live even longer. The second Trump administration promises to put an end to the long, slow decline of the United States and the now well-established habit of betraying our allies that Carter did so much to initiate, and it's too bad that Carter won't be around to witness America’s resurgence — if, that is, the late president's friends and ideological kin don't manage to block any such rebound. Back in 1978, when America was in the midst of Carter's weak and sanctimonious presidency, [...] https://pjmedia.com/robert-spencer/2024/12/29/its-too-bad-that-jimmy-carter-didnt-live-even-longer-n4935516

His mom got angry and asked him, "Did you see anything that you were not supposed to see?" The boy said, "Yeah -- I saw Dad!" MY WIFE: Our new neighbors are so in love!

New Rasmussen Poll Has More Bad News for Liz Cheney About FBI Investigation As we previously reported, a recent interim report from the Committee on House Administration's Subcommittee on Oversight found that the events of Jan. 6 were preventable. It also dropped some bombshell allegations against former Republican Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney including that she may have tampered with a witness, Cassidy Hutchinson. The report said "numerous federal laws were likely broken" by Cheney, the Vice Chair of the Jan. 6 Committee and recommended that they be investigated by the FBI. Cheney did not handle the report well, tossing a bit of a fit. She went on and on about the pages of the report: [...] [...] Now there's more bad news for Cheney. A majority of voters are in favor of an investigation into her actions on the Jan. 6 Committee.

Dave Barry recaps the year! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dave Barry Year in Review: 2024 was an exciting year, and by 'exciting,' we mean 'stupid' How stupid was 2024? Let's start with the art world, which over the centuries has given humanity so many beautiful, timeless masterpieces. This year, the biggest story involving art, by far, was that a cryptocurrency businessman paid $6.2 million at a Sotheby's auction for . . . A banana. Which he ate. "It's much better than other bananas," he told the press. And that was not the stupidest thing that happened in 2024. It might not even crack the top ten. Because this was also a year when: [...] https://www.miamiherald.com/living/liv-columns-blogs/dave-barry/article296995874.html

"Thrilling" Saturday non-ES report, see man: The JC texted us at 1 a.m. to say that she'd just finished helping with family wedding prep, incorrigible JC man. We awoke feeling not as lousy as usual, be thankful for little crumbs of happiness we man man. We had a nice first-date event to invite the near-rubia (NR) to, si man. She objected to parts of the plan, object NR man and accommodate we man. She took nearly 2 hours to respond to the revisions and suggest others, tardy NR man. We finally gave up waiting and proceeded with our day, already nearly 1 p.m. man. We had not consumed toucans or onecan of anything, waiting on NR to confirm or change again man. After ES-ing, we went to Aldi, nothing there that we'd come for man. It was now 2 hours + half an hour since our last plea for confirmation, si man. We gauged our headache and off-urinated status, both off the charts man. We texted the NR with "Changed mind, si man. It's off, si man. Sorry, si man. All the best, si man," si man. The NR immediately texted, "I was willing to make the drive and meet you there, si man!" si man. We should have told her off about responding responsibly when people are waiting, man. But the NR wasn't worth the effort, no man. We delivered a couple of Aldi items to Mama T-B., deliver we man to senior she man man. Mama T-B. observed that we have lost too much weight, shadow of our former self we man man. Went to Subway for breakfast/lunch/din-din WUOC & gift card, financially savvy we man. Returned to casa to service demanding miu, Feed Me Daddy miu man. Devoured the Subway, voraciously ingest we man. Tried to siesta with cough and splitting headache, complete failure man. Finally gave up, just forget it man. Took cough syrup with acetaminophen in it, ingest we man. Slighter headache remains, almost tolerable man. We are thoroughly enjoying our traumatic Saturday night here at the casa, oh whoopee man. Waiting for the LR (Legitimate Rubia) or the JC to contact us, need potential sympathy we man man. And that was/is our thoroughly thrilling Saturday, report we man.

The world's longest Boeing 747 passenger flight will end as airlines phase out the iconic jet. See where it still flies. Korean Air is among the last airlines still flying the iconic Boeing 747, but it's scheduled to pull the jet from a particularly long US route in 2025. Route scheduling data from the aviation analytics company Cirium shows Korean Air plans to stop flying the 747 on its 7,153-mile route from Seoul to Atlanta — the longest 747 passenger flight by distance — in March. It will replace the 747 with the smaller Boeing 777-300ER, which has fewer seats on board. [...] https://www.yahoo.com/news/worlds-longest-boeing-747-passenger-103001419.html

Surgeon General: 'You Are Supposed To Be Able To Button Your Pants' WASHINGTON—Noting that the fasteners commonly found on most trousers were not merely ornamental, Surgeon General Vivek Murthy issued an advisory to the American public Thursday in which he clarified that people were supposed to be able to button their pants. "It should be a smooth effortless action that involves no protracted struggle to connect the two sides of the garment's waist," said Murthy, who added that buttoning your pants only to moments later have a seam rip or a button fly off still fell short of the government's recommended clothing standards.

Dad Tells Kids About Good Old Days When You Didn't Need To Download Firmware Updates For Toy Trains MILWAUKEE, WI — Local dad Greg Evans took a trip down memory lane earlier this morning when he had to tell his kids about the good old days when you didn't have to download firmware updates for toy trains. Evans' reminiscences were initially sparked when his son Chris came to ask him how to update the firmware on the train set that he'd gotten for Christmas, as it was already out of date.

Here are fascinating insights into the workings and value of podcasts in political races. Comments? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Podcast Appearances Facilitate Winning Political Campaigns – Understanding the Podcast Marketplace If 2024 did nothing else, it showed candidates and others involved in politics that podcasts can be important. It was his push for his dad to appear on podcasts like Joe Rogan's that 18-year-old Barron Trump may have played a decisive role in his father's amazingly successful campaign. Kudos, too, to The Donald for listening to his son. Arguably, these two men – generations apart – demonstrated how podcasts can be decisive in political campaigns. This was not always so, of course, but it is now, and will be for at least the next two or three presidential election cycles.
