You call this a Christmas? I could sh*t a better Christmas than this one! By the way, I've got a present for you.

□ [“‘We Are Seeing the Complete Collapsing of the Democratic Party’"]

This is from a California state senator and an advisor to Bill Clinton.  Both of them are trying to warn Democrats of the problems they're facing.  As the saying goes, the first step to fixing a problem is admitting that you have one, and with the exception of individuals like this, the party is a long ways away from even acknowledging they have one.

I just glimpsed at democraticunderground and someone is whining about articles to right-wing websites being posted.  Nobody really had a coherent response other than not knowing what the poster was referring to, but the reason I looked at this thread was to see if anybody gave the sensible response, 'because they could be right.'  Nope, none of that, they'd probably rather post two-month old articles about Harris having a landslide victory as long as it comes from a left-wing site.

The party is one of our nation's oldest institutions.  It's closing in on its 200th anniversary, and it's already passed that if you count the predecessor parties going back to Thomas Jefferson.  There's opposing everything they stand for, but there's also the fact that they've managed to exist this long and this is what they're doing to themselves.  To an extent, it's entertaining to watch, but there's a limit where you have to go 'please stop.'

□ [“Princeton’s Gender and Sexuality Studies Offers Classes on ‘Erotic Dance,’ Pornography, and Prostitution"]

This factory for *woke* propaganda needs to be taken down.  How much money are they charging people to learn about whores?  The kids have to take out loans they'll be paying for the rest of their lives for this crap.  I'm surprised they didn't include global warming in the course description.

How many trades are there which require actual real instruction before you can even get started?  Medicine is the only obvious one I can think of.  There's being a mechanic of some sort, or plumber, where investment in school is required, but it's also fairly easy to pay off because everybody needs your work after you graduate.  There are jobs which require more education, but beyond that, I'd be willing to shut all universities down at this point.  The few parts that actually teach valuable skills will find a way to survive, the rest are worthless.

And this is Princeton, one of the most elite schools of all time.  They set the example and they're being paid to study porn.  This is just an excuse to profit off of ignorance and give the kids enough time to grow *woke* before they have to deal with reality.  I don't know how this sort of virus can be stopped but we need to do something about it.

□ [“Tom Homan Rips NY Governor Over NYC Subway Murder by Illegal Alien: ‘Shame on You’"]

This one happened several days ago, it just stuck out as so horrific that I didn't know what to say.  A lady was asleep on the subway - probably not the smartest room - so this Guatemalan set her on fire and just sat down to watch her burn to death.  Nobody got involved, nobody did anything.  Apparently he was finally arrested a day or so ago.

Of course he'd been kicked out of the country in 2018 and of course he came back because Democrats want this.  Almost literally while this was happening, the New York governor was giving a speech about how safe the subways were.  That's what "sanctuary cities" are for, right?  Far as I know, she has completely ignored this murder of a fellow New Yorker.

I don't know if the Border Czar is capable of just pushing troops through the whole country building by building, block by block to see who is actually allowed to be here, but I can't think of any other options.  It's just so hard to believe that we've reached a point where half the voters support an invasion like this and don't think anything could go wrong.

□ [“Watchdog Group Vows to Release Audio Recording of Biden’s Conversation w/ His Ghostwriter"]

Remember several months ago when it was a big deal that Joe Biden gave away classified information to the ghostwriter of his autobiography?  It happened in 2017 when Biden had left the government but kept all the classified documents he'd grabbed over the years and was showing them off to this guy.  Years later, they started being investigated for this and the ghostwriter immediately burned all the evidence he had on what classified documents he'd been shown.  Biden was interviewed about this in early 2024 and was probably more mentally coherent than he is now.

Not sure this will really get anyway, but I'm always pessimistic about these things.  I would think Trump could declassify them and then just release them, saying that's what Biden took.  He could also do this to Mike Pence and whoever else has helped themselves to what they've found in the SCIF.

I would like to think that he's also going to announce whatever he had at Mar-a-Lago that led to the raid.  I still think he had something aimed at the raid itself, intended to start waves rolling through the federal government.  I don't even remember when the raid happened, so much has been going on the last few years, but that would be a smart plan and it looks like it came to pass.

I doubt they're going to do anything about Biden himself.  I really suspect Trump has given him immunity, for convenience if nothing else, and it's not like he'd even know what's going on.  I can't believe I'm being this nice about Joe Biden, but just let him die.  I guess that's what the Christmas spirit did for me this year.
