“The water was not fit to drink.  To make it palatable, we had to add whisky.  By diligent effort, I learned to like it.”

–Winston Churchill.

English returns today from Dallas. She, Gram, and Rufe flew down to party with Holland. Everyone seems to have had a nice visit. No one got arrested, and nothing got broken.

Back in Northern Virginia, Dudley decided to act out. English left the house on Saturday morning at 3:30 a.m. I finally was able to roust Dudley from his bed around 9:00 a.m. He was most unhappy. But then I fed him a nice breakfast of hamburger and eggs. It was a special treat, intended to cheer him up. Which it did; for 5 minutes. Then he was back to being grumpy.

He refused to eat his dinner (though he happily downed his coctail hour peanuts). He then hid while I watched the USC/Notre Dame game. But during the night, and on Sunday, he continued to act out. He was a very, very BAD dog. English’s plane better not be delayed today, as Dudley might not be here when she gets home.

The Observations reported last week that New Jersey gubernatorial candidate Mikie Sherrill (D.) received campaign contributions from a member of the Chinese Communist Party. Well, we can now report that another Democrat gubernatorial candidate received campaign contributions from that very same CCP member–Abigail Spanberger (D. Va.). Is that not interesting?

Is there any reason to speculate on why the Chinese Communists want Democrats to be elected in the United States? Nope. After all, birds of a feather . . . .

“I find it stunning that you say one of the pillars of your public safety platform is protecting children. Were you protecting Jennifer’s children when you said you wanted to see them DIE in their mother’s arms?  How can anybody who’s ever worked in any of the crimes against children, all of the areas of federal and state local law department, how can they ever take YOU seriously, be the top prosecutor, knowing that you view that children should DIE to advance a political agenda?  It’s unconscionable, and if you were truly ‘sorry,’ you would not be running for this office, because you disqualified yourself.”

–Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares (R.), addressing Jay Jones (D.) in their debate at The University of Richmond.

Representative Hakeem Jeffries (D. N.Y.) stands by Virginia Attorney General candidate Jay Jones (D.) despite his vile comments about murdering his political opponents and their families. Representative Jeffries reasoned that Jay Jones apologized, and that should end it. NO. Jay Jones apologized at the candidate debate at The University of Richmond because he had to do so. He only apologized because he got caught. Jay Jones is a despicable human being, and deserves no position of public trust. The voters of Virginia should place him, and his whole Democrat ticket, on the ash heap of history.

“Everyone knows the score, right? The authoritarians divide and conquer, and they create an ‘other,’ and then they pick on it, pick on the person, harass them, jail them, and that’s all used as a direction so they can steal as much as they can [and] maintain power.  We all know history. So, that’s what he’s doing, and we have masked goons roaming the streets, hiding their faces, abducting people.  Go to Hell [Donald Trump].”

–actor John Cusack, speaking at a “We Hate America” rally.

All across America, old white liberals angry over the Vietnam War and the draft, gathered to protest Donald Trump. They held their “We Hate America” rallies, and insisted that they were ascendent against “fascism” and “tyranny”. Uh, folks? Guess what? If President Trump was actually a fascist tyrant, your rallies would not have been allowed to occur.

Does anyone on the Left ever think before speaking? Have they ever read a book, or actually thought about something? Or do they just emote anger? They are never happy.

The “We Hate America” rally participants chanted “Kings Get Guillotines!” See? They cannot help it. Violence is all they know.

President Trump commuted the sentence of former Representative George Santos (R. N.Y.). The Left is outraged! He’s not a drug dealer!

Health & Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. is calling for Americans to eat more meat, more butter, drink whole milk, and eat vegetables. The Left is horrified. Eat meat and dairy?!?!?! The horrors.

I took Secretary Kennedy’s advice to heart last night. I consumed a steak, mashed potatoes with butter, and a salad. Delicious! MAKE AMERICA HEALTHY AGAIN!

“They are able to radicalize and target and exploit a generation of young boys, in particular, away from healthy masculinity and into an insecure masculinity that requires a domination of others who are poorer, browner, darker or a different gender than them.”

–Puddin’head.

Puddin’ apparently wants all American males to be as effeminate as her boyfriend.

“When I was coaching, I taught my players that this is the greatest country in the world, and if you work hard, the sky is the limit for what you can achieve—no matter what you look like.  Unfortunately, woke Democrats have spent the past 20 years telling young men they are ‘racist,’ ‘sexist’ and ‘toxic’ simply for being men.”

–Senator Tommy Tuberville (R. Al.), and former Auburn University football coach.

We wager that Senator Tuberville knows more about molding and developing men than does Puddin’head. 

The United States House of Representatives will not be in session this week. What is the point? Senate Democrats keep voting to keep the federal government closed.

Representative Rashida Tlaib (D. Mi.) spent more than $35,000.00 in luxury limousine expenses in the last 11 months. Public servant my Aunt Mae! She, like all socialists, are entitled brats.

“When powerful people cheat to get better loans, it comes at the expense of hardworking people.   Everyday Americans cannot lie to a bank to get a mortgage, and if they did, our government would throw the book at them.  There simply cannot be different rules for different people.”

–New York Attorney General Letitia James (D.).

Is Karma not just wonderful?

At a debate with all candidates, New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani (D.) said that Hamas should disarm. This comes after many previous contradictory statements by Mr. Mamdani. A change of heart? No. He’s lying. Every time he opens his mouth he is lying.

“If people expect to fight fascism without a good semi-automatic rifle, they ought to do some reading of history.”

–Graham Platner (D.), U.S. Senate candidate in Maine.

More Leftist violence. They thrive on such fantasies of death and destruction. Then when elected to office, they try and enact policies guaranteeing death and destruction.

Tampon Tim (D. Mn.) long championed drivers licenses for illegal aliens, just like his counterpart in California. Guess what? Illegal aliens use those drivers licenses to vote. Minnesota government officials admitted as much. But, but, but, that’s illegal! Yes. So is being in the United States without permission. What’s your point?

A Cook County judge issued an order forbidding ICE agents from arresting illegal aliens in or around court buildings. He does not have the power to issue this order. But he did so anyway. Because . . . Orange Man Bad.

In Lafayette, Louisiana, the FBI arrested a participant in Hamas’s October 7, 2023 terror attack against Israel. The man was discovered directing and participating in terrorist activities from his Louisiana home. Thank you, China Joe!

In Cincinnati, Ohio, Jonathan Morris got fired from his job at Taco Bell. Mr. Morris returned the next day, where he gunned down and murdered his former manager in the restaurant parking lot. The dead man, Ryan Johnson, leaves behind a wife and 7 children. Sigh. Fast food is so dangerous.

GAFCON announced its dioceses would disassociate with the Anglican Communion. This has been a long time coming. The Episcopal Church USA began the process through the ordination of women, the politicization of the pulpit, and finally the celebration of the sin of sodomy and the redefinition of marriage. The Church of England proceeded more slowly, but surely, in the same direction. And the election of the new Archbishop of Canterbury was the last straw. The Anglican Communion is destroying itself, not in the pursuit of God, but in running away from God, and pursuing earthly, modern secular desires. It is not the beginning of the end. Because the Church is closer to the end than to the beginning.

Thieves broke into The Louvre museum outside Paris, stealing approximately $7 million worth of jewels from the collection of Napoleon and the Empress. Okay, now what are you going to do with them? Take them to a pawn shop?

At the Earl Haig Secondary School in Toronto, Canada, the school played the national anthem, O’ Canada, in Arabic. On October 7, the 2nd anniversary of the Hamas attack on Israel. Why not just impose Sharia law and get it over with?

The United States ended all foreign aid to Colombia. President Trump branded Colombia’s President a “Drug Leader”. And he is. This will not end well for Colombia.

Just ask Venezuela. The U.S. Navy took out yet another drug trafficking boat, a drug trafficking submarine, and captured prisoners on the high seas. WINNING!

The United States, joined by Russia and Saudi Arabia, and a handful of other nations, narrowly defeated the United Nations’ proposed global carbon tax. The push for the tax was led by China, who is not our friend.

Hamas violated the cease fire multiple times over the weekend, and received a response from the Israeli Defense Force. This is not going to end well.

Hamas is also carrying out public executions of Arabs in Gaza. And Leftists accuse Donald Trump of “retribution”!

Hamas leaders insist that the public executions in Gaza are necessary to maintain order. Hamas leaders also insist that they need not disarm. Israel will be occupying all of Gaza by Thanksgiving.

Prince Andrew surrendered his royal title, Duke of York. A final humiliation for the man who cannot keep his trousers buttoned.

The Jordan Hudson show premiered in Berkley, where it promptly lost to the Cal Bears. Miami came crashing down, as Carson Beck through 4 interceptions, and the Canes lost to Louisville. SMU went to Death Valley, and emerged with a victory over Clemson. Georgia Tech beat Duke. UVA beat Washington State. And Connecticut beat Boston College; pitiful! Florida State lost to Stanford; even more pitiful!

Minnesota dominated Nebraska. Ohio State rolled over Wisconsin. Penn State lost [again!]. Michigan won. UCLA beat Maryland. And Oregon beat Rutgers.

Now how much sense does this make? Maryland travels 3,000 miles to the West Coast, and Oregon travels 3,000 miles to the East Coast, to play conference games! This is ridiculous! Can’t we just put everyone back where they belong?

USC started fast, but it did not last as the Trojans lost to Notre Dame in South Bend. I am looking forward to USC playing East Carolina in The Military Bowl on a cold, rainy afternoon this December.

Alabama beat Tennessee, and Georgia beat Ole Miss. Mississippi State lost a heartbreaker to Florida. Texas prevailed over Kentucky [barely] in overtime. Arch Manning is beyond overrated. Auburn lost to Missouri. Hugh Freeze is already packed and ready to move on. Oklahoma crushed South Carolina. And Vanderbilt beat LSU! Think of that! The team is now ranked #12! This is unbelievable.

BYU beat Utah. Arizona State beat Texas Tech. TCU beat Baylor. Cincinnati rolled over Oklahoma State. Houston beat Arizona. And University of Central Florida humiliated West Virginia.

Utah State topped San Jose State. Air Force beat Wyoming. Boise State beat UNLV. Hawaii and New Mexico won.

East Carolina beat Tulsa. South Florida and Tulane won. The University of Alabama-Birmingham, having just fired its hapless head coach, rallied and beat #22 Memphis.

Princeton beat Brown. Harvard and Yale won. The Cornell anti-Semites beat Bucknell (Bucknell has a football team?). Dartmouth beat Fordham, and UPenn beat Columbia.

Curry College running back Montie Quinn ran for 522 yards and 7 touchdowns in the school’s win over Nichols College. WOW!

Founding member of KISS Ace Frehley has died at age 74. R. I. P.

Former MLB catcher Jose Montero has died at age 35. R. I. P.
