Well, here we are again…
Happy New Year, everyone! As I type, Justin Trudeau has stepped down and the election of Donald Trump has been certified. I watched them both live. They were boring. A massive snowball fight has erupted in DC on the anniversary of the fedsurrection.
It is a time of signs and wonders.
I’m sorry to have done so much Jack Chick to you. I needed something easy to queue up in advance. It’s the first time in the eighteen years(!) of this blog that I’ve taken a solid chunk of time away. Off work, too. I feel positively reset.
We’ve had a lovely two weeks and hope you did too, Jack Chick not withstanding. I shall now go and read the posts from everyone I didn’t scare away.
p.s. I know! I know! Jimmy Carter at last!

Hopefully you had some good time off. Looking forward to a New Deadpool on Friday. A lot of the news around Jimmy makes you think he was a saint. I did not realize he did not appear to like Jews very much but apparently it is well documented.
Welcome back.

If anyone thinks the Democrats are not going to exceed the funeral rites of the late George Floyd for dear, departed Peanut Farmer, I have a bridge in Atlanta, GA for you to buy.
The best idea has been for President Trump to order the flags off half-mast as soon as he is sworn in as #47, since Joe Biden has ordered an excessive flag order period of half-staff until January 28 (30 days after the day of death). Joe’s sneaky staff is determined to do as much infantile, petty damage as possible on their way out.

Welcome back Stoaty. I hope you and Uncle Badger did something fun over the holidays. We had lots of company, but it was the kind of company that cooked—so no complaints here.
@ExpressoBold Pureblood—from the U.S. Flag Code: Title 4, Chapter 1, Subsection 7(m) Position and manner of display: The flag shall be flown at half-staff 30 days from the death of the President or a former President;

No doubt that Trump is unhappy about the half-staffing order overlapping the inauguration, but I would be extremely surprised if Trump ordered flags back to full-staff after he was sworn in. The obsequies will go forward.

The Golden Age of America cannot begin at half-mast!
