Some folks say Santa Claus isn't real. Rather, a clever ruse devised to sell a bunch of stuff at Walmart.

And, its previous commercial ancestors.

Possibly.

Which kind of seems like the case of California Governor Gavin Newsom's equally fictious slam at the press for making fun of his sitting position during a recent interview.

A position appearing very uncomfortable for most men to endure for very long.

In reaction, Gavin produced an even more bizarre photoshopped image on X — a  picture of him sitting yoga-style during an on-stage discussion at The New York Times Dealbook Summit, posted with the caption "Democracy requires flexibility."

It's probably not unusual for big time politics to need a few extra bucks from time to time.

However, after Kamala spent, somehow, over a billion dollars in 107 days campaigning a year ago, seems odd the Democratic National Committee requires a little more cash to help out in this year's elections.

Couldn't they simply ask her for a handout? Surely, she has some leftover gravy stashed somewhere.

According to federal documents recently disclosed, the DNC took out a $15 million loan in October to help cover expenses of fall's state elections. — The Wall Street Journal, Nov. 21, 2025.

"The Shahada (Arabic: الشَّهَادَةُ aš-šahādatu; Arabic pronunciation: [aʃʃahaːdatʊ], 'the testimony'),[note 1] also transliterated as Shahadah, is an Islamic oath and creed, and one of the Five Pillars of Islam and part of the Adhan. It reads: "I bear witness that there is no god but God, and I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of God." The Shahada declares belief in the oneness (tawhid) of God and the acceptance of Muhammad as God's messenger. Some Shia Muslims also include a statement of belief in the wilayat of Ali,[1] but they do not consider it as an obligatory part for converting to Islam.[2] A single honest recitation of the Shahada is all that is required for a person to become a Muslim according to most traditional schools." — Illustrated Dictionary of the Muslim World, Marshall Cavendish, 2011.
___________________________________

We'd better wake up to the undeniable fact a large portion of the growing Muslim community in our country has little intention of "assimilating" into society or tolerating other religious organizations.

We're viewed as subhuman, worship a false God, and need to be eliminated in order to bring Allah's "Will" and governance to rule over the Earth.

Or as they say "There is no God but Allah, and Muhammad is his prophet," and variants of this theme.

"I am a United States Sailor. I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States of America, and I will obey the orders of those appointed over me. I represent the fighting spirit of the Navy and those who have gone before me to defend freedom and democracy around the world." — The Sailor's Creed, written at the direction of Chief of Naval Operations Frank Kelso, appearing in the American Legion Magazine, October 2025.

Not certain President's Trump's claim of accusing various members of Congress and department staff of "sedition" is valid in this particular case.

But, I sympathize with his sentiments.

As a USMC veteran, I'm totally aware of the military's position on sedition and those found guilty of it.

My brief habitation in this current incarnation has convinced me of one irrefutable conclusion — my brain is dumber than my butt and I have the IQ tests to prove it.

It must be, because it seems to be continually fooled and conned into various politically generated scams and deceptions.

Which, I guess, is also a malady affecting most folks.

Or else, why would we be in the mess we're in?

After wrangling back and for months to finally compel the Department of Justice to release all the information it had accumulated on pedophile and child sex trafficker Jeffery Epstein over the years, the House and Senate voted on Tuesday, Nov. 18, 2025, to pass a bill of approval and move it on to President Trump for finalizing signature.

The House passed the bill by a 427 "Yea" to 1 "Nay" Republican vote.

The Senate followed with a "Unanimous Consent Bill," meaning a voice vote wasn't taken, but the bill was approved by a unanimous decision via the Speaker.

Cartoon: California Fleeing

"The Democratic Party is back. That's not hyperbole. Did you see the election results? The American people are sending a message, a message to Trump and to his crowd. The fact is that we had a great night in Virginia, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, California, New York City, Georgia, Mississippi — even in Mississippi." — Former President Joe Biden speaking at the Ben Nelson Gala, Omaha, Nebraska, Nov. 7, 2025.
______________________________________________

It might be a bit premature for Joe Biden to declare "The Democrat Party is back" for at least three reasons: 1. Democrat candidates won in primarily Democrat areas of the country. 2. Apparently, the Democrat Party is now being led by Socialists, and an avowed Socialist/Communist Mayor in New York City and a similar one in Seattle. 3. How would Joe know the party is back? He doesn't even know where he is half the time.

Which is probably the reason he was suddenly replaced by Kamala Harris during last year's Presidential Election. His debate collapse against Donald Trump was the final straw. Dems quickly yanked him and shoved-in Kamala. More desperation than wisdom.

Sign the Petition: Bill Gates Must Explain His Farmland Purchases | Farm Action
"A 2025 Land Report named him [Bill Gates] the largest private farmland owner in the U.S., with 275,000 acres under his name—248,000 acres of it active farmland across at least 17 states. That makes him No. 1 in farmland and the 43rd largest landowner overall when factoring in non-agricultural holdings." — Benzinga, May 22, 2025.
___________________________

When working on last week's article, "Running From The Fire," Nov. 4, I reported Microsoft billionaire, Bill Gates, was eagerly buying U.S. farmland by the thousands of acres.

These purchases stretch from the East Coast, across the Heartland to the West Coast.

So far, 275,000 total acres, including "transitional and recreational" acquisitions within 17 states.

Bill's accumulated 25,750 acres in Arizona.

Okay, the guy has been shopping for property. So what?
