Finally

 

And it’s very hard to remember and learn from something that has never been made known.

So thank you, President Trump, for releasing the truth.

Also, congratulations Pete Hegseth, our new Secretary of Defense. Not tired of winning.

Let The Party Begin

A lesser man, having been impeached – twice – and convicted of a felony, would have quit in shame and humiliation. Donald Trump is not a lesser man. Rather than quit he chose to fight! fight! fight! so America could win! win! win! It’s time to celebrate.

Donald Trump makes the greatest comeback in political history.

Godspeed President Trump.

And if you’re inclined, do drop into the MOTUS Twilight Lounge for a celebratory drink or not. This is a redux of the 2017’s celebration post but there’s even more cause for celebrating today. Enjoy every minute, we’ve  so earned this.

ORIGINALLY POSTED 1-20-2017

Come on in and join the celebration!  The Occupation is over; our long national nightmare has come to an end. Welcome to Day One of MAGA (II)!

As it’s been a long time since we’ve had occasion to celebrate with genuine revelry I’m throwing a pent-up-demand-on-steroids party.

There will be food:

First scandal of the Trump administration: RUSSIAN caviar?!

there will be beverage:

And there will be song:

And we will party all day and well into the night.

As to the snowflakes who have opted out of today’s festivities in favor of bitterly clinging to their ‘antipathy to people who aren't like them’ I have this shoutout: “I feel your pain.”  Hope that makes them feel better, knowing that the deplorables actually have feelings after all. For them, I dedicate this song:

Lonely Teardrops, Michael McDonald

I would have used the original Jackie Wilson version but having Michael McDonald drown in his own tears seemed to add a little something to today’s sense of well deserved schadenfreude.

So party on my wonderful, irredeemable deplorables.  

Like a Phoenix rising from the ashes…we will make America Great Again (again).

Thank you God, and God bless America

Only One More Day

And what a difference a day makes.

day four years

 

But finally, our prayers have been answered.

“…but deliver us from evil, amen.”

And prayers continue for our President’s good health and safety. Let the festivities begin.

“My Work Here Is Done”

Remember back in the Obama years when this was still metaphorical?

No longer, thanks to Nancy Pelosi’s nephew and his band full of unqualified incompetents.

Pray for California.

Happy Belated New Year MOTI!

Sorry for the belated wishes, I’ve been a bit under the weather.   

Unfortunately terrorists have ensured that 2025 has not gotten off on a very good foot.

Things will get better after January 20th.

My only resolution is to clean out the refrigerator. 

Every 3 years, whether it needs it or not.

Hope your resolutions are equally ambitious.

Christmas 2024

And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.

For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord.  And this shall be a sign unto you; ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

Raj and I would like to wish all of our wonderful friends here a very, very Merry Christmas. We all deserve to set the world’s burdens aside and simply embrace the beauty and miracle that is Christmas.            

We send our love to each of you and wish you all a wonderful Christmas. Fill it to the brim with all the merry and the bright you can muster, for we are blessed.

 

Gnomes, Gnomes Everywhere

It’s that time of year again, when we must discuss the Hallmark Christmas movies. There continues to be two schools of thought regarding their virtues: one, they are harmless, escapist feel-good movies, or two: they are mindless, formulaic tripe. I suppose the Hallmark Christmas Movie Drinking game supports the later view in that there are thousands of these movies now but only a half dozen different plots.

Or, if you have to boil them down to just one plot line: “I will sooo fall in love with anyone I meet 2 weeks before Christmas.”

Oh well, it will all be over soon enough.

 

I’m on day 21 of my gnome Advent calendar which means I have 21 gnomes. Since I finally got my downsized tree up  I can display them properly. This is my Jettie memorial gnome tree:

Gnomes, gnomes everywhere!

Droned Too Much?

To hijack one of Gerard Vanderleun’s (RIP) enduring memes:

New Jersey: Droned too much?

 

Or not enough?
