I wonder if Jimmy Carter will live long enough to once again be the only living one term president. He has until January 20th at 11:00 AM to kick the bucket.

HE DID IT!

Died at age 100 according to the news today.

Now Trump is the only living one term president… for a little while anyway.

Will Democrats hire another hit man? Or will Putin?

It’ll be Melania because The Donald is trading her in for a newer model. That’s right, Melania is 54 yo; but, Elon is only 53.

Who knew?

… DC

Michelle isn’t going to Donald’s inauguration.

NO PARDONS FOR HER!

I heard he may deport her… back to Chicago. She’ll be like - Noooooo! Exile me to Venezuela, or North Korea, but don’t deport me back to Chicago!

Then Donald will have the Supreme Court sentence her to two or three terms as mayor of Chicago.

At some point during doing her time, she’ll likely go insane… like Rahm Emanuel.

I suppose there’s a price to pay for being a party pooper.

…much of the world,

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

It’s the Year of the Snake.

(Perhaps I should’ve put this in Politics.)

And you thought last year was a bad one.

**Posted by Anon** 1/30/2025 12:40 am

Last year was bad, terrible, horrible, the worst ever, no good.

Last year was the Year of the Dragon. We slayed the dragon by feeding it snake oil.

…Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania,

Punxsutawney Phil sees his shadow, predicting 6 more weeks of California fires in 2025. Phil was planning to go to Hollywood to become a movie star; but, will remain in Pennsylvania for now and work on adding variety to his predictions.

…the US of A,

Penny for your thoughts… nuh-uh.
Putting in your two cents… not anymore.
Pennies from heaven… don’t even think about it.

The President has ordered the Treasury Department to stop minting One Cent coins (a.k.a. pennies). Has something to do with them costing 2.7 cents each to make.

Now we’re going to be more like… Canadians!

**Posted by glatt** 2/10/2025 4:25 pm

wait, what? The president has done something I approve of?

**Posted by Anon** 2/11/2025 5:17 pm

I think it’s a ruse. He may be secretly planning to introduce a new coin with his own likeness. It’ll be made of iron pyrite (a.k.a. fool’s gold) and it’s value will fluctuate annually, rounded to the nearest whole cent, to match its manufacturing cost though not to exceed four cents. He’ll call it the… Trumpenny.

Meanwhile in a related news story…

HAPPY 4547!

President Trump has signed an executive order renaming Presidents’ Day. It shall henceforth be known as 4547 Day. The order explains that only President number 45 and President number 47 are genuine while all other Presidents were fake. Calendars in the USA must be modified to reflect the change by this time next year.

Macron was correcting disinformation from Trump. Then Trump's eyes would roll while basically saying Macron was lying.

Trump only thinks what the last person orders him to believe. Macron, Starmer, and others are on a baton passing campaign, one after another, trying to be last ones telling Trump a reality. Trying to protect the western world.

In NOLA,

The new tariffs became effective on Mardi Gras day. Record numbers of savvy participants were flashing for beads in case the cost of beads becomes prohibitive and this is the last year to get them. The vast majority of the plastic beads are made in China. Alternatives under consideration for next year are domestically produced macaroni and/or popcorn strings. It’s rumored that next year’s participants may protest such changes by mooning rather than flashing. Some consider it to be a win-win situation.

The original owner (and founder) was suppose to buy it back.

Numerous companies are retrenching. Since it is obvious that a serious recessive will occur. Since commercial leases are over many years, many companies today are shutting down less profitable operations. And will be doing so for the next three years. Knowing that business school mismanagement today will create serious downturns in the next many years.

On one commercial strip alone, I count seven businesses shut down in the last five months. Some appeared to have sufficient traffic. But not what its other stores had.

We know over the many hundreds of years, tarriffs and tax cuts always create recessions.

Could they field a robot army?

**Posted by Anon** 4/19/2025 10:54 pm

Instead of “Hooah!” (Army), “Oorah!” (Marines); or, “Hooyah!” (Navy), their battle cry will be ”No Disassemble!”
