Did you read the huge “breaking news” story in the New York Times? The journalists at the Times revealed that President Joe Biden has had mental issues almost his entire term. Wow. What a surprise.
For people who only get their news from the NYT or television networks (other than Fox), this really is breaking news. They had no idea of the President’s limited mental capacity until June when he stumbled through the debate with Donald Trump.
The “lame duck” Congress debated and wrestled with a budget bill to avoid a government shutdown. A 1600-page bill, loaded down with “pork barrel” items, was killed when Elon Musk, supported by Trump, pointed out the goal is to reduce federal spending, not increase it. Finally, on the third or fourth vote, a 118-page bill passed at midnight Friday.
Several TV commentators decided Elon Musk was the one in charge, not Trump, and started calling him “President Musk.”
Considering Joe Biden’s mental condition, do they still call him “President Biden?” Who in the White House is making the decisions? Who decided to sell the unused steel components of “The Wall” for a few pennies on the dollar? Who decided to ban exports of LNG? Who decided to let federal employees continue to work from home for five more years? And, looking back to 2021, who decided to encourage millions to cross our borders illegally?
Switching to a heavier topic… San Francisco has a budget deficit of over $800,000,000. So, Mayor Breed decided to ADD to the deficit to address an essential issue for the future of the city. She hired a person to build up the self esteem of fat people. You read that right. She hired a fat woman to encourage overeating by the residents of San Francisco. Any average size person who eats enough to become obese will receive a tax break. And folks who are currently fat, including illegal immigrants in the sanctuary city, can receive the same tax rebate if they gain 20 pounds.
Ok, I’m joking about the tax breaks. I think the mayor is counting on restaurants and grocery stores to profit handsomely and pay more taxes to cut her deficit to around $799,000,000.
Merry Christmas from the Reeder family and Will Rogers.
Historic quotes by Will Rogers:
“This was a very happy Christmas for me, in fact the best I have enjoyed in years. The shirts my wife gave me were the right size for the first time since wedlock. Of course, they were the wrong color, but one, if married, must not be too particular. For a while it looked like I would spend a perfect Christmas. Then about noon a necktie arrived.” WA #108, Jan. 4, 1925
“Still getting straggling Christmas cards. But they were mighty welcome I tell you. Just on first thought a Christmas card don’t mean much, but the older you get the more you like to open ’em and know that someone has remembered you.” WA #525, Jan.15, 1933
