Stealthily wrapping our younger (special needs) daughter’s Christmas gifts while she is at her adult workshop academy today.
Still have one more batch of cookies to finish up. The dough is in the fridge waiting for me to roll/cut/bake and ice/decorate.
Confession: The other day, while attempting to cholate-dip the frozen ‘no-bake’ “Cookie Dough” cookies … I said EFF THIS MESS! and threw it all in the trash. Yes, a bit of a waste of money, but Oh! how I felt so liberated! That said, Christmas 2021 has convinced me that going into future holidays I will not bake, but order and pay for cookies.

That said, I’m not the only one who’s “gettin’ too old” for this crap after eleven months of “Brandon”…

OregonMuse @ AoSHQ: The Morning Rant: I HAVE SEEN THE FUTURE AND WE’RE SCREWED

Megan Henney: HISTORIC SURGE: Inflation spikes to 39-year high as consumer prices soar ahead of the holidays …

Twitchy: CNBC’s Jim Cramer appears to have received Biden admin’s request for media to do a better job hyping the economy

Umm, Jimbo, do you not watch or read your own network’s reporting??? …

Jeff Cox: ECONOMY: Inflation surged 6.8% in November, even more than expected, to fastest rate since 1982

Twitchy: ‘Gets FUNNIER every time you say it!’ Joe Scarborough WRECKED for working SUPER HARD pushing ‘Biden’s (economic) Boom’ and LOL

Juicy’s Sour Verdict:

Julius Young, Nate Day: Jussie Smollett convicted of staging hate crime, lying to cops: The ‘Empire’ alum, who claimed to be attacked in Chicago in 2019, was found guilty on 5 of 6 charges

Andrew Mark Miller: Biden, Harris led frenzy to amplify Jussie Smollett’s false hate crime claims: Multiple politicians called the attack an attempted ‘modern day lynching’

NYPost: CNN anchor brands old pal Jussie Smollett a liar, ignores own role in drama: Lemon discussed the “Empire” star’s guilty verdict on his show Thursday night. … Yeah, well, Mr. LeMon has his own sexual assault lawsuit troubles that he has to orchestrate to get out of come trial time.

Twitchy: DAMN, this is 1 PAINFUL trip down memory lane: Here’s a BUNCH of blue-check Lefties making a*ses of themselves DEFENDING #JussieSmollett

NYP Ed. Staff: The Post says: Putting the lie to lefties’ race-baiting for Jussie Smollett

Melissa Roberto: Jussie Smollett’s guilty verdicts have killed his career, experts say: ‘Hollywood will never uncancel him’: Smollett was convicted Thursday on five of six charges he staged an anti-gay, racist attack on himself nearly three years ago … Eh, I have my doubts. Hollywood has forgiven worse. I mean, we’re talking about the guy faking crimes done by faked “MAGA” Trump supporters. I think Hollywood is quietly holding him at hero status. After all, it’s “his truth”, doncha know. And the Hollywood left is all-in on that out-of-touch-with-facts-and-reality “___’s truth” bullshit.

BREAKING NEWS:

Joseph A. Wulfsohn: FOX News Media’s All-American Christmas Tree rebuilt, relit at NYC headquarters following arson attack: Crowds gathered outside FOX Square for the tree-lighting ceremony … The nutjob that torched the cable news network’s prior Christmas tree, and a day later was set free on the NYC streets on that stupid city’s “no bail” policy, was spotted watching all of this across the street last night. I’ve a feeling that this ain’t over with this idiot.
