Loading the Elevenlabs Text to Speech AudioNative Player... Rats are taking over our nation’s capital, and this is not mere Trump Derangement Syndrome hyperbole. We’re talking real rats—the filthy kind that progressive Democrats as well as MAGA Republicans would like to see exterminated as efficiently as possible. “Urban rat populations are booming,” the Washington Post reports, with the District of Columbia leading the way, as it does in so many areas of modern life.

Stop the Press(es)!
The decline of journalism from a trade into a profession has been a catastrophe.
The Washington Post has “descended into a dark abyss,” the New York Post reports, as if some abysses are, as the real estate ads say, suffused with natural light. The Washington Post plunged into this infernal netherworld because its owner decided a few weeks back not to endorse a presidential candidate.

Well, I’m lighting an artificial log in the fireplace tonight, and not just any artificial log, either. I’ll be firing up the KFC 11 Herbs and Spices log, which beat out the competition, though the choice was not an easy one. I also considered the Pine Mountain product (“scented like a fresh Alpine Forest”) and the Yankee Candle Balsam and Cedar Scented offering (“Enjoy the fragrance before lighting”). But maybe it was the smiling face of Col.

‘J.D.’s Mom! J.D.’s Mom!’
Let’s celebrate a small victory in the battle against the opioid crisis.
In a time of international unrest, with cold and hot wars raging between and among the U.S., its allies, and hostile foreign nations like North Korea, Russia, and Iran, it is easy to forget that we have an ongoing deadly battle raging here in the homeland: that waged by fentanyl, prescription opioids, heroin, and the like against ordinary American families.

Looks like George Washington’s mansion outside Washington, D.C., is getting a makeover. Much of the manor house at Mount Vernon is now closed and will remain so for almost a year. Once the Property Brothers have tossed their tools into the back of their pickup and Ye Olde Jacuzzi is up and running, elected officials of our own day—Washington’s heirs—should be moved to the front of the line to see the results. The more they know about the Father of Our Country, the better for all of us, right?

A report fromForbes that “at least 100 billionaires” were supporting either the former President Donald Trump or Vice President Kamala Harris points once again to the unseemly involvement of rich Americans in their own country’s elections. So much earnest handwringing over this news can be expected in coming weeks that La Roche-Posay hand cream sales will go through the roof and send stock in L’Oreal, which owns La Roche-Posay, soaring.
