It looks like Kamala Harris's classy streak is over. For awhile there, we thought something had changed in her when she graciously certified the 2024 election in the Senate and put on a decent appearance at Jimmy Carter's funeral. It seemed like a politically smart way of distinguishing herself from bitter Joe Biden and preserving her political viability.

As I was driving north on 163 towards Rancho Bernardo, the winds were high, the traffic was thick and I could see a pretty unwelcome sight in the distance: A huge plume of billowing white smoke crossing the sky in big puffs, with black smoke billows coming into sight at the base of it as I drove further.

It seemed like a politically smart way of distinguishing herself from bitter Joe Biden and preserving her political viability. But now the old Kamala is back, classless as ever, refusing to give the incoming vice president, J.D. Vance and his young family, a courtesy tour of the Naval Observatory, which serves as the vice presidential residence. She even could have proudly shown him all the renovations she had done.

As world leaders court President Trump and jockey for invitations at his inauguration, it was probably only a matter of time before one of them decided to go the other way, challenging him as 'weak.'

Now, he's breaded up the thing with lies, and served it as a ... certain kind of sandwich, which is what his final farewell address amounted to.

For all the talk about defunding the police in blue county Los Angeles, major fires revealed that what at least one blue government really ended up defunding was the fire department.

A lot of us Catholics have been weirded out by President Trump's closeness to Catholic culture. We couldn't figure out where it came from. Last year, he wished the Virgin Mary a happy birthday. He tweeted an image of Our Lady of Guadalupe. He issued praise for All Saints Day. (Snip) It all began a few years ago when Father Mann was walking through a Queens cemetery and came upon the gravesite of Trump’s parents and grandparents. “It was slightly overgrown,” Father Mann recalled. “I thought this shouldn’t be. This is a historic site. So, I went and bought a weed whacker and some decorations and fixed up the plot.

The anticipation of President Trump's inauguration has driven the highest hopers and the biggest haters off the deep end.

As crowds fill the streets of Washington with President Trump's supporters celebrating, top Democrats are busy sniping and catfighting with each other, going full cat scratch fever in this particular instance:

It was disheartening news to many to read that Joe Biden, on his last day in office, decided to blow up the joint on the way out by issuing pardons to every freak who's mendaciously and malevolently targeted President Trump through politicized prosecutions, as well as his entire corrupt mafia of family members who've grown rich based on dirty business deals with enemy nations.
