I haven’t heard a word today about the Epstein files, the economy or millions possibly losing health care. So … mission accomplished?
It’s hard to believe a president would time an illegal military attack to distract the public’s attention, but today is the statutory deadline for DOJ to release its report on the Epstein file production. Maybe it is just a coincidence.

A little sports trivia: This is the first time in Seattle history that the Mariners and Seahawks have each won division titles during overlapping seasons. It has never happened before. It's been a good year for Seattle sports. Congratulations Seahawks! Perhaps they'll be able to win it all, again.

So the US is planning to run Venezuela to benefit oil companies. Roughly half of voters there support the guy we just kidnapped, and the country is awash in illegal weapons. I do not see this going well for us.

Anyone else find it ironic that one reason the administration is giving for removing Maduro is that he “resisted the peaceful transition of power”?

“President Trump was by a large measure the most culpable and most responsible person in this conspiracy. These crimes were committed for his benefit. The attack that happened at the Capitol…does not happen without him”

How it started … and how it ended. Irish Guinness Bread is my favorite cold-weather quick bread. It’s great with a hearty stew for dinner or slathered with honey butter for breakfast. And it’s so easy: one bowl, no eggs and Guinness is the only liquid. Recipe in the comments.

Happy New Year, New Zealand (Aotearoa)! We had a great view of Sky Tower from our hotel window when we visited in November 2024. Wish we could’ve seen this fireworks show!
Watch: Auckland rings in 2026, fireworks light up Sky Tower
Lasers, projections and more than 3500 fireworks lit up the CBD as the clock struck midnight in New Zealand's largest city.
