Nobody Stays Lucky

When we moved in back in 2015, we had a neighbor who had made a relative fortune as a stockbroker. He had retired and was seemingly enjoying his golden years. On the few occasions we talked, he told me how "blessed" he was. I picked his brain for his thoughts on certain stocks or where he thought the market would go, but he was always cagey. He would tell me "you just have to stay lucky". The last time I spoke to him was around this season as I remember, when he said his wife had made "the most delicious turkey" for the holiday. Later that day, we heard he had choked on a sandwich (or more precisely, had choked, been saved by the fire department after his wife called 911, but then died of a heart attack). I could not help but think that even for the luckiest among us, eventually the luck runs out.  

A Durable Ceasefire?

Israel may be compelled, at least so long as the Biden-Harris regime continues, to stick to the so-called "ceasefire" with Hezbollah, even though that terrorist group has no intention of keeping it and has in fact already violated the terms. When Trump returns to the Presidency, the IDF may be freed to operate until victory. The cabal running and ruining America at the moment does plenty of damage worldwide and can't end soon enough. 

Love a Parade

My great aunt Pauline happened to own a condominium at 52 Central Park West that over looked the route of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, so I had the opportunity to enjoy the festivities in ways few have. It is certainly disheartening that this year's proceedings come with a terror warning. What sort of disgusting creatures would threaten a time of such joy and innocence? 

An Imposed Ceasefire

Hezbollah wanted a ceasefire badly, as they were losing. It is Israel that was winning who had the cessation forced on them by the Biden regime. Now, we shall see if the departing Biden fools also throw America's weight around to force Israeli defeat in Gaza as well. 

The Tariff King

If you are an American and want or need anything manufactured outside the United States, you had better buy it before Trump takes power because he has pledged the taxes on goods made abroad will commence on "Day One" of his second term. I had anticipated China-made goods and maybe even Mexico being subjected to tariffs as well since they have been flooding our nation with deadly Fentanyl and illegal aliens almost too numerous to count, but Forty-seven intends to include Canada as well, just because . . . Trudeau mostly. If you are intending to purchase stuff from there, do it now because it is about to become more expensive. 

Pardon That Turkey?

While faded Joe is pardoning the Thanksgiving turkey today, Biden should pardon the really large one, who frequented prostitutes and took illegal narcotics. It would be the ideal time to spare his son Hunter prison.  

Not Bear Bryant

The University of Alabama's head football coach may or may not turn out to be a good one and a great fit for the program, but it certainly did not look like one last night as the Crimson Tide were rolled up on by a decidedly underwhelming Oklahoma Sooner squad. Kalen DeBoer might be an innovator and brilliant football mind, but that wonderful combination is no guarantee of success at a particular institution which has a culture different than anywhere DeBoer actually enjoyed success.
