You simply cannot expect these snakes to ever change their ways:

The MSM is mostly women and minorities now. Check out this article:

https://www.compactmag.com/art...the-lost-generation/

The behavior you see in the media makes sense from the perspective of female aggression. Lots of reputation destructing gossip, feelings over facts, attacks on truly attractive conservative women (Melania and Sydney), while they elevate unattractive women like Michelle Obama under the "every woman is a 10" and "body positivity" mantras.

They use the organizational reputations built over many years to push garbage, destroying the reputation in the process.

Once women take over an industry, they do not reach balance with men, they drive the remaining men out by feminizing the workplace so much that the men leave on their own if they aren't thrown out.

Did not realize Kellsey Grammer was conservative. I do recall his sister was brutally murdered some years ago.

He really explained it well. He has so much common sense. 40 years ago the USSR was our enemy.

Now our enemy is Soros, the media, and the left that will do anything to seize power. Kill, lie, cheat, steal... even poison half the world with a phony vaccine that causes cancer.

So was his father, life came at him fast. I don’t know his whole story, but what I’ve heard him tell he’s a good guy that was able to overcome a lot. He’s worked hard to be where he is today, he has my respect.

At the end of the video that oddball linked for us,
Kelsey Grammer says, " Donald Trump can't protect us anymore. We have to do it ourselves."

Grammer wasn't belittling President Trump. Far from it. We can't all just sit in front of the screen and applaud him.

He was pointing out that we have to get off the couch and work/fight for our country under the heroic leadership of DJT and our other community, state and national leaders.

Grammer makes this point in every episode of his historical series.

Trump Gives Federal Workers 2 More Days Off: Dec. 24 and 26
With Christmas on a Thursday this year, federal workers will get a long weekend.

https://www.theepochtimes.com/...-and-26-post-5960133

After previously saying this:
On Juneteenth, which commemorates when the final slaves were freed, Trump said there are too many federal holidays.

“Too many non-working holidays in America. It is costing our country billions of dollars to keep all these businesses closed. The workers don’t want it either! Soon we'll end up having a holiday for every once working day of the year. It must change if we are going to Make America Great Again!” he posted on Truth Social.


I disagree with this decision.

I do too. If Fed employees wish, they could use any remaining vacation days to take those days off.

Well, as a federal employee, I gladly accept these days off.

It’s about time they threw us a bone. People spent all year trashing us, calling us useless parasitic bureaucrats sucking off the govt teet. Calling for us to all be fired.

DOGE made us prove we were doing out jobs. THEN I went through the govt shut down. I worked my 40 hrs per week, with NO guarantee I would get paid at the end of it (all the while in an under-manned office, making due with 50% manning with 100% work load. Thank God my wife and I had our finances in order so that we could make ends meet without our primary income.

Two extra days off is THE LEAST they can give us. . .

Government employees should keep in mind that most American workers don't get half the days off that they do. Honestly it is ridiculous.

I have zero sympathy for .gov workers. Sorry. Feel free to tell us where we can get a job with anything approaching the benefits of a govt job. Pension, healthcare, holidays, and yes paid time off during govt shutdowns.

I used to work a govt job too so again enlighten us on the last time workers DIDN’T get back pay for the time under the shutdown whether they showed up for work or not. I’ll wait.

Govt jobs also have significantly more overlap and employees than any privately run firm. Govt jobs are a blessing. A blessing to those who have them. Enjoy your paid holiday off that nobody else has.

Well.....now you have stirred up a hornet's nest! Around here the only thing worse than defending a federal job is defending the Post Office. I say if a government, or Post Office job is so great, then get yourself one and stop the whining and pathetic bitching.

I never had a government job, but this sounds a little like bitching because someone has a better paying job.

Quite the opposite Muddflap...

It is pointing out the audacity of some to complain when having a job that has perks, benefits, pay guarantees, etc. that are not common in the private sector (the part of the economy that makes money) by those in the government sector who's job it is to spend the taxpayer money with incredible inefficiency and waste.

That is my take...

There is a place for government and government employees, but most of the jobs/services could be done quicker and for less money than the government (outside of the military and select few services).

Teat.

Hound Dog, you're making me tear up thinking of how bad you have it.

The auto industry generally gets Dec 24 to Jan 1 as holidays. This is mostly for maintenance shutdown projects, so if you are hourly and you work it, you get doubletime overtime on top of the holiday pay. At least the major companies are like this - it was negotiated by the UAW a long time ago. Many companies that are non-UAW or non-union still follow.

But we get fewer holidays during the year. At my company we get MLK, Good Friday, Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Day After, plus Christmas to New Year's Day so it's a total of 14 this year.

I won't begrudge Feds Christmas Eve. The 26th is OK if they give back Juneteenth.

Brianna Lyman on President Trump’s name being added to the Kennedy Center: “I personally don’t care that much, but I do find it funny, Paul, that you care and that the Kennedys care because no one in your party cared in 2020 when you guys were changing names of hospitals, parks, schools, streets, everything in the name of George Floyd.”

“Wikipedia has an entire page called ‘list of name changes due to the George Floyd protests.’ It is the longest Wikipedia page I’ve ever seen. So people who are up in arms about name changes now were mostly silent. The second point I’d make, I think it’s really disingenuous for the Kennedys and for anyone to sit here and pretend like they care so much about the Kennedy Center because I don’t know how many of you guys have been to the Kennedy Center prior to Donald Trump taking office.”

“I was there in 2023. I was in a VIP box. That should be pretty nice. The seats were stained. I literally sat down, I was like, is this wet? Is this fresh? The floors were dirty. This is a place that was decrepit. And all of this on top of people getting exorbitant salaries. So people who were running the Kennedy Center or who claimed to love and care about the Kennedy Center said nothing when it was falling into disrepair, and President Trump comes in, they are renovating, they cut salaries that were needlessly high, they’re bringing people to come and see the arts for once. It was not that lively of an institution under the Biden administration. So don’t pretend like you care about the Kennedy Center now when you were quiet when it was falling into disrepair.”

^^^^^^
Not to mention the venerable military base names changed by Biden’s Autopen.

I’m waiting to find out how many judges were appointed by autopen and if their appointments will be vacated?

Willing to bet that each one of these ‘judges’ know they were appointed illegally but don’t care as long as they have the opportunity to try to destroy the country on behalf of Soros.
