Here’s what I want for Christmas and the New Year:
- I want Congress to pass the bill funding aid for Ukraine and Israel, increasing staffing at the border, and changing our policy on asylum and for the president to sign it and enforce it.
- I want the U. S. Supreme Court to define clearly and unambiguously what is and is not an insurrection, whether Trump can be disqualified from seeking re-election under the terms of the 14th Amendment, and who has the authority to make the determination.
- I want Russia to stop making war on Ukraine.
- I want Hamas to surrender.
- I want Israel to stop funding settlements on the West Bank.
- I want Congress to raise the debt ceiling and enact a budget.
- I want Hollywood to make a movie I genuinely want to go to the theater to see.
- I want neither Joe Biden nor Donald Trump to seek re-election.
- I want the city to correct what their contractors screwed up in our alley.
- I want the bozos at work to start taking my advice, start doing their own jobs, and stop trying to do mine.
Nothing big or ostentatious. I’m under no illusions. I don’t think I’ll get any of those things.
I want my stepson to change a light bulb and to be able to use the d-pad with my left hand.
A man’s reach should exceed his grasp or what’s a heaven for?
You have a fighting chance with the Supreme’s deciding what insurrection is. But I doubt it. You will likely rather hear what’s its not, which was Jan 6.
As for the others, fuggetaboutit.
But hey, I just heard your taxes are going up. Sumthin’ about reparations solving your crime issue. I know. I know. Chicago doesn’t have a crime issue. Heard it right here on this blog……….
The most partisan SCOTUS ever will protect Trump probably entirely avoiding the issue of insurrection. They need to earn those fancy, free vacations.
Eliminate the debt ceiling. Make budgets.
Eliminate the Hastert rule. Let’s stop being held hostage by tiny groups on the right or left.

I got a chest cold for Christmas. I wanted peace on Earth and good will to men.
