Forget The Grinch. Meet The Amy Who Stole Christmas. As you know, it has been powerfully offensive for years to irreligious leftists to wish anyone, even in the privacy of his kitchen, with the lights off, to wish Merry Christmas to another human. Sometime in the ‘90s, I think, leftists commanded all Americans to hereafter confine their December wishes – … Read More

Christmas Will Be Sad for Trump-haters
Don’t bother telling your “progressive” friends (if you have any left that is — 2017 was a harrowing time) Donald Trump is clearly The Grinch who stole Christmas. First, he was a racist, a Nazi allied with every undesirable (need I say deplorable?) force in the nation. “Of course he’s an anti-Semite.” To tell you how far the denial on … Read More
Goldilocks, Three Bears and a Gender Editor
