[Update: Others are saying it’s because he never left office.]
I’ll try to post later between shifts today, if I can, but I just needed to post this!
The new Cabinet!! The people who are going to make it all happen. I actually have tears of joy right now, gang.
What a long, strange trip it’s been.💖🎉🥂
We were told a couple of years ago that the true IRS was dismantled and became part of the US Treasury — so this bit of news is interesting!
“IRS Commissioner, Danny Werfel, has just resigned.”
It is actually SUNNY here right now. And the temperatures are going up to about 40 degrees Fahrenheit!
And then rain very early tomorrow morning — all of which means the snow will be gone before the temperatures plummet to below zero this coming week.
This could likely be my only post until Monday, because I have to do back-to-back doubles this weekend. And interestingly enough — I really can’t find any news to post today.
The news just keeps getting better and better — and news that we would have normally considered “Q” stuff, or alternative news, is now all over the MSM pretty much every day.
It feels incredible.
***************
The only thing that I thought was of interest was posted on Eyes On Christ last night — 2 TikTok videos and 1 ABC News footage video, made by private individuals in LA, claiming/showing there are no fires.
Click link and then scroll down.

Similarly, from President Trump yesterday:
“It is my honor to announce Jon Voight, Mel Gibson, and Sylvester Stallone, to be Special Ambassadors to a great but very troubled place, Hollywood, California. They will serve as Special Envoys to me for the purpose of bringing Hollywood, which has lost much business over the last four years to Foreign Countries, BACK—BIGGER, BETTER, AND STRONGER THAN EVER BEFORE! These three very talented people will be my eyes and ears, and I will get done what they suggest. It will again be, like The United States of America itself, The Golden Age of Hollywood!”
[FYI: these 3 actors have been all over the alternative news during the last 4 years.]

I love Simcha Jacobovici as much as I love James Tabor! I’m so excited about his TV show, “The Naked Archeologist” returning soon.

In other news–
Johnny Depp was in London the other night, sporting some great-looking teeth and looking fit and maybe even rested (?) at the Jeff Beck Guitar Auction event at Christie’s!
And honestly, gang, that is all I have for today. The news items that I find most interesting are all over the MSM now, so you can find them everywhere. Yay!
I don’t have to leave for my evening shift until 5:30pm, so I have the whole day to tackle the TV pilot.
And just in time for not only my schedule freeing up (after the Inauguration, that is), and my active involvement again with Peitor and our company, Abstract Absurdity Productions (based in the South of France), my Mondly Language App auto-renewed for another year yesterday! So I’m gonna have time now to keep tackling my French lessons. (This only makes 58 years (!!) of studying French!!!)
Meanwhile, enjoy your Friday, wherever you are in the world!
Thanks for visiting.
I love you guys. See ya!

Last night’s driving home music!!
The Pogues’ , “If I Should Fall From Grace With God.” From the album of the same name, 1988. Enjoy, gang!
Curious that Trump announced this just now!
“I am pleased to announce that Bill Pulte will serve as the next Director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency.
Bill needs no formal introduction to the Great Citizens of our Country, because they have seen, and many have experienced, his philanthropy firsthand. He believes in the incredible potential of our Nation, and will help us restore the American Dream FOR ALL.
Congratulations Bill!”
Check out this short YouTube Video Phil just posted. (6 mins):
I can’t believe we are only 4 days away from everything we’ve been working relentlessly toward for over four years.
It feels incredible.
Not only that, but it’s sort of been jaw-dropping to watch so many things coming to fruition even before the Inauguration. The ceasefire deal yesterday being a primary one.
And I’m guessing that the moment Trump is sworn in at noon on Monday, the Ukraine craziness will come to an immediate halt.
I guess we’ll see.
Anyway. There is not much to report. We are just sort of barreling toward the next phase — which doesn’t involve me trying to post the news updates anymore, btw. Once Trump is officially back in the White House, my work is done! And my blog will go back to just being my blog.

Okay.
Phil is planning to do a livestream tonight, but no time has been announced yet. Check here later to confirm.

Breakfast-listening-music!!
From the CD “Best of Cajun Country” — Rusty & Doug Kershaw, the original of the now- classic, “Louisiana Man”. 1955. Enjoy, gang!!!
I’m going to start off the post with Nick Cave’s new Red Hand File, which I just this moment read, and I am just so OVER it — that so many effing people have such a problem with the opening line of the AMAZING song, “O Wow O Wow (How Wonderful She Is)”. This is not the first time I’d encountered comments about that first line, or entire first verse.
It is such a HUMAN opening line. A human, playful song about an amazing , playful human being who is no longer among us. WTF is wrong with people? Have they never been in love and been in bed and made art???? Jesus.
Anyway! Nick replies, in part:
“But as its creator I feel the need to defend it – not just out of some paternal urge, but because I have always thought the line was rather good. Truthfully, when I wrote the first verse of ‘O Wow O Wow‘, I was so pleased, that I took the rest of the day off!
The opening verse is, of course, a recollection of my younger days with Anita – in this instance, she rises naked from our shared bed…”
You can read it in full here.

Okay. Well. More snow came yesterday. And now it’s super duper cold out there. But you know what???
Yesterday morning, absolutely out of the blue, my next door neighbors brought over TWO completely assembled cat houses, complete with plenty of straw inside each of them, and they put them on my kitchen porch!! The husband texted me: “We noticed that there are cats congregating on your porch. Hopefully this will help them stay warm.”
How nice is that??? I have one cat house out there already, but 3 cats.
I can’t tell you what that did to reducing my stress level instantansously.
And yes, this is the same man who dug a grave in my backyard for Lucie when she died this past summer. And it’s the same man whose home got COMPELTELY crushed when my enormous maple tree fell on their house during a mini tornado 3 summers ago.
What great neighbors.
This is such a amazing little village.
************
Well, the closer we get to the Inauguration, the less real news there is. It all seems to be about setting the stage for Trump to come back and change everything imaginable.
If you have the stomach for it, this was interesting. It’s from a couple of days ago but I finally had the chance to listen to it.

And I’m going to leave it at that. I have to look over some script notes from Peitor before I head out for my morning shift.

I leave you with this!
This came up on my “frequent playlist” while I was driving home last night, in the dark, in the snow. And missing New York. (See yesterday’s post about why I had to cancel my trip there next week.)
How interesting, right? From 1975 — in fact, I’ve mentioned this here before, but this song was released while I was committed to the mental hospital. At the lowest point in my life. I used to listen to it on the AM radio in my room. And within a mere 5 years, I was living one block from Broadway, married to one of the most interesting men I had ever met, who’d come all the way from Singapore!!
And this year, our play, “The Guide to being Fabulous,” will be produced (Off)-Broadway!!
Okay. Enjoy, gang. We never know what great things are right around the corner.
Well, it was with a very heavy heart that I had to cancel next week’s trip to NYC this morning.
Postpone is a better word than cancel, since I will likely be going to NYC several times in the coming year to work on the play Off-Broadway.
But for now — the weather both here and in NYC next week will be between 2 – 12 degrees Fahrenheit.
And while I can’t expect Valerie to run around in those kinds of temperatures when she has pretty severe arthritis, I also can’t leave my house unattended. My upstairs pipes will freeze if I don’t have a space heater blasting in the bathroom that whole time. And if I have a space heater blasting unattended for 3 days with 723 cats dashing around, I could risk burning the house down.
Even though I have a cat sitter, he won’t be staying here. He’ll just be stopping in to feed the cats and clean the litterboxes.
So. It broke my heart but, oh well.
On the up side, though — this gives me 3 days next week where I won’t have to work any caregiver shifts, so I can focus entirely on the TV pilot, plus we can extend the deadline by 3 days. So this is very good news.

Regarding other news…
There’s not much that’s new. Here’s this–

Yeah. I couldn’t resist it. Such a great video to go along with the song. Enjoy.
Well, since it’s my one day off per week, I wish that every day was Monday.
However, that said…
Wow, do I have a lot of work to do today. I’m trying to get a tiny bit of household chores done (bare minimum), because the script for the TV pilot is first and foremost on my desk. (Is that even, like, an actual sentence?)
When I awoke at 5:42AM — yes! I slept in!! — I found no less than 8 new files from Peitor in my inbox. So I need to read over all that before he and I have our Monday-marathon video chat on WhatsApp. Because, one week from today, the first draft of this script needs to be finished. And we still have 29 pages to go.
[And this is what’s NOT happening: I am not taking the laptop to NYC with me. I am not going there to work, but to just enjoy myself and have a good time. And I leave for NYC one week from tomorrow.]
So anyway.
************
The news.
You know, even though so much incredibly great stuff is happening as we approach the official Inauguration Day; for me, all of it is overshadowed by the horrors of LA. Even though I had really come to hate Los Angeles and everything it stood for, everything it had become, and I never intended to go back there, ever. I still can’t bare the sight of what has been unleashed there.
And I don’t for a minute believe it was “climate change” and simply “high winds”. I believe that in various ways, from start to finish, this was a manmade atrocity. Just like Lahaina was, in Maui.
And it just gets so hard for me to focus on good things when I know that so many innocent people and animals are suffering in the fallout of that.
************
Anyway.
Here are some items that were of interest. And then I’m gonna have to scoot.

Driving-home music from last night!
I love this song!! Rod Stewart, 1991, “Rhythm of My Heart.” From his album, Vagabond Heart.
You really gotta turn up the volume on this one, gang. It sounds so great — when it’s cranked up and you’re driving alone in the dark at 85 MPH, and the nearly-full moon is following you.
Oh, and a happy belated 80th birthday to Rod-the-Mod. Okay. Enjoy!
We’ve still got plenty of snow around here, but for whatever reason, I woke up at 3AM in the very best mood!
And then, around 5AM, when I stepped out onto the kitchen porch to feed my outside cats — wow, the moon looked incredible, peeking through the bare limbs of the trees across the way, and some stars were out and the sky was a perfect shade of deep blue, a couple of clouds floating around.
It was incredible. It really took my breath away.
And, ironically, for the first time in several weeks, I no longer felt like I was suffocating.
**************
Okay. I hope you’re feeling just as good wherever you are today.
I have a phone meeting with Peitor shortly, so this will be brief.
*************
On Friday, il donaldo trumpo posted the popcorn meme again! But I think he was referring to the lawfare thing, the fake sentencing. Nothing to do with LA.
WE’RE GONNA NEED MORE POPCORN!!!🍿🍿🍿 (20 seconds):
And then right after that — what happened?
Yes, Jack Smith “has resigned”.
BYE BYE, LOSER!!!🤣🤣🤣 (24 seconds):
Apparently, Jack Smith’s recent execution at Gitmo is interfering with his ability to show up for work…..
***************
And yesterday, Charlie Ward’s newsletter had more updates on the fake “climate change”.
[…] Headlines screamed about “mind-blowing” declines, with experts warning of catastrophic consequences for the planet. Yet, by the end of 2024, Antarctica’s sea ice extent was back to the 1981–2010 average, a sharp reminder of natural variability—something scientists understand but alarmists conveniently ignore.
[…] This isn’t the first time extreme highs and lows in Antarctic ice have been documented. Historical data shows similar fluctuations in the 1960s. Yet, media and activist scientists jump on short-term dips to fuel their Net Zero crusade, disregarding the cyclical nature of climate systems.
Even the British Antarctic Survey recently claimed 2023’s ice lows were a “once-in-2,000-year event” without climate change based on questionable computer models, of course. Unsurprisingly, mainstream outlets have ignored the 2024 recovery, just as they brushed aside coral reef growth that disproved prior doom-mongering.
This saga highlights how narrative-driven commentators twist transient weather events into crises, sidelining robust science for apocalyptic propaganda. Antarctica’s climate story, once a cornerstone of alarmism, is now a glaring example of natural variation overlooked in favour of Net Zero hysteria.”
