“I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus!”

Democrats Call for Santa to Step Down

“Merry Christmas, Utah!”

Here’s your land back!  No longer protected by the federal government as national monuments designated by two past presidents, the Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante national monuments are now officially up for grabs.  You can now fight it out among yourselves as how best to destroy it, or um, “use it.”

Women and Predators 

The Elizabeth Smart story is repugnant and frightening.  The underside of this evil is fathomless regarding both depth and comprehension.  Thousands of young women worldwide are enduring similar and much worse abuse by male predators every day.  As brutal and cruel, and bizarre, as was Elizabeth’s experience, she was lucky.  Many of these women, thousands, are abducted, brutalized, raped, mutilated, killed, and discarded. 

We seem to be confused these days more than ever about sex, sexuality, sexual abuse, indiscretions and improprieties.  It’s the perfect psychological environment for political weaponry.  

Al Franken made a dumb, sophomoric move, usually remedied by a slap in the face or a kick you know where, but he is no predator.   

(Predator:  a person or group that ruthlessly exploits others).

"Wherever standing armies are kept up, and the right of the people to keep and bear arms, is under any colour or pretext whatsoever, prohibited, liberty, if not already annihilated, is on the brink of destruction." (St. George Tucker)

If the GOP wants Democratic support for its tax cut/"tax reform" bill, the GOP should be willing to see that the "windfall" from their tax cut goes to the workers who have not benefited from the rising stock market and high profits currently being generated for the CEO's and stockholders.

The minimum wage should immediately go up to $10 and hour and rise $1 each year until it reaches $15.  Thereafter, the law should read that the minimum wage is tied to the inflation rate, rising and falling according to that fixed percentage.

Why Pardon A Turkey?

Dear Editor:

President Trump is getting his pardon pen ready, as the Muller investigation starts indicting his associates. This Wednesday, he plans to practice on two very innocent Minnesota turkeys.

The other 244 million turkeys killed in the U.S. this year have not been so lucky. They were raised in crowded sheds filled with toxic fumes. Their beaks and toes were clipped to prevent stress-induced aggression. At 16 weeks of age, slaughterhouse workers cut their throats and dumped them in boiling water to remove their feathers.

A Big Hand for the Little Lady!

First Lady, that is.

First, let me say that I think Melania Trump is terrific.  She’s beautiful, and I’m sure charming in any situation.  She speaks well for America.  Kind of like Zsa Zsa Gabor.
