Parents who have the self-control to put down their phones and talk to their children advance the kids’ intellectual and emotional development in ways that the screen-obsessed don’t.

True Efficiency

A mega rich businessman was asked about the best way to cut costs and make a company efficient.

“The very best way is to close the company,” said the billionaire wistfully. “That’s when the costs go completely to zero.”

The administration of my university belongs to this school of business philosophy. They want to close it all down but they can’t do that outright so they dismantle it piecemeal.

What’s the Deal with Ireland?

Does anybody understand what’s happening with Ireland? They’ve gone off the deepest of ends but why? Why them specifically?

This is very unfortunate and sad. A formerly proud nation is turning into a frumpy, petty wokescold.

Offset Reset

To offset my Christmas turkey disaster, I cooked an amazing duck cassoulet today. I can’t eat it because it’s not diabetic-friendly but judging by my husband’s reaction, my cooking skills are back.

I’m going to do a kick-ass New Year’s table because I’m so embarrassed about my Christmas fiasco. Negative motivation is everything.

Universal Child Care

This is the universal free childcare promised by Zohran Mamdani:

Taxing remittances of any amount at 90% is crucial. But it’s not getting done.

Belated Admiration

Turns out that while I was away I missed the funniest development of the year. Trump tricked everybody into thinking that he was going to declare war on Venezuela so that people would tune into his speech and there would be motivation to watch and air it on the networks.

And, obviously, there was no declaration of war. Instead, everybody had to listen to Trump explain his economic policy. Good for him. The “war is coming” crowd deserves that and more. I’m loving this trick.

This is what being out of the country does to you. You miss everything that’s happening.

Same Groove

In the meantime, Democrats:

This is painful to watch.

Green Card Lottery

If you had to guess, would you say that in 2025 fewer or more people were chosen to come to the US through diversity visa lottery than in 2023?

In other words, has the Trump administration reversed the policy on handing out green cards through a lottery to increase the country’s diversity?

Consider the absolute disrespect for the concept of citizenship. It’s been turned into a lottery prize. Something so trivial and insignificant that you don’t need to even try to qualify. Surely, the Trump administration put an end to that, right?

Well, we all know I’m being funny on purpose. In reality, more diversity green cards were handed out by the Trump administration in 2025 than the Biden administration in 2023.

I’m very glad that Trump voters are getting exactly what they voted for.

The Last Russian Nationalist

People asked what happened to the Russian nationalists whom Putin didn’t manage to kill. One of them was White Rex. A hero who was killed in battle yesterday.

White Rex wasn’t a “neo-Nazi”. The name-calling should stop. He didn’t want white people to be wiped out but that’s hardly an extremist position.

White Rex correctly saw Putin as the author of the greatest genocide against whites in the twenty-first century. He was a brilliant guy. If there was a hope for Russia’s renewal, that was him and his movement.

The EU bureaucrats hated White Rex. He was banned in Germany, for example.

This was a guy who did not need to go to war. He was successful, educated, never had trouble making a living. But he saw the ethnic cleansing happening and wanted to stop it. He fought heroically on Ukraine’s side from the first days of the war.

I didn’t want to write about this because it’s painful. I heard White Rex speak many times. I had great hopes for his movement to restore Russian nationalism. This is a great loss.

But I’m seeing all the usual rat bastards use this opportunity to not only rubbish White Rex but to equate nationalism with Nazism. These are disgusting lies about people who only want to live peacefully in their own countries. Losers who would never have an ounce of White Rex’s bravery and patriotism are spreading these calumnies about the fallen soldier.
