I can’t believe it’s only been a year since I failed to be a better person in 2024 as per my New Year’s resolution and subsequent promise last year.

To those of you who I offended in 2024, let me say this. Work on yourself so that it won’t be so easy to do it in 2025.

• The 2024 election is thankfully over. Politicians no longer need to travel to Midwestern farming states to speak. So Iowa farmers will have to go back to fertilizing their crops themselves.
• The NFL continued to have problems with its concussion protocols to reduce CTE (chronic traumatic encephalopathy). The situation was made worse by the trainers’ failure to use the standard question after the hit: “Who is the President of the United States running our country?” If a player said “I don’t know,” it was considered correct and the player was allowed to continue playing.
• Many left-wing myths have been dispelled in 2024. A common reason his statues were torn down was because Christopher Columbus brought sexually transmitted diseases to America. This was disproved by nature MmagazineScientist’s DNA test. In fact, Columbus brought syphilis back from America to Europe. I think I got it from a chick I picked up at the bar at the St. Augustine Holiday Inn when I asked, “Hey, do you want to see my boat?”
• Unable to present a rational policy to defeat Trump, the Democratic Party resorted to the usual attack that “Trump is Hitler.” Now, leftists are calling Elon Musk “Hitler” because he brought transparency to the quagmire of their beloved government. To be fair, Mr. Musk grew up in another country (not Austria), oversaw a rocket program, had a devoted following, and created a new type of car for the masses (not Volkswagen). . So they’re getting warmer.
• DEI has disrupted many institutions and companies. News, TV and film to lose 15,000 jobs in 2024 and push for woke policies. Double check your census numbers. From what I saw on TV, America is 92% LGBTQ, black or mixed-race couples. Movies are not realistic. In the last James Bond movie, the villain was still the guy who used plastic straws.
• Joe Biden ends his presidential term with the lowest favorability ratings in history. I’m glad Jimmy Carter was alive to see this. Joe Biden pardoned his son Hunter for 10 years after saying he would not do so. This encouraged Hunter so much that he went back to the Secret Service people at the White House and demanded the cocaine back.
• Biden received conspiracies from his party and then was taunted by Democrats that he should be on Mount Rushmore. Netflix plans to buy his film rights. Old Yeller The plot is complete.
• Bill Belichick has signed on to coach the University of North Carolina’s college football team. Many thought he would coach in the NFL, but UNC said he could live in a sorority with his girlfriend to make the contract more favorable.
• NIL (name, image, and likeness) money has reshaped college sports. We’ve spent more time debating the vagaries of who should be in the College Football Playoff than whether we should start World War III. Sexy LSU gymnast Olivia Dunn collected the most money of the NIL era, with $9.5 million. She is rich and good-looking. All President Trump could do was not appoint her to a Cabinet post.
• Alabama Crimson Tide players controversially qualified for the College Football Playoff on the couch in front of the television. I decided in my will that I wanted a pallbearer from the University of Tennessee so that he could disappoint me one last time.
• With wage inflation, self-checkout in stores has become popular. Security cameras have been added. Most of us don’t like it. Gen Z and Millennials in Hollywood love this hotel and drive an hour to Walmart. They don’t have enough access to self-checkout. In San Francisco, anything a thief can steal under $900 is free, and if you’re fast enough, anything over $900 is also free.
• Hoping to be the first President Kennedy to die of natural causes, RFK Jr.’s MAHA (Make America Healthy Again) initiative will take hold. We all eat and drink too much. I wish I could control it just once. Admittedly, I drink too much bourbon. My New Year’s plan is to drink a glass of water every other bourbon to give my liver a surprise.
• 2024 was a joyful year of party swapping for the Republican Party. Liz Cheney and her father, Dick Cheney, switched to the Democratic side, and the enlightened Democrat became a Republican. So we got Elon, Tulsi, RFK Jr. and the Democrats got Dick.
• President Trump’s cabinet confirmation hearings will be a good stage in 2025. Democrats may be shouting “wolf” too much and getting away with the deception. And Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s accuser Christine Blasey Ford recalled that Kash Patel and Pam Bondi were also at that high school party.

• The holidays can be stressful for families, so be patient. Three years ago, during the coronavirus pandemic, under Dr. Fauci, Gov. Tampon Tim Walz and others, local police could enter homes around holidays and force entire families out. Please remember that. Is this valuable government service still available or do I need to make a reservation?

Have a great vacation! I’m going to New York for a week. Does anyone have a fire extinguisher?
