During the Christmas Season I like to present a list of unique or unusual gifts I really wouldn’t want to receive under my tree some of your family and friends would surely enjoy.
Unfortunately, thanks to an economic recovery that for many doesn’t feel like one there really weren’t many choices to consider (also, those Holiday lists take awhile to create; I like my excuse much better).
So, this year my gifts to you are Memeories – easier to create, with at least 80% of the uniqueness or unusualness of the gifts i didn’t list. Or, you can review all my previous “Holidays are a Time for Giving” lists.
Enjoy, and Merry Christmas!

Seems every Christmas has a Grinch, and this year it’s the Teamsters Union at 8 Amazon delivery hubs and Unionized workers at 60 Starbucks locations in at least 12 cities nationwide. In case you’re curious, some Amazon workers already make about $30 per hour (over $60,000 per year), while Amazon subcontractors make about $22 per hour (over $48,000 per year). Pay at Starbucks ranges from $15.50 to $26 per hour for retail workers, plus benefits, and Starbucks already increased workers pay for 2025 despite having a bad year. Some might already consider those nice gifts.
Now we all know that Donald J. Trump, through hard work, risk-taking, and a little help from dad, is successful enough to not need his $400,000 annual presidential salary, and during his first term donated most of his $1.6 Million paycheck back to Federal Agencies (and you can to, if you click here). And it’s a gift that’ll keep on giving, as Trump ha promised to donate his salary from his second term to charities. Kudos to whoever created this meme, it wasn’t me.
I’m pretty sure the Theologians are with The Messianic Secret on this one, although some historians may beg to differ. What’s everyone can agree on is that I didn’t create this Meme.

Remember: The Christmas season is TWELVE DAYS LONG, starting today (it’s not from Black Friday to Xmas Day, despite what retail marketing says!)

I like playing “flowing pipe” games, where the object is to build a continuous pipe from pieces provided by the game to allow water to flow over some distance or to some destination, with the difficulty increasing as you complete each level.
Back on January 13, 2024 I wrote how while playing the game “Pipe Puzzle” I was able to create a continuous pipe which used every single space on the game board, for only the second time in 10 years, and wondered if it might take me less than 10 years to do it again..
Well, with 2024 almost at an end, I’ve “done it once again” in “Pipe Puzzle”.
A confluence of the game’s algorithm, my skill, and Lady Luck brought a smile to my face for a third time. Now, let’s see if I can take less than a year to do it a fourth time

“Pipe Puzzle” is an excellent re-creation of the classic LucasArts game and one of a number of arcade games and other software written by Brianna Rainey. Thanks, Brianna!

It’s been awhile since I’ve commented on a Breitbart Headline, not because there isn’t anything to comment about but rather nothing’s really caught my attention until now.
Of course, the article suggests Congress is being selfish and greedy by quietly sneaking a pay raise into the current Continuing Resolution spending bill needed to keep the Government funded and running smoothly.
But, let’s take a deeper look into what Breitbart didn’t mention:
“I’ll bet you the father probably pardons [Hunter Biden], let’s see what happens, but he’s a bad boy, there is no question about it.”
- former President Donald J. Trump, October 2024, to Fox News
“I said I abide by the jury decision. I will do that. And I will not pardon him. I’m extremely proud of my son, Hunter. He has overcome an addiction. He’s one of the brightest, most decent men I know. And I am satisfied that I’m not going to do anything.”
- Joe Biden, G7 summit in Italy, 13 June 2024
“Today, I signed a pardon for my son Hunter. From the day I took office, I said I would not interfere with the Justice Department’s decision-making, and I kept my word even as I have watched my son being selectively, and unfairly, prosecuted.”
- Joe Biden, Statement from President Joe Biden, 1 Dec 2024
Nowhere in Joe Biden’s Executive Grant of Clemency did he mention he promised he wouldn’t pardon his son, and Joe justified his change of heart by stating “Those who were late paying their taxes…but paid them back subsequently with interest and penalties, are typically given non-criminal resolutions.”
Compare that to former President Trump’s conviction on fraud charges for obtaining loans where no one testified they were harmed by his receiving the loans, and being fined $454 Million by a former cab driver turned “somewhat quirky” Liberal judge (Read the judge’s decision here).
Added Bonus: Unlike Hunter Biden, Trump was never a drug addict – Trump doesn’t even drink or smoke.
All this might be fine if Joe Biden’s only pardoned Hunter’s tax evasion and illegal gun possession. But Joe’s pardon covers EVERY CRIMINAL ACT his son “has committed or may have committed or taken part in during the period from January 1, 2014 through December 1, 2024“, and that would include…
