A new paid holiday? Prob not.

>>NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim February 9, 2025, as Gulf of America Day. <<

DC Comics foreshadowed Elon Musk with eerie accuracy. Supervillain Lex Luthor, the evil uber-capitalist and captain of the Legion of Doom, has been plotting to rule the world throughout the Superman saga ... without success until, perhaps, right now. Superman, where are you?

Elon Musk has apparently staged a semi-coup in taking possession of much of our nation's sensitive data. Has anyone even noticed?

Good news! The sun is now rising before 8 a.m. and setting after 5. Let's take hope wherever we can find it.

I love Jeff's daily bulletins and weekly summaries! Thanks for helping us remember how to grin, even now.

If posting the 10 Commandments in every ND classroom will improve kids' moral character, let's not waste them on only the young. Let's laminate a copy atop the desk of every legislator in Bismarck. After all, what's good for the little chicks must be even better for those old roosters.

I've been looking for ways to remove myself from Zuckerberg's herd of cash cows while maintaining the connections I value on FB. This appears to be one step in that direction.

The ND Legislature is considering a bill to reinstate Sunday closing -- those notorious blue laws. On behalf of Moorhead merchants: Do it. Do it. Do it.

How many of them are the female equivalent of the handsome male-ish variety who start with a message, "Hello, dear?"

A Better Plan Than Trump’s: Let’s Surrender to Canada! It’s a much sweeter deal. More social mobility, more representative government, plus everybody gets health care.

He'll make the US a worldwide pariah by Valentine's Day.

Look who's schmoozing with the Terror Twins.

I've always believed immigration is good for our country ... until Elon Musk.

No matter how much America drills, it will NEVER affect the price of gas at the pump. American refineries can't process the frakked oil America produces. So we will ALWAYS be buying foreign oil for our vehicles.

Repos never talk about this. That's the dirty little secret behind "drill baby drill."

And then the world never seemed quite the same.

At this moment 61 years ago, I was in typing class at Streeter High School. We'd rotated typewriters that week, and I'd finally gotten one of the electric models. Bare tree branches were scritching against the window. Principal Wetzel's voice came over the intercom with the news. ...

Apparently because the girl was ... female.

I just signed up to the (paid) Borowitz Report. I have a feeling I'm going to need as much humor as I can gather in the days ahead.

Forum Communications' edict banning "non-local" topics from the opinion page has ruined it. They might want to pick out a new corporate name. They have stripped that much-read feature of its ability to be a "forum," not to mention their loss of some of their very best writers.

Tr*mp isn't assembling a cabinet. He's casting a reality show.

No matter how tender the spring, how vibrant the summer, or how gorgeous the fall ... on mornings like this, it seems like it's always been winter.
