We have a neighbor who is recovering from a knee replacement. The woman who was staying with her for the first week had family Christmas time, so my wife filled in for about five days. Stayed over night and so forth.
My wife had taken an ice spill when delivering meals on wheels, so I would occasionally visit to do what heavy lifting was necessary Cooked some entrees and had dinner with them.
Christmas day, took an elderly woman in our church to Christmas services. Had lunch, dialed up Robert Shaw Chorale doing Christmas carols they way the should be done, got out a low-end bottle of wine and was grateful my wife and I had enough left that we could give something–drive, help, carry, mini home fixing, so forth.
First time alone on Christmas in about…my whole life.
But, as we used to say, if you have indoor plumbing, everything else is gravy.

Not “kapos,” more like comisars or political officers (from that other socialist totalitarian regieme); assigned to maintain ideological purity, compliance, and obediance to the Party.

Not sure of the current status, but for a long time Medi-Cal was provided to illegals on a county by county basis. And the county had to provide at least some of the funds. Mine has many farm workers & has done so for at least 30 years.

Yes, it would have to be Iran… the dog that didn’t bark—or rather the dog that doesn’t stop barking, but to whose threatening, sickening yelps “Biden” prefers to play deaf…because that’s “his” dog in this fight even if he’d rather not admit it…after all there’s an election to “win” in less than a year…and “he” needs “his” Jews to stay onside until then. (After that “he” can shaft ‘em…)

@ David — thanks for all the useful links in your post. I’ve noted a couple of them on the thread for “Another poll” beginning here.

Addendum to @ Barry > “(OK, now let’s do AI!)”
Even ore worrying than the deep fakes —

By “explicit” they don’t mean “characteristic of innocent childhood.”

@ Barry > “maybe this is so obvious that she didn’t have to”

Already well-known to her readership.
As was a lot of her analysis, of course, being the political junkies that we are, but she brings in reports and background that I usually haven’t seen, haven’t connected, or plain don’t have access to.

IMO Abraxas is correct: Israel is going to have to ignore Biden Inc and get done what needs doing.
Which may include bombing Iran’s nuke facilities sooner rather than later.

“Gallant says Israel being attacked from seven sides, has hit back at six”
He didn’t name the “missing” hit; Iran may be the one. I confess to having lost track of all the attacks and counter-attacks going on.

I didn’t have Armageddon on my bingo card for this year.

The NYT editorial page is written by American Kapos. They are evil. Period.
