Short Takes
Headline from nypost.com: “The Odd Couple: Trump and Musk seem poised to reconcile — and just might save Western civilization.” Sad that it has come to need saving.
And a sign of trouble for DT. From NYP: “Majority of Hispanic GOP voters say prez’s policies are ‘harmful’ — up double-digits from first term: poll.”
Headline from foxnews.com concerning DC: “Mayor Bowser ends reign after admitting Trump’s federal officers helped reduce crime.” Thank you, Madam. I know it must have hurt to say it.
The term “illegal orders” seems to give Dems a legal out for their treason. OF course, not one order has been cited. Politics as usual.

From FN: “Gas prices fall to lowest in years as Americans hit the road for Thanksgiving.” Yay!
Valid or bulloney? New book:
First good sales day in a while for the Anti-Inflation Book Shop. My thanks to the woman who donated two packages of adult diapers, and to all the buyers. Here’s what sold: a Batman illustrated book, three paperbacks in Russian, a volume of The Babysitters Club by Ann M. Martin, Resurrection by Danielle Steel, Cross Down by James Patterson and Brendan DuBois, Five Patients by Michael Crichton, and Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern. The highlight of the session was the return of The Frenchman, who bought a translation of Crowds and Power by Elias Canetti. He is one of the few customers who would opt for such weighty work. He’s been battling cancer and will return to Paris permanently. I thanked him for his support and wished him well.
