Before I get to the Visions of Sugar Plums and other psychedelic Christmas dreams, my Thanks and Special Recognition Award to “Timmy Taes” of “Timmy’s Substack” fame, for being the First to Buy Me A Coffee after weeks of posting those nagging little buttons. As frequently mentioned, BWW is a “Reader-supported” effort. While I remain reluctant to solicit financial $upport, voluntary contributions are appreciated for the time and effort invested, and whatever value you find here. Subscriptions remain Free as promised; Paid Subscriptions are purely voluntary, economical, and come with Special Features! The same is true for the Founders option. New stuff is in the works for 2025!
As Year II comes to a close, mega-thanks for reading (and listening). Special thanks to all the other Substackers who have recommended BWW. It’s good to be in the company of talented and dedicated writers.
As for the Sugar Plums…
As much as everyone except the Seriously Deluded and Deranged is looking forward to January 20th and the start of the post-Biden era, the deadline comes with more than a twinge of sorrow and anger.
Sorrow for the folks in Western North Carolina and other climes; anger for the unforgivable neglect and failure of State and Federal politicians, bureaucrats, and agencies with their imposition of deadly counterproductive regulations. Thanks to Alt Media, the naked incompetence and political prejudice of FEMA and the Red Cross have been starkly revealed.
Aide is still lagging in the dead of winter, but help is on location and more is on the way.
The greatest anger is reserved for Joe Biden and the puppeteers who ran his sham administration for 4 years; specifically, the pure evil of Barack Obama. While “without proof”, I am confident he and his “entourage” manipulated personnel and circumstances to fulfill his fantasy of a “third term”, with Joe Biden as the necessarily incompetent straw man. With the unexpected election of Donald Trump, the failure of Obama and ‘special interests’ to again steal the election, has resulted in the resentment and petulance one could expect from a racist and entitled man-child, his spouse, and various associates. The blatant disregard for people, property, human rights, Lawfare, and the dismantling of institutions and principles that historically supported the “American Dream” could only come from someone who intensely hated America and all it stands for. The evidence may be circumstantial, but – like the Mounties – “I’ve got my man”.
The Good News lies in the anticipation of January 20th. While the most cynical are holding their breath, they are still more positive than the last four years permitted - or would have been with a Democrat victory.
Lingering is the queasy feeling the catastrophe of the Obama-Harris loss still has serious retribution in mind. The “drone lies” and mass pardoning of the worst of the worst with no regard for the victims, their survivors, and abuse of the Rule of Law are the latest insults to the American sense of Justice. The installation of Donald Trump portends the worst of times is about to befall these Evil-Doers who have come this close to ruining America. Considering the economy and the financial straits the country and citizens are in, some delay in the inevitable may be the best to hope for.
So, here’s to Hoping!
Whatever your Holiday plans, Cassie and I – and even Gracie! – wish you great times with friends, family, and loved ones. Even if the Loved Ones are only One!
Thanks for reading this far!

If you want to see an Arctic Circle Video to put you in the Christmas spirit. Here is a video of Operation Blue Jay, the Building of the Thule, Greenland Air Base above the Arctic Circle. My maternal grandfather, John, worked on this project. He was a heavy equipment operator.
The base is still in operation as part of the USA Space Force.
