With all that money that's pouring into TSF's inauguration fund,

it's too bad he still won't be able to get any other talent than the likes of Lee Greenwood, Kid Rock, or The Village People to perform....

Thin-skinned Trump getting annoyed by Elon's oversized involvement....

He's having his aides call journalists to say that Elon is following his (TSF's) orders....

Will Elon be the first American Oligarch to go the way of Russian Oligarchs who "fall" out of favor with the dick-tator????

Co-President Musk

I think that would get under tsf's skin even more than the other trending titles.

And it would diminish Musk's status in the matter....

No wonder Trump and his Bitcoin goons are not happy with Jerome Powell.

He actually follows the law....

Fed Chair Jerome Powell Says, 'We're Not Allowed to Own Bitcoin' Amid Trump’s Push for Bitcoin Strategic Reserve


Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell has ruled out the possibility of the central bank adding Bitcoin to its balance sheet, citing legal restrictions under the Federal Reserve Act.

Powell addressed the issue during a Dec. 19 press conference, emphasizing that the Fed is not pursuing any legislative changes to alter this position.

"We’re not allowed to own Bitcoin. The Federal Reserve Act says what we can own, and we’re not looking for a law change," Powell said. "That’s the kind of thing for Congress to consider, but we are not looking for a law change at the Fed."

Two business people I heard yesterday expressing apprehension over the coming administration:

1. A business woman I know was talking with a friend at a Mexican buffet restaurant where I was also getting my lunch. The business woman was explaining that she was manufacturing something (didn't hear what) in Mexico, but because of how "wrong the election went," and with anticipated tariffs on everything from Mexico, they don't know what the future of that product line will be....

2. I attended the city council meeting last night, and a young man (who had said on FB that he would be voting for Trump) was presenting a grant proposal for a recycling business he wanted to start and wanted the city's endorsement of his proposal. Because the proposal is due Thursday into the federal agency, the council in general said they wouldn't have time to review it, so suggested he wait unitl the call for proposals next year. There was one council member (pretty sure he's a Trumper) who said he's be available anytime before the deadline on Thursday to review it, but the mayor (sure she's a Trumper) inquired if there would be the grant program next year, to which the young man shrugged his shoulders and said, "Don't know with the Trump administration." All three, being Trumpers, just looked at each other with awkward grins on their faces....It appeared to me to be a tacit admission that they recognized an uncertain future ahead (and an attempt to take advantage of the current, more friendly environment for small businesses).

I'll be cooking all day tomorrow.

As usual, I volunteered to bring more than my share to the Thanksmas gathering of friends on Sunday....

But I love to cook, and I love to make everything from scratch.

Here's my contribution to the dinner:

Mashed potatoes and gravy (Will make the gravy and prep the potatoes tomorrow.)
Sweet potatoes (Will bake them.)
Green Bean casserole (Will use a cream of celery soup as the base, which I will make tomorrow, as well as prep the fresh green beans.)
Cranberry sauce. (Just finished cooking the cranberries. The other ingredients - mandarin oranges and chopped walnuts - will be added tomorrow, and the sauce stored in the fridge overnight.)

Prepped potatoes and green beans will keep in water overnight for cooking on Sunday morning.
