HOLLYWOOD--God Bless America, and how's everybody?

President Biden marked the first night of the eight nights of Hanukkah Sunday with a White House dinner ceremony with

Jewish friends. It's a beautiful annual ritual. The candle-lighted menorah was passed around the table to President Biden, who made a wish and blew out the candles.

Oklahoma Sooners coach

Lincoln Riley announced Friday he turned down the offer to coach at LSU despite a $100 million offer. Then on Sunday, he upended the college football world by announcing he's leaving OU to coach at USC. It's the most shocking news about Lincoln since 1865.

Arizona State University student protestors called for freshman Kyle Rittenhous­e to be kicked out of school this week. The students told reporters they fear for the safety of their lives. Oh, for crying out loud, he's an online student living thousands of miles away. He's not THAT good of a shot.

The New York trial of Jeffrey Epstein's alleged pimp Ghislaine Maxwell got underway in the U.S. Federal Courthouse in Manhattan Monday. Much is on the line. If convicted, Ghislaine Maxwell could get twelve-to-sixteen years, and that was the assignment that got her in trouble in the first place.

Parents magazine recommende­d the Amazon Holiday Toys List as a place to e-shop for fifteen hundred children's toys. It's tense this year. If your kids wake up Christmas morning and find no toys under the tree, tell them Santa left them there, but a looting mob followed him down the chimney.

The White House vowed to pull out all the stops to halt the spread of the Omicron variant. The president just shut off the Mexican border and cut off all African flight arrivals. It appears that the Corona Virus is mutating faster than the Democratic Party, and is actually ahead in the latest poll.

Dr. Fauci went on ABC to sound the alarm bell about the Omicron variant Sunday and then he declared he is science. He needs some lessons in cool. For instance, I am Incorrigib­ility, but I don't go around bragging about it, I simply do what I want and let my incorrigib­ility speak for itself.

South Africa virologist­s told the BBC the Omicron variant is very mild but neverthele­ss Joe shut off all travel from Africa and closed the Mexico border. I get what he's doing. Last week Joe Biden said he was running for re-election, but he didn't mention he's running as a Republican.

President Biden was denounced by the UN and South Africa for closing air travel from Africa over the Omicron variant. Relax, we've weathered the Delta and the Lambda variant and we'll get past the Omicron. We won't be in real trouble until Dean Wormer places us on Double Secret Variant.

Senate Republican­s vowed a crackdown on the power of social media arbiters to cancel people over their political posts. Coincident­ally CEO Jack Dorsey announced Monday he's resigning from Twitter. He said he wants to spend more time at home telling his family what they can and cannot say.

President Biden revived Trump's policy of blocking migrants in Mexico, but that didn't stop everybody. On Sunday a Guatemalan was arrested at Miami Airport after he flew to the U.S. inside the wheel well of an American airliner. If nothing else, it points to American's poor rewards program.

House Republican­s ripped the social spending bill for doling out trillions that the government will simply print. The Omicron variant arrived right on time. It's the responsibi­lity of government to convince taxpayers they might die of corona virus when they are really going to die of hyperinfla­tion.

Saskatchew­an University professor and Canada Native American activist Carrie Bourassa was outed by colleagues who say she's faking her Indian heritage. Last summer, she made a tribal pilgrimage to Oklahoma where a mosquito bit her. And just like that, there went all her Indian blood.
