Your Weekly American Top Ten List

U. S. Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) has issued his “Festivus Report,” replete with over $1 trillion in wasteful & unnecessary Federal spending. Seven of the examples below are from Sen. Rand’s report, but three were made up by your faithful editor. Guess which three are phony… it won’t be easy!  (see answers at bottom).

10. HHS spent $419,470 on a “study” to see if “lonely rats seek cocaine more than happy rats.”

9.  GSA and other agencies spend $10 billion annually on maintaining, leasing and managing empty and nearly-empty Federal office buildings.

8.   The Department of Agriculture granted Gavin Newsom’s “Plumpjack Winery” $7.1 million to encourage winemaking in central Greenland.

7.   The Department of State wasted $3 million on “Girl Centered Climate Action” in Brazil.

6.    The National Endowment for the Arts underwrote a “Bearded Ladies Cabaret,” featuring a show of crossdressers on ice skates, focused on climate change.

5.   At the encouragement of US Sen. Bernie Sanders, the Department of Commerce gave the Vermont state government $3.4 million to “encourage transgender New Englanders to become involved in the growing, sustainable maple syrup industry.“

4.   The Department of State issued $2.1 million to the nation of Paraguay for “border security.”

3.    The Department of Energy spent $15.5 billion to push Americans to buy electric vehicles, even if they cannot afford them or have no interest in them.

2.   DOT’s Urban Mass Transit Administration granted Hawaii $7.8 billion to initiate “under-the-Pacific” tunnels that will eventually connect all four of the state’s      most populous islands with subway and rail freight service.

… and the NUMBER ONE MOST EGREGIOUS EXAMPLE of WASTEFUL FEDERAL SPENDING is…

1.     A Florida man stole $8 million in Covid-19 relief funds to buy “Sweetheart Island” for himself, among other personal purchases.   

Numbers 8, 5 and 2 were NOT in Sen. Rand’s report, and are phony.   All the others are true, actual examples of Federal waste.

For the uninitiated who want to sing this version around their Christmas tree (also approved for Hanukkah celebrations), here is how the traditional “12 Days” is sung:  You sing each of the song’s 12 lines, in ascending numerical order.   But then you only repeat the “gifts” already received.  

For example:  Start the song with “On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me: a partridge in a pear tree.”  But here is how your verse would sound in mid-song:  “On the sixth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me: six geese-a-laying, five go-o-o-ld rings, four calling birds, three French hens, two turtle doves, and a partridge in a pear tree.”

 Try that format with today’s creation, below.  Note that singers are expected to dra-a-ag out the syllables on the gift of the “5th Day of Christmas,”in this case “Fi-i-ve Musks-a-trimming.”    

Now:   Your NEW 12 Days of Christmas….

On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me:

–   A Tim Walz fibbing to me

–   Two Cuomos Scheming

–    Three Doug Imhoffs leering

–   Four Trump sneakers selling

–    Fi-i-ive Musks-a-trimming

–      Six Biden pardons

–      Seven Kamalas cackling

–       Eight Putins rattling

–       Nine Hunters grinning

 –       Ten mics for Schumer

  –      Eleven million migrants

–     Twelve fake newspapers

10. “Saving our Democracy“  =    End Voter ID nationwide, pursue your opponents via the justice system, collude with Big Tech to suppress election info, get your political allies to knock your opponents off of state ballots, cripple the independent judiciary that has kept us free for 248 years.  

9.  “Investment”                         = What we call a new trillion-dollar spending idea, dreamt up by your young socialist staff aide.

8. “Middle class”                         =   The overtaxed people who need lots more from our welfare state…  for which we’re about to tax ‘em again.

7.  “Border security”                     =     Wave in over 10 million migrants (including killers, rapists and terrorists) into our nation, with no vetting…   but ‘truly hope’         they will appear at immigration hearings at some point after the Jets win a Super Bowl​.   Then claim you have a ‘compromise solution’ bill that will                ‘restrict’ illegal entries to ‘ONLY’ 1.8 million a year!

6. “Reproductive Freedom”          =  Contrary to prior Democrat policy of abortion being “safe, legal and rare,”  we want the North Korean right to kill human life,      right into the 9th month of pregnancy.

5. “Equity”                                          =     Hard work, intelligence, ingenuity, education and a bit of luck no longer matter.    You will be rewarded or punished based on  your identity.    Do you belong to an oppressed group, or an oppressor class?

4. “Climate Emergency”                  =    That’s the reason we have to impose unaffordable vehicles, huge tolls and more taxes on regular Americans, as ‘climate leaders’ command private jets to fly around the world, with the First Lady jetting to France merely for Olympics entertainment.

3. “Middle East Peace” =   Blame Israeli victims for being attacked and murdered.    Make billions of dollars available to Iran, then express outrage that their          missiles, cannons and drones are turned on Israel and US servicemen and ships.

2.  “Transparency”                                = Never subject yourself to an unscripted interview, tell the American people that Joseph Biden was ‘sharp,’ and conceal from    the public the truth: that the Biden family received tens of millions of influence-peddling dollars from strange, anti-American sources overseas.

…and the NUMBER ONE GLOSSARY ENTRY to REFERENCE DURING the PRESIDENTIAL DEBATES is…

1. “Affordable Housing”                         =   We will reach into your pocket to pay for new homes for lucky migrants and others.  Public housing developments will fail as they usually do, and your ‘investment’ may require demolition before long.

2.       Washington state will carry Kamala’s banner ​high, ​with maximum equity.    The state of Mount Rainier and spawning salmon is planning more “occupied             zones” that could serve as a “Western White House” for a president as wacky as we are!”

For the uninitiated who want to sing this version around their Christmas trees (also approved for Hanukkah celebrations), here is how the traditional “12 Days” is sung:  You sing each of the song’s 12 lines, in ascending numerical order.   But then you only repeat the “gifts” already received.  

For example:  Start the song with “On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me: a partridge in a pear tree.”  But here is how your verse would sound in mid-song:  “On the sixth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me: six geese-a-laying, five go-o-o-ld rings, four calling birds, three French hens, two turtle doves, and a partridge in a pear tree.”

 Try that format with today’s creation, below.  Note that singers are expected to dra-a-ag out the syllables on the gift of the “5th Day of Christmas,”in this case “Fi-i-ve impeach – ment probes.”    

Now:   Your NEW 12 Days of Christmas….

1. On the first day of Christmas, my true love game to me:

           –   “Cash for the Big Guy from Xi.”   (JEE)

2. On the second day of Christmas, my true love gave to me:

             –   “Two Cuomos groping.”

3. On the third day of Christmas, my true love gave to me:

       – “Three open borders.”

      4.  On the fourth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me:

       –  “Four Rashidas wailing.”

5. On the fifth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me:

   –  “F-i-i-ve impeachment probes.”

6. On the sixth day of Christmas, my true love to me:

    – “Six healthy justices.”

7. On the seventh day of Christmas, my true love gave to me:

       – “Seven spies for Swalwell.”

8. On the eighth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me:

         – “Eight million migrants.”

9. On the ninth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me:

          –  “Nine fake newspapers.”

10. On the tenth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me:

          –  “Ten FBI raids.”

11. On the eleventh day of Christmas, my true love gave to me:

           –  “Eleven trillion new debt.”

12. On the twelfth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me:

          – “Twelve wars out- breaking.”
