Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) has donated her entire $12.9 million raised through book deals, speaking engagements, and grassroots fundraising to a homeless housing initiative in New York City. The funds will help build 150 affordable housing units. 👉 brightmove.forum/.../breaking....

I see here is not one NFL game on network TV today. A Prime or Netflix subscription is required to watch. In the past there were a game or two on network TV. This is getting to be ridiculous. Don't they have enough money already or do they need more tax cuts.

My warmest wishes to all of you for a beautiful Christmas Day full of love, laughter, and happiness!🎄♥️ I am grateful today and every day for the gifts of your friendship and support.

Thursday's Thought -

Sending three ghosts tonight to fuck up Stephen Miller.

Continuing vacations and Christmas time with boardgames. Several plays of “Duel for Cardia” with kids today (that was one of their presents). What a small, neat and interesting design. We shall play more tomorrow!

Merry Christmas! Let me welcome you to a traditional Quiz which this year will again be enhanced with a Giveaway! Enjoy! Link: theboardgameschronicle.com/2025/12/25/t... @gmtgames.bsky.social @phalanxgames.bsky.social @djackthompson.bsky.social @markherman54.bsky.social @cube4me.bsky.social

JUST IN: CBS’s Kennedy Center Honors just hit an all-time ratings low. Preliminary Nielsen data shows only ~2.65M viewers tuned in to the Trump-hosted show, down from 4.1M in 2024. A stunning 35% year-over-year collapse.

I am an ex-catholic but I do support this appeal!

JD Vance Has Nearly Completed His Quest to Become the Most Unlikable Person in Politics - Esquire

EXACTLY 👇 THIS

Christmas Eve Thought - The founding fathers were all wealthy men, yet they risked life, wealth, etc. for a Liberal Democratic Republic. Today's wealthy want to take away rights, and create a Fascist state.

Well, genius, a President is a politician. The fact you trust a pathologically lying, narcissistic, sociopath tells me a great deal about your poor choices.

"Any document that the DOJ releases that makes Donald Trump look bad is not true. Also, any economic statistic that makes Donald Trump look bad is Joe Biden's fault."

Vacations time to start! No more work till after New Year! How to start? Slowly, Battle of Hoth with Kids. Such a great game for young adepts of Wargaming! #wargames #boardgames

I have reached 18,000 followers. Thanks to all who have followed me. My hope is my comments and reposts are of value. A question for the 12,000 I followed who have not followed back as is the etiquette on Bluesky? Why not?

Tuesday's Thought - The NYTimes is trumpeting 4.3% GDP growth. What they fail (in the headline) is that the lions share of growth comes from AI spending. That money will not find it's way to the broader economy. And most is investment and construction costs that are short lived.

(📢) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: We have the text of the note referenced by Rolling Stone, and in it Epstein makes among the last words he committed to paper the revelation that Trump was obsessed with "young, nubile girls" and regularly sexually assaulted them.

ICYM, there is still time to get your boardgames Christmas presents! Some ideas below. Hurry-up! Link: theboardgameschronicle.com/2025/12/19/t... @gmtgames.bsky.social @fgradaille.bsky.social @volko.bsky.social @joedewhurst.bsky.social

Keep this going

Unredacted…👇 Enjoy. 😎✨

Megyn Kelly is such a devout Christian that she doesn't skip over the first one when she's breaking the Ten Commandments.

From 2018 to 2024, the tax rate paid by eight major retailers was slashed from 30% to just 17.5%. The CEOs of those major retailers were paid a collective $1.3 billion. Meanwhile, the average worker at those stores was paid less than $32,000 in 2024. Nothing trickled down.

Monday's Thought - Blanche said they have to hide pictures and other evidence to protect the victims. Yet, the victims are known. Oddly the pictures not only include victims whose face could be hidden, they contain those who were assaulting them. Who is the DOJ really protecting?

Republicans help force a vote on ACA subsidies. Trump’s denial about the economy keeps falling flat. Democrats surge again in a Kentucky special. And amid last weekend's horrors, a hero at Bondi Beach reminds us what decency looks like. A much-needed look at this week's bright spots.

'Cannot let that happen!' Mike Johnson warns Trump will be impeached if GOP loses midterms www.rawstory.com/2026-midterm...

Trump says Venezuela stole U.S. oil, land and assets. Here’s the history. Read in The Washington Post: apple.news/Aq0aTtK6OQ8K... ‼️

It took some time before Total War: ROME – The Board Game become fully playable title. But once it did, it is really fun to play. Let me present today this position in more details - enjoy! Link: theboardgameschronicle.com/2025/12/21/s... #wargames #boardgames #tabletop @totalwar.bsky.social

Sunday's Thought - Mike Johnson decided to adjourn the House for the Holidays. Thus preventing a vote on the ACA and any action on the DOJ Epstein files coverup. Recall 4 or 5 Republicans signed the ACA discharge petition requiring a vote. The very same Republicans then voted to adjourn. Get it?

Saturday's Thought -

Another example of why John F. Kennedy's name should never be sullied by association with Donald J. Trump's. While JFK used his father's influence to serve even though he had real medical issues, Trump did the opposite and used his father's influence to *avoid* serving even though he did not.

Like this post if you want God to grant thy Christmas wish 😂

This is what Trump calls transparency.

Tapper: This is one of the documents the DOJ released. It’s 100 pages. It’s all black. That’s the transparency we’re getting.

This is a great insight.

Friday's Thought -

I have just demanded a full refund for remaining tickets at the Kennedy Center. I did not buy anything at the "Trump Kennedy" Center. I encourage you to do the same #refundKennedy

We are getting even more sneak previews for Costal Watchers in latest @gmtgames.bsky.social Monthly Update (see here: mailchi.mp/6cffdc0345cf...). That game by @volko.bsky.social is one of my top anticipated wargames of 2026!

Huge news for all Commands & Colors fans in the recent @gmtgames.bsky.social Monthly Update (see here: mailchi.mp/6cffdc0345cf...). Practically whole Napoleonics will be reprinted in two, combined sets. Great to see the series still supported!

This is mental illness.

Suozzi: "In my district, if you make $130,000 & you're a family of 4, you now pay 8.5% of your income for health insurance - $10k to $11,000 a year. That's gonna go up to $30k a year, which means your premium is going to increase $1,500 a month. That's crazy. People are not gonna buy the insurance"

It’s okay to mock nazis for their appearance because they want you all dead.

Thursday's Thought - The Felon stood in front of the entire world and lied last night. He said the economy is Biden's fault. Ignoring the fact the compliant GOP has controlled every branch of the Government close to a year. They own it. At least he didn't declare war on Venezuela.

Trump's tariffs are making home building materials like lumber, copper, aluminum, and steel more expensive — and could result in 450,000 fewer homes being built over the next five years. Yet another way they're making your life worse.
