The Washington Commanders hosted the Denver Broncos Sunday wearing their 1988 Super Bowl-winning uniforms, including Redskins insignia on the helmets and uniforms. I remember six years ago when the Redskins, the Indians and Braves all lost on the same day. It was Columbus Day.

The Farm Bureau reported the price of Thanksgiving turkey fell 5% from last year, but sweet potatoes were up 37%. Steak prices are high due to decreasing cattle supply and high demand. I always see more people walking into Sam's Club than out, but the meat is cheap so I don't ask questions.

President Trump and New York Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani were all smiles after their Oval Office meeting. Both Trump supporters and Progressives said they felt betrayed that their leaders hit it off so well. It proves once again that idolizing a politician is like believing the stripper really likes you.

The Daily Mail says the European Parliament received a report detailing the theft, robberies and burglaries now sweeping Europe. The Paris newspaper Le Monde on Sunday quoted police who reported that 90,000 snails were stolen from a French farm. Well, nobody thought they'd stage a breakout.

Congress will hold hearings with MLB and NBA players who conspired with the New York Mafia in a prop-betting scandal. For once Congress has the moral high ground. The players will be lectured about the evils of gambling by House Members who engage insider trading, which is not gambling at all.

Democratic Congresswoman Stacey Plaskett defended being coached by Jeffrey Epstein's texts while quizzing Trump's lawyer in 2019 House hearings. She called it taking a call from one of her constituents. Referring to Jeffrey Epstein as your constituent is like calling O.J. your marriage counselor.

Congressman Eric Swallwell declared he'll run for governor of California against Democratic frontrunner Katie Porter. Californians will elect either a guy who slept with a Chinese spy or a hot-headed woman who poured scalding hot mashed potatoes on her husband's head. May we choose wisely.

USA Today called Trump's 50-year housing affordability plan a way to mortgage Generation Z to death. If young adults can't afford a home there's always Plan B. A report says 75,000 homes in Los Angeles enjoy a view of the ocean or the desert or the mountains, it all depends on where you park it.

Chicago's Christmas tree lighting ceremony was marred by a gang shootout while the tree was being lit. The street celebration tallied 28 people wounded and four killed. The Chicago Police, in keeping in the spirit of the holidays, outlined the bodies on the ground with festive red-and-green tape.
