If you’re not familiar with DAMAC Properties, they’re the company that one of its board members paid Alexander Smirmov $600K to lie to the FBI about the fictional Biden Ukraine bribery scam. Smirnov was James Comer’s top secret witness and is now in FBI custody. Corruption. pic.twitter.com/xxojYRdUTj

 You mean he doesn't stop whining.  If you do not know who Smirnov is, he is the former FBI informant who accused President Biden and his son Hunter of taking a $10 million bribe from Ukraine and was sentenced to 6 years in prison today.  After Smirnov was charged with lying about the bribe, he admitted the information came from ruzzian officials.  donOLD will probably pardon the p.o.s. but facts matter.  Feces you maggat republitards. The cult of 45 will not save you.  It will not go better with Coke.  It will not get rid of the nubs either.  

 

Speaking of jokes  

From the Online Etymology Dictionary: Trump (v.): "fabricate, devise," 1690s, from trump "deceive, cheat" (1510s), from Middle English trumpen (late 14c.), from Old French tromper "to deceive," of uncertain origin. Apparently from se tromper de "to mock," from Old French tromper "to blow a trumpet." Brachet explains this as "to play the horn, alluding to quacks and mountebanks, who attracted the public by blowing a horn, and then cheated them into buying …." The Hindley Old French dictionary has baillier la trompe "blow the trumpet" as "act the fool," and Donkin connects it rather to trombe "waterspout," on the notion of turning (someone) around. … Trumped up "false, concocted" first recorded 1728.
Thus to "trump" meant "to forge, fabricate, deceive or cheat" (as in the expression "trumped up.")  Quacks and mountebanks attracted attention by blowing a horn, then swindling people. The older term also had connotations of mocking and playing the fool. Does any of this ring a bell?

Here is today's The Math Contest question of the day.

Easy squeezy lemon peezy.  In my hurry I forgot to subtract 1.  Penalty box.

Here is my solution to yesterday's The Math Contest question of the day.

Forgot to mention that I finished first for the month of December.  That is three months in a row, but with my start this year I will not make it a fourth month unless I catch fire and get some help.

I was second overall for the year.  That is up from fifth in 2023.  

Today's pic of the day is from  December 30 2024 watching the last game of the season.  Lion's victory over the Vikings.

Rather than a song I decided a funny video from Jimmy Kimmel about Flo Rida.
