   The Federalist Society founded by Leonard Leo, which authored Project 2025, is an ultra conservative wing of Catholicism with enormous societal influence [google total USSC and other federal justices associated with The Federalist Society, for the primary example of influence they’ve wielded to date) which not onlydoes not authorize, but adamantly opposes, the content of today’s comic.

   Trump and his closest allies are merely carrying out Federalist Society (founder and current leaders of which are Catholics) dictates.

   The number of ‘stupid’ voters/citizens will not change if public education is replaced with all private (church) schools. The number of right wing Christian indoctrinated voters/citizens, on the other hand, will skyrocket.

   The climatologist community, since their initial announcements of AGW Climate Change, have stressed that failure to adequately respond to this issue by reducing CO2 parts per million (ppm) to well below 400 results in existential risks for not just humans and other animals, but ALL surface life forms on Earth. Pre-industrial (prior to 1800 CE) ppm level was ~280, presently it is 420 in its 225th consecutive year of an annually increasing rate.

   Happy Holidays beginning around Nov 15. Happy Thanksgiving beginning the weekend before Thanksgiving. Back to Happy Holidays the day after Thanksgiving, and staying with that phrase until around Dec 15 when it is replaced with Merry Christmas. Staying with MC until New Year’s Eve, when Happy New Year takes stage front and center. The day following Jan 1 begins a 1-2 week period of gradually diminishing numbers of Happy New Year’s each and every day until zero are proffered.

   How it was from my first memories back in the late 50’s, how it still is in many communities — despite the best efforts of very conservative Christian purist’s to impose 6-8 weeks of societal dominance (suppression/oppression) between ~ Nov 15 – ~ Jan 15.

   And Christian idealistic “purity” societal dominance 24/7/365 if there ambitions of absolute rule are at long last realized. They’re in a very strong position presently as a result of the most recent election.

   There is no telling how successfully US medical/research entities would have been if a pathogen resulting from thawing/melting on Earth’s surface appears, but the odds of a positive outcome from a possible epidemic unleashed by one of the unknown number which may soon appear is perhaps orders of magnitude lower than favorable odds resulting from the 47/GOP ongoing attacks against science and critical thinking.

   Now, they DO remain quite permissive with science utilized to further enrich the already obscenely wealthy, or used to devise improved/enhanced weaponry to wield against proponents/practitioners of the previous two-going-on three centuries of the liberal democracy experiment/project.

   Onward oligarchy! All praise reshaping the USA into a society fashioned after the model of 16th century European Christian church-state feudalism! Natural order!

    Pseudo intellectual: the leader of the DOGE team, and also every underling member he recruited and signed aboard. As well as his ostensible “superior” who lives in the White House, and to whom he (supposedly) is subordinate.
