It’s New Year’s Resolutions Time

Time is running out on another year, traditionally the signal to make personal resolutions for next year. Around here, we do the resolution bit with a twist: We make resolutions for others. No need to thank us.

  • Johnstown’s Myopia 2025 should resolve to end it all a year early, having failed in various behind-the-scene maneuvers, not the least of which was to flood the area with Afghanistan refugees, the better to provide the Myopia elites with a source of relatively cheap labor for their various ventures.
  • American citizenry needs to resolve to do more to lock the spinning turnstile that is our southern border before the nation’s identity is lost. Already many European countries are coming to the realization they need to do something to stop mass immigration by people not looking to assimilate, but rather to subjugate the natives.
  • Clueless Joe Biden ought to resolve to attempt to go an entire month without doing or saying anything stupid.
  • Democrats ought to stop trying to save democracy by legislating away the opportunity of opposing candidates to run for political office.
  • Johnstown elites would do well to stop beating the tourism drum and admit publicly that stringing more lights along Main Street and paving Central Park is not the cure for the economic doldrums.
  • Penn State football coach James Franklin, fresh off a bowl embarrassment, might want to resolve to start winning some big games. Failing that, stop whining, as he apparently did to the broadcast crew of this year’s bowl fiasco, that he doesn’t have good enough players. Isn’t that the responsibility of the head coach, to recruit the talent? Most teams had players opting not to play in bowl games and, last time I checked, Penn State had no opt-outs vs. Ohio State or Michigan.
  • Our Pittsburgh Steelers, who find themselves needing the help of strangers in the final week of NFL play to slink into the playoffs, might resolve to do a better job next season of taking maximum advantage of a weak schedule and winning the apparent gift games.
  • The citizenry in general ought to resolve to learn more about current events, politics, world issues and the history of this great land. It’s more important for them to know who their Senators are than to know Taylor Swift’s current boyfriend.
  • Along that line, the citizenry might want to resolve to reacquaint itself with the ability to reason critically and stop believing the many absurd and blatant lies being spread by so many LameStream Media outlets.
  • Our Clueless Commander in Chief might resolve either to get our forces out of the Middle East (land, sea and air) or to take the shackles off them and allow them to respond with disproportionate force against all the rebel forces currently taking potshots at them. If this leads to action in Iran, so be it.
  • I’ll end with a final 2024 resolution for me, that being to buy more gold and silver (in physical or ETF form) as well as more precious metals mining stocks (individual or ETF) to help insulate me from the economic and social upset I see on our doorstep.
