Year in Review
Twenty-twenty-five is coming to a close and it’s time to take a moment to reflect. Did your actions make your world better or worse? How come all the children and puppies have those smiles on their faces? What subject or themes came up most often when you watched the news? The theme I see most is that we are on an accelerationist path to biblical Armageddon — something Christian fundamentalists like Mike Huckabee hope the Chosen People will finely bring.
But people have always been saying that modern day is the worst time ever, right? The 80s were so much worse than the 50s people would say.
A few random things:
My two favorite films this year were both political: Eddington and One Battle After Another. They make a great double bill, and it looks like Battle is headed for the Oscars. Eddington — about how 2020 twisted the minds of Americans — is the better of the two; it ridicules democrats, mocking the arbitrary nature of COVID restrictions and faux anti-racism. It also mocks the conspiratorial mind of conservatives who seem oblivious to the fact that corporate tyranny IS the conspiracy — and they are the it’s biggest dupes. All characters have their play-dough minds molded by on-line culture and it’s easy to relate.
Twenty-twenty was the year we took that red pill but we just got put in a Matrix that was worse than the one before. Now in 2025 I’m on a strict diet of hopelessness and black pills and it’s making my tummy ache.
But no, my natural demeanor is one of calmness and I feel fine.
I took a vacation to Puerto Rico this year. Funny, instead of giving us fun nature facts the rainforest tour guide just complained about how the economy sucked and how bad everything was because America wouldn’t make Puerto Rico a state. That country has no infrastructure – no trains or light rail -- its just Uber drivers circling American fast-food joints. It’s the worst of capitalism — economic oppression without representation. You can’t get away from politics, at least not until you find yourself with a beer wading in warm water with bioluminescent fish.
I saw a year in review issue of Time Magazine on the supermarket shelf. I leafed through it and noticed every single take on every single political subject was wrong. According to them the Gaza thing is really terrible but we can all let out a sigh of relief now because the hostages have been released. The worst part is over according to Time. I’m too busy this year but next year Johnny Pissoff’s year in review should be a take down of Time’s. And then maybe I can crap on the entertainment year in review in People magazine.
My cat died of hyperthyroidism. I spent a lot on vet pills but couldn’t get it under control. But I found a an abandoned kitten by my work. It was a Christmas miracle. Even-Steven. The circle of life.
I’m a big music guy. Next year I want to do more music-centric content. Amyl and the Sniffers was the wildest concert I went to this year. All exciting rock, no pop, no naval gazing. Okay Kaya’s Psych Ward was one of my favorite songs of the year. The poor depressed girl got put on a psych hold and wrote a catchy jingle about it. I was going to see Carsie Blanton in concert this year but that was cancelled. She was one of the people who was aboard the food aide flotilla that was headed towards Gaza. They were abducted in international waters and abused in an Israeli prison. She needed a moment to recover from this and canceled her show. I look forward to seeing her in 2026.
Above: Carsie Blanton sings “Free Palestine” to the tune of “Sweet Caroline.” Pretty clever.


And why couldn’t I see Kneecap and Bob Vylan on tour this year? For the same reason I heard of them in the first place.
You know what I’m getting at. Israel, Israel, Israel.

I just saw a clip of Bill Maher -- he seemed quite indignant -- he is upset that the Muslims are mass murdering Christians in Nigeria. Why aren’t people upset about this, he asks. Why aren’t the students protesting this Islamic atrocity, he wonders. I’ll tell you why Bill, Nigeria did not just buy CBS and Tik Tok in order to censor speech and push propaganda trying to make people think it’s ok for them to mass murder Christians. The Nigerians are doing this murdering with guns and machetes they bought with their own money. My tax dollars are not going to pay for this genocidal project. And if a student did protest this you know what would happen? Nothing. Because Nigeria does not have a Super Pac to buy politicians that will order cops to crack their skulls. And people are not going to lose their jobs because those same politicians passed a law that equates criticizing Nigeria with racism. Are we bombing any countries on behalf of Nigeria? Didn’t think so.
And one other thing. Ten seconds of googling brings me to an Aljazeera page that directly refutes his claims. Oh Bill, is anyone fuller of shit than you?
Well after I wrote the above paragraph I was reminded that Donald Trump is more full of shit than Bill Maher. Apparently he gets his Nigerian news from the same place Maher does and he used that intel to bomb the hell out of Nigeria on Christmas day. Just what America wanted for Christmas: to kill Muslims on behalf of Christians.

I’ve had to go out and touch the grass a lot this year just to get Israel off my mind because it’s not a foreign policy issue, it’s an everything issue and is making the life of every human on this earth worse.
I needed a funny hook for the video so started with the alpha dog Trump Vs. Bibi thing. But that is only the first third of the video. The rest lament’s American (and European) total capitulation to this satanic force. Hannukah has always been a benign holiday that goes on in the background for me. That’s what it should be, just a holiday – no big whoop. But when I see bipartisan members of congress lighting a menorah this year it doesn’t mean nice holiday anymore – it means subservience to the death cult.
I’ve had some great vacations in Thailand, but I hear Israeli tourists are so obnoxious and ruining the open society vibe that the locals are putting up NO ISRAELI signs. If someone has done a tour in the IDF and taken part in institutionalized mass murder then that comes out in their personality with everything they do – including ruining a beach holiday.


My favorite news podcast is hosted by two anti-Zionist Jews who make a better case against Israel’s atrocities than any gentile could. They’re the reason I mess with the Zohan.
Happy Holidays
‘Nuff Said!
