This is the most New Year of our lifetime.
As we approach 2024, which is the year following 2023 and preceding 2025, we must look to the future that awaits ahead of us in the future.
When you don’t have a home, you also don’t have a house, unless you consider a Frigidaire box a house.
To quote a phrase coined by my friend, Harvard President Claudine Gay: “Time keeps on slippin’, slippin’, slippin’ into the future.” Claudine is right. Time cannot slip, slip, slip into the past, for the past has already passed forward. And we cannot look behind us and ahead of us simultaneously. My point is our forward, future path as a nation exists only in 2024. (READ MORE from Matt Manochio: Mascot Bigotry)
We have much to look forward to when we look ahead. Despite what you might experience first hand, our economy has never been stronger, thanks to Bidenomics — a play on words, or in other words, wordplay, which combines the words “Biden” and “Economics,” as depicted in the Venn diagram below. I just love Venn diagrams.
This illustrates how Bidenomics works.
Did you know that the rate of inflation isn’t as high as last year? When we inflate something, we blow air into it so it inflates, like a balloon. So, think of our economy as a big, inflated balloon seemingly kept aloft by online sports gambling and sales of pup tents used for shanty towns in our cities and along the southern border. A ballooning economy is good for all. That means the cost of your food will only inflate a teensy bit as compared to a year ago. And if you look back at the money you were spending then and look ahead to our present future now and count the money you’re spending compared to then, you’re saving money, if you really think about it. In fact, USDA Economy-Grade Gruel is only $50 per 55-gallon drum. That can feed a lot of starving migrants on the cheap — hint, hint, mayors of Chicago, New York and Boston.
While I can boast of a thriving economy in theory if not in reality, I also can crow about the progress we’ve made and will continue to make in 2024 when it comes to reducing homelessness.
When you don’t have a home, you also don’t have a house, unless you consider a Frigidaire box a house, in which case you have house, just not a very nice house, but at least it’s a fun house to play in if you’re a homeless 5-year-old child. And who doesn’t love playing in a disused refrigerator box? (READ MORE: The New York Times Apologizes … Sort Of)
And I’m pleased to say that San Francisco, where I was the first African/Indian-American female district attorney woman of color, solved its homeless crisis in 2023 with a tried-and-true method other cities can emulate in 2024: communism.
Or, more precisely, I’ve learned that if you invite a communist dictator like my spirit animal, Chinese president Xi Jinping, to your city, the homeless population simply vanishes. That’s what happened in November when President Xi visited San Francisco during the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit.
We washed the Chinese Communists flags that routinely line our city streets and, magically, the homeless encampments were gone! What I’m suggesting is that if New York City Mayor Eric Adams invites President Xi to his city, then the homeless population there might disappear, too. We progressives don’t just complain about problems we deny we create, we try to solve them.
The New Year also promises a spirited election. Just the other day President Biden said this about our re-election chances: “Our change purse of winnish in November recites on whether the shrumduf turns outlander rig ballot boxers where’s my 10 percent from Burmese tiger?”
Truer words were never mumbled. We must do everything within and without of our power to prevent people from voting for Donald Trump even if they want to — otherwise, democracy will be threatened. That’s why President Biden will be crisscrossing the country via Zoom meetings from his White House bunker to spread our message of outreach by reaching out to marginalized communities who will vote for us this coming November whether they realize it or not.
I will be on the campaign trail, too, speaking about how our administration will save our environment by reducing our population so our children can live cleanly. Remember, our children are our future, and that’s why we must make abortion available wherever possible. Margaret Sanger would want it that way.

In summation, I’d like to summarize why we as a nation can build upon the peace and prosperity we are experiencing despite the ongoing wars in Ukraine and Israel that erupted under our watch. And that summarization boils down to one word: culture. Our strong culture will see us through any storm. As wise woman once said: “culture is — it is a reflection of our moment and our time. Right? And present culture is the way we express how we’re feeling about the moment, and we should always find times to express how we feel about the moment.”
There’s wisdom in those words. We just have to take a moment to find it.
