My 'Person Of The Year' for 2025

O.K., so maybe I was a little late picking a “Person of the Year” for 2025, but it is always such a subjective matter. There are more than 8 billion of us on the planet today, so narrowing it down to one is not always easy.

There were great folks who achieved extraordinary accomplishments, such as Charlie Kirk, Elon Musk, and President Trump.

On the other hand, Charlie Kirk was assassinated, President Trump lives with constant threats, and Elon Musk had his cars keyed. Many took to social media to celebrate Kirk’s death. Could Satan be a “Person of the Year” contender, in a, well, Satanic way?

Moreover, it seemed like the more disgusting and hate-filled a candidate, the more likely they were to get elected. Look no further than Virginia Democrat Jay Jones, who is now the state’s attorney general, even though texts surfaced prior to the election in which he wished for the death of his political opponent, Todd Gilbert … and fantasized about Gilbert’s children dying, as well.

Then there is the burgeoning — and almost unbelievable -- Somali fraud scandal, in which untold billions of American citizens’ tax dollars have been handed over to fraudulent Somali shell companies. Hell, it seems like nearly every NGO, charitable organization, and government program is riddled with fraud. In truth, it seems like most governments are entirely corrupt and fraudulent, the bigger the more so. Could/should Beelzubub get the “honor?” I know it’s a stretch to call the Antichrist a person, but many of us refer to Rashida Tlaib, Adam Schiff, and Tim Walz as “persons,” so…

But, no. My Person of the Year for 2025 is one we hear so much about but have never encountered.

Leftist politicians and their media sycophants rant and rave about them, implying that they may be a majority, but their existence is apocryphal at best, as far as I can tell. I am talking about the “Islamophobe.” Muslims are everywhere where I live, yet everyone I know smiles and says “hi” when they pass by one in the hall or on the street. People cater to them and are, in fact, loath to criticize their behavior or even report fraudulent activity involving them for fear of being called “racist.”

Which has led to the staggering and poorly disguised fraud being uncovered in Minnesota. And Ohio. And Maine. And …well, you get the picture.

It does not make one an “Islamophobe” if one gets upset at 9/11 or a mass shooting in which the perpetrator shouted “Allahu Akhbar!” Or many such shootings. It just shows one isn’t a heartless monster.

I have encountered many antisemites in the U.S., some quite open about it, but no true “Islamophobes.”

Therefore, if there is one, that person is astonishingly gifted at concealing his or her whereabouts. So, congratulations “Islamophobe,” you are my Person of the Year.”
