PLANET VALENTI NEWS AND COMMENTARY
(FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE, THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS 2025) — On Christmas Eve, allow THE PLANET to extend, and be ye gracious to accept, our sincere and heartfelt best wishes for this holiday season.
Christmas marks the traditional celebration of the birth of Jesus to Mary and Joseph in Bethlehem. It is an event that transcends all religions, all divisions, all “this” and “that.” It is a call to remember the goodness we all have inside us. May the peace of Christ and the season be with you always.
A special thanks goes to all our readers and commentators. We hope our writings refresh and inspire you, get you to thinking, and otherwise enter, up or down, in the plus column on your scorecards.
Be good. Be careful. Be safe.
And as we sign off every column, love to all from THE PLANET.

LOVE TO ALL.

If you follow the science there are nine planets in our solar system: Mercury, Venus, Valenti, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
Merry Christmas to you Ron and everyone here. And may next Christmas be merry too. 2026, may it be not a lot worse than prior years before, just a little is good with me, just not too much.
skål!
Love it, RK. Many thanks and the best Christmas to you and yours.
Merry Christmas to Dan, his family and all posters. Stay safe and be careful over the weekend as the driving could get hairy.
Also, thank you very much to all first responders, police, fire, ambulances and all others in that line of work. Hate to think what this city would be without you guys.
Merry Christmas!
I guess the stalwart contributors to this website don’t mind Trump renaming the JFK memorial center with Trump’s name overshadowing JFK’s, do you? Oh right, that would be ‘Trump Derangement Syndrome.’
Okay Kinder, here’s the deal – Trump may be a lot of things and do a lot of things many of us don’t like, but he has great policies and is actually making America great again. Not to mention he was a hands down better pick than Crooked Hillary, SleepyJoe, Or Kackling Kamala. Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas, K. And always remember: “Duah Red!” Love ya.
Really Dan. A Bronze Medal winner breathed napalm and three pack a day smoking Stooge (beloved) ? That’s why the Bronze Star far below getting the Silver Star. I don’t know anyone who loved the Stooge other than his political lackies? Maybe he should ask his buddy Neal to get medications lowered instead of getting millions in pac money. This guy was also the Parade Marshall?
The G Man did way more than this honored soldier. G Man actually was in battle, breathed napalm and was also disabled by the war.ASWERE HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS. Not smoking three packs of smokes a day.
He saved our City Millions in water rates with his owner Miles Krofta after submitting one of the lowest cost of water plants in the history of water plant construction.
The real story behind the Krofta deal was former Mayor Charlie Smith and the G Man were held to the low cost because former DPW commsioner Doyle had his own clic, ready to do the plants at a hundred million. Krofta had 100s of millions and this was his first project. In it for the glory and not at the city’s expense.
Delusions of grandeur
Change is good. Especially when it concerns art.
“Trump raised over $131 million in private and corporate donations and had Congress give $257 million for critical infrastructure needs, all to SAVE this institution. There was over $250 million of deferred maintenance repairs immediately needed. Those individuals attacking now, sat idly by while America’s cultural center slowly crumbled. Now the bipartisan Trump Kennedy Center is here for generations to come.””
So, the board added his name. When Musk bought Twitter, he removed the name.
K you struck gold!
The contrast with past administration is starkly seen with the addition of trumps name to the perming center as past administration were busy tearing down historical and cultural sculptures and old King PUTT builds his Death Star malevolence to blot out 20 acres and tower over the Olmstead public park in Chicago.
May our American Renaissance commence!
*addition of Trump’s name to the Lincoln center
And also, edit:King Putt builds his Death Star on 20 acres of Olmsteads public park to tower over it like a horrid granite tooth.
Merry Christmas! Peace to all.
What a Merry Christmas. President Voltron Pork Chop just posted pictures of Christmas dinner with his girlfriend and Throw Momma From The Train
