After a toxic political year, give thanks for … Thanksgiving

 


Tom Homan, Greg Abbott Serve Thanksgiving Meal to Troops While Biden Vacations In Swanky Nantucket  "Republicans are evil. They hate America, they are fascists, they are out to destroy democracy, blah, blah, blah. That’s what the left wants you to think. However, actions are much louder than words, and that proves to be true this Thanksgiving. 

"While outgoing President Joe Biden spends the holiday week strolling around in the land of woke and elites, President-elect Donald Trump’s new border Czar, Tom Homan, and Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) are serving American troops a Thanksgiving dinner. 

. . ."Meanwhile, lame-duck Biden and outgoing First Lady Jill Biden headed to billionaire David Rubenstein’s $34 million Nantucket compound for the consecutive fourth year to celebrate the holiday." . . .

After a toxic political year, give thanks for … Thanksgiving  "The annual American holiday called Thanksgiving formally began with an 1863 proclamation from Abraham Lincoln declaring the last Thursday in November a day of “thanksgiving and praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the heavens,” as well as “humble penitence for our national perverseness and disobedience.”

"The thought behind Thanksgiving is outward toward God and his blessings and not inward, which suggests gratitude to no one in particular for whatever positives might have occurred in one’s life.

"In the more secular view, these positives are not blessings, but are to be chalked up to luck or “good fortune.” May “The Force” be with you."

. . ."The Museum Gallery Archive reports: “Four hundred years ago, Thanksgiving was a religious event, and marked by fasting not feasting. Recent research suggests that the first Thanksgiving of this kind was celebrated by new English settlers at Berkeley, Virginia, in 1619. They were Puritans giving thanks for their safe arrival on the banks of the James River.”

"Today, Thanksgiving is nearly a blur in the rush toward Christmas and the conspicuous consumption merchants promote to pad their bottom lines." . . .


'Thanks, I guess': Biden camp laughs as Trump appears to leak his debate talking points

"We still need the energy. That means we are importing more energy from countries that aren't our friends. When you transport gas halfway around the world, it means more CO2 emissions."

. . ."Hours before a much anticipated first debate rematch between the president and the former president, the Biden campaign may have just received an unexpected aid: a list of Donald Trump talking points.

"In a post to his app Truth Social Thursday, Trump posted a photo that appears to show what he might be asked and how he's poised to respond.

" 'Mr. President, I am sure that a climate question will come up during your debate this week and I suggest the following talking points," the screengrab reads, attributing the question to Andrew Wheeler, former U.S. Environmental Protection Agency administrator.

"The screenshot apparently includes Trump's talking point.

" 'Under my Administration CO2 emissions went down, and at the same time we became more American energy dominant which helps Americans at the gas pump and with their electricity bills." . . .

Donald Trump's appearance on 'The Joe Rogan Experience' has over
50 million views on YouTube alone

"Donald Trump is considering giving the likes of Joe Rogan and Megyn Kelly a seat in the White House press briefing room instead of mainstream media journalists in a plot that will 'blow up some heads'.

"The stunning plan was revealed by the president-elect's eldest son Donald Trump Jr. on a recent episode of his podcast 'Triggered with Donald Trump Jr.'

"Speaking to his co-host Michael Knowles, Jr. admitted that the incoming White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt may rework the briefing room seating arrangement to make way for Trump's new podcast 'bro' buddies.

 ' 'I wonder now, as your father is assembling his team, as maybe Karoline Leavitt is looking at the new press briefing room chart, maybe it's time to reorder that chart and maybe take away some people's seats,' Knowles inquired. 

"The future president's son quickly shot back: 'We're gonna break some news here.'

" 'I literally had this conversation with—I was flying back, I was on the plane with my father, I think it was coming back from the SpaceX launch with Elon [Musk] last week,' Jr. said. 

" 'And we were talking about the podcast world and some of our friends and Rogan and guys like you.' . . .
