Leave It To Kimmel

This pile of rancid rat droppings can’t even allow a wonderful holiday like Thanksgiving to pass without taking a cheap shot at the president. Keep in mind he used to have a segment on his show called: “guess what’s in my pants.” So much for decorum.

Jimmy Kimmel Has Fifth Graders Perform ‘The First Trumpsgiving’ Play

Kimmel then welcomed the players onto the stage, allegedly from Mar-a-Lago Country Day School in Palm Beach, Florida. A narrator establishing the setting revealed that the first pilgrims (the Trump family) arrived on a “private yacht” named “The Mayflower.”
Prompting uproarious laughs from the audience, a little boy dressed in a pilgrim’s outfit with a red tie and blonde Trump-wig walked out onto the stage alongside a little girl playing Melania Trump. Immediately, this boy-Trump decided to build a real estate empire.

“We’re gonna put the golf course right here, and the hotel right here,” said the boy-Trump. “It’s going to be yuge!”

Clearly miffed by her husband’s arrogant portent, the girl-Melania simply placated the boy-Trump by uttering a “whatever you say, Donald.”

IT GETS EVEN MORE PATHETIC.

There Are No Moderate Democrats

The Obamacare debacle proved that. They just have different price tags. I doubt that a single democrat has the least bit concern about the American people or the freedoms we all take for granted. They run for office for much the same reason as many republicans. Money and power. It’s all they care about and it’s all they understand. Marcia Fudge, a black congresswoman threatened to challenge Nazi Pelousy for the Speakership. Democrats know how to get things done: bribery

Marcia Fudge Supports Pelosi for Speaker After Being Promised Chairmanship of Subcommittee on Elections

Rep. Marcia Fudge (D., Ohio) announced Tuesday she would be supporting House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi’s (D., Calif.) bid for speaker of the House just hours after Pelosi announced that she was planning to revive the House Administration subcommittee on elections and make Fudge the chair.

Pelosi’s assurance of black women having a seat at the decision-making table comes amid Fudge recently criticizing Pelosi for not being vocal enough about supporting African Americans in Congress. Fudge told the Huffington Post last week that she sees an “undertone of racism” in the Democratic caucus.

“We’re not feeling the love,” she said.

WHO SAID MONEY CAN’T BUY YOU LOVE?

Speaking Of Gravy:

Congress must not extend the electric car gravy train

Nobody wanted them. We didn’t need them. That’s why Obama & Co. shoved them down our collective throats. All part of his ‘green energy’ hoax. Tesla makes extremely expensive models only the super rich can afford. They get thousands in tax breaks and Tesla founder, Elon Musk, is a billionaire thanks to the mountains of taxpayer funded subsidies that without which his company would fold like a cheap tent.

2018_11 23 electric car market

The $7,500 electric vehicle tax credit was established in 2008 and phases out once a manufacturer reaches 200,000 fully or plug-in electric vehicles sold in the U.S.
There is always a cost to manipulating a free market. This tax credit, like all subsidies, artificially picks winners and losers.

The data show that three-quarters of the electric vehicle tax credits are claimed by consumers earning more than $100,000 a year. Should wealthy people be given such a tax break?

2018_11 23 electric tax

The simple truth is that without these generous tax incentives, electric vehicles would not be as competitive. Their resale value is less. Their range is affected by cold temperatures. They cost more money. Eventually, electric vehicles may be cost-competitive with traditional vehicles. But not today or anytime soon.

Propping up a non-competitive part of the automobile industry wastes taxpayer money and distorts the market.

The Detroit Lions Will Serve Something Disgusting Today

My beloved Chicago Bears will do battle with the Detroit Lions today. The Lions have hosted a game on Thanksgiving day for many, many years. I will be home watching the contest with my stepson and son-in-law.

The home team will be serving their fans a creation obviously made to replace syrup of ipecac to induce vomiting any harmful substance you may have swallowed.

Fans in suites at the Detroit Lions game against the Bears on Thanksgiving will be treated to some abomination of food.

According to ESPN’s Darren Rovell, they will be serving pizza topped with turkey, cranberry sauce, stuffing and gravy. You can take a look at a photo of this disgusting excuse for Thanksgiving food below.

What insane person came up with this concept? It’s absolutely horrifying on all levels! Thanksgiving isn’t about pizza, and pizza isn’t about being ruined by the holiday season.
I am actually furious right now. At some point, a guy floated this idea and nobody was smart enough to sit him down to tell him to stop being an idiot. That’s how we end up with terrible ideas, such as Thanksgiving pizza.

Thanksgiving Memories

If you made one of these in school and your mom didn’t proudly display it on the refrigerator, you were cheated out of a wonderful memory.

This is the time of year I miss my grandma most. Our farmhouse was always filled with lots of hungry relatives and cousins for me to spend the day with. Granny would bring two bags of stale bread home the day before and my sister and I would tear it into small pieces in the double roaster every wife had back then. She boiled the neck and the giblets for a whole day to cut up and put in her dressing Thanksgiving morning. Celery, onions, and a secret blend of spices went into the concoction.

Besides mashed potatoes, she made butternut squash the same way. Peeled, cubed,b oiled and mashed with milk, butter, salt and some brown sugar. The star, besides the huge bird, were her pies. Nobody was her equal. Pumpkin, apple, banana cream and mincemeat, which you can’t even find anymore. She was already up and working when we went out to do chores. When we came in, the smells permeating the house were akin to ambrosia.

One of the rites of passage was when you graduated from the children’s table to the big table. When granny decided dinner was over there was no argument. She’d get up and start snatching up plates to wash whether you were finished or not. Time for coffee and pie. We’d have more than 30 people gathered there and nobody went home hungry. Heck, the uncles always took some of her to-die-for fruit salad home for their lunch the next day.

Granny wasn’t a chef. She didn’t make any fancy sauces or use exotic techniques when she cooked. She had a stove and a Sunbeam Mixmaster to make all her baked goods and whip the meringue that topped all her cream pies. Cast iron skillets and pans that showed years of use were the tools of her trade. She just made simple, tasty food and lots of it. Why is it nobody could cook like your grandmother could? Simple. They used an ingredient you couldn’t find in any grocery store. That ingredient was love.

Is Thanksgiving A Racist Holiday?

College students: ‘Yeah, it’s racist. Pass the turkey and the pumpkin pie.’

Most students who spoke with the Daily Caller News Foundation at American University believe Thanksgiving is a racist holiday, yet the majority of them still plan on celebrating it as a way to see their family and friends and to take a break from school.

One student called it a “genocidal holiday,” while another stood by it saying, “No one goes into Thanksgiving dinner thinking ‘I’m going to establish white supremacy.’ No, it’s all about eating turkey and having a good time.”

CtH adds: Actually, Thanksgiving was founded only as the result of a persistent, years-long campaign by the FEMALE author and editor of the single most influential publication of the 19th century. IOW, if you hate Thanksgiving, you HATE WOMEN! YOU DISGUSTING GYNOPHOBE, YOU!

Are Liberals Ever Thankful For Anything?

There is no real happiness without the Holy Ghost.

Don’t Paint It Black on Thanksgiving Day By Jeffrey Folks

In the classic song “Paint It Black” (1966), Mick Jagger sings of a sad individual who wants to turn everything he sees black.  In the world he imagines, there are no flowers, no summer dresses, and no cars other than black ones.  In the end, the singer comes to see that it’s his own heart that is black and that he is responsible for the emptiness that he sees.

Jagger and Keith Richards may have intended the song as a lament for a desperately unhappy person who despises everything he sees, but for many, the popular song was a celebration of anarchy and rebellion.  It perfectly suited the angry mood of the time.  With its string of assassinations, violent protests, rioting, and political bombings, the decade of the late ’60s was the most unsettled time in modern American history.

Many young men and women had painted the world black, and a substantial number of these damaged souls never grew up.  They’re still out there, imagining the world a terrible place and finding meaning only in resistance.  A new generation has followed them into negation.  Jagger might just as well have been singing of the violence of Antifa protests.  The typical Antifa protester wouldn’t be seen in anything except black, and despite the Antifa (“anti-fascist”) designation, those raised fists look a lot like fascist salutes, especially like those of modern-day fascists.

In the half-century since Jagger’s song appeared, a vast culture of antagonism has arisen in the West.  That cynical culture has spread to politics, media, and schools everywhere.  Although 80% of Americans still profess to believe in God, that still leaves 20% who are atheistic or agnostic, and 56% of those who do believe say they believe in a biblical conception of God – with 45% of Democrats believing so.  Without a God who is all-powerful, all-knowing, and good, where do we stand?  On our own.

“On our own” is a difficult place to be, especially during the holidays.  It leaves one without the deep-seated faith in the goodness of life that supplies confidence and hope.  Lacking that faith, one is prone to question whether life really is meaningful and good; one may begin to believe that the world is simply a forsaken place with one faction struggling against another.  Lacking that traditional “Sea of Faith,” as Matthew Arnold put it, there exists “neither joy, nor love, nor light / Nor certitude, nor peace, nor help for pain.”  Without faith in the goodness of life, existence is reduced to “a darkling plain … Where ignorant armies clash by night.”

There is plenty of evidence of “ignorant armies” in American society today – and by “ignorant,” Arnold meant “faithless,” not “uneducated.”  Defiance has infected even the Washington press corps to the point that it seems incapable of affording the president of the United States the courtesy of agreeing to sit down when requested to do so.  Respect for the presidency, as well as for police, teachers, ministers, and other sources of authority, is necessary to an ordered society.  Likewise, the fundamental rights, including the right of free speech and the right to own property, are essential to our survival.  Without a broad consensus as to the importance of these basic rights, society reverts to a bloody hell of anarchy and violence.  This is the disorder that Arnold foretold.

Thus, it is disturbing when we hear political leaders speak of seizing and redistributing income and when we see them campaign against the right to bear arms or the right of citizens to speak out against corruption in Washington.  Our political leaders are supposed to defend our country and its constitution – they are sworn to do so – but many now campaign as outspoken socialists and advocate violence against conservatives.  It is especially disturbing to be told that “demographics are destiny” and that the future “belongs” to minorities because they have the numbers to prevail.  Is one to imagine that future elections should devolve into racial contests – and that liberals are celebrating this future?

The idea that nothing connects us aside from race, gender, national origin, or sexual orientation is manifestly untrue, but it seems to be what progressives are pinning their hopes on.  In fact, most Americans still share the bonds of faith, liberty, and a quality of optimism that is uniquely ours.  President Trump is appealing to these bonds when he speaks of America “winning, and winning again,” or when he calls for an end to “fake news” and the cynical culture of antagonism that pervades the media.  While large numbers of Americans do see the world as a dark and faithless place – a place where political factions clash by night – most of us on this beautiful Thanksgiving Day will join family and friends in celebrating our shared faith in the goodness of Creation.

The future is not dark, despite what radicals like Elizabeth Warren may think.  Even Mick Jagger (net worth: $360 million) appears to be more concerned with his personal well-being than with revolution, and rightly so.  It is true that America is seriously divided, but there is hope in that a majority of Americans still retain their faith in the goodness of life, and others are returning to that faith.

Along with turkey and television, Thanksgiving is a time for reflection.  Life is good in America, and our future is far from dark.  Despite the noise and the protests – those ignorant armies clashing by night – there is much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving Day.  Celebrate and be happy.

First Lady Stuns For Thanksgiving

Melania Trump is Ready for Thanksgiving in Daring Dior Coat

No boob belts, no canvas dresses. Stiletto boots instead of swamp waders. I’m sure the hags on The View will have something snarky to say.

For the annual pardoning of the turkey at the White House ahead of Thanksgiving, Mrs. Turmp opted for a striking red, white, black, and camel Dior coat from the brand’s Pre-Fall 2018 collection. The coat stood out amongst the crowd of mostly men’s suits with its vivid colors and geometric, abstract pattern.

Like the evening before, Melania Trump let the coat do all the talking and kept the rest of the ensemble to a minimal black sweater, black skinny pants, and Christian Louboutin stiletto boots. Mrs. Trump most recently wore a grey dress from this Dior collection while in Paris, France, for the commemoration of the end of World War I.

God Created Man And Woman-Democrats Created All The Other Genders

Hillary Clinton Honors Transgender People Who Were Killed In 2018 for Transgender Remembrance Day

Hillary Clinton listed the transgender people who were killed in 2018 to remember them for the 19th annual Transgender Remembrance Day.

Clinton listed the 22 transgender people who were killed this year. Twenty of the transgender people killed were people of color, according to GLAAD.

TDOR is annually observed on November 20 to honor the lives of those who were killed in hate crime attacks, according to GLAAD. Transgender Awareness Week is also observed from November 12 to 19 in order to help raise the visibility of transgender people and discuss the issues many transgender people face, according to the organization. The tradition began in 1999 after the death of transgender activist Rita Hester from Boston, who was stabbed 20 times, according to GLAAD.

President May Attend WHCA This Year

Vile Michelle Wolf has killed off the comedy feature at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner

Purported comedian Michelle Wolf, whose vile attacks at the last White House Correspondents’ dinner caused open reactions of dismay from the audience, has induced the group to cancel the custom of featuring a comic at its gatherings. She has managed to diminish laughter, which is in keeping with the thrust of her unfunny, hate-filled work

In a press release, the group touted its choice of Ron Chernow as featured speaker at the next dinner.

“I’m delighted that Ron will share his lively, deeply researched perspectives on American politics and history at the 2019 White House Correspondents’ Dinner,” said Olivier Knox, Chief Washington Correspondent for SiriusXM and president of the WHCA. “As we celebrate the importance of a free and independent news media to the health of the republic, I look forward to hearing Ron place this unusual moment in the context of American history.”

The dinner was originally intended to be a lighthearted celebration of the practitioners of the first amendment, but as all things good the liberals touch, the dinner was destined to be either sycophantic, on one extreme, or mean spirited, on the other. Neither is a good look at a time when trust in media is tenuous. This years’ speaker will be the most excellent writer, author and historian Ron Chernow, who, like last year would never be mistaken for a comedian either.
