Sabo skewers Schiff…
The street artist has put his sights on Rep. Adam Schiff by creating a new series of impeachment-themed posters parodying the long running Showtime series Shameless, and placing them throughout Schiff’s district in Los Angeles. It’s not hard to figure out that Sabo is no fan of the impeachment manager.
What a good girl!
A stray dog is found wrapped around five small black kittens, protecting them from the snow and freezing cold on the side of the road. No one knows how any of them got there, or if the dog knew the kittens, but a shelter has taken them in. I hope whoever adopts the dog also adopts one of the kittens when they are old enough, since she seems bonded to them. Good luck to Serenity and the kittens she helped out!
Thanksgiving, 2019…
I have never seen the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in person, but I have often watched the event on TV. This year I will tape it, since I won’t be at home. This article explains how expensive the event is and why.
A turkey is a strange-looking beast, but the wild ones, while much more intelligent than their domesticated brethren, sometimes exhibit very peculiar behavior. The progressive teachers working hard to make sure their students unlearn Thanksgiving myths and concentrate on the evils of European settlers and cultural crimes committed against Native Americans. Judging by the students at St. Olaf’s College, their efforts have been successful. Colleges have been busy teaching students how to “decolonize” the holiday. Ann Coulter lets loose on the college professors.
Most of us still eat turkey, but a quarter of us say we’re tired of the traditional food, and nearly half of us would be willing to try an alternative meal. I rather doubt that more than a few would welcome a racoon, which some one sent to President Coolidge. Don’t worry — being an animal lover, Silent Cal made Rebeca a pet.
Our current President pardoned both Bread and Butter, and delivered some impeachment jokes in the process. He also compared the media to a relative of the turkey. After eight years of Barack Obama celebrating the “autumn harvest feast”, Trump mentions God in every paragraph.
CNN unsurprisingly instructs us that Trump defenders should be ridiculed and scorned, so what should be a festive occasion may not be. Anyone suggesting peace for the feast is likely to be shot down. You’d think that progressives would at least be thankful they now have so much to complain about.
Trump signed a bill supporting Hong kong protesters and they held a “thanksgiving rally” in appreciation. I am personally thankful for the fundamental principles this nation was founded upon and for those with the wisdom and fortitude to create America. No less honor goes to those who have fought to defend it and their fellow citizens. We do indeed have much to be thankful for.
I hope all of you are with family and friends and have a heart to celebrate your blessings.
Windows 10 free…
For those of you who still enjoy the beauty of Windows 7, you know you have to upgrade to Windows 10 or risk having no security on your computer. Apparently there is an old offer which still works, so check it out and hop on it before Microsoft catches on..
Dem nightmare…
Black approval of Donald Trump in both the Emerson and Rasmussen polls this weekend hit 34%. The general view amongst pollsters is that if Trump attracts only 25% of the black vote, he wins, no matter how many votes the Democrats create by bundling. And do check out the wonderful sign! I have hope that black voters have now seen sufficient proof of promises kept to stop reflexively voting Democrat.
Venus and Jupiter tonight…
it’s conjunction time, fellow stargazers! Tonight, for about an hour and a half after sunset, the two brightest planets will be very close to each other and so bright that even city folks should be able to see them, despite the light pollution. You won’t need a telescope to see the planets, but with one you can pick out jupiter’s four largest moons and perhaps figure out the phase of Venus. Get a comfy chair, a blanket and a cup of hot chocolate and look to the Southwest.
Hidden Christians…
The term refers to members of the Japanese Catholic Church who had to go into hiding during intense religious persecution, but kept their faith alive for over two centuries. Kakure Kirishitan, as it’s called in Japanese, is a term for the members from the Edo period that went underground after the Shimabara Rebellion in the 1630s There are now have 12 Hidden Christian-related locations designated as UNESCO World Heritage sites
Only about one percent of Japan’s population is Christian, and the religion is practiced differently in different areas. Some pray aloud in the typical christian tradition, others silently, for fear of discovery, even though the ban on Christianity was lifted in 1873. Whatever the means of practice, the upcoming visit by the Pope will surely boost the Christian aspects of the various practices.
Is Nancy right?
I can think of nothing on which Speaker Pelosi and I agree. I view her as a contemptible hack whose husband has amassed a fortune with the inside information she has been privy to while in Congress. But she speaks the truth here when she says Democrats must remove Trump now because they can’t allow the people to decide again.
More money…
the Schiff-Pelosi sham impeachment is proving quite lucrative to the Republican National Committee, which had another boffo fund-raising month. It now has over $61 million in the bank and is debt-free. By contrast the Dems’ group is $7 million in debt. It’s excuse is that it has so many presidential candidates. It can’t possibly be because Americans are sick of the lies and corruption and have realized that Trump told us what he was going to do and has been trying to achieve it since day one. Does he exaggerate? Yep, but he doesn’t lie as Obama did weekly. Is he sometimes rude? Yep, and most of the people who feel the lash of his tongue deserve it.
I once worked with a man who wore a pair of Super Bowl rings. He was big and muscular and tough and would sometimes yell at people who had failed to perform. I was one of the few people who dared enter his office when he was in full roar, because i did my job. I didn’t lie, I didn’t blame others for my own shortcomings, and I carried my part of the load. That is how you get bonuses., Only in the progressive fantasyland do the little people thank you for jerking them around, lying through your teeth and trying to destroy their lives and well-being. Hopefully, no one will tell the Left this…
