How the year does fly.\u00a0 Another remarkable journey around the sun is almost complete and so of course we get to the two Great Holidays, Thanksgiving and Christmas.\u00a0 These are the times when we gather together with friends and family and enjoy rich food and good company.\u00a0 And Thanksgiving is supposed to be the day we count our blessings.<\/p>\n
The last couple of years have been happier and more prosperous thanks to President Trump\u2019s policies.\u00a0 The economy has recovered from the Bush\/Obama Depression and a number of his executive actions and judicial selections have given us something to be hopeful about.\u00a0 The \u201cResistance\u201d has seemed to reach the point of open absurdity with impeachment now looking like a losing issue for the Democrats instead of the President.<\/p>\n
So, all of that is reason to be thankful and I agree it is.\u00a0 But what I\u2019m most thankful for is that I can see.<\/p>\n
I can see through the GOP Establishment in the government and in the press and recognize them as just part of the enemy that we must beat.\u00a0 They are the ones who have been responsible over and over for snatching defeat out of the jaws of victory and selling us down the river to the Progressives for money.\u00a0 The Republican politicians did it for the money they get from lobbyists to vote for sending our jobs and industries to China and allowing endless immigrants to replace us.\u00a0 The Republican Pundits (and judges) sold us out for the right to go to the Left-Wing dinner parties and rub elbows with the Cloud People.<\/p>\n
That knowledge is what I\u2019m thankful for.\u00a0 Now I know who my enemy is and I also know what I have to do to protect me and mine from their agenda.\u00a0 Donald Trump showed us what it means to be unafraid of being called a deplorable.\u00a0 If all they can do is call you a racist or misogynist or homophobe or transphobe then we can ignore them and get on with our lives.\u00a0 We can search out like minded individuals and form our own society.\u00a0 It won\u2019t be easy or without pain but so what?\u00a0 What good thing ever is?\u00a0 And we won\u2019t vote for anymore McCains or Bushes or Romneys.\u00a0 No more mealy-mouthed losers who call themselves Christians or Conservatives or whatever they want to pretend to be but vote for depravity and defeat.\u00a0 No more.<\/p>\n
This year I took the whole Thanksgiving week off and was able to enjoy time with family and help prepare a little for the feast.\u00a0 This year we have family from near and far arriving and Camera Girl has risen to the challenge and will have a total of 48 pounds of turkey and two refrigerators full of other mouth-watering delights including cornbread and sausage stuffing, mashed potatoes, turkey gravy, sweet potatoes, candied yams, buttered rolls, buttered corn, cranberry sauce, cranberry jello mold, peas and onions, roasted Brussel sprouts and cranberries and string beans and almonds.\u00a0 For dessert there will be apple pie, pumpkin pie, cocoanut custard pie, blueberry pie, home-made ricotta cheese cake, ice cream and chocolate covered fruit.\u00a0 And lots of strong coffee<\/p>\n
After that we\u2019ll collapse in the living room and watch Laurel and Hardy in the 1934 movie, \u201cMarch of the Wooden Soldiers\u201d and the 1939 animated version of, \u201cGulliver\u2019s Travels.\u201d\u00a0 Then I\u2019ll spend time playing with my grandchildren and making plans with them for the holidays.<\/p>\n
So, tomorrow may not see much in the way of posting unless something earth shaking occurs.<\/p>\n
But Happy Thanksgiving to all you folks out there and may you and your family enjoy a feast and a wonderful time.<\/p>\n
