a ceremonial dip?

On the other hand, “authorities” say that the waters of the Great Salt Lake are too salty for brining turkeys, so maybe the guy was smart to leave his bird in its plastic wrapper.

People are brining their Thanksgiving turkeys in this popular park — and officials have had enough

Happy Thanksgiving

It’s been an interesting year, both personally and for national affairs, but the country’s future looks far more promising than it seemed some months ago, when I was convinced the dual-issue Abortion/Never Trump crowd was going to keep control. And on a personal level, I’m incredibly grateful for the pleasure I’ve derived from being part of this small community of blog readers and commenters. Thank you all, and have a truly blessed Thanksgiving.

By golly, I HAD forgotten, even though it was the start of today's divided society

What a Turkey. Remember When Barack Obama Tried to Ruin Thanksgiving?

Victoria Taft:

It wasn't too long ago that a community organizer urged his acolytes to make the Thanksgiving table a lecture hall filled with policy wonks, simpering know-it-alls, a cornucopia of browned tofurky, a big heaping glob of gelatinous, over-whipped ObamaCare, and a side of self-satisfaction. 

Maybe some of you first-time voters this year don't remember the days before the whole United States government wasn't running an information operation against the American people. You won't remember that Obama for America morphed into Organizing for America and turned the Thanksgiving tables into yet another color revolution battle space. 

His administration called it "Health Care Holidays." Upon hearing Obama wanted to invade their dinner tables, millions of normal people cleaned the store shelves of antacids.

Obama's "Health Care Holidays" urged people to become what they hated at the dinner table. It was one thing to endure the incessant platitudes of drunk grandma, it was quite another to be lectured and scolded by a college freshman fresh out of the latest Obama indoctrination class held in the dorm.

Michelle Obama wrote a letter to supporters urging them, “As you spend time with loved ones this holiday season, be sure to talk with them about what health care reform can mean to them."

…. Like people who made it through the Depression, Americans became aware of a vague sense of doom during Obama's reign. Overspending, overregulation, overweening sense of self-importance, and self-assured nobility of purpose. Obama instilled a depression in Americans who believed in the rights of the individual. Obama had his IRS silence the Tea Party movement by tying them up in red tape till beyond the 2012 election. He instituted the messaging war against free people in America. His purpose was to consolidate an electoral win into a never-ending commie entrenchment. Biden doubled-down. Sound familiar?

No wonder Trump won.

Oh, please, oh puhleeze?

Democrat lawmaker suggests seceding from US to counter Trump's agenda

There’s a video at the link that I haven’t watched and you probably won’t want to see either, but help yourself. In the meantime, here’s what awaits these people in their new home. They’ll be so much happier!

Canadian town forced to pay $10,000 to LGBT group, send mayor to reeducation course because they didn't declare June "Pride Month"

The Ontario Human Rights Tribunal is forcing the township of Emo and its mayor to compensate an LGBTQ activist group because elected officials refused to honor 'Pride Month' in 2020. Borderland Pride asked Emo to proclaim June 2020 as Pride Month and fly a rainbow Pride flag for a week but the mayor and council turned down the request, CBC News reported Friday.

The tribunal, whose rulings are legally binding, has determined that the township must pay Borderland Pride $10,000 and Emo Mayor Harold McQuaker has to provide the group with $5,000 from his personal finances.

To further humiliate the mayor and the chief administrative officer of the township, the tribunal ordered both to enroll and complete a Human Rights 101 indoctrination course from the Ontario Human Rights Commission within the next month.

perhaps rivian can complete these abandoned fisker cas and sell them for petty cash?

Lame-duck Biden administration “loans” $6.6B to struggling Tesla rival Rivian

Last week, Governor Noisome announced a plan to spend Californians’ money on handing out rebates to anyone who buys any battery car except Teslas, never mind that Tesla is the only EV manufacturer in the state; better the Chinese prosper than Elon Musk’s workforce keep their jobs.

Yesterday, Joe’s handlers have done Noisome one better:

The Department of Energy announced on Tuesday that it was extending a $6.6 billion loan to Rivian for the construction of a $5 billion electric car factory in Georgia that the company initially started but then put on hold due to financial constraints.

The Rivian loan, which is reportedly contingent on the company not actively opposing union organizing efforts at the facility, would enable the company to complete construction of the Atlanta-area plant, which has the support of Georgia’s Republican Gov. Brian Kemp.

The facility is expected to employ 7,500 people who would begin manufacturing electric SUVs and trucks beginning in 2028.

That’s $880,000 a job, only slightly less than we give to our newcomers crossing the border.

Rivian … until last year, was worth as much as $150 billion just three years ago but is now worth slightly more than $10 billion.

And when it hits zero, and follows Fisker into the Hall of Failure, who will be left holding the uncollectible IOUs for these billions?

Exactly.
