We have our problems but we are still so very fortunate to live where we live, when we live. There is no other time or in history that can compare.

Posted by: Caitlyn Jenner at November 26, 2015 07:10 AM (YQ7o1) 5 Good Morning Morons. Today is Thursday, November 26, 2015, Thanksgiving day. On this day in 1789 a national Thanksgiving Day was observed in the United States as proclaimed by President George Washington at the request of Congress. However, it did not become a national holiday until 1863 when Lincoln made it so for the Northern part of the country on the last Thursday of Nov. In 1941 FDR changed it to the 4th Thursday which is where it is at now.

Also the downed Russian pilot says Turkey issued no warning. Turkey says they issued 10 warnings and our military monitoring the situation from Iraq confirmed this. http://fxn.ws/1IhV90U Posted by: Vic-we have no party at November 26, 2015 07:11 AM (t2KH5) 8 Happy Thanksgiving all!!

Unless Congress changes his policy, that number will be repeated in the next five years. Pardon me Mr WaEx but it is already against the law for him to bring in the number he is bringing since it is far above the allotted maximum. But impeachment is off the table. http://washex.am/1LzUlod Posted by: Vic-we have no party at November 26, 2015 07:13 AM (t2KH5) 16 It appears that the attempts of the GOP moneymen to derail Trump are not having much impact. http://wapo.st/1LzSnV1 Posted by: Vic-we have no party at November 26, 2015 07:13 AM (t2KH5) 17 This always happens when you have government welfare operating.

The 97% of scientists myth has always been a lie as well. There has never been any such consensus among scientists. http://bit.ly/1NdgYVc Posted by: Vic-we have no party at November 26, 2015 07:13 AM (t2KH5) 20 Study in GA finds that there has been a massive increase in deportations of "refugees" for violent crimes despite federal vetting. Since the FBI says the so-called refugees from Syria can not be vetted I guess we can expect that number to go up even more. http://bit.ly/1LzCpKu Posted by: Vic-we have no party at November 26, 2015 07:14 AM (t2KH5) 21 BLM thugs attack Chicago's Christmas tree in Millennium Park. http://bit.ly/1NdModS Posted by: Vic-we have no party at November 26, 2015 07:14 AM (t2KH5) 22 4 out of 5 voters say immigration from the ME is dangerous.

Posted by: Colin at November 26, 2015 07:15 AM (T3Tpd) 25 Here's another kick in the ass for Chicago taxpayers. The family that was paid 5 million dollars in a settlement for the cop shooting that black teen had not been taking care of him since he was 5 years old. The State had been taking care of him so the State should have paid themselves. http://bit.ly/1Ohxzry Posted by: Vic-we have no party at November 26, 2015 07:15 AM (t2KH5) 26 Just in case you didn't know this already a reminder. You can not believe a word from anybody in the MFM about violence against BLM agitators. http://bit.ly/1Ic35WN Posted by: Vic-we have no party at November 26, 2015 07:15 AM (t2KH5) 27 The NH State GOP chair is blasting Trump.

Their current turd is RINO Rubio. http://bit.ly/1MEmL4o Posted by: Vic-we have no party at November 26, 2015 07:15 AM (t2KH5) 28 Morning! Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

General Michael Flynn, head of the Defense Intelligence Agency from 2012 through 2014, appeared on Megyn Kelly's Fox News program Monday night to say what many have been thinking: "The focus of this investigation ought to start at the top. Where intelligence starts and stops is at the White House." If that isn't clear enough let me say it for you; it was Obama ordered. But impeachment is off the table. http://bit.ly/1NdNera Posted by: Vic-we have no party at November 26, 2015 07:16 AM (t2KH5) 33 Ramirez http://bit.ly/1NQ8hwe Posted by: Vic-we have no party at November 26, 2015 07:17 AM (t2KH5) 34 A blessed Thanksgiving to you all. We have our problems but we are still so very fortunate to live where we live, when we live. There is no other time or in history that can compare. Posted by: turfmann --- Meh, not really. 20-30 years ago there was less rot. Think about things like race relations, economy, morality/culture and security? Millenials feel less hope about their future than people thei age had felt in decades past. Deaths among white middle aged people have increased since 2003, reversing a decades old trend. Half a million people dead that ought not be, due to suicide, alcohol poisoning and drug ODs. So that common, glib sentiment is simply incorrect. There have been much better times in which to live.

Posted by: Bruce Boehner at November 26, 2015 07:23 AM (YQ7o1) 48 Morning and another Happy T'Day. Posted by: Ricardo Kill at November 26, 2015 07:24 AM (m/rKW) 49 Just out of curiosity, I compiled some social media stats on the Repub frontrunners this morning. I'll leave it to the 'rons to decipher What It All Means, but I find it interesting that Carson leads Trump on FB by a half a mil (I expected Trump to dominate), yet Trump swamps the rest of the field on Twitter. The stats show that Carson's (and Cruz's) more evangelical/SoCon followers prefer Facebook, I guess. Total followers, rounded: Facebook: Carson - 4.9 million Trump - 4.5 million Cruz - 1.6 million Rubio - 1.1 million Fiorina - 527,000 Jeb!- 299,000 Twitter: Trump - 5.0million Carson - 1.0 million Rubio - 987,000 Fiorina - 628,000 Cruz - 609,000 Jeb! - 379,000 Posted by: WhatWhatWhat? at November 26, 2015 07:24 AM (HMt16) 50 Like a dog would share his food with a cat. lol!

Posted by: Colin at November 26, 2015 07:26 AM (T3Tpd) 54 Most interesting thing I've read this morning is a Legal Insurrection blog from Andrew Brianca on the Chicago shooting. Maybe not so fast on the murder one charge. But mob rule matters. Posted by: Skip at November 26, 2015 07:30 AM (XRpjE) 55 As that article I linked to a few days ago said, the governors may not be able to stop him from sticking those illegal "refugee" migrants in their State but they sure as hell can enforce the laws for welfare, section 8 housing, and other benefits so that they cut off all social services to them. They are already supposed to be doing that but nobody enforces it but SC. Posted by: Vic-we have no party at November 26, 2015 07:30 AM (t2KH5) 56 Remember when Bush flew to Iraq to have Thanksgiving dinner with the troops, MSM got all a flutter about that.

Happy Thanksgiving everybody! Posted by: PrincetonAl at November 26, 2015 08:09 AM (0v6Aj) 71 Posted by: WhatWhatWhat? at November 26, 2015 07:24 AM (HMt16) I don't know if it's Evangelical so much as older. At least in my family, the oldest generation (60+ years old) uses FaceBook exclusively as their social media, if they use any at all. They also seem to all support Carson regardless of denomination. I suspect that they are concerned and looking for an outsider like I am, but that Trump's multiple divorces and brash manner are a bridge too far. None of them care that Carson isn't white, they like his story and how he represents American potential, so that, combined with his calm demeanor, seems to be what draws them. This is the first real "generation gap" I've seen between myself and my older realtives since, although Trump isn't my preference, I guess I no longer have such high expectations for a President to act "presidential" so his brasness and divorces don't turn me completely away like it does them.

Posted by: Kindltot at November 26, 2015 09:27 AM (q2o38) 89 I have a turkey fryer rig that I picked up to do canning with. The bad thing is that the Aluminum sheds heat in a breeze and on a windy day it is hard to get the water to a hard boil for water bath canning. I either need to get a jacket for it to concentrate the heat and block the wind, or just use it for pre-heating jars to speed up the canning process. I told a friend when I bought it and he started spouting rhapsodical about vomiting volcanoes of burning oil, and I had to remind him that it was a turkey fryer, not a fougasse. (and like bordello, fougasse is not a word you see every day) Posted by: Kindltot at November 26, 2015 09:33 AM (q2o38) 90 so yeah, 88 comments in before i was told new thread was up. whatever peoples! Posted by: willow at November 26, 2015 09:33 AM (jOumW) 91 From my dad's WWII diary Nov 25, 1943 Thanksgiving. Rainy, cold. Battery moved up to its first position vic[inity] Piccilli, approx 4500 behind front lines. 937 [FA Bn] moved up at night. Our baptism under fire was purely Baptist. Immersion. -The EZ Dog Diaries Picilli is about 14 miles SE of Monte Cassino, where the German forces were dug in and heavily fortified along the Gustav Line, blocking the Allied advance up the Italian "boot". This was Dad's first real exposure to enemy bombardment, but in spite of the play on words not the heaviest they would experience. The Anzio invasion would launch less than two months later, in January 1944. He was 24 years old. Yes we have much to be thankful for. Pray for courage and clarity of moral purpose. Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Judge Peggy Chiampas said the state's attorney's office recommended dropping the charge against 22-year-old Malcolm London and told London he was free to go. Malcolm X. London is being described as a poet by the MFM. The media and the left really want another Ferguson or Baltimore to happen in Chicago.

Fortunately the transaction costs would also be imaginary. Is bitcoin still accepting US $? Posted by: Dirks Strewn at November 26, 2015 09:38 AM (kfcYC) Bitcoin is a fiat currency that supposedly has a limited supply, as such it is supposed to hold it value better than the Zairian Shilling. What I understand is that it is a special key electronic document that uses a form of encryption, similar but way more complicated than your debit card, to both verify its validity and verify its transfer. It is supposed to act like electronic Gold, as in it is unforgeable, anonymous and more easily portable. ISIS could be funding its works with Gold and Silver, and it would be just as anonymous, but the main thing is that bitcoin is more portable, you can send it from here to Madagascar faster than you can get whatever you want from Madigascar here. This is a problem with Gold, since unless you trust your banker (and he trusts you) you have to physically send gold around to satisfy debts. There are a number of crypto-currencies around, and governments hate them worse than poison - all that untraceable economic activity that is not being taxed. The ISIS thing (DAESH thing) might be the pretext to outlaw it altogether. Posted by: Kindltot at November 26, 2015 09:48 AM (q2o38) 111 He dindu nuffin. He's a POET.

Posted by: Nevergiveup at November 26, 2015 10:05 AM (DUoqb) For a good 7-8 years I went to my Dad's (is it girlfriend when he is in his 80's and she is in her 70's?) for Christmas and Thanksgiving. The food was terrible and Dad's close ladyfriend's family hate having outsiders and non-immediate family members at their special events and I got tired of being ignored and given FREAKIN PISSY BRAT ATTITUDE from young adults who are eternally spoiled 14 year old girls at heart. So I explained to Dad my attitude, and stopped going. I'd suppose I could serve at the mission but there are people there I don't want to see either. My best Thanksgiving dinner in the last 20 years was followed by breaking up with my long term girlfriend the next day, too. The two events were not linked, but it reflects how I feel about major holidays. I am not the person to talk about life-skills or relationship advice.

Litman is to be married on Thursday night to her fiance Ariel Beigel after having to postpone their original wedding date due to the terrorist attack, and many are planning to show up to help celebrate after the young bereaved couple invited the general public, with yet others donating to help. But that effort to help celebrate was given some of its most moving illustration by five Chabad On Campus centers in the US and Canada, which decided to crowd-fund donations from students and then hold a raffle to send at least one representative from each school to the wedding. The extra funds from are to go to the young couple as a wedding gift, and the centers involved include: Chabad Student Center At Einstein; Center for Jewish Life of Rockland; Chabad On Campus - Queens; Rohr Chabad Student Network of Ottawa; Chabad at Binghamton. Aside from taking part in the joy of the wedding, the representatives will also visit some of those wounded in the recent wave of Arab terror attacks. They likewise will visit the mourning family of 18-year-old soldier Ziv Mizrahi, who was stabbed to death at a gas station northwest of Jerusalem on Monday.

In addition to Snoopy and SpongeBob floating overhead, there will be mobile cameras and police helicopters, specially trained police dogs sniffing for traces of explosives and officers patrolling on horseback, said James P. ONeill, the New York Police Departments chief of department, its highest ranking uniformed officer. Observation posts, staffed by officers from the elite Emergency Service Unit, will be watching for suspicious activity; officers will use radiation detectors to seek out evidence of a dirty bomb; and teams of plainclothes officers will mix unobtrusively with revelers spread along the two and a half miles of the Manhattan parade route between 9 a.m. and noon. yeah boy Fredo, we sure have ISIS on the run there?

As they got older, neither my dad nor me wanted to make my mom do all that work, so we started going to restaurants. Now that they're gone, the Hungry Man Turkey Dinner has become my "tradition".

Manipulating a turkey carcass so you can coat the cavity with Lawrey's and'or Mrs Dash, just before stuffing, makes a significant improvement. Also, simmered spices in a glaze or baste applied while it is roasting also cooks right in. Lots of people prefer a vigorously massaged or hammered dry-rub just before oven to the overnight soak.

Posted by: Seamus Muldoon at November 26, 2015 11:00 AM (NeFrd) They changed the composition of cigarette papers so cigarettes won't stay lit unless you puff on them. So if you still want to use a cigarette as a slow burning punk, you have to dab them with a dilute solution of saltpeter and let them dry. Actually that is how you make matchcord for those of you that want to shoot your matchlocks. Posted by: Kindltot at November 26, 2015 11:14 AM (q2o38) 369 Philip K.

Posted by: Anna Puma at November 26, 2015 11:14 AM (bTvCK) 370 Yes, malls and shopping centers killed real department stores a generation ago. I was pleased to get online shopping to keep me out of those damn places. Thirteen shoe stores with the same thing. But when you think of what the big stores used to be, especially at Christmas, you can sure as hell get a little shudder of nostalgia. And keep in mind, "nostalgia" was what Civil War doctors called PTSD. There was an arcade in our mid-size downtown, attached to Big Store, that had the biggest damn O-gauge layout you'd ever seen, with all the new accessories. Kids stood around that thing, half a block long it seemed, about 8 deep. All the way around. Whenever I smell light machine oil, or Marx's superior formula locomotive smoke, it makes me think of Christmas gone by. And, no Muzak. The city had not one but several professional church choirs in those days, and they sang carols SATB in shifts in the mezzanine.

Not the right length, not the right temp level, not even the right look. And no matter how I changed the search terms, I couldn't find what I was looking for.

I tell everyone though, if you aren't watching HBO's The Leftovers, including if you watched Season 1 and were kinda turned off by it, you have no idea what you are missing. I swear this is some incredible television being done here. Really transcendent stuff. I don't throw out superlatives easily, but every week I am astounded and emotionally spent.

It occurred about 3 years prior to the beginning of the show, so everyone we meet, these people are the "leftovers." No explanation for what happened, just a world full of confused humans, trying to make sense of it all. Some of it would appear to be metaphysical, but maybe not. Different entities have different answers, and there may be "prophets" among the people, with miracles happening... or maybe there aren't.

Posted by: Cicero (@cicero) at November 26, 2015 11:36 AM (RU5ki) 426 BurtTC, I'll try watching The Leftovers. I haven't liked any HBO series in years. I an going to say last one I watched was The Sopranos. I watched all of Boardwalk Empire, on demand, during the 3 weeks I was stuck at home because there was too much snow to get my car out of the driveway. Posted by: Carol at November 26, 2015 11:29 AM (sj3Ax) I really hated the way they ended Boardwalk Empire. Not just the final scene, but the fact that they whole last season was just there to artificially tie everything up. If you go into "The Leftovers" with something of an open mind, and be aware there are religious themes (there would have to be), just try to remember these people are all crazy because millions of people just up and disappeared from the planet, all at once, with no warning, no nothing. Just, one minute they were there, the next, they weren't. Find the opening credits for Season 2 somewhere. I'm sure it's easy to find. A very twangy female singer... with still photos... it's brilliant. It will pretty much give you everything you need to know going in.

The thing that probably bothers me the most is knowing what's going to happen to Ted's daughter, the state cop's wife. She's sweet, adorably cute, and obviously quite capable of handing all sorts of trouble. We know how this goes though, because season 1 took place... what, 20 or 30 years later?
