The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition

Thanksgiving is great! As Joe Mannix ably explained yesterday, it is America's greatest holiday. It is full of joy and camaraderie and fun food, but it is also a peek into American Exceptionalism. We are at once a country that cares deeply for others, and we are also fiercely individualistic. We are religious, but embrace non-religious cultural events. And we understand how wonderfully lucky we are!

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

That is a powerful affirmation of exactly how exceptional we are, and the incredible optimism in every word of that preamble speaks volumes. And it is that optimism on which I will focus for the time being, especially when one compares today to the dark times of just a few months...and years...ago.

Do we have problems? Of course, and they may very well be existential, but we have an incredible opportunity for a radical realignment of our culture, our people, and our country, and for that I am immensely grateful.

The pessimists among us will suggest that we are in a temporary lull before the onslaught of progressive evil returns. That may be true, but we see around us the results of simply fighting back. We "voted harder," and we also did a lot of hard work to make those votes count.

We see all around us the emergence of a new class of conservative politician...people who are not afraid to shock and scare and go on the offensive. They are the future of the conservative movement, and I firmly believe that they are the future of America. And with our help they will succeed!

Happy Thanksgiving! May it be a glorious and joyful harbinger of great things to come.

[Below the fold is some contrast between those who would change Western culture, and those who embrace it!]

Here is Jaguar's attempt to sell cars. It's freakish and weird and insults the very people who want to buy a beautiful, sexy, powerful automobile. Maybe in the tortured and strange world in which the advertising people live, this ad is good, but in the reality based world, where expensive cars and beautiful women are linked, it's off-putting and disturbing.

Here is a fun BMW commercial that is trying to sell cars in the old fashioned way!

And here is an ad for used cars! Maybe the least sexy product on earth, yet...

[Yeah...it's probably fake, but I don't care]

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

28 I do therefore invite my fellow citizens in every part of the United States, and also those who are at sea and those who are sojourning in foreign lands, to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November next, as a day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens. And I recommend to them that while offering up the ascriptions justly due to Him for such singular deliverances and blessings, they do also, with humble penitence for our national perverseness and disobedience, commend to His tender care all those who have become widows, orphans, mourners or sufferers in the lamentable civil strife in which we are unavoidably engaged, and fervently implore the interposition of the Almighty Hand to heal the wounds of the nation and to restore it as soon as may be consistent with the Divine purposes to the full enjoyment of peace, harmony, tranquillity and Union.

In a statement to Dougall Media at the time, Borderland Pride director Douglas Judson outlined his intention to continue imposing “consequences” on anyone else who attacked them.

“As a lawyer who does this work that means I’m going to start taking people’s houses and their vehicles and their toys and draining their bank accounts and garnishing their wages because no one is going to stop behaving this way until there are real consequences,” he said.

Hit the biggest bank in Chicago for all it had, we're the thieves you know
Remember the thing that I told ya, three years, two moons ago?
Promise I'll be right behind you, but you're gonna die if you don't hit the road

Keep your lights down, keep your voice down low
Wear your hair down, whichever way you go
And I'll meet you in Idaho...

So many messages from good friends this a.m., and we all humbly agree on one thing:

Everyone has so much to be THANKFUL for this Thanksgiving, even more so than usual!

Yes, and that even includes those "Radical Left Lunatics" that POTUS was just wishing a Happy Thanksgiving to just now.

They dodged a bullet too on Nov. 5, just like the rest of us. They're just too ignorant to comprehend how lucky they are to live in what will continue to be the United States of America.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Thank you God.

111 My Thanksgiving Story:

I was in a military style concert/marching band as a youth. They were world champions 20 times back when that was a thing. I played trombone and by tradition marched in the front line.

We marched in the Detroit Thanksgiving parade one year. We were behind the horses. They don't tell you about that kind of thing. So we are marching to a cadence and not playing. Regular military cadence is 6 to 5. The poop is right in line with me and I'm marching looking at it and sure as shit it's right where I was supposed to step.

So I fucking stepped in it. Kind of a bizarre manifestation of defiance for me. Anyway...right as I stepped in it . I didn't even think about avoiding it.

I heard this black kid scream at the top of his lungs,

"LOOK AT DAT WHITE BOY STEPPING IN DAT SHIT!!!!"

I will never forget that.

Anyway...because of the precision formation everyone behind me stepped in it. There were about 12 of us that had to take our shoes off and put them in a bag before we got back on the bus. No one gave me a hard time even though everyone heard the kid scream because that was they way it was with us back in the day.

116 Here is Jaguar's attempt to sell cars. It's freakish and weird and insults the very people who want to buy a beautiful, sexy, powerful automobile. Maybe in the tortured and strange world in which the advertising people live, this ad is good, but in the reality based world, where expensive cars and beautiful women are linked, it's off-putting and disturbing.

I've seen lots of attempts at damage control. Stuff like "Jaguar is appealing to a very select audience, and you aren't it". It's whistling past the graveyard.

124 I can't begin to express my gratitude for this year, and especially for the Horde.

In January I was fired from a federal law enforcement agency for refusing to target a particular class of Americans, and for refusing to order my subordinates from doing the same.

I nearly lost my house and my kids (both of which I got in the divorce).

Were it not for the incomparable generosity of the Horde, I would have.

And now, I have a private sector job (contracting), and am financially stable. Absent you wonderful people, my life would look much, much different.

I'm forever grateful.

Happy Thanksgiving.

179 Good day to you Sir. I've met you. You're crazy. A very good crazy - somewhere in the mad scientist/eccentric vein of crazy. Glad you're on our side.

Thank you.
I may resemble that remark; but, I'd rather it be further on eclectic than eccentric side...

180 Yeah, it's a gift for me as I'm not completely crazy!

The other day, I had to explain to my son why anyone would buy their own Christmas gifts. He didn't see the point. I basically told him it was the best way to ensure you get precisely what you want.

181 Makes me want to test drive a used Aston-Martin right now. Will have to wait 'til Saturday ,,though. Maybe. Is there a dealership in the greater Cincinnati area?

Makes me want to bang a hot chick on a kitchen counter.

I'm pretty sure there are dealerships around here for that.

They're decorating.

I'm cooking another turkey tomorrow and the house lighting and Christmas decorations will be getting done with the 10yr olds help.

187 137 I bought a small deep fryer for my Xmas present from my wife. I've never fried food, and I'm starting to wonder if I made a mistake. I won't know until the first time I make fried chicken.m I'm kind of assuming it will be better than Popeye's or the Colonel's.
Posted by: Archimedes at November 28, 2024 12:02 PM (xCA6C)

Oh DAMN Man!
Better follow that up with a ton of other stuff.
NEVER...EVER...buy the wife a gift that requires being plugged in. The last time for me was five years ago and the bread maker is still in the box in my man cave.

You are correct but there's an exception to this rule. If your lady asked for the appliance then it's completely fine. My SIL always asks for appliances. I still pick on my brother for giving his wife a vacuum and he keeps saying that's what she wanted. YMMV

192 Here's a fun bit from an expat Englishman in the USA which concerns his comparison of actual Thanksgiving and a Steve Martin movie. And there's a cat.

The car has since been renamed the Faguar....
