POTUS weighs in

🚨 BREAKING: President Trump offers Rep. Haley Stevens (D) a spot in the Republican Party, and Speaker Johnson is worried for her safety after she backed Mike Rogers
Wow!
TRUMP: "I'd LOVE to have her. Mike, you talked to her!"
JOHNSON: I sent her a note...I told her how courageous she was...she's a good person...I encouraged her to stay safe. 🙏🏻
Think about that. A sitting Democrat congresswoman endorses a Republican, and the Speaker of the House feels he has to tell her to stay safe!
BECAUSE THE LEFT IS PSYCHO.
Her own mother says Haley was chased out of a park and called a "Zionist pig" this year
She should leave the party.

Thanksgiving 2026: Color Schemes That Look Polished and Feel Like Fall

Thanksgiving asks a lot of an outfit. It needs to survive a long meal, a warm kitchen, a cool porch, and at least a few photographs.

This year’s freshest direction leans into color stories that feel seasonal yet modern. Khaki with cream and tangerine offers a warm, approachable mix. Charcoal and mustard deliver clean contrast. Chocolate brown and olive bring earthy sophistication. And burgundy with blush pink remains the pairing everyone is talking about.

Khaki, Cream, and Tangerine
Khaki and cream create a soft, easy base that reads polished rather than plain. A pop of tangerine adds festive energy without tipping into costume territory. It is the kind of combination that feels intentional without trying too hard.

Chocolate Brown and Olive
Chocolate acts like a warmer black. It is rich, grounding, and flattering. Olive adds depth without competing. Together they feel elevated and sophisticated, the sort of look that is refined without being fussy.

Charcoal and Mustard
Charcoal provides a cool-leaning neutral. Mustard, ideally a golden or slightly muted ochre rather than pure yellow, injects warmth. The contrast is clean, modern, and perfectly polished for anyone who wants a fall feel without traditional earth tones.

Burgundy and Blush Pink
The season’s most talked-about pairing. Burgundy brings depth and richness while blush pink softens it and lifts the overall look. The tension between deep and delicate feels slightly unexpected. It is festive without being obvious.

For the Gentlemen
A cable-knit or fine-gauge sweater in burgundy, olive, or chocolate over tailored trousers or dark denim, finished with loafers or clean sneakers, is more than enough. A navy blazer adds polish without formality.

Thanksgiving is about gathering and good company. The right outfit simply lets you enjoy this time with a gentle nod to the season instead of looking like you were styled by the centerpiece. It frees you up to worry about more pressing matters, like the cranberry sauce setting or remembering to take the biscuits out of the oven before the smoke alarm goes off. Not that this has ever happened, of course.

Thanks, Piper!

The tape measure brings to mind the A&W Root Beer campaign that compared the new A&W one-third lb. burger to the similarly-priced McD Quarter Pounder.

When A&W hired a consumer research outfit to find out why its burger wasn't selling, it found that most of its customers thought a 1/3 lb burger was smaller than a 1/4 pounder. Four is bigger than three after all. That made the McD burger a better value.

One of the problems the CDU in Germany is having is that in their insistence that they will keep the AfD out of power no matter what, is that lots of CDU politicians realize this means allying with the Greens and the open Commies, so those politicians are sending out feelers to the AfD. The first one to break away is going to cause a collapse. Here it looks like Haley is the first one, and there is going to be a collapse.

And Trump welcomed her, and Johnson expressed concern for her safety, while her own previous allies are calling for her head and the end of her political career.
It probably won't win anything on its own, but it is probably enough.

If the CDU wanted to keep AfD out of power they had an easy move to make.

Offer a real, binding immigration moratorium.

If the issue the left has with AfD is they are NAZIs then surely they'd agree right? And AfD popularity would plummet.

And CDU would pick up almost all the AfD votes.

Now there is only one logical explanation for this - the CDU knows AfD aren't NAZIs and in fact the issue MOST important for them is flooding the country with foreign invaders because their current policies and statements support exactly that view of the world.

Posted by: Crusader

Been reading about it off and on now for two days now on X. Gist of it is Tusk is becoming unpopular, outsiders like LePen and the Netherlands are suggest Tusk back off, and Tusk admitted that the whole reason he pulled this stunt was to make sure that the opposition could not do a Polexit from the EU like Britain did. Tusk basically damned the UK voters to hell for that vote at the time.

So, apparently Tusk wants to send Polish gold to Frankfurt for disposal of the ECB (Poland has one of the largest gold reserves of any Euro country), switch from the zlotny Polish currency to the Euro, homogenize laws like abortion to conform to European Court of Justice standards, and open the door to migrants for Poland to take its fair share according to the EU.

88 So, apparently Tusk wants to send Polish gold to Frankfurt for disposal of the ECB (Poland has one of the largest gold reserves of any Euro country), switch from the zlotny Polish currency to the Euro, homogenize laws like abortion to conform to European Court of Justice standards, and open the door to migrants for Poland to take its fair share according to the EU.

91 Been reading about it off and on now for two days now on X. Gist of it is Tusk is becoming unpopular, outsiders like LePen and the Netherlands are suggest Tusk back off, and Tusk admitted that the whole reason he pulled this stunt was to make sure that the opposition could not do a Polexit from the EU like Britain did. Tusk basically damned the UK voters to hell for that vote at the time.

It looks to me like his coup failed, but now we are in some sort of odd state where he is still in power. The President controls the armed forces in Poland, not the PM. I imagine there are some interesting discussions going on between the PM and Chief of the General Staff

96 Polish opposition is becoming united against Tusk and are following the President's recommendation so far about his proposal of a reset of the constitutional court, requiring 3/5's majority for the new appointments, etc.

Tusk is insisting that his 'judges' must be seated but the problem is that the remaining justices on the court have announced that they will boycott a scheduled official meeting if Tusk tries to force that. Quorum is ten, Tusk appointed eight, several of these in contravention of Polish law and Constitution. Currently 15 on court and the court budget must be passed in the next couple of days. Without a quorum, court cannot operate nor without a budget.

So we see if Tusk doubles down. Ultimately it rests with police and the army. The police appear to be getting queasy about supporting an increasingly unpopular Tusk and his partisans in their power grab. And the Army permitted the President's plane to land at Warsaw against orders apparently of the Prime Minister Tusk.

EU so far is radio silent on the matter which is shredding its own credibility in other Euro countries and abroad as word gets around about this.

Polish Police Union criticized the government as they claim that the police were told they were to go to Warsaw to protect a large public event, not prevent the President from going into the Constitutional Tribunal building nor the judges that work there.

A rumor is floating around that some of these police could not appear to understand Polish and might have been German which if true, will set off a political bomb in both Germany and Poland.

Rumor is damaging enough. Plus the crowd caught a agent provocateur armed in the crowd and shoved him into a police car. Identified as a 'freelance security guy' that had special service in Ukraine. So rumors are flying around about who is involved in the conspiracy domestically and in the EU/Ukraine/Germany in specific.

One thing that this attempted coup has made crystal clear is that a successful coup requires either control of social media, or the ability to shut down social media.

Welp, Tusk is being called a mutt and German due to his ancestry. His grandfather was in the Wehrmacht in WWII.

Missouri solved illegal immigration. Other states just complain.

The Show-Me State didn’t talk — it acted:
• 2008: 90% of voters made English the official language. No government services in any other language.
• Cops must verify immigration status on arrest and report illegals to the feds.
• Zero access to food stamps or Missouri HealthNet.
• No taxpayer-funded financial aid for illegals at any public college — and schools must certify compliance every year.

Result: Missouri has almost no illegals. They simply aren’t welcome, and they get nothing from taxpayers.

Arizona and others spent years grandstanding while Missouri quietly locked the door. The media ignores it because the results expose the open-border failure everywhere else.

Other states could do the same. They choose not to.

The Taurids come from a debris stream of Comet Encke. And that comet has several streams associated with it.

And there is a tie in with the dreaded Younger Dryas. One of the other main streams hits around late June, and it comes out of the Sun on the morning side. Tunguska was a likely a fragment from this stream.

Anyway it is known that a large comet was the parent of Encke and all this and broke up somewherer around 20-10K years ago. That is known for certain.

And if the YD Impact Hypothesis is correct, that's the one, which likely peppered the Northern Hemisphere with a shotgun blast, equivalent to many Tsar Bombas going off all over the place, such as the big ice sheets and such.

"The persistence of this kind of nonresponse bias introduces the risk of a systematic polling error like those in 2016 or 2020."

"This cycle, Democrats are once again responding to Times/Siena polls at a much higher rate than Republicans. Across these final battleground polls, registered white Democrats were about 30 percent likelier to take the poll than registered white Republicans. That’s actually a bit higher than in the final polls in 2020."
