10 Happy Thanksgiving from Canada!

We had our friends over from across the street for 2.5 hours.

The 3 girls decorated the tree. The dog got tons of treats. Their cats hid and stayed away. The wife brought over chili with tons of toppings, homemade bread, homemade pumpkin pie with homemade whipped cream. We bought a huge pizza for the kids.

Tons of leftovers.

The kids loved their Christmas gifts. But they're incredible kids - brought gifts for my mother, decorated the tree, helped me put the boxes away, cleared the table of dishes, started washing dishes but I said that was alright And they put all the gift wrapping in the trash.

So our 4th Merry Christmas in November was a great success.

So tired...

Biden has never been a real president and it's been clear since he dropped out of the race he isn't doing anything.

Trump is already getting shit done and won't even been inaugurated until January 20th. We are about to see shit happen we didn't even think possible a month ago.

Reagan's 707 is no longer airworthy? I wonder if they removed the engines from the nacelles to make it lighter for suspension.

Remember that movie, what is it called? Battleship Los Angeles, I think? USA is under attack and the ONLY ship that can fight is an old WWII relic on display as museum piece.

Wouldn't it be cool if they made a movie about the USA under attack and the only available "fighter jet" was Reagan's 707?

104 As NYS resident, I encourage the State to secede. Then the red counties can secede from NYS and we're left with cities ripe for a sack and pillage.

116 Quite something to watch Joe Rogan take the red pill in real time. He's learning things we've all known but they're all new to him. Better late than never but wow.

My original career track was political lawyer. I was even a volunteer for Nixon when I was a kid. What most people think about Watergate is a lie, by the way.

Been following politics my whole life. What's happening right now is so much bigger than a single election. Tectonic plates of politics and more importantly culture are shifting.

There's going to be lots of "wow" happening.

Yes, when he was laying in state there. The crowd was silent save for some quiet sobbing.

==================
One of my most vivid memories about Reagan is the way throngs of people lined the road as his body was being driven up to his final resting place. Thousands and thousands of people paying their final respects. I don't remember that happening to anyone before or since.

I hope I live long enough to see that happen with Trump.

Ronald Reagan and Yasser Arafat died the same year. It was a very interesting contrast in how the citizens of the United States treated their former leader compared to how the "citizens" of "Palestine" treated theirs.

Weren't today's "Palestinians" Egyptians and Jordanians before Egypt and Jordan abandoned them after losing Gaza and the West Bank as a result of the 6-day war with Israel?
