You’re going to need a lot of green stuff this Thanksgiving, and I don’t mean peas and lettuce. Thanks to the turkey in the White House, inflation on traditional Thanksgiving foods is higher than tempers after your uncle from L.A. introduces politics at the dinner table. Craig Bannister reported for Media Research Center’s CNSNews on Nov. 15 that the “Cost of Traditional Thanksgiving Food Items Rising Faster than Overall Inflation.” If you thought your last trip to the grocery store was expensive, wait until you stock up for Turkey Day.

The cost of going home for Thanksgiving is much higher. Bidenomics is a disaster. Someone tell the Republicans, please.

The official position of the Biden administration is that everything is fine, and the voters are just too stupid to understand a good thing when they see it.

I made scones for a bake-off at work. Butter, sugar, eggs, flour and spices were all WAY higher than they were last year. Everyone in my neighborhood is talking about how expensive food is.

It's only logical that gouging on prices will be highest on items where consumer desire is peaking. Like gas on Memorial Day weekend, or Hallowe'en candy.

Naturally, the MSM is touting that this year's Thanksgiving ingredients cost less than last years. Same with gas. However, they never compare it to what it was before Biteme took over.

I buy a low cost frozen turkey every Thanksgiving, in 2020 it was was $.59/lb, yesterday it was $.79lb. Since I went to school many years ago I can do math in my head, that's a 33.3% increase in 3 years. I can't remember the prices of all the other stuff. fjb

On Friday Night Speaker Mike Johnson fulfilled his commitment to release the security camera footage from the January 6, 2021 protests at the US Capitol.

On January 6, 2021, four Trump supporters were killed. The sham January 6 Committee did not even investigate the deaths of these Trump supporters in their politicized investigation. The four Trump supporters were barely mentioned in passing in their final report. At least two other Trump supporters were nearly killed by police that day. Philip Anderson was knocked out, gassed, and smothered by police that day. J6 political prisoner Jake Lang dragged him to safety and saved his life.

We can't dance around this issue any longer: When it comes to antisemitism in the Western world, the face is wretchedly ugly and, in large part, female. It starts in the halls of Congress and oozes its insidious way onto college campuses and fills city streets. Too many women loathe Jews and support Hamas, and they need to be shamed for it. It is ignorant, it is evil ... and it is the antithesis of feminism. Rashida Tlaib, of course, distinguishes herself when it comes to Jew hatred; her smug face is the very embodiment of the dangerous "From the river to sea" slur that calls for the extermination of Israel

In its efforts to portray Donald Trump as the most despicable person ever, the Left slanders him daily in ways unprecedented in American history. If Trump makes an exaggeration, which he is prone to do, he's called a liar. When Trump achieved anything of note in office, the Left cherry-picked minor aspects that could be criticized and elevated beyond their stature. Those on the Right recognize the more profound, universal truths that Trump espouses. Hence, they attend his rallies by the tens of thousands. Hardly anyone is eager to attend a Joe Biden rally. Why? An Administration Built on Lies Joe Biden, beyond his word salad bumbling, is an incredible liar,

Brown, who had been battling stage-4 lung cancer, died at his house on Thursday night, a representative told TMZ. “George Brown died November 16, 2023 in Los Angeles after a battle with cancer,” the representative said. “Brown has co-written many of the band’s iconic songs, including ‘Ladies Night,’ ‘Too Hot,’ ‘Jungle Boogie,’ ‘Celebration,’ and ‘Cherish.'” “When asked to describe his music, Brown always replied, ‘The sound of happiness,'” the rep added.

The NRA is blasting California for “shredding” the Second Amendment rights of a Los Angeles man who used a firearm to protect himself and his family when would-be robbers pulled a gun on him as he was about to open his front door. "After successfully defending my home and my family and my 5-month-old child, California has now decided to suspend my Second Amendment [rights]," L.A. resident Vince Ricci said in an NRA video about the incident. Ricci’s home surveillance footage shows two men jump the wall in front of his home and come up behind him, pointing a gun at his chest as he turns around.

An illegal alien convicted of raping a child in Brazil has been found living on Martha’s Vineyard, the elite island off the coast of Massachusetts, after having successfully crossed the United States-Mexico border. Saulo Cardosa, a 37-year-old illegal alien from Brazil, was arrested on Martha’s Vineyard by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents this month, according to Ted Daniel with Boston 25 News. In May 2019, Cardosa was convicted of raping a five-year-old child in Brazil and subsequently sentenced to 14 years in prison. Sometime after his conviction, Cardosa fled to the United States by illegally crossing the nation’s porous southern border where millions of “got-aways” enter, undetected by Border Patrol, every year.

Well before playing Geordi La Forge on "Star Trek: The Next Generation," LeVar Burton was encouraging children to read in the iconic "Reading Rainbow." I remember watching the show as a youngster in the '80s and have had tremendous respect for Burton’s commitment to encouraging children to read. But that respect is out the window now. Burton hosted the National Book Awards this week and remarked at the opening of the ceremony, "Before we get going, are there any Moms for Liberty in the house? No? Good.

Waters has been virulently anti-Israel for many years. He most recently raised eyebrows for being accused of wearing a “Nazi-like” uniform during a performance in Berlin, Germany, just this year.

And the fraud schemes range from the clever to plans so stupid you have to wonder who was dumber — the fraudster or the government manager who approved the funds. No one was fired for the malfeasance, the negligence, the stupidity, the laziness, or the sheer, shocking incompetence involved in losing hundreds of billions of dollars to criminals and ordinary people who saw that a child could rob the government of hundreds of thousands of dollars without any effort at all.

The West Virginia Democrat gave low marks to the two parties’ frontrunners, President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump.He told FNC host Bret Baier he had little confidence in either and warned of consequences if Trump were to win a second term. “Well, first of all, we don’t know on Super Tuesday who the two candidates may be on the Democrat and Republican side,” Manchin said. “But right now, I guess all odds are they will be Donald Trump and Joe Biden.

U.S. energy experts are warning of the economic and national security implications of President Biden's pact with China this week to move towards shutting down fossil fuel production in favor of green energy. The State Department announced this week it had struck a deal with its Chinese counterparts pledging to "accelerate the substitution for coal, oil and gas generation" with green energy sources like wind and solar power. The nations, which account for nearly half of global greenhouse gas emissions, also agreed to "deepen policy exchanges" on reducing carbon emissions in various sectors, like power, industry, buildings and transportation, across their economies.

President Joe Biden will use special wartime powers to boost US production of heat pumps, by funding nine manufacturing projects with $169 million from last year's climate bill, the Energy Department said on Friday. The awards were granted under the emergency authority of the Cold War-era Defense Production Act (DPA), which Biden invoked on the basis of climate change to boost spending on clean energy technology. 'The President is using his wartime emergency powers under the Defense Production Act to turbocharge US manufacturing of clean technologies and strengthen our energy security,' said Biden's National Climate Advisor Ali Zaidi

As Netflix launches its final season of “The Crown,” focusing on Princess Diana, her boyfriend Dodi Fayed, and his billionaire father, Mohamed Al-Fayed, many viewers will be retold the story of Diana’s shocking death through TV news flashes. Personally, I remember getting the news in a phone call from the White House. When Diana and Dodi were killed in Paris, I was working at the American Embassy there. A career FBI agent, I was assigned to Paris as the legal attaché, meaning I was the U.S. government’s official liaison with French law enforcement. Later, my private work as a consultant would draw me more deeply into the investigation of the tragedy.

The letter, addressed to “Former Service Member,” states that there is new Army guidance that would correct military records of those kicked out, which would enable those who were removed and had their DD-214s marked with a certain code barring them from reentering service to be able to return. The letter instructed former soldiers on how they could get their records corrected, then added:

Nothing's as expensive as cheap imported labor, and New Yorkers are about to find that out the hard way. According to the New York Post: The NYPD’s force will be reduced to just 29,000 cops by the end of fiscal year 2025 — the lowest level since the mid-90s — amid a slew of city-wide budget cuts revealed by Mayor Eric Adams Thursday as the Big Apple grapples with its multi-billion-dollar migrant crisis. Under City Hall’s newly unveiled updated 2024 financial plan, the next five police academy classes will be axed — essentially decimating an already strained department as roughly 4,500 officers are expected to leave their ranks within the next 18 months.

But despair is not a plan. It is past time to impose order on anxiety.” The article does not suggest any plan to “impose order” on American democracy.In prior decades, establishment groups often offered concessions — mostly insincere — to millions of ordinary U.S. voters.
