Thanksgiving
Another Thursday, another Thanksgiving! Yay!
I hope everyone is having a great holiday, with good food, family and friends (if one desires), and loved ones. I would like for all of us who have been ill from whatever cause to have a wonderful day and, I dunno, maybe the powers above (and/or below) would let everyone get better? That would rock!!
Traditional Thanksgiving Dinner from here.
Somehow the original template just disappeared from this site. So will cobble it together
It is up to about a dozen forlorn emails to "me" from the Republicans whose outreach program has mistaken me for MAGA stalwart. I posted most of these missives here because I find their Hijinx to be risible.
The latest one shows a change in tone, from nervous insecurity to panic:
From the Scalise office:
We’ve lost every race this fall.
There is only one opportunity left to build momentum before the Midterms
~~ Violence Against Women, had been taken down, I put it back up in my files
I have previously posted several "personal" email messages from the Red Side. The cloying praise for my non-existent donations to and support for the MAGA cause is both risible and telling. We live in an utterly fraudulent political culture.

~~ Dead End
So a 28 point Ukraine peace plan has been leaked...most of which seems unrealistic to me. Perhaps it will serve as a starting point for conversation and reconciliation. Just returning to normal relations...like we had during the entire "cold war", would be an improvement. Things like having functioning embassies, direct flights, trade...would be a step in the right direction. Meanwhile in SW Asia, we have the Gaza (and West Bank) genocide continuing under the cover of a supposed ceasefire. Many continue to think a new conflict with Iran is in the offing. The aggression against Venezuela seems to be in a holding pattern. Perhaps someone has explained to Trump what an utter shitshow an invasion would be...at least I hope so. Here at home the government reopened with a whimper. The unclassified Epstein files were voted to be released, to which Pam Bondi declared "new information" has caused her to reopen the case and classify most of the documents. Nothing to see here...move along! The big news here locally is MTG has resigned. Many speculate she's planning a presidential run?
