Giving Thanks And Suggestions

It’s the eve of turkey day, with the promise of joyous family get-togethers to celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday.

Traditionally, the only downer on this day of thanks is the customarily tepid slate of football on the menu. That is true in spades this time.

But, in 2024, it also is just a few weeks after a presidential election, and the losers are feeling, shall we say, butt hurt.

They are the ones who cannot accept the outcome, taking to social media to shave their heads, promise to deny sexual favors, and run off to some far land, all in sad, futile protest. Be gone, I say to them, on topics of hair, sex and residency.

This is but a small percentage of the far left population, admittedly. Most of them just plan on avoiding on this holiday friends and family who voted MAGA, or, even worse, they will show up at family gatherings to dispense their typical harangues that are long on emotion and short on fact.

My first topic of thanks on this occasion is that the small knot of family who will share our feast numbers exactly zero crazed leftists who voted for Kamala Chameleon. By the way, did you also think she looked a tad off in her recently released video? Has anyone checked the liquor cabinet recently?

There will be no one at my dinner table putting canned goods in socks and wielding them like weapons, as one online video proposes as a way for leftists to show their disdain for Trump and all things MAGA.

I’m a bit sad on that front, because I’d love to give such a person the chance to pay the physical price for such absurdity. But, I digress.

In the past, when I wrote for money, I often would offer up a Thanksgiving column in which I took the liberty of sharing my list of things for which I would give thanks, along with suggesting to others items for which they should be grateful.

Let’s start the 2024 example.

I’m thankful for a loving family and the ability to pay for the meal, despite the 30-percent inflation over four years visited upon us by Clueless Joe and Kamala Chameleon.

I’m thankful for the generally good health of the family and friends.

I’m thankful a guy named Trump is headed back to the White House, and that an increasing amount of the population seems to be getting it in that Woke is comatose living, that DEI is DIE, that borders should not be open gates, that committing crime should have consequences and that traditional values upon which this nation was built are not figurative pinatas to be smacked at every occasion.

On a lighter note, I’m thankful I’m not Prince Harry, who’s thrown his royal family under the bus for an attention seeker who now will show him the underside of public transportation with a “professional separation.”

I’m thankful I don’t live in Minnesota, where Tampon Tim has been banished to ruin the lives of those there.

I’m thankful I no longer wager on sports because it would be hard to resist putting a few bucks on the 8-3 Steelers as three-point underdogs vs. the 4-7 Cincinnati Bengals, even if the game is being played on the Bengals’ home field.

I’m thankful I’m not Robert De Niro, George Clooney, Bruce Springsteen, Rachel Maddow look alike Mark Cuban, or any number of leftists who went all-in for Kamala Chameleon, berating Trump and his supporters along the way, and now have to look at themselves in the mirror. And, as far as we know, they didn’t come away with a spare $2 million for the exercise as Oprah did.

I’m thankful I never went hunting with Tampon Tim or Dick Cheney and never will.

Now for suggestions to others.

Hunter Biden should be thankful Big Guy Joe is likely to grant him a pardon on the way out the door. Admittedly, if Clueless Joe is successful in touching off World War III, a pardon would be the last of Hunter’s concerns.

Alec Baldwin, while he’s in Italy describing Americans as clueless and uninformed, should be thankful his act of being clueless and uninformed on a movie set (he didn’t know the gun was loaded!) was enough to get him out from under an involuntary manslaughter charge, for now. That dismissal is being appealed.

Hosts of The View should be thankful the ABC lawyers are keeping tabs on them and requiring them to read on-air an ever-increasing list of disclaimers and clarifications to avoid legal redress for their absurd claims.

A lot of prominent Democrats should be grateful that Jeffrey Epstein “committed suicide” five years ago, ironically while under suicide watch. Alas, Diddy lives, and Trump is coming into power, which just might mean some embarrassing revelations will be forthcoming.

Happy Thanksgiving!
