There is plenty to be annoyed, upset, and enraged by – the other 364 days a year I write about them. But being thankful is important because it puts things into perspective and reaffirms that all hope is not lost, that we can win, and that the edgy doomsayers are wrong. We will win, and being thankful for the small victories is vital to cultivating the morale necessary to achieve victory. Thanksgiving is the perfect venue to showcase your gratitude.
Let’s start with being grateful for being alive. You could very well not be, whether from the ravages of time or disease, or accidents or crime. We are not underneath a giant mushroom cloud, thanks to Ronald Reagan and us guys who were in the Cold War. Now, our crusty moron president seems to be doing everything possible to place us beneath one.
From his antics in Ukraine to his inexplicable suckuppery to the megaton mullahs of Iran, we have probably not been closer to Doomsday since Kennedy blockaded Cuba. But Biden is probably unaware of that, since he’s senile, and the regime media either won’t say or does not realize it. After all, the media is composed entirely of over-credentialed nepo babies who think history began with Obama, to the extent they are aware of it at all.
Note that neither Biden nor the regime media is something to be thankful for.
That we have not suffered a terrible terrorist attack despite having left the border entirely undefended is another thing to be thankful for. Unfortunately, the clock is ticking on that. I just finished a new novel on the subject, and my research has caused me to upgrade the threat level to “Scary As Hell.” But so far so good.
Be thankful that we have one and a half branches under the control of the freedom forces. The Supreme Court is out there throwing hands at lib dreams. Guns? No infringing means no infringing. Speech? We’re for it. Abortion? Send it to the states. Coming soon are some major limits on the bureaucracy and more religious freedom. Sweet. We also have the House, and Mike Johnson seems to be doing OK. His release of the J6 footage has confirmed what we all suspected – the entire insurrection narrative was a giant pile of horseSchiff.
Be thankful that the Democrats might lose the next election, and that the next Republican president will pardon every single J6 political prisoner. We need to win. Biden is terrible, and everyone knows that this 81-year-old walking slab of botoxed tofurkey is somewhere between senile and slobbering. His own party knows he has to go, but the recent loss of yet another cycle the GOP should have won – the Democrats are super thankful for Ronna McDaniel – has made it hard to replace him. Hey, his handlers say, he keeps winning! Well, it’s probably more like we Republicans keep losing, but this will keep him on the ticket. Least thankful – Gavin Newsom. All those Fox appearances and President Xi brownnosing for nothing!
The polls are looking good for Republicans in 2024, and I guess we should be thankful for it. After all, it beats the alternative. I don’t buy it, especially a year out, but if given the choice between “Ahead” and “Behind,” I’ll take the former.
We should be thankful that the entire COVID narrative has collapsed, and that the informal social accounting (if not the judicial ones that should be coming) has finally begun. You have the loathsome Randi Weingarten now absolutely denying she ever wanted to close a single school, and The New York Times is acknowledging that doing so stunted a generation of kids. What it has yet to admit is that the COVID fascism happened because of the panic of the mentally ill liberal Chardonnay women who demanded it, but it is hard to imagine that the NYT will confront its key reader demographic with that undeniable truth.
Speaking of media, we still have conservative media despite the best efforts by the left (and some on the right) to crush it. State attorneys general are pursuing a suit over federal censorship – I am proud to be No. 111 on the Top 5000 Government/NGO/Regime Media gag order list! And we can speak relatively freely on Twitter/X – be thankful for Elon Musk, though it is kind of a sad state of affairs where our right to free speech depends so much on an eccentric billionaire’s whims.
Another thing that we should be thankful for, sort of, is that America has achieved another milestone by passing the 500 million mark in privately-owned firearms. Sure, that’s progress, but a half-billion is a rookie number. We can do better! A billion or bust – buy guns and ammunition!
Of course, you should be thankful for family and friends. One of the keys to establishment power is alienating you from others via technology and propaganda. The family, friends, churches, and other extra-governmental groups are all competition to the institutions that want to control you. The establishment wants to be your only family, friend, faith, and affinity group. Don’t let it. Be thankful for what you have. This is my first Thanksgiving without a living parent, and appreciate and be thankful for those who are here because they won’t always be…and you won’t always be either.
And be thankful to God. There’s a reason our enemies hate religion and the religious – faith is the antidote to fascism.
Finally, be thankful you only have one Thanksgiving menu a year. Be mad if you want, but turkey is almost always mediocre, and stuffing is gross. Cranberry stuff is nasty too. That’s what I think, and that’s what I am saying, and I am thankful I am in America where, at least for now, I can say what I think.

Some of the most thankful people are those who refused the vaccine clot shots and rejected the fear propaganda campaigns. And still do to this day.
I’m only thankful that all of us “Conspiracy Theorists” have not only proven to be correct about everything, so far…but we haven’t taken the disclosures far enough….
And the Goyim are still in denial…but their financial pain and fear is proving to be very good medicine for Red-Pilling them all!!!

“…my research has caused me to upgrade the threat level to “Scary As Hell.”
the action of those allowed in on our southern border will start before long. that’s the plan so the feds can rush in and solve the problem they created, taking our rights in the process. when it starts, many people will fall over themselves selling their souls to the enemies that have caused the problem. at this point, all domestic enemies will be identified.
I’m thankful that the same suspects haven’t piled on the author.
yeah. They’re usually pretty LIBERAL in their piling on. I’ve participated a time or ten myself. after that you just have to ask yourself “what’s the point?’.
