J D’s billionaires are way worse than Trump’s. J D Vance must never become president. That’s what my research has revealed to me. Trump was supposed to execute the mostly published plan. Instead, he’s not physically or mentally able. Therefore, I prefer a charge of treason for him and his cabinet. I haven’t read anything online (news wise). Apparently, I enjoyed Thanksgiving but, no thing I’ve read so far changes my mind based on my research. Yes, you’ve written and stated a case clearly. Thank you! I appreciate your POV. I just needed to add mine. My 2 cents. Your daughter is wise - and that is a credit to her upbringing! Bravo!

I don't believe it. I just typed out my answer, and was nearing its finish, but I tapped a wrong key, and lost every bit of it. ( now I need to test my memory of what I had just written. [ and it was good. )

This Thanksgiving, my greatest 'thank you', was for my nations resilience. Never in the history of our generation have we felt such a challenge to keep our country, our own. Our ethical and moral truths were challenged.

We became complacent. We were known as a country of freedom. Those in other countries, looked at pictures of our " Lady Liberty", and sought after what we knew what it was like to be free.

BUT, IN THE BACKROUND A WOLF STOOD AT OUR DOOR. And it SNARLED, lusting after what was ours.

In 90% of stories written of battles between correct and incorrect actions, good triumphs. In our current battle, we face mind-control, diversion abuse, desired subservience, and the threat of losing our freedoms.We see those welcomed to our country, now rounded up with their futures unknown. We are witnessing one attempt after another, of breaking apart of the government that we claim as ours. We've earned it, family members have died for it, our country ground, holds our life's blood.

One may ask, in such an environment, how can we find something to be thankful for. Arrogance is unable to stand before Justice and survive.

OUR NATION WANTS OUR PEACE BACK, FAMILIES REUNITED, THE ABILITY TO WORK UNDER FAIR TAXATION, TO SEE OUR DISABLED AND ELDERLY FINDING THEIR DIGNITY AGAIN, TO SEE THE FAMILY OF LADY LIBERTY INCREASE.

I AM THANKFUL, THAT THE INVADING WOLF, GROWS WEAKER EVERY DAY. THAT NEW EYES OPEN EVERY DAY. THEY SEEK VIOLENCE- A TRAP WE WILL NOT FALL VICTIM TO.

I SEE GREAT VICTORY BEFORE ALL PEACEKEEPERS. We have our hope, and where there is hope, there is an always open door, through which, we will pass. Woe, to any seeking to stop us.

God bless our nation, our love of OUR nation, and our VICTORY!

Well-written, Brother.

Yes, KKKarolying Leavitt, it actually does make sense, now... that a-hole... sorry for the typo... whole "transparent" thing...

I like your work. But I think you have too much faith in the electoral system. Check out the 3 part series by, This Will Hold, on Substack. According to them, and they say they have the receipts, particularly from the NSA who did an election audit, that Harris and Walz won. It was election fraud that did them in. If so, there is no reason to suppose that the mid terms will be any better. We can't have 2026 done on compromised hardware. With compromised oversight, and compromised election equipment companies. We will lose again if we let this system continue.

Please read the articles. If you agree, then get the word out. If we don't stop the cheaters then all is lost.

2026 is do or die time.

I have been following This Will Hold I believe they cheated and will try again.

Liberaldad's avatar

Thanks Keith, I appreciate it. I'll give it a look.

I hope you’re right! I have followed you forever, love your work!

"Beware the law of unintended consequences" definitely applies to the election of DJT to a so-called "second term". After all the deliberate "divided and conquer" politics of the "Republican" party had the nation separated into "red" versus "blue" with MAGA leading the "red", we have had more movement towards a reunification in the last 10 months than we would ever have thought possible, as each outrageous move by the Mango Mussolini out does the previous ones. Just as housework is only noticed when it isn't done, government by the Civil Service is now being recognized by it's loss. The founding documents of the nation and the concepts therein had been under a pile of dust for quite a while, and now are being dusted off and actually reconsidered. And formerly uninterested Gen Z is now getting seriously involved in fighting back. Yes, these are definitely uncertain times, as well as a lot of hardship for a lot of people. But if the trend continues, we just might see a resurrection of the nation's original promise.

Thank you Erik for your clear thinking. Unfortunately, the Orangeman definitely doesn’t have that. If we’re blowing up and killing people in boats that are supposed to be narcotics dealers, why in the Good Lord’s name would he pardon a criminal narcotics dealer who is already in jail????

Thanks Erik. I know it's time to start looking back (only briefly), but thanks for those 250 articles. I only wish I'd read them all! The comments on Vance had me snorting my coffee this early Saturday am. #1 Chefson was here for an enjoyable week, we reluctantly sent him on his way back to Kentucky...Happy Thanksgiving, and let's all keep pushing (HARD!) forward.

I am so thankful that you are here.

Erik, you're a great dad & such a good human 🫂. I love your hope & fight! Much love back 💓

Liberaldad's avatar

Thank you. We have to stay resilient and positive through this even when it feels like there is no hope. In just barely a year our resistance has grown and it is working. Hang tight my friend.

A year ago we were just discovering the evil that was being unleashed in our country. May we find a way a new path forward. You are more optimistic than I am.
