It's The Most Wonderful Time...

 
...of the year...
that is too often trivialized.

Sandwiched between Halloween and Christmas, Thanksgiving gets treated like a speed bump on the Holidays Highway.

It’s been reduced to a game bird with cranberry sauce ("Turkey Day"), some family conflict, maybe a parade on TV and a football game or two, then on to what really matters:


...worshipping at the altar of retail.

A crime, really, since it's God's explicit will we be thankful:


That's a command, not a suggestion that we muster up some ethereal warm fuzzies.

A half hearted "thanks" in private or public prayer won't cut it; we need also to do something - share a meal, donate time, give $$'s.

This year, especially - when darkness has been beaten back and our descent into totalitarianism has been stayed - we should prioritize being truly thankful to God for His manifold blessings.


Join with all of God's people and make this year a sincere and thoughtful celebration of thanks to God in heaven.



Why is this man smiling?


Because he's welcoming Hitler, a fascist dictator, a threat to democracy to the White House.



Does that make sense to you?

gotta love Stan Laurel

It does if you remember this fundamental truth:

Democrats are liars.

They screamed at rallies and from the presidential bully pulpit that Donald Trump is Hitler, that he's a fascist, that he's a threat to democracy, and if elected he will throw his political enemies in jail and there will never be another free election in this country!

Even Queen Ozempic...

Oprah only charged Kamala a million $$'s to show up and fearmonger...such a deal

...railed from the stage that electing Trump would mean you may <never cast another ballot> again!

When one of their unhinged followers believed their tripe and came within a hair's breadth of assassinating Trump...


...did they apologize, dial down the hateful rhetoric and call for a sane return to reasoned debate of the issues?


Get serious. 

They knew their slanderous lies were dangerous but they were desperate to scare people into voting for them, since their record in office is atrocious.

Who in their right mind would vote for inflation, higher energy prices, never ending foreign wars, illegal immigration, rampant crime and censorship?

As it turns out - other than democrats - no one.

The people of this country - those with functioning brains - elected Donald Trump as president in a landslide:



So now Biden, who screamed that Trump will be the death of democracy, is smiling broadly and welcoming him to the White House.

You'd think they would be embarrassed at having their hypocrisy on global display, but like the emperor with no clothes...

 
...they're arrogant fools who possess neither conscience nor shame.

Remember this moment.

Never forget it.

Let it guide all of your future voting decisions.

If you do that, America will be fine.



I know you've been despairing ever since the golf course I frequent closed for the season...

she looks familiar for some reason...

...worried you'd have to wait until Spring for another HGU.

Well fear not, faithful reader...I haven't quit golfing, just focused my play on Ryan's Hickory Golf Course:



Though the signage has been stored away...

teeing off on the par 3 #5
 
...along with all the flags...

my 1 putt for par.  the greenskeeper must have the day off.

...it's still a blast swinging my pre-1900 hickories.

I just use wiffle golf balls from the tees and regular ones on the greens.

In spite of a few rough spots here and there...

the terminus of my tee shot on #9.  as Ted Ray opined in his day, "stymied by a monarch of the forest".

...I play them where they lie and enjoy the round...

my 1 putt for par on #9 to win the match

...win or lose.

What will I do when the snow flies?


Jump off that bridge when we get there, I guess.



Ok, hustle up for a brisk perambulation as we 23 Skidoo:

Larry's hunting up north...can you spot the partridge?


nature's camouflage


moonlight on the lake


mirror water


why marriages fail


not her fault; she only had a billion $$'s to spend, and all her millionaire celeb friends don't endorse for free you know...


my beautiful 1960's Philco record player has developed a turntable problem, just in time for Christmas 😭


thankfully it's Captain Weltron to the rescue while I get Phil repaired.  Christmas (music) is saved!




I've used this meme before...


...because it's such an accurate picture of the year end holiday scramble.

Our mad dash from Halloween to New Year's, while exhilarating, is often crammed with obligations social and financial, accompanied by crescendoing stress.

That makes it the perfect time for this reminder from God's Word:


peace out, mcm fans...

Something I Did Not Expect...


...to do again in my lifetime:  fly Old Glory.

After the farcical 2020 election I believed the USA was history, so took down our American flag and <raised the Christian flag> in its place.

But this week, by God's grace and in answer to the prayers of millions of Christians all across this fruited plain, evil was turned back and righteousness prevailed.


It's time to give thanks to God in heaven, embracing humility, prayer, commitment and repentance as we face the challenging days ahead.

you've got to know a little <Truman history> to understand the irony of this one...and Truman only had one opponent.

Has there ever been such an unholy alliance of diverse entities all focused on the destruction of one man?

It's unprecedented, dating back to 2016 when Trump announced his intention to run for president, and continues to this day.

They've thrown everything they can at him, from every different direction...


...all to no avail.

By now the truth should be clear even to low IQ dems:

In this moment, Trump is God's choice...


...a man with a mission to complete.

If you doubt that, recall the past four years.

During the election cycle of 2020 the dems were desperate to defeat Trump, but they had a major problem on their hands:

according to SNL, "Crazy Bernie" only has one pair of underwear...

Extremist nut case Bernie Sanders - democratically chosen winner of their primaries - was definitely NOT who they wanted as their nominee.

So, via their handy dandy "super delegates" escape hatch, they nuked him - shades of 2016! - and put forth instead a dementia patient as their nominee - 


- a man who had failed twice before at running for president:  once he withdrew under the cloud of plagiarism and the other he dropped out having garnered less than 1% of the primary votes.

Biden's reputation as a Senator was that of a plodding, unexceptional but reliable partisan hack; an old style retail politician who pressed the flesh and slapped backs, inflated his meager accomplishments and regularly inserted his size 10's into his constantly running mouth.

He also willingly toed his party's line and happily said and did whatever was expedient to enrich himself and further his political agenda.


In short, he was elevator muzak, the beige background to others' vibrant and more colorful political achievements.

He had little to commend him other than name recognition and the all important fact that he wasn't Bernie.

With time running out and no good options in sight, the dem power brokers counted on him being pliable and easily manipulated, the obedient puppet they needed to advance their radical agenda.

His worsening <dementia was both obvious and problematic>, but they hid him in his basement, avoided public appearances as much as possible, and hoped he would stick to the teleprompter when parading his corpse in public was unavoidable.

With the obedient apparatchiks of Big Media, Big Tech and Big Finance all marching in lockstep...


...the die was cast for the 2020 election.

Incredibly, they actually expected us plebes to believe 80+ million people voted for what was essentially the protoplasmic equivalent of a used tissue.


Here's a bar chart of the popular vote totals in recent presidential elections:


You can see dems averaged a little more than 65 million votes in 2012 - when their demigod Obama won his second term - in 2016 when Trump was elected, and in 2024 when Trump mopped the floor with Harris.

But hey!  Wouldja look at 2020:

In the Covid election - when existing laws were ignored, new ones were created by dictatorial fiat, and you could mail in your vote as many times as you wanted to scribbled on the back of a cocktail napkin - it's a democrat miracle!

From Zero to Hero, Biden the Bumbling Idiot got the most votes of any candidate in history.  Ever!!

Right...can you say "psychotic break with reality"?

And please, spare me the pearl clutching "election denier" accusations.

For those of you with short / convenient memories:


...<look it up> then look in the mirror.

How many dems still deny Trump was elected fairly in 2016?

Oh right; all of them.

So after 2020, I truly believed the integrity of our electoral process had been irreversibly compromised, rendering it completely untrustworthy.

And leading up to 2024, the Harris / Biden administration did everything they could to take Trump and his supporters out, including lawfare tactics normally only seen in 3rd world banana republics, and culminating in two assassination attempts.

A lesser man would have crumbled under these constant attacks and unrelenting pressure.

Not Donald Trump.  By God's grace he stood tall...


...rallied the troops, and soldiered on.

Still, the question remained: would the 2024 election be a sickening repeat the 2020 Covid debacle?

This is where you have to hand it to the RNC, specifically Lara Trump.


She and her team of poll watchers and legal experts <stymied the efforts of dems to cheat> in the swing states.

It was incredibly satisfying to watch their supposedly impregnable "blue wall"...


...get washed away by the Red Wave.

Compared to the chaos of 2020, the election of 2024 was an efficiently run affair; witness the fact we knew the winner that same night, not days or even weeks later with court cases pending as we were told to expect.

Nothing is ever perfect, but the result of all this effort was a secure and fair election with predictable results:  a landslide victory for Donald Trump, despite incompetent pollsters swearing it was "too close to call".  (Who pays these shysters and why??)


There's much that can still be improved, however, and hopefully will be addressed during the next 4 years.

Arizona with a population of 7 million, slow rolling the vote count for 6 days, when Florida with a population of 23 million does it the same day?

Sorry, that's not just gross incompetence, it's institutionalized cheating and needs to be addressed.

While the dems point fingers and scream at each other in the aftermath of their butt kicking, blaming the American people for being *ist (where * is whatever DEI related insult that suits them), the truth is far simpler:

They suck.

And we all know it.

They governed against the will of the people, funded foreign wars, imprisoned their political enemies, coddled illegal immigrants while Americans went begging, lied constantly about inflation...


...crime, the border, the economy, and called more than half the country "garbage".

What a surprise after four years of unprecedented failure and widespread suffering, the electorate booted their sorry carcasses to the curb.

Couldn't see that coming a mile away.

Now I know it's probably too much to ask...


...but if we can just have the cherry on top of this great big hot fudge sundae:

All the elites laboring under the delusion we care what they think will actually make good on their promise to leave the country since The Donald has been re-elected.


A helpful reminder:

You’re like trained circus seals; we pay you to entertain and serve, not lecture and moralize.

Stay in your lane.

Now, please honor your word, pack up your oversized egos and...


As Roger Clemens posted on X, Don't let the door hit you in the butt on your way out.



Of all the desperate tactics employed by dems to derail the Trump Train, the worst - the most damaging to the core principles of our constitutional republic that's based on the rule of law - has been the outrageous and dangerous use of lawfare.


These are frivolous and baseless lawsuits designed for the sole purpose of interfering in the 2024 election.

I have no doubt there will be many books written about this dark chapter in American politics, when the dems tore off the mask and renounced any pretense of legal propriety as they and their activist judges wholeheartedly embraced <kleptocracy> tactics.

So there's no need to delve into all of it here, but one person in particular deserves mention in this legal hall of shame:


New York AG Letitia James.

She openly campaigned in 2019 that she would "get Donald Trump", and then boasted on X that she would bankrupt him.

Now that Trump has won the presidency back in a landslide, all the federal cases are being dropped - further proof they were nothing but bald faced attempts at election interference.

But post-election win for Trump, James issued a bizarrely defiant statement about being ready to "fight back".

Against what?

The law and the overwhelming will of the people?

Trump attorney Mike Davis responded to her nonsensical posturing:




Now that's one legal outcome I'd love to see.



Don't know about you but that seems like more than enough for one blog entry; I say we 23 Skidoo:

missed the red white and blue


a seminar roger the elk should have attended


how sweet it is


the sisterhood of the unraveling pantsuits


check!


someone posted they saw Trump's shadow on November 5th, which means 4 more years


wish granted


Lord, let it be so




It's been a very long and distressing four years, living under autocratic rulers who have been intentionally lawless and bent on destroying this country as founded.

They have very nearly succeeded, inflicting damage that will not be easily nor quickly repaired.

Thank God that time is now coming to an end, with the promise of better days ahead.

From I Thessalonians chapter 5:

"16 Rejoice evermore;

"17 Pray without ceasing;

"18 In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you."
