Thanksgiving Thoughts

​This Thursday, we celebrate the quintessential, uniquely American Holiday called Thanksgiving. We remember the reason for the day, which we learned back in elementary school.

Of course, we were taught that the first Thanksgiving was a love-fest  between the surviving Pilgrims and the Native Americans in what became the Massachusetts Bay Colony, sitting down to a harvest meal, to give thanks  for the bountiful meal of turkey, pies, vegetables and other associated foods. And perhaps, as with every legend, there may be some truth to it.

But as we all know, legends have a way to gloss over the real events to create a myth which sounds so much better than the truth. Knowing this, we accept the positive version of what may not have always been the best outcome of human interaction.

Nevertheless, this week we will once again remember the fable we accept as truth as we sit down with family and friends to enjoy our annual harvest feast of turkey, potatoes, or even lasagna, and the scrumptious desserts of pumpkin, apple or coconut custard  pies, sfgoliatelle, cannoli, or pudding, reminiscing of earlier times, of dear ones no longer with us, honoring our freedoms which have been bequeathed to us from those who came before us.

And maybe even enjoy the parade, a football game or two, or even set our sites on the Christmas season that Thanksgiving traditionally kicks off, as we doze off after stuffing ourselves with our bounty. Or begin our quest to  prepare for Black Friday shopping.

Whatever you plan for this week, I wish for you a commencement to another joyous holiday season, with peace, love and joy for which we all aspire and desire. Happy Thanksgiving!

The Ongoing Epstein Saga

Not to belabor the point, as most of us are sickened by the immoral deeds of the disgraced pervert, Jeffrey Epstein, but it must be pointed out that a Democrat Represenative opened her mouth to let us know how stupid she is rather than staying quiet to leave us to question her stupidity.

It seems Representative Jasmine Crockett, D-TX, is so afflicted with TDS that she opened her mouth to accuse EPA Adminstrator Lee Zeldin for accepting campaign contributions from A Jeffrey Epstein before realizing that the contribution was from DR Jeffrey Epstein, the noted Long Island neurosurgeon, who the afforementioned  Congresswoman cited as the notorious sex trafficker.

In her rant, the Texas Democrat strongly implied that the Manhasset doctor’s April and August 2020 contributions to Zeldin, who is now head of the Environmental Protection Agency, were actually from the convicted pedophile, despite the fact that the $1,000 donations were made months after the disgraced financier died in a Manhattan jail cell.

Crockett boasted on the House floor this week that she was “gonna expose it all” after her discovery that “somebody named Jeffrey Epstein” donated to the campaign of the former Long Island Congressman.

This woman is so filled with rage and hate for Trump, and anyone associated with him, that she embarrassed herself AND her constituents when she spoke her vitriol before thinking of the consequences. That is how stupid she really is.

But the left-wing media will give her pass because she is a "darling" who seems to get away with her nonsense. And this time she may have gone too far.

After all, Dr Epstein certainly has a case to sue her for besmirching his reputation, especially since he is a private citizen who is not bound by current libel laws. Think about the masterstroke of revenge he could dish out on the loud-mouthed congresswoman who dragged his name through the mud.

It would be a lesson for ALL of America's political elite to finally learn it costs money, REAL MONEY, if they were truly impacted financially. Then we would see some sensibility return to the Congress.

Perhaps, this would be a long-term result of the Epstein Saga and he actually benefitted us all with his crimes.

We could only hope.

The First of Epstein's Players to Fall

It was reported this week that Larry Summers, the “respected” Harvard Economics Professor, suddenly resigned his long-standing teaching class at the University, when it was revealed he communicated extensively with sex predator Jeffrey Epstein.

“Mr Summers has decided it’s in the best interest of the Center for him to go on leave from his role as Director as Harvard undertakes its review,” a spokesperson told the Harvard Crimson Wednesday night.

Summers’ leave as director of the Mossavar-Rahmani Center for Business and Government at the Harvard Kennedy School, a role he’s held since 2011, is effective immediately, the Crimson reported. 

“His co-teachers will complete the remaining three class sessions of the courses he has been teaching with them this semester, and he is not scheduled to teach next semester,” his spokesperson said.

Larry Summers was a major leader in former President Bill Clinton’s Treasury Department from 1993, serving the last two years as Secretary of  the Treasury. He rolled that position into an appointment to President of Harvard University from 2001 to 2006.

Subsequently, he served as former President Barack Obama’s Director of the National Economics Council from January, 2009 until early 2011, when he rejoined Harvard in his now-resigned post.

He also joined the Board of Directors of the artificial intelligence organization, OpenAI in November, 2023 and served as a director until he resigned earlier this week.

And now, he is the first of many notables who have fallen because he felt it was in his best interest for his career and reputation to befriend Jeffrey Epstein. 

The only question is, “Who is next?”

A Seemingly Forgotten Day in America

​

It seems that after almost a year and a half since July 13, 2024, there would be some sense of closure, or at least a feeling that the investigation surrounding the attempted assassination of President Trump was moving to bring to light the reasons Thomas Crooks fired those bullets that warm summer evening. Or, how he was able to get onto that roof in the first place.

Until now, we have heard nothing from the FBI, the Secret Service, or even from any of the alleged “investigative reporters” who won Pulitzers while investigating the Russia Hoax.

Well, short of having shooting solved, there remains a bevy of loopholes:

- Whether Crooks acted alone, or had contact with agents of a foreign government

- Why the FBI never noticed or investigated Crooks’ violent rhetoric online

- Whether the FBI turned over all evidence it had to congressional investigators

- Did FBI investigators find all of Crooks’ online activity, or was some of it overlooked?

Crooks’ motive is just one of the major questions that remain unanswered in the 16 months since the attempt on Trump’s life, which left one beloved firefighter dead and two other Trump supporters critically wounded.

It is time for the Government to come clean and answer these questions before it becomes another attempt to hide the truth like the JFK, RFK and MLK coverups. 

And lead us to further distrust our government agencies.

The Epstein Fiasco

It has gone on too long. When he allegedly committed suicide in the Metropolian Correctional Center in New York City, it was deemed by many to be suspicious and unbelievable. After all, the security cameras failed to be working and the guards seemed to be missing or asleep at the same time.

On Wednesday last week, the House Oversight Committee released more than 20,000 pages of documents provided by Epstein’s estate.

In the emails, Epstein, who was found dead on August 10, 2019, in his Manhattan jail cell while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges, insisted that Trump was fully aware of his practice of grooming and sexually abusing girls as young as 14.

“Of course he knew about the girls as he asked Ghislaine to stop,” Epstein told discredited author Michael Wolff in a January 31, 2019, email, referring to his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell’s practice of recruiting victims from the spa at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort.

The following day, Epstein wrote in an email to himself that while “Trump knew of it. and came to my house many times during that period,” the future commander-in-chief “never got a massage.”

Considering that the Democrats controlled the Justice Department for four years, AND the amount of time and effort they spent trying to destroy Donald Trump with unsubstantiated and disproven charges, if there were any truth to allegations that Trump were a participant in Epstein’ debauchery, they certainly would have revealed every bit of it during the period of Biden’s term. But they didn’t.

Now, President Trump has decided to call the Democrats’ bluff.The president announced Friday that he would ask the Department of Justice and FBI to investigate the financier’s “involvement and relationship with Bill Clinton, Larry Summers, Reid Hoffman, J.P. Morgan, Chase, and many other people and institutions, to determine what was going on with them, and him.”

Knowing that there is a chance that many powerful Democrats and other notable figures could be implicated in this perverse practice of depravity, we may finally learn the extent of the hold Jeffrey Epstein had over so many participants who visited his private island.

And the disgrace and shame of these actions will be far-reaching beyond anyone’s imagination.

Krazy Kat is Determined to Destroy The City

It appears that Krazy Kat, the Governor of New York, has taken off her mask and has decided she will assist Commie Mamdani in his quest to blow up the Greatest City in the World. She has announced that she will raise taxes on corporations to fund his socialist agenda.

The result? A continued mass exodus to states more in line with free enterprise, like Florida and Texas. Soon, even the rich will leave the Empire State, leaving the poor to fend for themselves.

But at least they will shop for groceries at city-run stores. With no food on the shelves.

Hochul, who is up for re-election in 2026, is sticking to her vow to not hit high-earners with higher taxes, but has had preliminary conversations about raising revenue by upping the corporate tax rate, according to Politico, which first reported the story.

The hike would help fill the more than $4 billion budget gap facing the state next year and cover some of the costs associated with Mamdani’s socialist dream in the Big Apple once he becomes mayor.

The attack on her policies by both Bruce Blakeman and Elise Stefanik, her main opponents in next year’s Governor election, is expected to be a common refrain from the right as she he heads into what could be a bruising general election in 2026 after endorsing proudly socialist Mamdani in the mayoral race. 

Mamdani has called for jacking up the corporate tax from 7.5% to 11.5% to match the rate in New Jersey. And Krazy Kat is looking to go along with this.

She is signing on to the destruction of the City. And doesn’t seem to care.

The Failure of One Man

​

.So, after a bit of time off to deal with some health issues, I am back. 

First up, I want talk about the failure of that idiot from New York who is intent on destroying President Trump while proving his own incompetence. He thought he could convince the other Democrats to follow him blindly to the “Promised Land” by telling the lie about saving health care in America.

Well, after forty-plus days, the more intelligent Senators finally realized that shutting down the government was NOT  going to win over the Republicans or the American people. 

Airlines were cancelling flights, government employees and military were not getting paid, and those people dependent on SNAP benefits were not going to be able to possibly eat or feed their children.

Not a great look for what the Democrat Party stood for. It was because Schumer wanted to stick it to Trump. And he failed. Miserably.

And last night, the dumbest of the dumb continued to rail on about the travesty of the Republicans, when in reality, the Democrats proved they were not on board for representing their own constituents. Rather, they cited that the agreement reached to reopen the government would be harmful to their pet project, Obamacare.

Instead, the agreement would remove the largesse paid to insurance companies, and by extension, to their own campaign war-chests, and be paid directly to the AMERICAN citizens who need it most.

This process proved to the rest of us that the Democrats, led by Schumer, Jeffries and the progressive left, is no longer the party of JFK, FDR or Truman. Or even Jimmy Carter before he lost his way.

Late yesterday, after the House passed the CR voted on by the Senate, the  President signed the legislation, noting that many of the provisions were good through only January 30, while others would be effective through September. Basically, a short reprieve until we do it all again.

Perhaps, this time, Schumer and the Democrats will have learned a lesson  and work FOR Americans instead of illegals. It certainly was not a good look for them.

Maybe, it is time for Schumer to admit he screwed up and almost destroyed the Democrats in his revenge-play.
