Kittle: 12 Things To Be Thankful For This Post-Election Thanksgiving

  1. We certainly have an abundance of blessings to count following America’s latest political war, a cornucopia in the parlance of Thanksgiving. […] I’m proud to report the republic won — this time.  That’s not to say the exceptional, shining “city on a hill” is no longer in peril. Like rust, the left never sleeps. So liberty warriors, too, must remain wide awake. […] So here I humbly submit an abridged list of the many things we can truly be thankful for this post-election season. Competence is back in fashion after four years of bogus “border czars”DEI hires, and a mashed-potatoes-cognition commander-in-chief. You could say we literally dodged a bullet.
  1. We will no longer have to hear Kamala Harris tell us over and over again that she “grew up a middle-class kid,” in a “middle-class family,” with “middle-class roots.” The folksy campaign messaging was as awkward as it was untrue.
  1. Now only Minnesota will have to suffer with the absurd narrative that Tampon Tim Walz is a real man, man’s man, regular guy. Maybe Captain Flannel will now have some time to learn how to properly load the gun that he never carried in war.

NOTABLE QUOTES

Jim Hoft contributor to Gateway Pundit: In a historic and unprecedented move, President-elect Donald J. Trump’s transition team announced Tuesday that it has reached an agreement with the outgoing Biden White House to initiate the formal transfer of power. Unlike previous transitions, however, Trump has chosen to forgo federal funding and General Services Administration (GSA) resources, opting instead for a privately funded and self-sufficient operation that will not utilize government technology or office space. This bold decision reflects Trump’s commitment to saving taxpayers’ money while avoiding the pitfalls of entrenched bureaucracy and potential interference from the “Deep State.”

Charlie Kirk posted on X: . . . those responsible for these desecrations of our Republic MUST be held accountable. Those who coordinated the unprecedented legal assault against President Trump, J6ers, pro-lifers, church-going Catholics and others, must be made an example of. Many should be fired. Others may need to be indicted, perp-walked, and incarcerated. That’s not retribution — it’s justice. It’s what must be done to safeguard America’s future for our children. If you attempt to turn our home into a Third World banana republic, you must pay a very heavy price. Our nation was saved by a historic confluence of miracles, but we will need saving again in the future, and we cannot simply move on this time. The same cretins will regroup, and a line in the sand must be very clearly drawn now.

Thomas Sowell: “You will never understand bureaucracies until you understand that for bureaucrats, procedure is everything, and outcomes are nothing.”

Bill Flax contributor to Forbes: Americans understood freedom without morality quickly devolves into debauchery. Whether from sincere faith, or, prudence instilling an honest, law-abiding, responsible and hardworking populace, all esteemed biblical morality as the bedrock of self government. George Washington believed, “Religion and morality are indispensable supports” for “it is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible.”

Foundation Father Threadreader post: Unwin: “Any human society is free to choose either to display great energy or to enjoy sexual freedom; the evidence is that it cannot do both for more than one generation.”  Sexual freedom unleashes all sorts of demons on a society. Couple it with modern medicine, which basically baptizes sexual debauchery with antibiotics and abortion, and you have an acceleration of collapse.

Julie PonesseIf author of Our Last Innocent Moment started writing her book the day after WHO declared COVID an emergency: If there can possibly be anything good to come out of the horrors of the last three years, it is this: some of us, at least, have been shaken awake. We now know that we are under attack. We are under attack not so much for the particular things we say or do but simply for wanting to be free, for wanting to be able to think through our lives, and for wanting our lives to be the products of our own choices. Whatever happened over the last few years, we have been fundamentally changed by it. There’s no reclaiming the innocence we lost. Life is more serious now.

Holloway: America Was Founded as a Christian Nation

ADVERTISEMENT

Public Christianity was bound up with the founding of the American nation. Accordingly, public Christianity should be viewed as an expression of America’s traditional identity rather than an alarming departure from it. In his celebrated Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States, Justice Joseph Story admirably explained the Founding generation’s understanding of the relationship between Christianity and politics. Public Christianity, Story suggested, was part of the formative American political experience leading up to independence. Almost “every American colony,” he observed, “from its foundation down to the revolution…did openly, by the whole course of its laws and institutions, support and sustain, in some form, the Christian religion.” Indeed, we are still reminded of this history by the celebration of Thanksgiving, which inevitably calls to mind the Pilgrim settlers of Plymouth who came to America to establish a more faithful Christian society. […] On the Founding view, and contrary to the fears of contemporary secularists, we can encourage religion while also respecting individual freedom, because the government’s authority to support belief is not the same thing as an authority to require it. These reflections are timely not only in relation to Thanksgiving but also in light of the recent election. Restoring public respect for religion while at the same time scrupulously respecting individual freedom of conscience is a key element of any movement that seeks to make America great again.

Finn: Parents vs. LGBTQ+ Ideology

Back in 1983, KGB defector Yuri Bezmenov stated that it takes 15-20 years to indoctrinate a generation. That’s the length of time it takes to educate one child. He called it “ideological subversion” […] It’s deeply upsetting when kids come home from college spouting rhetoric that would have once been unthinkable for them. It’s worse when they come home from high school, middle school, or even elementary school with such ideas. […] The sudden rise in young people with gender identity (GI) issues has been startling, to say the least. Brown University professor Dr. Lisa Littman studied 250 families whose children developed GI during or right after puberty. She described what she called “Rapid-Onset Gender Dysphoria” (ROGD) that developed from social pressures. […] Parents first got a glimpse into what schools were teaching during COVID when they viewed take-home school work and streamed lessons. They are (or should be) shocked and outraged when their children are suddenly and disturbingly concerned with highly-charged sexual issues, or confused about their own sexual identity. A cursory internet search yields stories of teachers bragging about indoctrinating their students into LGBTQ+ ideology sometimes leading to gender dysphoria.

Foundation Father: Oxford anthropologist J.D. Unwin studied 86 societies and civilizations to see why some collapse and others don’t. What did he find? That sexual debauchery leads to the collapse of a civilization within 3 generations.

Unwin defined four categories of cultures. Each is differentiated in its pursuit of art, engineering, literature, agriculture, etc. 1. Dead – these cultures are only focused on the day-to-day needs of life. They don’t care about higher questions and so do not progress. 2. Superstitious – these cultures develop beliefs that help them explain the natural world. This can be represented in the special treatment of the dead. 3. Deistic – characterized by belief in gods or a god. This requires more imagination and higher-order thinking 4. Rationalistic – characterized by rational thinking. This was the category with the most human flourishing. Next, Unwin defined sexual ethics and restraint into two categories. Unwin’s two categories of sexual ethics and restraint: […] In the West, the sexual revolution started in the late 1960’s. Three generations (~40 years each) from then would put us in the 2070s. Are we on the way to collapse? The evidence points to “yes.”

Harvey Risch, MD: Big Pharma Still Won’t Come Clean About The Covid Shot’s Deadly Side Effects

The code of medical ethics demands a transparent and balanced accounting of the vaccine’s impact on the American people. On Thursday, Joe Rogan and Marvel megastar Josh Brolin traded stories about the preponderance of Covid vaccine injuries among their friends. Brolin even described contracting “a mild case of Bell’s Palsy” earlier this year, which Rogan attributed to the vaccine, noting he knew several people who suffered facial paralysis following Covid vaccination. […] An honest accounting begins with clinical trials, supposedly “the most rigorous in history.” Pfizer’s own legal arguments suggest otherwise. Responding to a whistleblower lawsuit alleging major deviations from protocol, Pfizer’s lawyers noted that the company’s “Other Transactions Authority” agreement (OTA) with the Pentagon didn’t require clinical trials to comply with FDA regulations because the vaccine was a military prototype for “medical countermeasures.” This agreement allowed Pfizer to “grade its own homework,” so to speak — a point emphasized by DOJ lawyers in a separate filing in Pfizer’s support. The FDA intended to keep Pfizer’s data hidden for 75 years,

Justice: Biden Proposes $35 Billion Handout For Big Pharma’s Lucrative Weight Loss Drugs

resident Joe Biden has set the stage for an immediate showdown between Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and pharmaceutical companies over the outgoing administration’s proposal to cover diabetes drugs for weight loss under federal insurance programs. Early Tuesday morning, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) unveiled the proposed rule to subsidize the popular medications. “It’s a good day for anyone who suffers from obesity,” HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra told The Associated Press, calling government coverage “a game changer for Americans who can’t afford these drugs otherwise.” […] Kennedy, who was nominated to replace Becerra by President-elect Donald Trump, will have to approve the new rule if confirmed in the new administration. Just one month ago, however, Trump’s potential new HHS chief slammed the latest class of weight-loss drugs as something of a false promise. […] The drugs themselves, meanwhile, come with substantial risks.

Reyes & Propper: US-backed cease-fire between Israel and Hezbollah takes effect

Israel’s cease-fire with Hezbollah terrorists took effect early Wednesday morning — 14 months after war broke out between the two sides in Lebanon. The Jewish state’s security cabinet signed off on the US-backed agreement, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu approved the proposal Tuesday leading up to the pause in fighting that started after Hamas terrorists launched its deadly attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. The cease-fire calls for a 60-day pause in the fighting, starting at 4 a.m. local time as both the Israel Defense Forces and Hezbollah terrorists clear out of southern Lebanon.

Greenfield: Biden Admin Used Arms Embargo Threat to Save Hezbollah From Israel

“Threatening to facilitate a further, broader, binding international arms embargo.” The Biden administration, the media and the rest of the political infrastructure are billing this as a ‘ceasefire’ deal. In reality, it’s a worthless agreement with Lebanon’s puppet regime which is controlled by Hezbollah. Hezbollah has made it clear that it’s going to continue attacking Israel and is claiming victory. Biden described this as a “proposal to end the devastating conflict between Israel and Hezbollah”, but it does no such thing. What it does is allow Hezbollah to rearm and launch the next wave of attacks. So why did Israel agree to it?

Gomez: ‘Get the Hell Out the Way’: Homan Torches Dem Mayors Calling Deportations ‘Cruel,’ Warns of Fallout for Blocking Plan

Former U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Director Tom Homan, Tuesday on Fox News, called out Democratic mayors who have labeled President-elect Donald Trump’s mass deportation operation “cruel,” and he warned of the repercussions they could face if they attempt to block the plan. […] “Well, first of all, what’s cruel about it? We have a massive illegal immigration flow on the border, historic flows that overwhelm the Border Patrol, sex trafficking up 600%, 250,000 dead Americans from Fentanyl. We got a record number of known suspected terrorists and people on the terrorist watch lists crossing the border,” Homan said. “We got children dying on the border every day. We got women being sexually assaulted by the cartels every day. Someone’s going to die on the border tonight. Women are being raped on the border tonight.” “So what’s cruel about securing that border and saving lives, first of all?

DEMOCRAT PARTY MARXIST PLAYBOOK: SEVER THE PARENT/CHILD BOND

Klar: Parents Appeal To U.S. Supreme Court After Vermont Courts Ruled Schools Can Vaccinate Kids Against Parents’ Wishes

All American children are constitutionally entitled to the protections of informed parental consent. Vermont family whose 6-year-old son was vaccinated with an experimental Covid-19 intervention against the family’s wishes has appealed a Vermont Supreme Court ruling. The Vermont court had ruled that the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act (PREP) prohibits such claims, granting immunity to school and government personnel when they mandate vaccinations. Stunningly, the Vermont Supreme Court did not even pay lip service to the constitutional liberties implicated, ruling against traditional protections of parental rights and informed consent. But the PREP Act is not above the Constitution’s supremacy clause; it’s the other way around. Parents’ rights are being chiseled away rapidly. In Vermont, minor children may obtain transgender hormones and birth control without parental consent, and a 2024 law bars parents from seeing which library books are checked out by their children 12 years and older. Yet these are examples where the child wants something against his parents’ wishes. In Vermont’s Covid-19 vaccination case, the child protested and was forced to be jabbed anyway.

Nava: Trump taps COVID-censored Stanford professor Jay Bhattacharya to lead NIH, says he will work with RFK Jr. to ‘restore’ agency

Bhattacharya, a Stanford University professor and staunch critic of pandemic-era lockdowns, will be tasked with leading the federal government’s medical research efforts and will work “in cooperation” with incoming Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the president-elect said. “Jay is a co-author of the Great Barrington Declaration, an alternative to lockdowns proposed in October 2020,” Trump noted in his announcement, referring to an open letter that called on government officials and public health authorities to rethink extreme measures in response to COVID-19.

Sundance: President Trump Announces Two More Economic Positions – U.S. Trade Ambassador, and Director of National Economic Council

President Trump has announced the nomination of Jamieson Greer to be the United States Trade Representative (USTR). Jamieson Greer was the Chief of Staff to former USTR Robert Lighthizer. In a previous nomination of Howard Lutnick as Commerce Secretary, President Trump noted Lutnick would have responsibility overseeing the office of the USTR. Apparently Lutnick and Greer will be working closely together.   Great news.

[…] In the biography of Bessent furnished by the (popular) Trump transition team, the nominee’s sexuality goes unmentioned. Trump knows about it, of course, but that’s not why he was picked. Quite rightly, he was selected because of his experience, expertise and worldview: . . . .

(The second scalp Democrats want to claim) O’Connor: Pete Hegseth: Victim, Not Perpetrator

There may be good arguments against Pete Hegseth’s confirmation as Secretary of Defense, but his alleged 2017 sexual assault is not one of them. One investigative document released by the Monterey City Attorney’s Office more than suffices, containing the police report, text messages of Jane Doe to and from her husband that night, witness accounts, and video surveillance footage. This evidence is strong. On October 12, 2017, “Jane Doe” visited an emergency room to ask for a sexual assault examination. Oddly, the alleged sexual assault had occurred four days earlier, on the night of October 7-8, 2017. Since Doe had engaged in sex with her husband since then, it would make no sense for the examiner to determine if there had been recent sexual penetration, a major element of a SART exam. The only seeming purpose would have been to trigger a report of rape by the hospital, a mandatory reporter.

PRESIDENT TRUMP: WHAT’S NEXT?

Sundance: Trump Transition Team Signs Modified White House Agreement, Without Govt Technology to Conduct Surveillance

There were many articles written about the delays in signing the agreements.  However, President Trump waited until he has his cabinet fully assembled before signing the first part that permits the landing teams to engage.  The second part with government provided offices and technology is NOT being accepted. President Trump’s Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles, announced the Trump transition team has refused to sign an MOU with the Government Services Administration (GSA), and will not be using cell phones, computers, offices or “any technology” provided by the GSA.  This is a smart move to avoid the Deep State surveillance situation that was faced in the first term. […] The Trump transition team is also not going to use the office space provided by the GSA and will instead have their own offices and security systems in place to coordinate the transition to power.

(April 2024) Chapman: NPR Should Not Be Subsidized by Taxpayers

Uri Berliner, a 25-year-long journalist at National Public Radio (NPR), recently resigned from his job after being suspended because he wrote about the entrenched left-wing/woke mindset at NPR, calling it a “progressive silo.” Berliner’s tell-all confirms what media critics have long known, and reveals why taxpayer funding of the news media is not a good idea. It would not matter whether NPR was liberally biased or conservatively biased. The bottom line is that if politicians (bureaucrats) control the funding of the news, then the news likely will be politicized. […] “In DC, where NPR is headquartered and many of us live, I found 87 registered Democrats working in editorial positions and zero Republicans. None,” Berliner writes. “[P]olitics were blotting out the curiosity and independence that ought to have been driving our work.”

Tobin: A necessary though imperfect deal caps Netanyahu’s finest hour

The ceasefire with Hezbollah won’t ensure the safety of northern Israel. But could anyone else have resisted U.S. heat for so long and achieved as much? There are a good many reasons to worry that the impending ceasefire with Hezbollah terrorists that Israel has chosen to accept is a bad bargain. A lot can go wrong, and there are no assurances that the quiet it promises will last. And yet, the deal that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has agreed to is probably the best Israel can get under the circumstances. Even critics of the decision must acknowledge that the Jewish state has not come away from the negotiations empty-handed but has achieved some real gains.

Daily Mail: US approves HIV-infected organ transplants in bid to cut down deadly waiting lists

Previously, such transplants could be done only as part of research studies. The new rule, which takes effect Wednesday, is expected to shorten the wait for organs for all, regardless of HIV status, by increasing the pool of available organs. ‘This rule removes unnecessary barriers to kidney and liver transplants, expanding the organ donor pool and improving outcomes for transplant recipients with HIV,’ said U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra in a statement. The safety of the practice is supported by research, including a study published last month in the New England Journal of Medicine. […]  All told, 500 transplants of kidneys and livers from HIV-positive donors have been done in the U.S. HIV-positive organs won’t be transplanted into patients who do not have the infection.

INTERNATIONAL

Brodsky: After UAE murder, global Jewry must be vigilant

The murder of Rabbi Zvi Kogan in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), allegedly by three Uzbek nationals, should serve as a warning shot for Jewish communities around the world. Iran has been seeking to settle accounts with Israel after a series of losses in its proxy network and its own air defence system on Iranian soil. A heightened terror campaign against soft targets in the Jewish world is a very real threat. The Tehran regime has attempted multiple operations against Israeli and Jewish targets in the Middle East and beyond. There has been an uptick in such plots, from Europe to South America and from Africa to Asia. It has even sought to kill current and former Israeli officials. But its lack of success in such campaigns against protected individuals in Israel’s defence and security establishment has likely increased the pressure from decision-makers in Tehran for lower-level operatives to aim for softer targets such as Rabbi Kogan, who was a Chabad emissary in the UAE.

Schwarz: Alternative Energy Crowd Gets Desperate After ‘Wind Drought’ Refuses to Lift

Conservatives, by temperament, tend to embrace most things traditional, particularly when those traditions carry the added charm of quaintness. When it comes to our energy needs, however, most conservatives — indeed, most modern people in general — prefer reliability.

TAKE ACTION

The Prickly Pear’s TAKE ACTION focus this year is to help achieve a winning 2024 national and state November 5th election with the removal of the Harris/Obama/Biden leftist executive branch disaster, win one U.S. Senate seat, maintain and win strong majorities in all Arizona state offices on the ballot and to insure that unrestricted abortion is not constitutionally embedded in our laws and culture.
