With a few inches of heavy wet snow on the ground tonight, I am also very *grateful for one last backyard bonfire before the dramatic weather change 🔥🌨️

A brisk sunny 34° 🏍️ ride on #Thanksgiving day reminded me of the real meaning of "gratitude",

Definitely NOT wrong 🤔
31 years ago this month, I warned that America was becoming a two-tiered society composed of a few winners and a larger group left behind, whose anger and disillusionment could be easily manipulated.

I took a lot of heat for this speech. Watch and tell me if I was wrong.

Bush is just like “fuck, why didn’t Cheney tell me I could do that?”
The president has illegally declared war to stop fentanyl trafficking from a country that does not traffic that drug, claiming its leader is trafficking drugs himself, the day after pardoning a former leader of a country who is a convicted drug trafficker.
Just to level set

Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.

A blazing bonfire on a crisp fall night is a wonderful thing; I wish there was someone to share it with, but instead I'm going to have
this old song stuck in my head,
or maybe it's in my heart? ❤️‍🔥

One last blaze before the snow falls later on tonight, or so they say

Something about the shooting yesterday doesn't feel right.

It feels too convenient. A vetted Afgan national that was granted asylum, randomly shoots a National Guardsman near the WH for no reason right when the NG was set to leave DC because there was no violence.

Now the NG is not leaving DC.
Trump vows to 'permanently pause' migration from 'third world countries' after National Guard shooting
The president called for "reverse migration" in a lengthy social media post late on Thanksgiving and said that he wanted to deport anyone "non-compatible with Western Civilization."

Your Black Friday reminder that in 75% of U.S. industries, a smaller number of companies now control more of the business than they did twenty years ago. We must stop the monopolization of America. Shop small if you can, please.

#Rockford #Illinois is about 2 hours north of here; I've been there many times for business & pleasure, so it's both easy & hard to read the piece below.
Easy; because I know the situation in that struggling city 🏚️
Hard; because it *could be me 😔
