NYT publishes what it says is leaked information from the Horowitz report. Sez Mr. Trump never backed up any of his claims of spying on his campaign, claims findings contradict Mr. Trump and his supporters' most inflammatory claims, asserts there was no inappropriate actions on the part of the FBI, further - no political bias,- basically every Deep State talking point is claimed as a "leak" from the report according to the New York times. This even though there haven't been leaks from the IG's report prior to the NYT's self serving claims. Oh and the NYT's sources are "people familiar with the draft of the Inspector General's report." (I'm heartily sick of the NYT's fiction writing team and their false resumes)
The NYT's "piece" is written in a sophmoric style and is designed to get out ahead of the actual report. I assume our doomsayers in the forum will suddenly decide that the NYT has such a record of accuracy, they shouldn't wait for the actual report to be released. Don't read excerpts of the NYT's propaganda until you've enjoyed any holiday feasting you plan to do - it would just ruin it for you and for no reason.
And now, a toast. Let us raise a glass of spiced cranberry juice to ring in a splendid holiday for for all patriots and those fighting for freedom world-wide.
Meanwhile - may the desperate NYT, having hungrily awaited its meal, finally receive its plate of painful justice instead, served both cold and "ripe".
A blessed Thanksgiving to you all!
Red Pill Fun - The Origin of Thanksgiving
Most Americans believe that the Thanksgiving Holiday has it's origins with the Pilgrims at Plymouth. That we celebrate the Pilgrims as they learned to prosper in this new land.
In fact, an entire grievance issue has grown in that belief. You know, white people bad, blah, blah, blah...
Here's the truth:
Thanksgiving, as a National Holiday was given to us by President George Washington, in 1789. Read the Proclamation here: https://www.mountvernon.org/education/primary-sources-2/article/thanksgiving-proclamation-of-1789/
On this Thanksgiving 2019, let us celebrate the return of our Republic to "We The People" and in that light, give special pause to what President Washington proclaimed. WWG1WWA!
By the President of the United States of America, a Proclamation.
Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor-- and whereas both Houses of Congress have by their joint Committee requested me to recommend to the People of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness.
Now therefore I do recommend and assign Thursday the 26th day of November next to be devoted by the People of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being, who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be-- That we may then all unite in rendering unto him our sincere and humble thanks--for his kind care and protection of the People of this Country previous to their becoming a Nation--for the signal and manifold mercies, and the favorable interpositions of his Providence which we experienced in the course and conclusion of the late war--for the great degree of tranquility, union, and plenty, which we have since enjoyed--for the peaceable and rational manner, in which we have been enabled to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national One now lately instituted--for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed; and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge; and in general for all the great and various favors which he hath been pleased to confer upon us.
and also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations and beseech him to pardon our national and other transgressions-- to enable us all, whether in public or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually--to render our national government a blessing to all the people, by constantly being a Government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed--to protect and guide all Sovereigns and Nations (especially such as have shewn kindness unto us) and to bless them with good government, peace, and concord--To promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the encrease of science among them and us--and generally to grant unto all Mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as he alone knows to be best.
Given under my hand at the City of New York the third day of October in the year of our Lord 1789.
Go: Washington

Hear! Hear!

Happy and Blessed Thanksgiving to you and yours.
Happy Thanksgiving, OT but has been bugging me. Hunter Biden says in interview “I was a lawyer”. Did he lose his law licence? did he ever have one? Was he practicing Law out of the USA without proper credentials? Thanks for the forum. Just wanted to throw this out there. It does seem interesting.
Happy Thanksgiving to you, and all my Freeper friends. And to my youngest son, born and raised Canadian now a recent (legal) U.S. Citizen and new resident of Oklahoma!
Blessings to you all.
Cheers,
Jim

THE MIRACLE OF SQUANTO’S PATH TO PLYMOUTH
November 24, 2015
This article was originally published in The Wall Street Journal; to read the article on their website, click here.
***
The story of how the Pilgrims arrived at our shores on the Mayflower—and how a friendly Patuxet native named Squanto showed them how to plant corn, using fish as fertilizer—is well-known. But Squanto’s full story is not, as National Geographic’s new Thanksgiving miniseries, “Saints & Strangers,” shows. That might be because some details of Squanto’s life are in dispute. The important ones are not, however. His story is astonishing, even raising profound questions about God’s role in American history.
Every Thanksgiving we remember that, to escape religious persecution, the Pilgrims sailed to the New World, landing at Plymouth Rock in 1620. But numerous trading ships had visited the area earlier. Around 1608 an English ship dropped anchor off the coast of what is today Plymouth, Mass., ostensibly to trade metal goods for the natives’ beads and pelts. The friendly Patuxets received the crew but soon discovered their dark intentions. A number of the braves were brutally captured, taken to Spain and sold into slavery.
One of them, a young man named Tisquantum, or Squanto, was bought by a group of Catholic friars, who evidently treated him well and freed him, even allowing him to dream of somehow returning to the New World, an almost unimaginable thought at the time. Around 1612, Squanto made his way to London, where he stayed with a man named John Slany and learned his ways and language. In 1618, a ship was found, and in return for serving as an interpreter, Squanto would be given one-way passage back to the New World.
After spending a winter in Newfoundland, the ship made its way down the coast of Maine and Cape Cod, where Squanto at last reached his own shore. After 10 years, Squanto returned to the village where he had been born. But when he arrived, to his unfathomable disappointment, there was no one to greet him. What had happened?
It seems that since he had been away, nearly every member of the Patuxets had perished from disease, perhaps smallpox, brought by European ships. Had Squanto not been kidnapped, he would almost surely have died. But perhaps he didn’t feel lucky to have been spared. Surely, he must have wondered how his extraordinary efforts could amount to this. At first he wandered to another Wampanoag tribe, but they weren’t his people. He was a man without a family or tribe, and eventually lived alone in the woods.
But his story didn’t end there. In the bleak November of 1620, the Mayflower passengers, unable to navigate south to the warmer land of Virginia, decided to settle at Plymouth, the very spot where Squanto had grown up. They had come in search of religious freedom, hoping to found a colony based on Christian principles.
Their journey was very difficult, and their celebrated landing on the frigid shores of Plymouth proved even more so. Forced to sleep in miserably wet and cold conditions, many of them fell gravely ill. Half of them died during that terrible winter. One can imagine how they must have wept and wondered how the God they trusted and followed could lead them to this agonizing pass. They seriously considered returning to Europe.
But one day during that spring of 1621, a Wampanoag walked out of the woods to greet them. Somehow he spoke perfect English. In fact, he had lived in London more recently than they had. And if that weren’t strange enough, he had grown up on the exact land where they had settled.
Because of this, he knew everything about how to survive there; not only how to plant corn and squash, but how to find fish and lobsters and eels and much else. The lone Patuxet survivor had nowhere to go, so the Pilgrims adopted him as one of their own and he lived with them on the land of his childhood.
No one disputes that Squanto’s advent among the Pilgrims changed everything, making it possible for them to stay and thrive. Squanto even helped broker a peace with the local tribes, one that lasted 50 years, a staggering accomplishment considering the troubles settlers would face later.
So the question is: Can all of this have been sheer happenstance, as most versions of the story would have us believe? The Pilgrims hardly thought so. To them, Squanto was a living answer to their tearful prayers, an outrageous miracle of God. Plymouth Colony Governor William Bradford declared in his journal that Squanto “became a special instrument sent of God” who didn’t leave them “till he died.”
Indeed, when Squanto died from a mysterious disease in 1622, Bradford wrote that he wanted “the Governor to pray for him, that he might go to the Englishmen’s God in heaven.” And Squanto bequeathed his possessions to the Pilgrims “as remembrances of his love.”
These are historical facts. May we be forgiven for interpreting them as the answered prayers of a suffering people, and a warm touch at the cold dawn of our history of an Almighty Hand?

And a special shout-out to the courageous individuals taking the streets and speaking against communist tyranny in Hong Kong ... and all the other (hundreds of millions?) of people in China ... YEARNING TO BE FREE.
KNOW THIS: America is not going to mount military attack on the Chinese Communist Party at this time; but, MAGA NATION WILL NEVER FORGET YOU, WILL NEVER STOP PRESSURING THE COMMUNISTS UNTIL THEY ARE SWEPT ASIDE by the forces of FREEDOM, INDIVIDUALITY AND SACRED HONOR.
Thanks be to God for American freedom and patriots, and for our chance through this great President to once again change the course of American and world history.
