Happy Thanksgiving, News Viewers! I know the world we live in pretty much sucks right now, but be thankful for you got…yes, that’s part of a song. But, seriously, be thankful for what you got and I know you can think of those things in life that you’re thankful for if you just spend a few moments to reflect.
Mostly, I’m thankful for my family and the closeness we share, even though we all can get on each other’s nerves but, that’s family.
I’m also thankful that I can put food on my family’s table even though it’s more expensive to do so and if it appears that an item is reasonably priced or the same as what you once paid for it, don’t be fooled: SHRINKATION! I just experienced it with fresh, organic basil and some prosciutto for an antipasto/charcuterie board my son will design on Saturday.
But, anyway, today’s blog will consist of the headlines we missed and a Free Chat. Enjoy the holiday and be thankful for what you got. Please feel free to share any headlines you have found, what your thankful for, or just chit and chat.

Okay, there needs to be a Grammy category for this. And this needs to be the winner.

The President doesn't want you standing up and speaking out against him, so he's coming after me to intimidate all of us. But I won't back down — and neither should you.

Pudding Time!:
Trump's speech about the shooting in DC veered into him attacking the Somali community in Minnesota, which of course had nothing to do with the shooting. Gives away his bigoted game.

REPORTER: There are people upset with the president, believing the National Guard members shouldn't have been there PIRRO: I don't even wanna talk about whether they should've been there. We ought to kiss the ground and thank God that the president said it's time to bring in more law enforcement

Keystone Kash Confronted on Trump Approving National Guard Shooting Suspect’s Asylum
REPORTER: Can you clarify the timeline of when the suspect was granted asylum? KASH PATEL: I believe Kristi Noem put that out, and that's a DHS matter and I'll refer it to them

According to CNN, citing multiple law enforcement sources, the suspect applied for asylum in 2024 and was granted it in April under the current Trump administration. The suspect also worked with the CIA in Afghanistan before coming to the U.S., CIA Director John Ratcliffe told Fox News Digital.
On Thursday, Patel avoided answering whether the Trump administration approved Lakanwal’s asylum application and whether officials “missed any signs” during the asylum process or his work with the CIA.
“Well, you miss all the signs when you do absolutely zero vetting. And that’s exactly what happened in this case,” Patel said. “When the prior administration made the decision to allow thousands of people into this country without doing a single piece of background checking or vetting, that’s how you miss every single sign.”
