Congress Still Can’t Agree On Relief Package
Congress has spent months trying for months to come up with another round of emergency relief amidst the coronavirus pandemic. While both the Republican and Democratic parties have expressed an interest in making sure this happens, they have failed to come up with a plan that everyone can agree on.
A relief package is arguably needed now more than ever, as a study published by the Century Foundation, a nonprofit think tank, found that around 12 million Americans will be left with no income the day after Christmas after two federal jobless aid programs that were set up in March expire.
Between this and a surge in COVID-19 cases that are causing many states to implement new lockdown measures, economists are warning that bleak times may be ahead, according to Fox News.
“There hasn’t been a bigger need for it in a long, long time here,” Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said last week as he appealed to Congress to put through another stimulus package.

James Mattis just declared the phrase 'America First' will be eliminated. — Jack Posobiec 🇺🇸 (@JackPosobiec) November 24, 2020
Mattis noted that he had previously advised toward and hoped for getting rid of “America First.”
Mattis wrote, “In January, when President Joe Biden and his national security team begin to reevaluate U.S. foreign policy, we hope they will quickly revise the national security strategy to eliminate ‘America first’ from its contents, restoring in its place the commitment to cooperative security that has served the United States so well for decades.”

President Trump’s ‘America First’ Foreign Policy Among His Greatest Achievements
“The best strategy for ensuring safety and prosperity is to buttress American military strength with enhanced civilian tools and a restored network of solid alliances—both necessary to achieving defense in depth.,” Mattis added.
“The pandemic should serve as a reminder of what grief ensues when we wait for problems to come to us,” Mattis finished.
RELATED: James Mattis Is Caught Suggesting Potential Military Coup Against Trump
President Dwight Eisenhower warned over a half century ago about a then emerging “military-industrial-complex” that would seek to keep America at war for political and cronyist interests, not necessarily national security.
President Trump has been one of the rare Commanders-in-Chief to try to put America first as opposed to the corporate and political interests that dictate U.S. foreign policy.
James Mattis obviously wants Washington business to continue as usual. Is it any wonder why President Donald Trump was elected in the first place?

Trump Can Take This To The Supreme Court
Trump’s attorney Rudy Giuliani argued to a lower court that widespread voter fraud happened in the state, which was officially won by Joe Biden by more than 80,000 votes. However, the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that “the campaign’s claims have no merit.”
“The activist judicial machinery in Pennsylvania continues to cover up the allegations of massive fraud. We are very thankful to have had the opportunity to present proof and the facts to the PA state legislature. On to SCOTUS!” said Jenna Ellis, Trump’s attorney and campaign adviser.

The appeals court upheld the ruling of U.S. District Judge Matthew Brann, who said that the complaint made by Trump’s campaign “like Frankenstein’s Monster, has been haphazardly stitched together.”

Judges Rule Against Trump
All three of the judges on the appeals court panel were appointed by Republican presidents, according to Fox News.
“Free, fair elections are the lifeblood of our democracy. Charges of unfairness are serious. But calling an election unfair does not make it so. Charges require specific allegations and then proof. We have neither here,” Judge Stephanos Bibas wrote in his ruling.
Though various media outlets have declared Biden to be the winner of the election, Trump has continued to fight through legal challenges in various states. He has claimed that his lawsuits will prove that the election was “rigged” and will expose widespread voter fraud.
Trump Will Keep Fighting
Trump admitted on Thursday that “it’s going to be a very hard thing to concede” because of the “massive fraud” he claims took place in this election.
“As to whether or not we can get this apparatus moving quickly — because time isn’t on our side, everything else is on our side, facts are on our side, this was a massive fraud,” Trump stated. “This was a rigged election…This race is far from over.”

Following the pardon of Flynn, there has been much speculation as to who might be next on the President Trump’s pardon list.
The President has used the pardon power extremely sparingly during his time in office, with 29 pardons to date and 45 acts of clemency in total.
In comparison, President Obama granted 1,927 acts of clemency, and 212 pardons.
President Trump’s numbers are the lowest of any president since President William McKinley took office back in 1897.
Trump's pardon of Michael Flynn is his 29th to date and his 45th overall act of clemency (including 16 commutations). So far Trump has used his clemency power less than any POTUS in 120+ years, but there's still plenty of time left in his term. https://t.co/LpzA6CixMJ pic.twitter.com/iOooRa0HJk — John Gramlich (@johngramlich) November 25, 2020

Representative Tulsi Gabbard said the President should consider pardoning the pair, as they had “at great personal sacrifice exposed the deception and criminality of those in the deep state.”

The war on Thanksgiving has been derided as a conservative conspiracy by the leftist press, yet there are many examples of it taking place.
As Americans bask in the afterglow of righteous Thanksgiving feasts with friends and family, let’s look at the evidence.
Leftists Decry Thanksgiving As Racist
As the festive season approaches, you can be sure that you’ll start to see reasons why Christmas is actually bad, or bigoted, or something, cropping up all over the press.
The “War on Christmas” is a phenomenon that conservatives have noted for the past two decades, at least.
However, liberals will declare that while yes, they want you to say “Happy Holidays” instead of “Merry Christmas,” the season isn’t being erased at all, and you’re just a crazy nutjob!
What you may not have noticed, is that a war on Thanksgiving is taking place as well.
“As we gather for Thanksgiving, you know, some people want to change the name Thanksgiving. They don’t want to use the term Thanksgiving,” President Trump said last year.
“People have different ideas why it shouldn’t be called Thanksgiving, but everybody in this room, I know, loves the name Thanksgiving. And we’re not changing,” he later continued.
Liberal media outlets like Vox want to tell you that this isn’t happening. President Trump has completely “made up” this war, they say.
But take a look at this incredible declaration by YouTube, which is owned by Google – one of the largest companies on the planet:
For Indigenous and Native Americans, the fourth Thursday of November is dedicated to Indigenous history, activism, and resistance. It’s called Unthanksgiving. pic.twitter.com/SS9PGRiUmK — YouTube (@YouTube) November 26, 2020
What does that look like to you?
In fact, in the exact same article they claimed this isn’t happening, Vox argued that “it’s not a bad idea to give thanksgiving a think,” saying that the holiday is “painful for Native Americans,” because of the alleged “genocide” that took place in this country.
You can find countless articles decrying Thanksgiving in this same manner.
The Independent says that Thanksgiving “is considered by some to be a national day of mourning,” while The Atlantic dedicated thousands of words to attacking it as “a celebration of inequality.”
“It’s not clear whether this protest is what Trump was referencing, but if it was, it’s hardly a leftist effort to rename a holiday,” reads the Vox article.
“Rather, it’s an effort to highlight the country’s history from an underrepresented perspective.”
In fact, Thanksgiving is even more directly under attack this year, with Democrat Governors across the country, such as Oregon’s Kate Brown, declaring that people should “rethink” how they celebrate the holiday during the coronavirus pandemic.

The question is, how many of them know what they’re doing? I think it’s entirely possible that most normal liberals are engaging in total double-think.
Like the citizens in 1984, they are brainwashed into holding two different and opposing viewpoints simultaneously.
But the ones at the top, in the mainstream media and the Democratic Party, know exactly what they’re doing.
They’ve been doing this for decades, constantly lying to shift the Overton Window further and further away from normality, where reasonable thoughts become bigoted.
