Democrat AGs Sue To Enslave Americans To Foreigners (Illegal Invaders)
If you doubt that the Democratic Party is hostile to the USA, consider this:
Nearly half of all households with noncitizen parents are accessing federal benefits, a category that includes both legal and illegal immigrants. The Trump administration is trying to end these programs, but Democrats are pushing back.
Democratic attorneys general from 21 states and Washington, D.C., have filed a federal lawsuit challenging new USDA guidance that they say unlawfully restricts legal immigrants’ access to SNAP benefits.
That is, the Democrats ruling these states want to overrule the president so as to enslave US taxpayers to foreigners, a high percentage of whom are in the country illegally and exploit loopholes. To put it mildly, this is unacceptable.
USDA data from fiscal year 2022 shows that 1.465 million noncitizens received SNAP benefits, with an additional 2.2 million children living in households with noncitizens also participating in the program. [… Foreign moochers] collected a total of $4.2 billion in benefits.
Given reproduction rates, these numbers will continue to rise. If Democrats regain power, they will reopen the floodgates and the numbers will achieve the Cloward-Piven* objective of using the welfare state to crash the US economy so that communism can be imposed.

Well I'm very happy with Georgia's victory which will put them in the SEC Championship.
Disappointed with Florida State not really even putting up a good game against Florida.
And anytime Miami wins, it sucks.

BREAKING: President Trump Just CLOSED The Airspace Over Venezuela
President Trump just closed the airspace over Venezuela, telling anyone – including criminals – to consider the airspace closed in its entirety.
He put this out on both Truth Social and X:
This feels like something big militarily is about to happen.
It also comes after a reported phone call between Trump and Maduro last week:
REUTERS – U.S. President Donald Trump spoke with Venezuela’s Nicolas Maduro last week and discussed a possible meeting between them in the United States, the New York Times reported on Friday, citing multiple people with knowledge of the matter.
The newspaper added that there were no plans at the moment for such a meeting, which – if it occurred – would be the first-ever encounter between the authoritarian Venezuelan leader and a U.S. president.
The revelation of the phone call comes as Trump continues to use bellicose rhetoric toward Venezuela, while also entertaining the possibility of diplomacy. Trump had previously indicated he would be open to speaking with Maduro, though the Times report indicates that such a conversation has already happened.
The Trump administration has described Maduro as an illegitimate leader, who leads a drug trafficking organization known as Cartel de los Soles, an allegation Caracas denies.

POTUS Lays It On The Line With Honduras / Venezuela / Maduro And South Africa / G20/26
The man is getting tired of the bullshit ... and he knows the American people are behind him.
4 years sounds like a long time but it is just a sliver of time, America has a lot to regain from the destructive regimes of Biden, Obongo and others.

Campbell Soup Company Rebuttal - Chicken Provider Rebuttal
(My take on this is that Martin Bally was a subpar employee who knew his time with the company was coming to an end and went to this meeting stoned* and made comments he will never be able to back up in a court.)
(*The suit also alleged that Bally told Garza that he often went to work “high from consuming marijuana edibles.”)
(Full Disclosure: I worked as a specimen collector for years for a large poultry processing company that also supplied chicken to Campbell’s from time to time and I assure you, the chickens we processed were very real.)
Campbell’s CEO Mick Beekhuizen said in a video posted on the company’s website on Thursday: “Recently, there’s been some misinformation about the chicken we use in our soup. These claims about our chicken are not only false, they’re absolutely ridiculous. Let me clear up any myths. Our chicken is not bioengineered or 3D-printed. We use real chicken always.”
He added: “I know there’s a recording that prompted this misinformation. It included wrong and offensive comments about our food, our consumers and our people. It doesn’t represent Campbell’s views or values or mine. We do not tolerate this conduct.”
Amick Farms, Campbell’s chicken supplier, said in a statement released this week: “We are committed to producing wholesome chicken products in accordance with all food safety and regulatory guidelines set forth by the US Department of Agriculture. The chicken meat we supply to Campbell’s is derived from real, antibiotic-free (NAE) birds grown on family farms with whom we contract. This chicken meat is not genetically modified nor is it created via a 3D printer. Quality, integrity and service are the core values of Amick Farms.”
Thanksgiving - The Day After ...
LOVE me some giblets. As far as I'm concerned, you can't make proper dressing / stuffing without giblets.
NCAAF - Are You Watching Any Games Today?
I will watch the Georgia / Georgia Tech and Texas A&M / Texas games from start to finish. I don't get ESPNU so the Ohio game is out. I will probably check out bits and pieces of the Mississippi and the Utah games.
Trump Cracks Down On All Immigration From Third-World Countries
(This is a great step towards what most of us voted for.)
President Trump went on a fiery late-night tirade in clear response to the recent terrorist attack on the National Guard, announcing a significant crackdown on immigration from all third-world countries, terminating all illegal entries into the country under the Biden administration, and declaring the only way to save America now is through "reverse migration."
Trump's screed comes in the wake of an ambush attack on two members of the Guard in Washington, D.C., and just hours after the President made the heartbreaking announcement to the nation that one of the victims, 20-year-old Sarah Beckstrom, had succumbed to her injuries.
The individual behind the heinous attack was 29-year-old Afghan national Rahmanullah Lakanwal, who initially entered the United States on a temporary visa issued to him in 2021 under Operation Allies Welcome, a program designed to coordinate the resettlement of Afghan nationals in the aftermath of former President Biden's botched withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Trump's comments bear the hallmarks of the incredibly blunt, candid leader we've come to expect. Sarcasm runs throughout, as he begins his message but what follows, however, is a man who perfectly encapsulates the raw emotions we all feel when an entirely preventable tragedy unfolds before our eyes.
Trump argues that the immigration system is overwhelmed, something that has been obvious for decades. He contends that the system reached a breaking point under the previous administration when the country was run by a shadow team wielding an autopen as if a sword to the neck of the American people. And he points out that they, the American people, have put up with this for far too long.
Trump suggests that he would now speak for the people, pointing out that he is not the type to hold back.
While some will get lost in the jabs at Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar (MN-5) (and by some, we mean the media, who will do their best to run a diversion for the DNC by taking the focus off the main message) and her "swaddling hijab," or his portrayal of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz (D) as "retarded," Trump delivers one of the most potent messages he's ever given.
He's not playing around. Trump perfectly conveys talking points that have rightly angered the American people when it comes to the failures of the immigration system and the obvious effort to prioritize people coming into the country over those already here.
It can be argued about how the President might implement such policies, sure. There will no doubt be massive pushback from Democrats and milquetoast Republicans alike.
One can argue what constitutes a "permanent pause" as well. But the reality is, there needs to be some pause. There needs to be a fix. And if Congress isn't going to do something, President Trump is. We must rein in the system before it swallows the country as a whole.
