Are we on the outskirts of a depression economy? The Thanksgiving weekend is traditionally when hordes of shoppers descend on retail outlets looking for the right gift at the right price. Stores open early for bargain hunters. Parking lots are overflowing. That did not happen this year.
Joe Biden on Monday called on Congress to avert a rail strike after the largest railroad union rejected a labor deal last week. A nationwide rail strike now looms as a stronger possibility. Union leaders were for the pact. The members not so much. I wonder who got bought off?
On November 23rd a fire broke out in Urumqi’s Jixiang Yuan district in an apartment complex. Because of the Chinese COVID lockdown, it is claimed the doors to the building were locked from the outside; people could not escape.
Fire trucks were not permitted to get close enough to the building and the people locked inside could not escape. The current death toll stands at 44 victims.
This horrible tragedy seems to have lit a firestorm of protest from suppressed anger within the Chinese people.

We The People have always been the foundation of American greatness. Today on Thanksgiving we give thanks for that.
Those who wish to “fundamentally change” our nation (looking at you, Obama) are waging in a full-frontal assault against our constitutional republic. At times the bombardment seems overwhelming, but We The People are stronger. Their demand for control via lockdowns, mandated jabs, coerced speech, etc. is a reaction to fear. The Marxist movement is desperate as they know that control is slipping away.
Bob Livingston reports that the Libertarian Institute brings us this bit of disturbing information: There are now more bureaucratic (non-military) government agents armed with weapons than U.S. Marines.
One of the ideas making the rounds among law-abiding conservative citizens is to engage in the same illegal actions that those who are trying to take over our country are doing. Silently Observing has a brief on that idea.
Nancy Pelosi apparently is auditioning for a late-night comedy gig.
