Thanksgiving Day Thanks

By | November 28, 2024

[November 28, 2024]  There are many ways to give thanks.  Thank you to God, Country, and Family.  And, of course, to our many friends who are scattered around the world who are never forgotten.  My favorite contemporary cartoonist, Michael Ramirez, drew this one for us and thank those who make Thanksgiving Day possible.

Ramirez created this for Veterans Day some years ago, and it remains one of my favorites. This Thanksgiving Day, I’ll use it for today and say THANKS to all those who have made my life and my family’s lives better.

    Michael Ramirez Is my favorite political cartoonist. His artworks are beautiful and I bought a few reprints.

      Plato, your comments are always a hoot to read and to try to figure out sometimes what the heck you mean. But, in this case, I think we can all agree that this is about giving thanks on this one special day. But, for those of us who are wise enough, we know to give thanks daily. 🎯

    By now, we all should know that there’s probably as much myth as fact in accounts of the Pilgrim’s Thanksgiving feast in 1621. It wasn’t even the first Thanksgiving celebration in the New World. Yet whatever the history, generations of Americans have gathered each year with families and friends to give thanks. Enjoy your special day here in the greatest nation on earth, AMERICA. President George Washington declared the first Thanksgiving and we today thank him for being so insightful as a religious man.

    While much of the world moves toward destruction, IMHO due to very weak leadership (as in Joe Biden and Kamala Harris). Weakness allows evil to spread and destroy. This is America’s time to give thanks that we elected overwhelmingly Donald Trump who brings strong leadership and he is already making a difference and not even sworn in yet. 😎

      Nailed the cause of so much turmoil in the world = poor leadership trying to pander to the evil that walks among us.

        … and I do believe this is one of the core themes that Gen. Satterfield pushes and the reason his website was originally crafted. Thanks all and Happy Thanksgiving Day.
