We Celebrate it with Parades and family gatherings on the fourth Thursday of November to give thanks for our blessings with family and friends. Thanksgiving traces back to a 1621 harvest feast shared by the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag people, a feast of thanks for their mutual support.
Not explaining can save us from over-justifying ourselves by seeking constant validation from others. It builds a certain self-reliance and confidence. We act based on our own judgment rather than needing everyone to understand or approve.
Not complaining helps us avoid becoming mired in negativity or a victim mentality. It can motivate us toward action and problem-solving rather than dwelling on grievances. It also makes us more pleasant to be around.
The willingness to contribute to or sacrifice for our country in some way
A genuine concern for our nation's well-being and future
Pride in the nation's values, culture, or achievements
Active engagement in civic life or community service
DONT GIVE UP THE SHIP!
The Associated Press and Reuters news and information services are subscription-based and used by other media sources (TV news, newspapers, blogs, etc). AP and Reuters are responsible for reporting facts and writing up basic stories, which they send to those other media sources, who can either publish as-is or use them as a reliable source for their own stories. It means those other media sources don't need to send their own reporters, but can still get the story. Will these polls lead to the Republican Party dumping GOP President Donald Trump?
A dear old friend and the coolest senior citizen I know likes to ask me “How you Bean” ? For the record, beans are an excellent source of protein, fiber, and other nutrients, providing approximately 7 grams of protein per half-cup serving. Soybeans are the most protein-rich bean and are a complete protein, containing all nine essential amino acids. Other high-protein options include lentils, large white beans, and pinto beans.
As Americans continue to weigh major life decisions amid rising living costs and economic uncertainty, having location-specific benchmarks can help individuals and families make more informed, sustainable choices. It’s also a useful tool for employers, policymakers, and planners aiming to align wages and resources with the realities of daily life nationwide.
Most of our national leaders were lost, but their GPS indicates that decency and a good conscience are just around the corner. Trump lost control of the Republican Party. Our representatives voted almost unanimously. The House vote was 427 to 1. US Senators approved it without a fight, after Trump had spent months fighting the process. When it became clear he would lose, he told the GOP to vote yes and not lose face insisting he has nothing to hide?

US Senators have unanimously agreed to pass the House-backed bill forcing the Justice Department to release the Jeffrey Epstein case files as soon as it’s received from the chamber. Majority leader John Thune said that would happen tomorrow. Senators will not have to take any further action, and the bill will be sent to President Donald Trump, who has said he’d sign the legislation, a stark reversal in his position.
Trump’s approval rating has dropped to 38 percent, the lowest of his term, driven by anger over high living costs and his shifting stance on releasing the Epstein files.

This visual timeline attempts to plot all of the world’s empires throughout history, based on geographic area and size.
The rise and fall of familiar civilizations, like the Romans, Mongols, or Ottomans can be seen, as well as modern powerhouses like the U.S. or China.
Attempting to plot this all on one timeline is bold, but also comes with its many challenges and some omissions.
