Friday the 13th is considered an unlucky day in Western superstition. A suggested origin of the superstition. Friday, 13 October 1307, the date Philip IV of France arrested hundreds of the Knights Templar may not have been formulated until the 20th century.

The Democrats held their impeachment inquiry vote on Halloween, and their articles of impeachment vote on Friday the 13th, thereby using POTUS demonic nature to defeat him.

Propaganda

Submitted by ub on

The real value of propaganda cannot be determined by esthetic standards but by results. Propaganda is a means to an end and if that end is attained, the means are good. Whether they satisfy truthful requirements is immaterial.

As a former government manager dealing with multilingual media content and foreign policy propaganda, I know that many who lie then try to use their misinformation to affirm and justify.

This is America's opportunity to hold POTUS accountable to serve and protect the US Constitution. This has escalated by blaming him for the most direct sustained assault on democracy in US history.

POTUS abused his power, obstructed Congress and attacked anyone and everyone but PUTIN. The GOP can pound the table like Khrushchev but this does not change the facts that TRUMP will the 3rd US President in history to be Impeached. https://trumpandimpeachment.com/

This is not just about teenager Greta Thunberg, it is about the expansion of young people’s anger which is erupting all across the world.

Regardless of whether you’re lugging this year’s Christmas tree home from a nearby farm, or your neighborhood non-profit organization’s parking lot, and even if you happen to be taking it out of an annual storage box and re-assembling, it is more fun to introduce a few new ornaments to your tree-trimming ritual with festive furnishings to your decorative balls and beyond.

Let It Be GOP

I have no political affiliation and therefore not a registered Democrat, nor a Republican either for that matter, but remember that when #Obama was elected #POTUS, the #GOP leadership announced their efforts to make him a one-term #President.

Then, when #Trump was elected, the #Republicans began whining about the #Democrats doing the same thing. At least the Democrats were not in bed with Communists in Russia and North Korea nor did they seek foreign interference in USA elections.

Prepare For Freezing Air

Folks living in the Midwest and Eastern US should expect to get a blast of freezing winds over the next few days, as cold Arctic air plunges southward into the northern and central Plains.

Howling air is expected to drop the wind chill factor to a numbing 25 degrees below zero in some parts of the northern Plains.

The cold will then blow eastwardly into Thursday, sending temperatures plummeting by some 30 degrees.

We wish you a Matty Christmas and a happy news year. The Christmas holidays often bring wonderful memories and are a joyous time of the year. God only knows what we need is many feel-good stories this particular year.

After sharing a truly delightful Thanksgiving week with our beautiful family in California, Yirong and I received a VIP visit from our favorite three-year-old boy. This little big man not only reads and writes English, but speaks Chinese, and a little Spanish as well.
