The real story of Thanksgiving
"The story of the Pilgrims begins in the early part of the seventeenth century...
The Church of England under King James I was persecuting anyone and everyone who did not recognize its absolute civil and spiritual authority. Those who challenged ecclesiastical authority and those who believed strongly in freedom of worship were hunted down, imprisoned, and sometimes executed for their beliefs.
A group of separatists first fled to Holland and established a community.
After eleven years, about forty of them agreed to make a perilous journey to the New World, where they would certainly face hardships, but could live and worship God according to the dictates of their own consciences.
On August 1, 1620, the Mayflower set sail.
It carried a total of 102 passengers, including forty Pilgrims led by William Bradford.
On the journey, Bradford set up an agreement, a contract, that established just and equal laws for all members of the new community, irrespective of their religious beliefs.
Where did the revolutionary ideas expressed in the Mayflower Compact come from?
From the Bible.
...During the first winter, half the Pilgrims – including Bradford's own wife – died of either starvation, sickness or exposure.
When spring finally came, Indians taught the settlers how to plant corn, fish for cod and skin beavers for coats.
Life improved for the Pilgrims, but they did not yet prosper!
This is important to understand because this is where modern American history lessons often end.
Thanksgiving is actually explained in some textbooks as a holiday for which the Pilgrims gave thanks to the Indians for saving their lives, rather than as a devout expression of gratitude grounded in the tradition of both the Old and New Testaments.
Here is the part that has been omitted:
The original contract the Pilgrims had entered into with their merchant-sponsors in London called for everything they produced to go into a common store, and each member of the community was entitled to one common share.
All of the land they cleared and the houses they built belong to the community as well.
They were going to distribute it equally.
All of the land they cleared and the houses they built belonged to the community as well.
Nobody owned anything.
They just had a share in it.
It was a commune, folks.
It was the forerunner to the communes we saw in the '60s and '70s out in California – and it was complete with organic vegetables, by the way.
Bradford, who had become the new governor of the colony, recognized that this form of collectivism was as costly and destructive to the Pilgrims as that first harsh winter, which had taken so many lives. He decided to take bold action.
Bradford assigned a plot of land to each family to work and manage, thus turning loose the power of the marketplace.
...But while most of the rest of the world has been experimenting with socialism for well over a hundred years – trying to refine it, perfect it, and re-invent it – the Pilgrims decided early on to scrap it permanently.
..."The experience that we had in this common course and condition, tried sundry years...that by taking away property, and bringing community into a common wealth, would make them happy and flourishing – as if they were wiser than God," Bradford wrote.
"For this community [so far as it was] was found to breed much confusion and discontent, and retard much employment that would have been to their benefit and comfort.
For young men that were most able and fit for labor and service did repine that they should spend their time and strength to work for other men's wives and children without any recompense...that was thought injustice."
Why should you work for other people when you can't work for yourself?
What's the point?
Do you hear what he was saying, ladies and gentlemen?
The Pilgrims found that people could not be expected to do their best work without incentive.
So what did Bradford's community try next?
They unharnessed the power of good old free enterprise by invoking the undergirding capitalistic principle of private property.
Every family was assigned its own plot of land to work and permitted to market its own crops and products.
And what was the result?
"This had very good success," wrote Bradford, "for it made all hands industrious, so as much more corn was planted than otherwise would have been."
...So they set up trading posts and exchanged goods with the Indians.
The profits allowed them to pay off their debts to the merchants in London.
And the success and prosperity of the Plymouth settlement attracted more Europeans and began what came to be known as the "Great Puritan Migration."
Now, you probably haven't read this.
...Thanksgiving, in other words, is not thanks to the Indians, and it's not thanks to William Bradford. It's not thanks to the merchants of London.
Thanksgiving is thanks to God, pure and simple.
Go read the first Thanksgiving proclamation from George Washington and you'll get the point.
The word "God" is mentioned in that first Thanksgiving proclamation more times..."

Turkey pardoned by Trump had multiple contacts with Russian officials
Turkey pardoned by Trump had multiple contacts with Russian officials
"WASHINGTON — The turkey pardoned by President Donald Trump has had multiple contacts with Russian officials over the past year, Duffel Blog has learned.
Grav E. Gobbles, a 4-year-old bird from western Minnesota, received a pardon Tuesday during a ceremony in the Rose Garden.
But how Gobbles was able to secure a presidential pardon has come under scrutiny, sources say.
According to sources, Gobbles met privately on multiple occasions with Russian officials over the past year, leading some to allege a pumpkin pie-to-play scheme.
In one instance, for example, Gobbles spoke with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak, though the details of what was discussed are still unknown.
“First, I’m never going to do that,” Kislyak told reporters when asked for details of the meeting.
“But I can tell you, without any reservation, our conversation was totally gravy.”
Gobbles also reportedly met with Trump’s former national security adviser Michael Flynn, according to sources, in a campaign on his own behalf.
At that meeting, Gobbles reportedly schemed with Flynn to kidnap a fellow turkey from his home, before stuffing him into a waiting van headed to The White House.
“You can say it was a recipe for deliciousness,” the source said.
The revelation comes just days after Attorney General Jeff Sessions was grilled on Capitol Hill over his own recollections of meetings with Russian officials during the presidential campaign.
Special counsel Robert Mueller is already aware of the allegations against Gobbles, and sources say he is expected to roast him in the coming days."

LIBERTY REVIEW
LIBERTY REVIEW:
https://libertyreview76.blogspot.com/2017/11/by-tammy-derouin-corkscrew-loop-it.html
Everyone has a different experience.
No two roller coasters are alike because every life is unique. Each
person has their own, custom made ups, downs, twists and turns. The
choices we make certainly play a part in the type of ride we will
experience, but so does the unexpected. You can plan and do your
best to make the best possible decisions, but that doesn't prevent
outside forces from throwing you for the corkscrew loop.......

By Tammy Derouin
Corkscrew Loop
It doesn't take long to realize why
life is compared to a roller coaster. Life is full of incredible
highs and stomach dropping lows. The highs can be fabulous and of
course, you never want them to end. The lows can be depressing and
exhausting and they never seem to end soon enough.
I think it's a pretty common goal to
want to keep life as calm as possible. Life isn't perfect or without
challenges. As you grow and your experience increases, you graduate
to more challenging coaster rides. The next thing you know, you are
belted in and hanging on for dear life. You learn how to handle many
of life's ups and downs. You try to increase the highs but you also
learn to enjoy them while they last. You do your best to avoid what
could bring on the lows and unpleasant times in life but you also
learn ways to minimize the possible damage.
Taxing More Earnings Won’t Fix Social Security’s Finances | Economics21
Taxing More Earnings Won’t Fix Social Security’s Finances | Economics21
"...The purpose of this piece is instead narrowly informational: to explain why increasing (even eliminating) the cap wouldn’t accomplish nearly as much financial improvement as many people believe.
Background: The 12.4% Social Security payroll tax is assessed on worker earnings up to an annual limit currently set at $127,200.
The cap is statutorily indexed to grow (with rare exceptions) with growth in the national Average Wage Index (AWI).
A worker’s eventual benefits are based in large part on his/her career earnings subject to payroll taxation.
The reason the cap exists is rooted in Social Security’s historical design as a contributory insurance program rather than a welfare program.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt and other program founders wanted to ensure that Social Security covered and would have wide support from Americans rich and poor.
As a result, workers at all income levels pay into Social Security, and workers at all income levels earn benefits as they do so.
Past a certain point, higher-income people don’t need extra benefits, so both their contributions and benefits stop.
...In any event, a tax cap increase by itself does very little to fix Social Security’s financing problem.
...It just wouldn’t do much to mitigate the other tough choices required to balance Social Security finances..."

NFL Ticket Prices Tumbling to Less than $15 as Anthem Protests Continue
NFL Ticket Prices Tumbling to Less than $15 as Anthem Protests ContinueIt has gotten increasingly hard for average Americans to afford to take their families out to sporting events, because the costs are so high. But as the NFL continues to lose fans, TV ratings, and moral authority, ticket prices have also crashed to unheard of lows.
Recently National Journal editor Josh Kraushaar pointed out that tickets for this Thursday’s Redskins game fell to an amazing low of $10 a piece on the secondary market at Stub Hub.
Good grief: lower bowl tickets for Thursday night's Redskins game are going for less than 10 dollars on StubHub. #snyder
Clearly, people can’t give NFL tickets away.
However, this is a primetime game on Thanksgiving and those prices are at near give-away levels.
Of course, another problem with the NFL (and other sporting events) is all the costs that go with the ticket price are simply spiraling out of the average American’s price range.
For instance, a website recently looked into the costs of a ticket, a beer or soft drink, a hot dog, and parking for the NFL and found that costs quickly raced past $190 a person at its cheapest.
Worse, costs hit an incredible $350 a person at the nation’s most expensive NFL stadium. Even at its cheapest that could make a visit to the stadium cost a family of four $760 for one outing..."

Fracking Has Cut More CO2 Emissions Than All Renewable Energy Combined
Fracking Has Cut More CO2 Emissions Than All Renewable Energy Combined:
"Hydraulic fracturing has done more to cut U.S. carbon dioxide emissions in the last decade than all renewable energy sources and nuclear power combined, according to data from the Energy Department’s statistical arm.
The shift from coal to natural gas alone cut CO2 emissions more than 2 billion metric tons in the last decade, which is about 72 percent more than emissions reduced through increased “non-fossil generation.”
“Between 2005 and 2016, CO2 emissions declined by a cumulative 3,176 [million metric tons] as a result of these two factors,” the Energy Information Administration notes in a new report on U.S. emissions.
Utilities have been investing more in power plants, and converting many coal-fired plants, to burn natural gas in recent years, spurred by the massive increase in shale gas production..."

Al Franken's astonishing pardon -- from a feminist, no less - Washington Times:
"Kate Harding, a feminist writer who’s penned the book “Nasty Women: Feminism, Resistance and Revolution in Trump’s America,” has said that Sen. Al Franken should do penance for his sexual assault — you know, the one captured in part on camera — but not resign from political office.
Harding’s logic?
He’s a Democrat and his political voice is needed in Washington, D.C., she wrote in an opinion piece for the Washington Post.
This would seem a rather astonishing view for a supposed feminist to take.
But there it is."

What were the things Soviets were told about the world outside the Iron Curtain? - Quora
"Soviet citizens were told the Americans were oppressed by the rich and that we did not live any better than Soviet citizens. President Nixon arranged a cultural exchange whereby ordinary Russians visited the USA and Americans visited Russia.
One Russian lady, a confirmed communist, visited the USA on a cultural exchange and was taken to a modern grocery store/supermarket. This lady chose which direction the car should drive so that she would get an objective sample of American grocery stores. 
She walked into the store, saw abundance she’d never seen in the USSR, and burst out crying.
Some emotional reaction was common when people from communist countries visited American supermarkets for the first time.
Communism always produced shortages of food and provided limited selections; to buy groceries most communists had to stand in lines.
Store shelves were often bare.
When people from communist countries entered our grocery stores, they could tell at a glance that they had been lied to by the communists, that communism did not provide a better life, and that the average American had a better selection of food than any Russian or Soviet citizen. 
The superiority of capitalism was made obvious to these visitors in the most elemental, rapid and non-verbal way.
