HAPPY THANKSGIVING

A day to try to stay away from politics.  So, if you can forgive Charles Schulz for 'cultural appropriation' (a recently discovered ill-conceived idea from those over-educated, self-righteous morons on the left) you can enjoy this 'Peanuts' cartoon wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving. (I think I might have failed to keep politics out of my blog today...oops)

Hey, stupid people in Illinois... Are you aware that this statue of Senator John Logan, Senator from Illinois was a Republican?  Maybe we should tear this statue down? You know, after we get around to tearing down the statues of President Abraham Lincoln.  Or better yet, perhaps we can melt the statues and remold them into the statue of Mayor Marion Barry that the lefties in Washington, DC want to erect?  Perhaps, New Yorkers are already planning to erect (pun intended) a statue of Congressman Anthony Wiener?
