1. UFOs: They continue to astound observers, show up on videos, illustrate their presence electronically and betray science as we think we know science. I'm grateful for their continued presence, because even as AARO, NASA and God knows what other government agencies persist in screwing up the people's right to know in the interest of "national security," UFOs apparently have no intention of going away to give government operatives an opportunity to declare "case closed" once and for all, even if you call 'em UAPs. Of course, it would also be nice to know what strange things in the sky do when they become strange things on the ground, and if government officials won't concede that incidents such as the UFO abduction alleged of two fishermen in Pascagoula, MS in 1973 may well be related to the subject at hand in general, they are either lying or simply too inundated with evidence of something terrible or immense to comment.
2. I'm so appreciative that the Biden administration and FCC desired to allow the administrative state immense powers (that's total control) over the Internet -- but I'm grateful only because Congress and some members of the inquisitive public have noticed, almost assuring this nonsense will be overturned by others who understand the dangers here.
3. Colleges and universities in antisemitic turmoil: At last, Americans are seeing the cost of letting radical professors fill their kids' heads with poison politics instead of critical thinking abilities. In these institutions one will also find reasons why a certain element is absolutely rabid about taking down statues and other reminders of American history (once erased, a "new" history can be implemented). U.S. higher education establishments have provided a great home for the ghost of Karl Marx for decades, and the dirt is now out in the open with every new "protest" in support of Hamas and the 90 percent-PLUS of so-called Palestinians who chose Hamas to lead them in a quest to destroy Israel forever. Be not confused: Israel first, then the West is on religious terrorist menus.
4. Thanks for Washington, DC journalists who overwhelmingly support the Democrat Party: I always have hope that the rest of the country will figure out exactly who these people are. The fourth estate, especially with assistance of the Internet's social network, has never been more unhinged. We pray that the country will progress from WOKE to awake and realize the nature of printed and electronic lies being whispered romantically into public ears.
5. I appreciate Tik Tok this year for exposing itself as a prime indicator of a major reason children can't think rationally, as kids are hypnotized and conquered by Chinese misinformation. How interesting, yet terrifying that China uses Tik Tok in its country to educate young people, whilst the U.S. version makes champions out of those who fart the most times in a minute. Tik Tok is the ultimate entertaining stupidity manufacturer, and we suspect there are ignorant parents who consider its charms equivalent to home-schooling.
6. Thank you, leftists, for open borders and sanctuary cities. Now, Americans are doomed to experience the wrath of millions of illegal aliens who have nothing to offer America except crime and hands held out for welfare on demand. Nevertheless, the dilemma is now near the top of the must-do heap for both political parties and can no longer be ignored. We just wonder how many hold-ups and rapes of public officials and their families will occur before definitive action is accomplished?
7. Thanks, God, for barbed wire. Though I never want to see it used to contain animals anymore, its shine and elegance really come through for Texas, as they try to stem the flow of border-jumping criminals. That some of these folks might find themselves injured and bloody trying to navigate over the barbs demonstrates the quality of what attempts to enter the USA by the hundreds of thousands. If you join up with Numbers USA (free, see link), that organization will write e-mails of condemnation for you and send them to your senators and congressional representatives.
8. I'm so grateful for solar panels, wind turbines -- and of course EV vehicles that can't easily be charged and which many people simply do not want and will not buy, no matter the government-issued bribes. As we continue to scar the land and waters with wildlife-killing and environmentally toxic monstrosities supported in large amount by government payoffs, what's the benefit beyond riches for China and other financial interests chained to big money?
9. I'm thankful for digital chip plants being built in the USA and continuing knowledge about them -- and I continue to wonder how these will survive even one EMP blast from either the sun, or from a nuke explosion high overhead. Talk about fried and 100 percent useless. . .
10. What a super idea, another attempt per the Biden bunch to create a two-state solution for Israel and the Palestinians -- as Hamas and many Palestinians want to destroy Israel and its people in total. A two-state solution is impossible when one side is dedicated only to subtracting the other via war and decimation.
11. I appreciate the spike in shoplifting this year. it's so bold and intense now that even the Democrats whose actions have allowed this to become commonplace in their nearly destroyed and business-abandoned cities have taken notice, albeit reluctantly. As this phenomenon (?) further strangles the services afforded decent people, at least for a while let's do the right thing -- which is to fund law enforcement and allow shoplifters to be shot on sight, an approach which certainly became standard for looters following natural disasters. It won't take many such instances, but it's really amazing what the sight of a few dead criminals littering the streets or floors can do to a society of lawbreakers who seem to believe that stealing is a Constitutional Amendment.
12. I'm strangely thankful for public knowledge of young people appearing to drop dead shortly after enduring Covid immunizations. There's something very nasty going on here, and the mainstream bastard media are not covering it. As more medical voices come forward, I'll be especially thankful when the errors, hidden studies and sloppiness of major pharmaceutical corporations are exposed. Yes, some tried-and-true immunizations are great, but we've become a society mesmerized by televised drug commercials forcing the idea that we can't live reasonable lives unless "vaccinated" by questionable substances or somehow enhanced by the pill of the week.
13. Athletics: Oh boy. I'm grateful that I see no purpose in athletics becoming a multi-billion dollar industry involving putting a ball in a hole or transporting a ball from one place to another. It's amazing how both young and old put their hearts and souls into this stuff, whilst ignoring all the bad things the political system does behind their backs. Like in ancient societies, you build the stadium and keep the populace focused on the game, the game, the game -- while terrible decisions are made by manipulating politicians and, too often, the corporate greed bunch. Coaches? Those are vehicles in which one rides. Locker rooms and showers? It's all ambiguously gay, really.
14. I'm heartened by the cursed memory of Osama (Usama?) bin Laden, apparently the hero of a new generation of young people raised to be more stupid than the dictionary term, stupid, ever contemplated. If the elementary and high schools were teaching about 9/11 and American heroes instead of how to become transgendered and hate one's country as activists, this outrage wouldn't be happening. I long for a day when the primary Marx names worshiped in this nation are Groucho, Harpo and Zeppo, definitely not Karl.
15. I couldn't feel more blessed to discover that numerous federal agencies have purchased guns and ammunition by the truckload, presumably just in case of a REAL insurrection or something. Why am I pleased? Because at least we know where to go if we need guns or ammo ourselves, and I've little doubt these agencies would willingly hand guns and ammo over to their fellow Americans in our time of need to fight the enemy, which clearly turns out to be. . .the enemy within. . .oh oh.
16. Attempts to combat climate change: My gratitude extends to revealing the morons of science and their new-age cultists who believe we can change climate, and whom sometimes extend their efforts to fudging the so-called science (speaking of the University of East Anglia a few years ago). May more REAL scientists come forward and explain the truth. The UN, the World Economic Forum and others making tons of money off this fraud deserve appropriate punishment, if not additionally the act of simply being ignored. Cult mentality and the difference between environmentalists and enviro-MENTAL-ists must be carefully determined. Meanwhile, the Biden bunch is just so wrong about climate influences. There is NO climate crisis.
17. I'm grateful that the Democrats and their inflationary tactics are in so much trouble that there are even rumors of ditching Biden and running, I think it's spelled, Ms. Hell Obama. What a clown show, if true, and what a tragedy, if this queen among socialists ever took the helm, even temporarily, to save their beloved rotten political party.
18. Finally, I'm thankful for musings among some scientists about just how long humans are doomed to survive as a species, because these who came before our current Homo sapiens lot all disappeared unceremoniously. Going, going, gone? It certainly wasn't because of the SUVs they drove. When our grand and deserved goodbye arrives, I sure wish I could be here to get a front row seat in the cheering section.
