CITIZEN OPEN THREAD.
Excellent video on National Debt from Congressman Schweikert
NOTE FROM KANE
As long as the headlines can be seen, green and red showing up as black for example, that’s fine.
I thought they couldn’t be seen at all for colorblind readers — invisible headlines.
So I’m not worried about it now. Thanks for all the feedback below.
Carry on, CFP Nation.
Mans Best Friend
so thankful for the friends and acquaintances i have met here

From the stack:
Medicare bill is a trap:
As a gerontologist who has helped countless older adults navigate the Medicare maze, I’ve seen how one enrollment decision can shape someone’s quality of life for decades. That’s why the new legislation before Congress, H.R. 3467, should alarm anyone who cares about protecting older Americans’ health and autonomy.
The bill, sponsored by Rep. David Schweikert (R-Ariz.) and introduced in May, would automatically enroll new Medicare beneficiaries into the lowest-premium Medicare Advantage plan available in their ZIP code unless they actively opt out. Even more troubling, it would lock them into that plan for three full years, limiting their ability to switch back to traditional Medicare or select a new plan except under narrowly defined hardship circumstances.
Imagine being 72, recently diagnosed with cancer, and realizing your plan doesn’t cover your preferred specialist — then learning you can’t change it for two more years. That’s not a “benefit”; it’s a bureaucratic trap.

Good Morning CFP Patriots and happy Monday!
Happy Thanksgiving week NJ Cowgirl !
One way of brining your Thanksgiving turkey 😂😂
Interesting. I’m trying to envision a way to remove it and get the liquid out without making a huge mess. I’m not that talented.
This is pretty wild. First time in recorded history.

Good Monday morning to all CFP patriots! Where does the weekend go so quickly?
‘No secret that the president is trying to weaponize’ the DOJ: Sen. Slotkin
ABC News’ Martha Raddatz interviews Sen. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., on “This Week.”
Really? I’m not buyin’ this… Please, Senator Elissa Slotkin, name these JAG Officers…
SLOTKIN: So, I think the reason we put that statement out is because the sheer number of, frankly, young officers who are coming to us and saying, I just am not sure. What do I do? You know, I’m in SouthCom and I’m involved in the National Guard. I’m just not sure what do I do? And I think, look, you don’t have to take my word for it. We’ve had report after report of legal officer, JAG officers coming forward and saying, look, I push back on this. I’m not sure that this is legal.
I despise this woman. In fact iclude all the women ruining Michigan.
The media is always rushing in to give them cover.
Young officers saying they are not sure is exactly the atmosphere they are promoting. It will cause chaos and confusion and people will die. And then these Democrats get on talkshows and pontificate as if they are trying to save America.

Oh geez. Locusts!
At Christmastime, pomanders symbolize:
Protection and health
Closeness and affection (they were often handmade gifts)
Winter abundance
Good fortune for the coming year
and they smell great too!
We used to make those as kids! Smell is divine!
SundayMorningFutures @SundayFutures
Today, exclusively on @SundayFutures with @MariaBartiromo, Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso @SenJohnBarrasso spoke about Democratic lawmakers urging U.S. servicemembers to refuse illegal orders.

RNC Research @RNCResearch
After admitting President Trump hasn’t issued any illegal orders, Elissa Slotkin bizarrely brings up the Nuremberg trials and “A Few Good Men” to try and justify Democrats’ insurrectionist video.

She was all over the map. They just love to muddy the waters.
Good to see you TC
This is a good one TC!
Seen Dees’ post and decided to add this. Have a blessed Sunday Dee and all CFP friends.
Thanks TBird ! ☕️ You too. Busy making beef stew today…there’s a chill in the air. A little beef before
” everything turkey”. 😂
God bless and pass the biscuits and ammunition!
🎼and we’ll all be free….
Mrs. bird made chili it’s the right time of year 🙂
Yes!
Shout out to Thought Criminal. Hope you’re doing ok !
Ditto! All good thoughts to TC!
Thanks deb!
Doing fine!
Trying to complete a remodeling project before Thanksgiving guest fill the house…
Good luck, TC. It is bound to be an awesome project. And to complete before guests arrive is fantastic!!!!
do mine next! the bathroom is ready for the tub – should be on its way next week.
then on to the kitchen!!
Last bit is a floor to ceiling book shelf, dark stained ash.
I use polycrylic to seal because it’s water based and drys enough to sand in about 10min. I thin coat and 400 grit sand until it fills the knot holes and cracks.
I’ll post pics when it’s done
Hate, hate, hate from Indonesia.
“The leadership of NU, which is also the world’s biggest Islamic organisation with around 100 million members and affiliates, has given Chairman Yahya Cholil Staquf three days to offer his resignation or be removed from his post, according to the minutes from a meeting on Thursday.”

Fantastic Mama. And may I say what a good horse. Truck traffic, horns and a waving flag and just a 2 ft barrier. I had one like that. I am blessed
NJC – is this something you can ‘teach’ a horse or they either have the ability or they don’t?
You can teach them a lot, but like people they have different temperaments. Some are just more chill (sensible) or more bold and brave, or more timid and fearful. You never know.
❤️
Nice story MP, have a blessed day.
blessings to you Tbird !!
Questions, questions.

Totally correct. These two needed to “CHILL”…
[She pushed too hard and he knows that she means well]
Now, MTG needs to walk back her resignation…
DJT needs to forget about any primary challengers and “Go Silent” with the Press. He can do it. He knows how…
What is it with Republicans self-destructive infighting? Ridiculous! Stop it!
Thomas Massie, Rand Paul, Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins – and a few others, also need to figure out a better way forward. Their “schitck” might play at home with their constituents, but nationally, they’re losers (in terms of an agenda) for the party. On the key votes we need them. As Republicans we need them as part of our majority. We all need to work together better…
[RANT OFF…’-]
As CFP has been saying all week, everyone involved needs to simmer down (now).
Trump softens his tone — ‘I would love to see Marjorie return to politics, after a break.’
Trump reverses in late day interview with NBC.
Early this morning, Trump showed some anger.
This isn’t helping the situation, Loomer.
Good Sunday morning everyone ☕️☕️☕️☕️
Morning, Dee.

Pope Leo shrugs at the massacre of Christians in Nigeria.
He can’t admit he is the leader of a tribe which he must protect.
As a liberal, he sees only “universal” things — the “planet”, “humanity,” etc.
https://www.frontpagemag.com/pope-leo-covers-up-muslim-genocide-of-christians-in-nigeria/
Current Pope IMO is useless. He is a liberal / socialist and globalist. He is enjoying the wealth and fame of being Pope instead of tending to his flock.
Rather like the last one.

Tariff revenue is about $140 billion so far, certainly not trillions.
It was combined tariffs and investments due to tariffs that would reach trillions. Not to mention money not spent on wars and aid needed due to endless wars.
