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.

White House Thanksgiving Day 2025 message by President Trump…
A PROCLAMATION
In 1789, just years after America’s triumph over tyranny in the Revolutionary War, President George Washington established the first National Day of Thanksgiving, declaring “the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favor.” Decades later, in the midst of the bloody Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln implored the Nation to join in unity for “a day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens.” In every generation since, this spirit of reverence, trust, and gratitude has preserved our way of life and made America the strongest, greatest, and most resilient Nation the world has ever known.
From the pilgrims who settled our continent and the patriots who won our independence on the battlefield to the pioneers who tamed the west and the warriors who have preserved our freedom in distant lands, the spirit of gratitude and grit embodied by those who celebrated the first Thanksgiving more than 400 years ago have stood at the very heart of what it means to be an American.

“Meanwhile, the South African Chamber of Commerce in the USA (SACCUSA) announced that the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) expired yesterday, with no definitive time frames from Congress on its renewal or South Africa’s re-inclusion.
“Expiration of AGOA is not just a procedural lapse—it is a shock to the foundation of US–South Africa trade. Our members demand decisive leadership now. A promise of extension is insufficient when jobs, investment and years of trust hang in the balance,” said President Neil Diamond. ”

CIA DIRECTOR CONFIRMS DC SHOOTER WORKED WITH CIA IN AFGHANISTAN BEFORE BIDEN FLEW HIM TO U.S.
The Afghan national accused of shooting two National Guardsmen near the White House previously worked with the CIA, according to Fox News.
CIA Director John Ratcliffe:
“In the wake of the disastrous Biden withdrawal from Afghanistan, the Biden administration justified bringing the alleged shooter to the United States in September 2021 due to his prior work with the U.S. government, including CIA, as a member of a partner force in Kandahar, which ended shortly following the chaotic evacuation…
The individual, and so many others, should have never been allowed to come here.
Our citizens and service members deserve far better than to endure the ongoing fallout from the Biden administration’s catastrophic failures.”
Rahmanullah Lakanwal entered the country through Operation Allies Welcome.
His asylum application was granted earlier this year.
Both National Guardsmen remain in critical condition.

Thank you. Hisssy, for this great information.
Could be jihadism, but more likely PTSD
Oops, he shouted Aloha Snackbar, so that sounds like jihadism
Big Al’s Snack Bar !!!
Or the lefties got to him.
Rather telling that he went all the way to DC. Could be sending the message that he flipped over DJT not allowing any more Afghans in and all the deportations.
Consider :
If he turned a gun on his own country / countryman, for the CIA, then, why in the Name of All HOLY ?
Would we not expect, for him to do the exact same shlt here ???
Great point
AHR, glad somebody other than me has this same thought. My words are mostly censored tho.

The state of Florida is advancing a law to prevent children under 14 from accessing certain social media platforms, following a federal appeals court’s decision on Tuesday.
The court rejected arguments that the law violated First Amendment rights, allowing the state to enforce restrictions on platforms like Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook, and YouTube.

Arrested.
“Chief Executive John Lee led officials in a late-night press conference where Security Secretary Chris Tang revealed firefighters had discovered two unusual circumstances during firefighting operations.
Tang said external wall protective nets, waterproof tarpaulins and plastic sheeting burned “far more violently and spread much faster” than compliant materials would. Additionally, polystyrene boards were found attached to windows in the only unaffected building – materials that easily spread fire when heated.
