Hoover Announces Thanksgiving and First Lady Roosevelt Guides People with Department of Home Economics

During the Great Depression, President Hoover announced a national Thanksgiving to be celebrated by everyone. At the Department of Home Economics to be First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt was guiding Americans through the hard times. Someone please hand me a tissue. I'm getting misty eyed. Yeah! 


With all honesty, I had to set my phone down because I thought my head was going to explode with the arrogance of these two. The money masters and Hoover create a problem and the future First Lady guides America through it. Let that reality sink in. If they weren't already dead, I'd beat the dog hell out of them with a Jello mold and roasting pan. 


The article talks about an Aunt Sammy who offered recipes and help to those in need. One crazy thing is 'Mock Duck'. It's made with beef wrapped around Chestnut Dressing. Cream of onions, no joke y'all. That's actually a dish. According to the article a turkey then cost $5.50. I know right. So cheap. Except it's not. They compared that $5.50 to today's dollars. $72 dollars in today's money. That had better be one hell of a bird before I pay that. No! We would have Turkey Tacos first for Thanksgiving before I pay over $70 for a bird. 


There are other items recommended like cranberry sauce. Or actually Spicy Cranberry Dressing. To this day we all have a favorite between Cranberry Sauce or Jelly. I don't care for cranberry jelly but I wouldn't think of not having it for Antonia. She loves it. Also, tomato cocktail with a sprig of parsley. I wonder if they had problems with their uncle who wouldn't say no to it. I doubt since there would've been vodka in the drink. Most Americans couldn't afford vodka. There were many dishes served then that still get served like Chestnut Dressing, Pumpkin Pie, Apple Pie and mincemeat whatever to hell that is. I know there's two versions. One with fruit and the other is with meat.

UN Legitimate and Two Illegitimate Speakers

This was a freakshow of a week…. I actually did a whole layout here and accidentally deleted it. OMG. I realize this week was crazy, but holy shit! This is what it did. So here’s a quick recap before I have a completely psychotic break.  Trump entered the UN building with the same level of disaster he entered the world with. The safety feature that will prevent someone carrying a ‘nasty surprise’ from entering the top level of the escalator. That still leaves the elevators. The teleprompter stopped working. That was it, there’s a conspiracy. He did what any brain-dead American would do: whine and bitch. His almost hour-long tirade ended by telling other nations they will go to hell. I guess there will be a family reunion.  Netanyahu went to speak, and it’s a good thing that there were influencers paid to be there; otherwise, why on earth would anybody subject themselves to Netanyahu’s incoherent nonsense after Trump is beyond me. Netenhahu finished last week by threatening Chi...

Who is Ahmed al-Sharaa?

  Ahmed was born in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Wait! What was that???? Born in Saudi Arabia…. How the hell did he get to be president of Syria? A country that he isn’t even a citizen of? That is as insane as Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov announcing he is going to be the president of America. Actually, I would welcome that. Since he is obviously smarter than any American Political puppet. At least we would be able to have our Christian values protected. There wouldn’t be an abortion clinic on every city block. And the sexualization of children would come to a dead stop. Veterans would be better cared for under Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. However, that will never happen, but I think you get how insane that is. I found that you have to be a natural-born citizen of Syria to be president of Syria.  Ahmed al-Sharaa was a member of Al Qaeda. You remember the pack of terrorists who attacked us on 9/11/. My question is, why is Al-Qaeda allowed to exist if they were involved in 9/11? ...

America: How Does She Change?

The last few days, I have seen numerous videos regarding the trafficking of humans getting worse than ever in this cesspool called America. This has got to stop. NOW! No more waiting.  September 5, 1985! The day when Johnny Gosch went missing. Nooren Gosch has done multiple interviews about what her family went through after Johnny Gosch went missing. Mrs. Gosch was told Johnny would come home after he calmed down. They let her know he was ‘a runaway”. Sound familiar? The FBI was of NO help. So, the idea that the FBI 'recovered’ children in Florida is a joke. How did they come in and find these children out of the blue? Seriously! Approximately 73 million children since 2023. Why aren't these numbers updated?  I just find it strange that Trump's attempts to cover up his involvement with Epstein AND Maxwell, BPFs to the super elite, was a disaster, now the FBI find over 60 children in Florida, home of Mar Lago, are instantly found. Then there were children rescued in Louisia...
