You’ve heard of the Grinch that stole Christmas? Now we have the Gavin who sztole Thanksgiving. I’m talking about the governor of Mexifornia, Gavin Newsom. Thanks to Herb for nominating him.
He just listed guidelines for Thanksgiving.
The guidelines, announced ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday, define gatherings as “social situations that bring together people from different households at the same time in a single space or place.”
The order requires the host of any private gathering to limit attendance to no more than three households and the duration to no more than two hours. Hosts should ensure guests gather only outdoors and promote physical distancing, frequent hand-washing or sanitizing and the use of masks or face coverings.
In addition, singing, chanting, and shouting are strongly discouraged and should be avoided.
Hey Gavin! Fuck you! Here’s your award.

So last week rapper 50 Cent said he was supporting Trump because under Biden his taxes would go up and he would become 20 Cent.
Queue up the outrage machine.
His ex-girlfriend, liberal Chelsea Handler, tore into him.
Chelsea Handler has bullied ex-boyfriend 50 Cent into renouncing his support for President Trump.
Howza ’bout that? A back man bullied by a white woman. How racist.
Now that she’s succeeded, she has asked him to agree to vote for Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.
More like demanded that he vote for Basement Biden.
[…]
She also asked him if he knew what race he was.
“Hey f–ker! I will pay your taxes in exchange for you coming to your senses. Happily! Black lives matter. That’s you, f–ker! Remember?” she wrote in her post Wednesday evening.
Dimocrats – Bullying black men for over 200 years. Listen up you dumb black folk. We know what’s good for you. Now vote our way and STFU.
Remember, Sniffy said, “If you don’t vote for me you ain’t black.”
Be nice 50 Cent and Chelsea might give you your balls back after the election.

So . . . Trump is losing big numbers of women voters ‘cause he’s a coarse, rude, boastful wiseass. Now, this causes some guys to say the 19th Amendment was a mistake . . . shoulda never given ‘em the vote in the first place.
Ehhh, I donno ‘bout that. But I will say that our educational system has produced at least 2 generations of flakey females. Women’s Studies . . . Gender Studies . . . Feminist Theory . . . Trans-sexual Rights . . . c’mon, man!
Hey, for centuries, millennia even, everybody knew that the hand which rocks the cradle rules the world. Men reign, but women rule. They’re where children learn their first lessons in language, behavior, right and wrong, and crime and punishment while the men are out playing mind and penis-measuring games with each other.
You watch televised sports . . . big dudes, over 6’, 200+ pounders . . . they make a spectacular play or win a particularly tough-fought game, and a reporter sticks a camera/mike in their faces. What’s the first thing they say? “Hi, Mom!”
Post-secondary education today takes females with moderate-to-good basic intelligence and reforms them into militant, bitter, greedy, bitching harridans. And they charge them outrageous fees for the propagandization in those “victim studies” programs which make them socially repulsive, morally bankrupt, and mentally short-changed.
Except for their math and science colleges, most universities should be plowed under, like Scipio did with Carthage. Maybe instead of salting the ground, they could build trade schools from the rubble where people could learn useful skills instead of woke bullshit.
Nothing in any of the major universities in the US today prepares women for success in any real world involving economics, management, health and safety, or just plain common sense.
What they’re being taught is that white men are the source of all evil in the world and white supremacy patriarchy will rob them of any future they might consider and there’s no way they can beat the odds except through anger, bitterness, and revenge.
Along with that, they’re reminded every day in every class that racism is deep and systemic, and they need to support the professional grievance industries such as BLM, NAACP, Al Sharpton, and the Democrat Party.
The groups who make the most noise about white supremacy, such as in women’s studies, African studies, gender-fluid studies, La Raza studies, pattern their manifestos and demands after the very things they decry most about white supremacy.
Liberals are absolutely convinced that the US is a racist country, and much of their political energy is focused on that belief. They look at poor black people and automatically assume that their plight results from repression by whites, regardless of the fact that black teenagers who do well in school are ostracized and pilloried for “acting white” and many begin having babies before they’re old enough to drive, and males abandon relationships so that the women can claim welfare and other government subsidies.
In other words, since disparities between conditions in which black people live DO exist, it MUST be caused by those with the power, the white majority. No other explanation for the disparities is ever investigated. That they exist at all is indisputable proof of white supremacy racism. By definition, people of color cannot be racist. Hundreds of blacks shot and killed in Chicago every year by other blacks is, of course, Whitey’s fault.
We almost never see Asian or Latino faces in commercials, movies, foto ops, whatever, and anyone coming here from another planet and watching our TV would assume that blacks make up at least 50% of the population. Truth is, it’s closer to 13%. When was the last time you watched a commercial with a typical white family? Today they’re mostly black, bi-racial, or gay, and you almost NEVER see an east Asian face in commercials.
The fact that east Asians, south Asians, and even many west Asians outperform whites in education and income is never mentioned, nor is the fact that inner-city black culture causes almost 9 in every 10 black children to be raised by women in single-parent households totally dependent upon government handouts for survival.
The fact that 95% of all black murders are by blacks on other blacks and that 13% of the population causes roughly 50% of the violent crime in the country is deliberately ignored by politicians, scholastics, and talking heads.
Future historians will read in astonishment about the early 21st century where a community organizer with African features was elected President, TWICE, by that white supremacist society and did absolutely nothing toward eliminating that deep-rooted racism that caused all the problems. In fact, he made it worse in every regard.
And they’ll no doubt wonder about a nation of 330 million people so traumatized by a virus with a fatality rate of under .1% and MUCH more political than biological changed its habits in just a few months to restricting peoples travel, prohibiting religious ceremonies, urging them to stay in their homes, rewriting their history, apologizing for things that happened centuries ago, cancelling sporting events, ending public shows of patriotism, wearing masks, and fearing the daily fake news reports created by “scientists” who change their minds as often as most people change their underwear.
The new normal seems awfully similar to what life was like in post-Depression Germany, 1938-9.
The joke this week is the winner of the Hank “Guam is gonna top over” Johnson Award for the dumbest black politician, Dar’shun Kendrick, who tweeted the following:
Did @realDonaldTrump just say 545 kids they can't find their parents for came over through "cartels and coyotes"?! How the hell does a coyote bring a whole human across the border?! Lord—–stop talking. #FinalDebate

Obviously, she didn’t know that “coyotes” were people who smuggle people across the border. If she had, she wouldn’t have made herself the joke of the internet. Some of the replies to this tweet are hilarious.
I’m sorry to say that she is from Georgia and is a state representative in the Georgia House. That part isn’t funny.
Four years later and Crooked Cankles still ain’t over it.
It has been nearly four years since Hillary Clinton’s crushing election loss and she is still whining.
Hillary Clinton told Recode co-founder Kara Swisher during a podcast interview that Donald Trump stole the election from her in 2016.
Oh now he stole the election I thought it was Russia Russia Russia.
Clinton whined about the “vast right-wing conspiracy,” Comey and the Russians when asked why she thought she lost the 2016 election.
Oh noes! Not the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy! I still have my VRWC membership card somewhere. Ah, here it is.

I’m glad that I’m one of those people who helped Trump steal the election.
As far as stealing elections, that’s what Dimocrats do. As Rush Limbaugh said, “If you want to see what Democrats are doing, listen to what they accuse the Republicans of.” Projection seems to be part of the Dimocrat mind.
Hillary also said there is “an air of illegitimacy that surrounds Trump’s presidency.”
The only ‘illegitimacy that surrounds Trump’s presidency” was the fake Russian collusion hoax.
“I think that Trump and a lot of the people around him know that his victory was not on the up and up. They had an extensive campaign to suppress black voters,” Hillary Clinton said. “We now know much more about that than we did. They had third party candidates boosted, particularly by Russian media. And the lies and ridiculous stories made up about me were meant to either keep you at home, or drive you third party if they couldn’t get you to vote for Trump. So there is an air of illegitimacy that surrounds Trump’s presidency, and that just infuriates them. It makes them crazy. And that’s a big piece of it. So they have to keep striking out at me, because–“
“Why you?” Kara Swisher asked.
Yeah, Thunder Rodent Thighs, why you?
“Why? Because I was the candidate that they basically stole an election from. I was the candidate who won nearly three million more votes. So no matter how they cut it, it wasn’t the kind of win that people said, “OK, it wasn’t my candidate, but OK.” This election is still front and center in people’s psyches. And people fight about it every day online, because there is a deep sense of unfairness and just dismissiveness toward his victory, and he knows it. So part of what he’s doing by attacking me is trying to shore up himself. The other thing is they’ve been attacking me on the right for 30 years,” Hillary said.
She won three million more votes. She wuz robbed!
Trump hasn’t been attacking her, he’s been ignoring her. And the reason we members of the VRWC have been attacking her for the past 30 years is because she’s a crook and a rat bastard commie. Yannow, if she would just STFU and go away, we wouldn’t attack her anymore. That doesn’t mean she doesn’t belong in jail for the rest of her life.
Hillary Clinton said it makes her “literally sick to her stomach” to think of four more years of Trump in the White House.
Break out the Maalox Cankles. It’s gonna be a long four years. Maybe you can write another book.
It has to gall her that Amy Coney Barrett is gonna be sworn into the Supreme Court on her bithday.
This tweet sure didn’t age well.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
I post this every year on my birthday. I started this back in 2004 when Flipper was running for prez which is why there are references to him in this post. Today I am 74 years old. Holy crap! I’m a frickin’ geezer! But I’m not as old as Jimbo. His boitday was nine days ago. I knew that Jon Anderson of Yes was born on this date (He’s two years older than I am) but I also found out that Glenn Tipton of Judas Priest was born on this date as well. So, I share a birthday with two rock stars that I admire. October 25 is my birthday. It is also St. Crispin’s Day which is a very important date in English history.
You’ve heard John Fonda Kerry drone on about his “band of brothers”. Do you know where that phrase came from? No, it wasn’t an HBO special. It came from Shakespeare’s Henry V. It was the speech that King Henry gave before the battle of Agincourt, on St. Crispin’s Day, October 25, 1415, where an outnumbered English army (It was 30,000 French against 6,000 Englishmen) kicked the crap out of the French. They were French after all. Some things never change. Anyway in the spirit of my Hamlet and Marc Antony updates here is the St. Crispin’s Day speech.
WESTMORELAND. O that we now had here But one ten thousand of those men in England That do no work to-day!
Holy shit! We are outnumbered! If we only had some of those bloody bastards who are sitting on their asses back in England!
KING. What’s he that wishes so?
My cousin Westmoreland?
Why do you want that cuz?
No, my fair cousin;
If we are mark’d to die, we are enow
To do our country loss;
Nope, cousin dude. If we’re destined to get our butts kicked there are enough of us.
and if to live,
The fewer men, the greater share of honour.
But if we’re gonna win, think of what an upset it would be. They would talk about us for years. It would be like the Jets beating Baltimore in Super Bowl III.
God’s will! I pray thee, wish not one man more.
I don’t want any more men. We’re fighting the French after all.
By Jove, I am not covetous for gold,
Holy crap! I’m not doing this for money.
Nor care I who doth feed upon my cost;
And I don’t care if the dudes with me are doing it for money.
It yearns me not if men my garments wear;
Such outward things dwell not in my desires.
I don’t even care if my men wear my uniforms.
But if it be a sin to covet honour,
I am the most offending soul alive.
But if it’s a sin to want honor and glory than I am the biggest sinner on the planet.
No, faith, my coz, wish not a man from England.
Nope! I don’t want any more men.
God’s peace! I would not lose so great an honour
As one man more methinks would share from me
For the best hope I have. O, do not wish one more!
Nope. If I had just one more man he would take honor away from me. I am the quarterback. Just like Namath I want to shine.
Rather proclaim it, Westmoreland, through my host,
Tell the rest of the army,
That he which hath no stomach to this fight,
Let him depart;
that if there is anyone who is a pussy, get the fuck out of here.
his passport shall be made,
And crowns for convoy put into his purse;
Give him three purple hearts. It will be his ticket home.
We would not die in that man’s company
That fears his fellowship to die with us.
We would not die in the company of a phony bastard such as he that would use scratches to get purple hearts and cut short his tour of duty by 8 months. Get the fuck out of my sight! You are not worthy to die with us.
This day is call’d the feast of Crispian.
He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,
Will stand a tip-toe when this day is nam’d,
When St. Crispin’s Day comes around every one who returns home will look at this day proudly.
And rouse him at the name of Crispian.
He that shall live this day, and see old age,
Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,
And say ‘To-morrow is Saint Crispian.’
Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars,
And say ‘These wounds I had on Crispian’s day.’
The night before St. Crispin’s day he’ll roll up his sleeves and show the scars and tell him he got them on St. Crispin’s Day at Agincourt.
Old men forget; yet all shall be forgot,
But he’ll remember, with advantages,
What feats he did that day.
He may forget other stuff in old age, but not the Battle of Agincourt!
Then shall our names,
Familiar in his mouth as household words-
Harry the King, Bedford and Exeter,
Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester-
All of our names will be remembered.
Be in their flowing cups freshly rememb’red.
While knocking down some brewskis,
This story shall the good man teach his son;
The old veteran will teach his son.
And Crispin Crispian shall ne’er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
And on this day from now until the end of the world,
But we in it shall be remembered-
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
our small but happy force, this band of brothers
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne’er so vile,
Anyone who fights with me will be my brother. He won’t return to England and stab us all in the back by falsely accusing us of war crimes. (OK. I added that last part to make this more relevant to today.)
This day shall gentle his condition;
This day will make him a better person.
Make him a member of the gentry, even if he is a commoner.
If he’s lower class this will make him upper class. (And he won’t even have to marry for it.)
And gentlemen in England now-a-bed
And all those pussies back home in bed,
Shall think themselves accurs’d they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin’s day.
will know that they were wusses because they didn’t have the balls to be with us.
Now lets go kill us some Frogs!
Before the Battle of Agincourt,
25 October 1415
