The Thanksgiving tradition comes from an earlier celebration called “Harvest Home”

In 1621, when their labors were rewarded with a bountiful harvest after a year of sickness and scarcity, the Pilgrims gave thanks to God and celebrated His bounty in the Harvest Home tradition with feasting and sport (recreation). To these people of strong Christian faith, this was not merely a revel; it was also a joyous outpouring of gratitude.

Our health, our wealth, and our gladness are all gifts from God. This Thanksgiving, remember to thank Him. Should you be so wretched as to be unable to give thanks, do not compound your misery by cursing Him. Such curses embitter the soul of him who utters them.

Give thanks for the rebukes the Lord brings to us, for without them how would we learn wisdom? Give thanks for the tribulations, for through them we learn our strength.

All glory is God’s. God bless America.

November 4, 2017.  New York City. Times Square filled with zombies Saturday afternoon. They could not speak, yet they moaned and blathered. They could not think, so they embraced communism and Islam. They hate America. They are hungry for the flesh of red-blooded Americans. The very name of their bane — TRUMP/Pence — makes them writhe in agony.

September 19 2017. New York City. We live in a world of threats, real and imagined. Electromagnetic pulses (EMP) from a single nuclear device present an ongoing danger I reported on back in 2011. Refuse Fascism now attempts to create chaos by spreading wild threats of an EMP attack. A real danger not getting enough attention is Iran getting nuclear weapons.

The “United Against Nuclear Iran 2017” Summit attempted to probe that danger at the Roosevelt Hotel as the UN General Assembly convened nearby.

October 9, 2017. New York City. Columbus Day is meant to celebrate the achievements of a great man, Christopher Columbus. It is a day when Americans celebrate the contributions of Italian immigrants. It is a day to mark the first chapter in the story of the United States of America, the greatest country on earth. It is a day that should fill all Americans with pride. For seventy-three years, New Yorkers have marched to celebrate this occasion. This year, malcontents on the Left and the Democratic politicians that kowtow to them tried to ruin this wonderful day.

The last thing you probably want to see right now is another GoFundMe request, but my friend has 2 beautiful twins whose medical bills are becoming prohibitively expensive. Pitch in what you can, if you feel inclined. Here’s her GoFundMe page.

As I sit at my desk with two alternately bleeding/clotting nostrils, mild chest pain and throat discomfort-and twinges of pain in my left shoulder blade-I’ve come to realize that I’m not the best long term planner. Take this as a cautionary tale about the general perils of neglecting your health, or perhaps as a specific indictment of my own stupidity/hubris. Read More »

I’m not the type, and this usually isn’t the place, for personally revelatory observations. Beyond my stances on some controversial political subjects, most of my readers-outside of a small circle of friends-know very little about my interior life. That’s why this post is such a departure from this website’s usual fare. I intend to write about some of my health problems which have hobbled me recently. I hope our audience will indulge me, if only out of morbid curiosity.

Several months ago I noticed a grinding fatigue, which prompted me to seek medical attention. Over the past month this condition has worsened considerably, in addition to being augmented by several other very unpleasant symptoms, which doctors have explored and attempted to diagnose. So far, without any definitive judgment. Although it’s nice to have some diseases ruled out-especially ones from which other relatives have suffered in the past-winnowing the potential pool of illnesses from which I suffer has the corresponding effect of increasing my anxiety. I’m sure my fellow hypochondriacs can appreciate this dilemma. Read More »

Cancer is universally loathed and feared. I’ve lost cousins, grandparents, and friends to this disease, and I’m sure our readers could tell their own terrible stories. That’s why it’s important to help those who are currently fighting this disease. One of them is a local woman whose dreams of becoming a nurse have been postponed by acute myeloid leukemia.

She’s currently hosting a very successful fundraiser intended to defray the costs of an expensive immunotherapy treatment for this disease. You can contribute, if so moved, by visiting her GoFundMe page.
