Congress doesn't do things anymore, especially things that could even vaguely be considered as responsible and ethical.

"Miracle on 34th Street" is a classic Thanksgiving movie that's gone the way of the dodo bird [sadly] It has a great ensemble of actors. It's about hope, giving, believing and loving. Things we don't see enough of in films.

As for the state of our nation - no words fit to print!

“Pieces of April” is the best Thanksgiving movie by far. We watch it every year.

The 1988 movie "The Accidental Tourist", starring William Hurt, Geena Davis and Kathleen Turner has a memorable Thanksgiving scene that is both comic and poignant at the same time. The film itself is about loss, recovery and connections, and features an adorable Corgi as well!

So Agent Orange told over 30,000 lies in his first term. I feel that Karolyin Levitt gives us at least that many every day - or am i just shell-shocked?

Doesn't really matter if pistol pete (or whoever) gets the axe. Whoever trump puts in afterward will be at least as bad.

Kash already has a replacement so my guess is he’s first. Hard to choose in this kakistocracy.

Hakeem Jeffries is a lost cause. Has he ever made a Demand while minority leader? Always gives up early on and bows to the republicans. Groan. He's what an old, long gone friend referred to as a feebleton.

Their whole Daddy thing is gross. I'll believe have another drink Pete is gone when I see it.

After a day of football games, my favorite movies are The Holiday and Last Holiday. Then, I'm ready for dessert.

Yes, it is time for the "free readers" to pay up. We love them but we "payreaders" need their $$$ help!

We are lucky to have the most truthful news we can get and we need to keep it coming.

Peter: Sorry, I cannot give you movies - sorry - BUT I can trash kegsbreath with the best of them! POS, PAB, & AH - I know those aren't technical, political terms but they fit! Did we really think a Faux News anchor was an appropriate fit for the Pentagon? HE HAS TO GO - NOW!

As for 1st fired, gotta be (NO) Kash - another supreme idiot.

You mentioned that these misfits last longer in the 2nd term, than the 1st - that's because the 1st time around, he hired some QUALIFIED folks who ran screaming for the door!

Thanks, Peter - is just love this newsletter! It starts my heart every morning like clock-work - don't EVER change!
