Democratic governors across the country don’t want you to see your family this Thanksgiving. On this episode, Rob digs into the insanity and hypocrisy that has come to define the left’s response to COVID-19. He also discusses the destruction that “defund the police” has caused both within the Democratic Party and on the streets of Minneapolis. Plus, Rob tells us what the media landscape will look like post-Trump.
Emmanuel Macron is right to be upset — and a bit bewildered. Since the French president took a public stand against Islamic extremism early last month, the Western media has portrayed him as an “Islamophobe.” And for what? In a major speech, Macron announced a plan to end “Islamist separatism,” warning that a minority of France’s roughly 6 million Muslims were forming a “counter-society.”
As satisfying as eating a second (or third) slice of warmed pecan pie with vanilla ice cream (and whipped cream), Thanksgiving movies and specials are like comfort food – especially this year when many of us will not be surrounded by family. Here is a guide to some of my holiday favorites, as well as some new binge-worthy new favorites.
If the turkey isn’t as big this year – or isn’t there at all – let’s be thankful that the underlying economy is strong, and things will improve. Jobs will return. Opportunities will return, and America will succeed.
In an age of uncertainty and forced adaptivity, being alone on Thanksgiving is highly possible. In fact, my brother was exposed to COVID-19 and must quarantine on Thanksgiving. I wouldn’t feel so bad for him if he weren’t the kind of person who burns microwavable popcorn.

Newt: I think that it is going to be hard, from my standpoint, to find a way to either shrink the Democrats aspirations or to convince Republicans to bail out blue states that have been unbelievably willing to throw money away for 40 years…
The likely prospect of divided government in Washington means that major health legislation is unlikely anytime soon. But this does not mean big insurance companies can count on the status quo for long. Three interlocking trends are conspiring to dramatically reduce the role of big insurance companies in the American health care system.
Any serious effort to combat antisemitism must confront the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement (BDS) against Israel. Which is why Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s announcement Thursday that the State Department will formally designate BDS as antisemitic is so crucial. “We will immediately take steps to identify organizations that engage in hateful BDS conduct and withdraw US government support for such groups,” Pompeo said during a trip to Israel.
COVID-19 will doubtlessly shrink Thanksgiving feasts across the country this week. Many families will simply decide it’s not worth potentially putting loved ones in danger for the sake of sharing a meal – tradition or no.
Aside from emotional heartache and an injured sense of nostalgia, this creates a new, practical dilemma which will foil many family cooks. Why spend hours cooking a giant turkey for just a few people?
I don’t know if the House Democratic losses in 2022 will be as big as 1994 or 2010, but I am convinced they will be big enough to make McCarthy the next Speaker of the House.
