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. Even colleges and universities around the nation are trying to convince students to stay on campus for the holiday, pushing “friendsgiving” and other ways to celebrate in the dorms to slow the spread.
Newt Gingrich on Mornings with Maria | Fox Business Network | November 18, 2020
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…
