The Pilgrims and Indigenous People who ate together at Plymouth Rock did not eat turkey. They ate squash and shellfish. This is the time of year when lots of folks will be standing-in-lines for pumpkin-spice Starbucks crap, and there will be squash (not pumpkin) in that too (but I digress).

It was Secretary of State William Seward (not President Lincoln), who actually penned the October 1863 proclamation, and Thanksgiving Day is all about the Union forces’ victory at Gettysburg during the Civil War.

Since the Murder of President John F. Kennedy, Fascism has slowly-but-surely returned to US Politics as has not been seen in this nation since prior to World War Two.

Sadly, Interstate 10, Interstate 40 and Interstate 15 destroyed much of the thriving businesses which flourished when Route 66 was a main highway in California. It is often depressing seeing how much of San Bernardino County (such as Ludlow), which has never recovered.

Thank You for sharing. "Route 66" has been a passion of mine since the 1964 teLIEvision show. I have used old maps, and since 1982 I have taken thousands of photographs (Santa Monica-Needles). I have seen / experienced things which remind me, that but for the Grace-of-God, I would not be here.

Here is a pic of Citadel v. College of Charleston (C of C) when PC (RIP was on the basketball team. C of C still used a black spear-chucking Camerron as its mascot. Only after Blacks were finally allowed in C of C did the mascot change to "Cougars" as those first Blacks graduated in 1970.

Even though I have several close-relatives who graduated from The Citadel, I despise that school. Pat Conry (RIP), was one of the-few who I ever respected. I have all of his books and films based on his books. My USMC Brats accuse me of being as mean as "The Great Santini"....jajajajajajaja

Dick Gregory and I often joked about that one....jajajajajaja

“.....the founding fathers obviously made a mistake in their writing the Declaration of Independence. Thomas Jefferson neglected to label it ‘For Whites Ony’. Without hat label the Declaration of Independence became a dangerous document in the black ghettos of America” ~ Dick Gregory

I have been warning this dumbed-down-nation on-air and social media, that Atwood's book would come-to-fruition since Sarah Palin ran for US Vice-President in 2008. I am from Charleston, SC, and Palin was a member of Wasalia Baptist Church that has direct-ties to a church in Charleston.

I have mutual author friends with Atwood and she knows that I would never take any money because everything that I do, I do free-of-charge. Here is Atwood on a panel with one of my long time college friends who has written about me in some of his books. (Fortunately, he changed my name.)

Apparently, You missed the part where I specifically stated that I was responding to listeners' questions immediately after Herr Trump's victory in November 2016. That all-black radio audience was not likely to be familiar with Atwood, because many (if not most) only "buy-black".
