It won't be Thanksgiving, a two day federal holiday, without the Thanksgiving meal, family (all those new faces and babies) and the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.

In the USA, Thanksgiving is in full swing.
It won't be Thanksgiving, a two day federal holiday, without the Thanksgiving meal, family (all those new faces and babies) and the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
China has become a dangerous place for human beings.
By Alexander Smith and Tim Stellah
The head of the Women’s Tennis Association (click here) cast doubt Wednesday on the veracity of an email attributed to Peng Shuai, the Chinese athlete who hasn’t been seen publicly since a post on her social media account made allegations of sexual assault against a former top official in the Chinese Communist Party.
Association chairman Steve Simon said in a statement that the email, which was sent to his organization and published by a verified Twitter feed of China’s state-owned English-language satellite news channel, only raised his “concerns about her safety and whereabouts.”
“I have a hard time believing that Peng Shuai actually wrote the email we received or believes what is being attributed to her,” Simon said, adding that the world needs “independent and verifiable proof that she is safe.”...
China is sincerely entering a new phase of international presence. It is seeking prestige through technology to the moon rather than allowing free expression of it's people. Prestige is important to communist regimes. They believe they can wage war with iconic images of people to state it is not a hostile country to The West. Poorer countries accept China's communist economic expansion as a way to have cheaper goods. But, what all the iconic people and thrifty economics China provides gives way to a better image and reputation for international understanding while domestically it is still a human rights abuser (click here). China absolutely loves the word "dissident" as if it's regime is going to fall because of them.
China is beginning to close down it's relationships with The West, wants to own Taiwan and end it's relationship with The West to bring economic ruin with it's semi-conductor industry.
Communism is not a philosophy that is kind to people, it enslaves them and takes away the very essence of human nature that fights oppression and self-expression. Zhang Zhen is a clear demostration of the oppression of China and it's desperation in image making. If she is still alive today her spiritual distress needs to end with her release and her wellness addressed.
This is the second time a popular political figure within a communist regime's reach have entered into hunger strikes, the other Alexei Navalny (click here). The hunger strikes are a SYMPTOM and not a demonstration of "will." Their hunger strikes are brought on by extreme oppression as they are used as suffering icons to enforce the regime in power. It is enlightening to many that know these incredible people to realize the power that suffering under the regime proves it's eminent loss of support internationally. That international pressure is an extension of the human struggle felt within these communist regimes.
The United Nations (click here) has urged China to release a citizen journalist jailed for her coverage of the country’s Covid-19 response and who her family say is close to death after a hunger strike.
The UN rights office voiced alarm at reports that 38-year-old Zhang Zhan’s health was deteriorating rapidly and that her life was at serious risk from the hunger strike.
“We call on the Chinese authorities to consider Zhang’s immediate and unconditional release, at the very least, on humanitarian grounds, and to make urgent life-saving medical care available, respecting both her will and her dignity,” UN spokeswoman Marta Hurtado said....
I also find it alarming that two women are the subject of communist oppression at a time in The West when women are flourishing. That translates inside China as a reason to be cautious as women as to how they address "their place" within the country.
China was a hope by Wall Street to become another huge economic engine as is the USA. That is becoming less and less the case and only proves that China was interested in the wealth it could find to make it's regime stronger. China is deteriorating because it no longer has the ability to reach into USA corporate intelligence to carry out faux claims and seeks only to be a military power with it's reach into space as a method of tempering that image.
Joe Machin is going to lose his election. He is begging for money now.
Machin receives his election funding from oil & gas and other GOP sources. He isn't a Democrat, but, in saying so West Virginians believe their federal interests are balanced between the two parties, hence, Machin's boat and his claims of bipartisan influence.
By asking Biden to restore the XL pipeline he is looking for money from the GOP and his petroleum industry buddies. It is all quid pro quo and the Democrats have two years to find someone that can primary Machin and hope the people will back a new candidate that isn't as deceitful as Machin.
Machin can be viewed as a "Snyder Democrat," in one that doesn't care about potable water.
Nearly every corner of the world has opposed this pipeline and it is necessary to end the idea it is possible. Machin's petroleum buddies want him to hit back with the pipeline after COP26 and the emergence of the urgency of seeking the end of greenhouse gas emissions.
Machin is their puppet in quid pro quo.
The Democrats need to run real candidate that reflects hope to the people of West Virginia. Machin is nothing but more of the same corruption that has always existed.
President Biden is releasing oil from the national reserves. Every other president has done the same thing when prices were high. The prices locally have already dropped 24 cents. It is working. The people won't have this issue if they purchase electric vehicles and the sooner the better. Electricity is a stable price that can be counted on to increase job opportunity as well as stable energy costs. There won't be problems with a families budget day to day because of fossil fuel energy profiteers. Enough is enough. The American family needs safe and efficient transportation.
The computer chip/semi-conductor industry is becoming more dependable, even in difficult times caused by the pandemic. There is plant being planned by Samsung outside of Austin, Texas (click here). There isn't a Wall Street company involved with semi-conductors happy about sourcing Taiwan, now that China is being a real jerk about communism imposition. Communication companies that provide for social media are leaving China because of growing regulations and danger to their own people. It is time to make the USA completely self-contained in the needs that really are that of national security. I think Samsung is doing the right thing for their company as well as a more secure USA and it's economic engine.

In the West Virginia coalfields (click here) — on the edge of which my aunt and uncle live, and where I spent holidays and vacations as a kid — the economic mood ranges from depressed to apocalyptic. At one point, more than 100,000 West Virginians worked in the mines that produced well-paying jobs and gave people money to spend. That money spilled over into other sectors: retail, construction, and education, to name a few, and was the backbone of the state’s economy. Now, fewer than 20,000 locals work in these mines, and the jobs that do exist pay far less than they used to, thanks to successful anti-union actions by coal companies. As a result, a region that once boomed along with human consumption of fossil fuels is now littered with shuttered mines, shuttered storefronts, and shuttered dreams....
West Virginians need to realize their needss are best filled by sincere Democrats that want to actually provide real jobs rather than the sparce number of coal jobs. Machin's corruption needs to be displayed and allow for a successful primary to elect a person that sincerely cares about West Virginian people.
Opposition to Keystone XL centered on the devastating environmental consequences (click here) of the project. The pipeline faced more than a decade of sustained protests from environmental activists and organizations; Indigenous communities; religious leaders; and the farmers, ranchers, and business owners along its proposed route. One such protest, a historic act of civil disobedience outside the White House in August 2011, resulted in the arrest of more than 1,200 demonstrators. “This is not a pipeline to America,” said the late civil rights activist Julian Bond, among the many arrested. “It’s a pipeline through America, and it threatens to be a disaster for us if it leaks poisons on the way.” Leading scientists and economists came out in opposition to the project, in addition to unions and world leaders such as the Dalai Lama, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, and former president Jimmy Carter (together, these and other Nobel laureates have written letters against the project). In 2014, more than two million comments urging a rejection of the pipeline were submitted to the U.S. Department of State during a 30-day public comment period.
