What’s the real meaning of Thanksgiving?
Turn the word around and it’s GivingThanks.
But to whom do you give thanks (since you thank a person)?
On Thanksgiving Day and hopefully every day, humble, in-reality people will thank Creator God in Jesus’ Name for His creation, sustenance, Word, love, etc. Because, without Him, we’re nothing and have nothing!
A great way to help those at your table give God glory is to ask, “What are you thankful to God for?” This substantive question, when safely and patiently asked, helps others give God the credit where credit is due. (You might need to remind them, “What do you specifically thank God for?” instead of just being glad about something or crediting “fate.”)
See these videos to inspire you and others to praise Creator God in Jesus’ Name: Thankful | Thank You God
Remember, a grateful heart helps everyone. So challenge yourself to be thankful. Take a minute to reignite your soul to thank the Author of Life for air, food, water, and our basic necessities. Focus on the One who made the sun in the sky, the oceans, the animals, every original food and substance, and all we rely on, including the ground we walk on.
Lastly, stop and realize there are two types of people: Those who sincerely thank God, and those who “did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful” (Romans 1:21). And consider how thanking God not only gives God His due, but also calms your mind, since gratitude and worry cannot coexist in the same moment.

Are most Californians — getting dumber or more foolish or more sinful, or all three?
The latest count of California’s vote on the unfair, unjust, racist, corrupt Proposition 50 is 63.9% yes and 36.1% no.
Yet demonstrating the unreliability of “moderates” and too many registered “Republicans,” eight California counties won by Donald Trump just one year ago “flipped” by voting YES on Prop. 50 this year. Why did this happen?
First of all, the evidence is that most California voters (Democrats and independents) believed a barrage of lying ads. They therefore foolishly and illogically justified California’s biased redistricting in response to Texas’ fair redistricting. So they were energized to turn out in greater numbers than in an “average” special election.
Second, the evidence is that Republican turnout was weak, even anemic. It’s estimated that only one-third of California Republicans voted in the Prop. 50 statewide special election. Does this mean most Republicans were confused or cynical (so they didn’t vote), or were they lazy or unloving, or all of the above?
Of California’s 5.8 million registered Republicans, only an estimated 1.8 million had mailed in their ballots by Nov. 3. One year ago, more than 6 million Californians voted for the Republican presidential ticket of Donald Trump and J.D. Vance. Yet this election, only 3.2 million Californians voted NO on the unfair, corrupt Prop. 50 (as of the count on Nov. 6 @ 8:45 p.m).
Compare the unadmirable Republican voter turnout of this month to California’s 2009 statewide special election, which had 5 liberal statewide propositions on the ballot. In May 2009, it was a 28.40% low voter turnout (with conservatives surging to defeat the big-government propositions by an average of 65% voting no). Yet in the just-concluded statewide special election on the unfair, corrupt Prop. 50, the overall turnout was about 36%, with the NO side supplying just over a third of the votes.
It’s a harsh truth that if all the Californians who voted to elect Donald Trump in 2024 (they officially numbered 6,081,697) had “stayed the course” and voted no on Prop. 50 just one year later, Prop. 50, with about 5.3 million YES votes, would have been defeated by a greater number of NO votes.
Where were all the Republicans? It didn’t help that too many falsely believed that:
* President Trump is hurting the economy with his tariffs (he’s not) * Texas getting rid of race-based districts was unfair (it wasn’t) * Democrat Party media ads can be trusted (they can’t) * The unfair, lying Yes on Prop. 50 were true (see how they outspent the No side) * Their votes don’t matter due to election fraud (they forgot they can still win in CA)
What can we conclude from most California Republicans not voting this election, when wiping out Republican congressional districts was on the ballot?
From the Bible and experience, I know that selfishness is natural (newborn babies are 100% selfish) and that sacrificial and faithful love must be learned, and is therefore rare (which is why too many people are unfair and unjust in their hearts).
What’s more, I believe too many people have become “Republican” without knowing what it means. For these “barely Republican” Californians are not grounded, but are weak on history, fairness, and biblical love for neighbor.
Yes, they were likely “triggered” by certain issues into becoming a Republican. Yet their conservative ideals are not their default character, which is therefore not reliable, but “spotty,” so most “sat out” this special election. The math of Republicans not voting shows why Prop. 50 was approved, not defeated.
The rarity of love means biblical Christians and other faith-based conservatives, who believe voting is obedience to God and love for neighbor, are the most dependable voters.
May the failure to seize this special election opportunity serve as a correction to conservatives and Republicans everywhere. For be a good citizen, you must study the issues and vote right in God’s sight and encourage others to do the same. And this is obeying Jesus Christ, Who commanded His disciples to “love your neighbor as yourself.“
Can Prop. 50 and election fraud be stopped?
It’s awful that Prop. 50 passed. Yet realize that, in next year’s congressional elections, Prop. 50 won’t likely flip the U.S. House, because of red states’ mid-census redistricting.
The federal lawsuit alleges Prop. 50 violates the 14th and 15th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution. The most likely chance of 5 or 6 SCOTUS judges agreeing would be the 15th Amendment’s prohibition of limiting or denying voters’ rights based on color or race.
It’s hard to reverse Prop. 50 because SCOTUS reaffirmed in 1997 that, according to Article 1, Section 1, individual states can prescribe regulations governing the Times, Places and Manner of holding elections; however, “Congress may at any time make or alter such Regulations.”
Therefore, if Congress were to approve a quick bill to eliminate Prop. 50, it could; however, such a law might also have to eliminate other states’ mid-census redistricting.
While President Trump probably CAN’T ban “all mail-in ballots,” we at SaveCalifornia.com believe he CAN stop illegal aliens from voting, and not just in California, but in all 50 states.
For it’s likely the U.S. Supreme Court would uphold a “citizens only” voting standard. More
Trump’s full statement on his 11/4/25 Truth Social post: “The Unconstitutional Redistricting Vote in California is a GIANT SCAM in that the entire process, in particular the Voting itself, is RIGGED. All “Mail-In” Ballots, where the Republicans in that State are “Shut Out,” is under very serious legal and criminal review. STAY TUNED!“
In response, the press office of California’s Big Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom tweeted a cartoon of “Baby Trump” crying outside the White House and stating, “Live look at Trump this morning, whining about California.”

“And the second, like it, is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.” Jesus Christ in Mark 12:31
Because Charlie was young and reaching young people, he gave many people hope for the future. For a coward to take him out, like the coward who came within a millisecond of killing Donald Trump last year in Pennsylvania, is not only shocking — it’s unacceptable. Because murdering those who disagree with you is not the mark of a free society.
Fortunately, people’s grief and righteous anger are motivating them to take a renewed stand. Because Charlie Kirk’s freedom to speak against unnatural, unhealthy “sex changes” is the same liberty granted you and me to speak for what’s right in God’s sight, with our cherished First Amendment rights, without fear of arrest, imprisonment, or death.
For the assassination of Charlie Kirk was an unacceptable attack on moral conservatives everywhere — and people with intact consciences know it.
I’m hopeful that the reawakening of moral righteousness caused by the demonic assassination of Charlie Kirk will have staying power. And if more Californians and Americans rouse themselves and their friends to vote for what’s right in God’s sight this year and next year, our nation, currently “on life support,” can revive all the more, too.
