Thanksgiving at Plymouth, oil on canvas by Jennie Augusta Brownscombe, 1925
When you stop and think about it, the real meaning of Thanksgiving is more than the 4 F’s — family, food, fun, and football.
Because when you turn the word around, Thanksgiving means giving thanks. And you thank a person, right? Because you don’t thank the air, or so-called fate, or the All-Nothingness.
Don’t know why to thank Creator God? Start by sincerely thanking Him for the air you’re breathing, and for all the food and water He’s created. Thank Him that you’re alive, and that every day is an opportunity to love God and people.
Ask this question at your table: “What do you thank God for?” Not why are you generally thankful, but WHOM do you thank and what specifically do you thank Him for? Because giving thanks to God is what Thanksgiving is all about.
thanksgiving: A public celebration of divine goodness; also, a day set apart for religious services, specially to acknowledge the goodness of God, either in any remarkable deliverance from calamities or danger, or in the ordinary dispensation of his bounties. The practice of appointing an annual thanksgiving originated in New England. Noah Webster in his 1828 American Dictionary of the English Language
…because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. The Bible, Romans 1:21

When public officials don’t love and are therefore not public servants, but instead are self-centered and corrupt, “public infrastructure” that used to work well begins breaking down.
And that’s exactly what has happened to California’s statewide electricity grid. It started with Democrat politicians prostituting themselves to the environmental-wacko groups that worship trees and weeds.
Yet there’s been no independent (from a conservative state) aggressive audit of PG&E to identify its waste. And Californians are hurting with Democrats in charge (who won’t permit deregulation and the resulting competition to provide a cheap, stable supply of energy).
So just say no to PG&E’s money grab, especially in light of Newsom & Co. refusing to aggressively manage trees and brush. The Newsom-appointed California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) is scheduled to vote Nov. 16 on both the PG&E rate hike and a proposed statewide rate hike on renters, small farmers, and schools with solar panels (all those with multi-meter properties). Learn more about this solar steal, which is outright theft because California doesn’t even have enough transmission lines for “excess” solar energy.
1. Call and email the CPUC (California Public Utilities Commission). 866-849-8390 public.advisor@cpuc.ca.gov.
Say, “Oppose all rate hikes and solar steals — stop making us poorer!”
2. Call and email presidential wanna-be Gavin Newsom’s office M-F 9-5 at 916-445-2841 and anytime at https://www.gov.ca.gov/contact. Newsom appointed these CPUC commissioners and has huge influence. Urge Newsom: “Tell the CPUC to Oppose all rate hikes and solar steals. These are your appointees and this is on your watch.”
3. You can attend and speak at the next CPUC meeting Nov. 16 in Imperial County at 11am at the County Office of Education, Building E, 1398 Sperber Road in El Centro. Wouldn’t it be great to have peaceful protestors with signs outside as early as 9:30am?
If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you do well. The Bible, James 2:8

What I’ve learned about Mike Johnson, the new Speaker of the House of Representatives of the United States of America, in the last 48 hours has thrilled me. And I want you to also be glad and hopeful for what Mike Johnson’s Christian leadership means for America.
Mike Johnson is likely to be the best speaker in your and my lifetime.
He’s not Kevin McCarthy’s “boy.” No, Johnson was the “stealth candidate” who almost wasn’t elected. Remember, the top three RINOs of “Team McCarthy” — Kevin McCarthy himself, McCarthy’s majority leader Steve Scalise, and McCarthy’s majority whip Tom Emmer — all crashed and burned due to conservative opposition.
After conservatives rejected Scalise, liberal Republicans, with McCarthy leading, killed the speaker candidacy of conservative constitutional champion Jim Jordan. Then, after Tom Emmer, the most liberal of the Republican nominees, was berated by conservatives upset with Emmer’s anti-family and unconstitutional votes and agendas (this went on for four straight hours, and eventually Emmer ended his candidacy), Republicans were left with the second-place voter-getter in that last round, which was Mike Johnson.
And that same evening, despite McCarthy still trying to sabotage Johnson’s ascendance to the speakership, in a spectacular moment, all the Republicans plotting to return McCarthy as speaker folded. By persevering, the conservatives had beaten the RINOs!
So, Mike Johnson is not part of the Swamp and is not a RINO. In this high-stakes “negotiation” between warring sides, Johnson only got elected because the RINOs eventually gave up due to strong opposition from moral conservatives and because McCarthy’s bad character was exposed.
Republican Speaker of the House Mike Johnson is refreshingly different from the RINO speakers you’ve had to live under the last two decades!
On Johnson’s own website, he describes how he “spent nearly 20 years successfully litigating high profile constitutional law cases in district and appellate courts nationwide and is widely recognized as a leading defender of the right to life, religious liberty, free speech, the Second Amendment and free market principles.”
So there you have it:Mike Johnson is a family-values champion for our First Amendment rights. Add to this the fact that Johnson is a strong Christian believer who fears God, and you’ve got the most trustworthy kind of man in the world.
What’s more, he’s very concerned about election fraud. In 2020 in the House of Representatives, Johnson organized an amicus brief signed by 126 House Republicans, challenging the election results in four swing states purportedly won by Joe Biden.
Do you see how the Tyrannical, Immoral Left is viciously attacking him? Because of his conservative Christian values, Mike Johnson is good for you and is anathema to them.
PLEASE TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION
Mike Johnson needs spiritual protection from the enemy’s attacks. Please pray in Name of Jesus Christ asking God to send angels to protect Mike Johnson, his staff, and his family.
And urge Johnson to investigate election fraud, something McCarthy was loathe to do. A Republican subcommittee to investigate election fraud must be a top priority. Exposing election fraud as real will motivate more Republican state legislatures to write and pass bills to reform the election process, including eliminating widescale mail-in ballots.
Please call Mike Johnson’s Washington, DC office at 202-225-2777 to leave this message: “I’m calling to say I’m glad Mike Johnson is speaker, I’m praying for him, and I urge him to create an election fraud subcommittee to publicly expose this huge problem.”
