We’ve only just passed the vote season. It was even longer for those of us who covered the social trek known as the Iowa caucuses, or” The Hawkeye Cauci,” or” the inaugural parade of pretenders and challengers.” Beyond the more wrinkles and white hairs that my children and the effects of time have caused, I have them.  ,
The result was going to determine whether one part would be truly content or unhappy. But at the end of the day, the final winner or loser would be the state the parties have been sparring around, against George Washington’s exhortations, for the better part of the past 250 years.  ,
This time, the state won, I’m pleased to report.  ,
That’s not to suggest the extraordinary, shining” area on a hills” is no longer in risk. Like metal, the departed never sleeps. So rights warriors, too, must be broad awake.  ,
Following America’s most recent political conflict, there are undoubtedly many blessings to qualify. A bevy, in the vernacular of the Thanksgiving vacation. And it is appropriate to express our gratitude and praise if we want to maintain this nation so gratefully blessed by our Creator.  ,
So I humbly offer a condensed list of the many items we are thankful for in this post-election time.
- Professionalism is back in vogue after four decades of false “border czars”, DEI hires, and a mashed-potatoes-cognition commander-in-chief. We actually avoided a shot, you may suggest.
- We will no longer had to learn Kamala Harris tell us over and over again that she “grew up a middle-class kid”, in a “middle-class home”, with “middle-class origins”. The corny campaign messaging was both uncomfortable and unfounded.  ,
- Just Minnesota will now suffer from the absurdity of the tale that Tampon Tim Walz is a real, man’s, ordinary person. Perhaps Captain Flannel will now have time to properly load the weapon he did n’t bring during combat.
- We’re looking at four years of men pretending to be people in important administrative roles. We’re reasonably comfortable that high-end baggage will remain secure from theft by government employees at airport carousels, even though Congress cannot.
- God willing and the creek do n’t rise, we’ll have very few, if any, pop-ins from Volodymyr Zelensky. I believe the Russian president should stop lecturing Americans about why his military should keep their checks available. Speaking of his martial, enough with the olive-green sweaters and flannels, Volod. You’re never fooling anyone.  ,
- Oprah, Michelle, Beyoncé and Taylor are all going apart today, at least off the battle level, back to their multi-million-dollar lands and free-market gifts. They were so badly beaten by Lee Greenwood, Joe Rogan, Kid Rock and the Hulkster, and I could n’t be any more grateful.  ,
- We recently avoided four years of constant clinging and cringy term veggies. ” Culture is — it is a reflection of our time in our day, right? And vice president Kamala Harris frequently cited the phrase “how we express how we’re feeling about the minute” for reasons that were not immediately known. Crisis averted.  ,
8. Joe, Corn Pop, and Uncle Bosey will eventually get a much-needed relaxation.  ,
9. Due to extended postpartum left, Mayor Pete has been sent shipping.  ,
10. Second Gentleman Doug is absent from our society, as is Second Gentleman Doug. He’s so jealous about that he could just hit anyone.  ,
11. Long live the Trump Shimmy.  ,
12. On Jan. 20, 2025, America will really become unburdened by what has been.  ,
