This year, we have a very special reason to give thanks to God, for having allowed Donald Trump to overcome all the adversities visited upon him by his enemies, and triumph to be re-elected President of the United States.

I want to keep these images before my readers, to make sure they don't forget that Western North Carolina is still suffering greatly from the flooding caused by Hurricane Helene. FEMA is still not helping, and positively harming those people, by actually confiscating volunteer-supplied goods! The Federal government, in the hands of Deep State Leftists, …
I live in the Puget Sound area of Western Washington, and most of our trees are evergreen (Washington isn’t called the Evergreen State for nothing).
