  9. California needs to get its act together. Always massive fires, no water all year round and now severe winter weather storms. OJ was found not guilty, the tactics of your police force cause more riots and protest then the justice you serve. Problems with migrant control…skid row…. like really California WTF !

  10. That's what people get. Litter, pollution, deforestation; everyday human beings disgustingly rape the Earth, then turn around and expect total clemency from Mother Nature.

    Start treating the Planet with respect, you'll get respect from the Planet.

  11. Im going to thank mother nature for keeping the idiots from the east and west coast from spreading their disease of stupidity to the rest of the country

  14. WARNING: REPENT AND GIVE THANKS TO THE LORD JESUS CHRIST OR ELSE!

    “From heaven God shows how angry he is with all the wicked and evil things that sinful people do to crush the truth…They know about God, but they don’t honor him or even thank him. Their thoughts are useless, and their stupid minds are in the dark. They claim to be wise, but they are fools. They don’t worship the glorious and eternal God. Instead, they worship idols that are made to look like humans who cannot live forever, and like birds, animals, and reptiles.” (Romans 1:18-23 CEV)

    So God let these people go their own way and in the end they will become like the idols they worship. For this is what the Lord Almighty says: “I will rebuke your descendants and splatter your faces with the dung of your festival sacrifices, and I will add you to the dung heap.” (Malachi 2:3 NLT)

    If you don’t want this to happen to you, "…Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." (Acts 2:38) Thank God for His Son who is a gift too wonderful for words! (2Corinthians 9:15)

  19. Greed ….you shits should visit your family throughout the year then if weather permits then travel you are the most ignorant fuckers ever , plus you dicks should give thanks every day …not one fake ass day designated to cram your weak thanks in

  21. My heart goes out to everyone who is affected with this storm and airport problems, the best is stay where you are right now and make different plans for a dinner.

  22. Bloomberg & Gore…Consumers are like children; they want
    what they want even if told it’s bad for their health or business. Businesses are
    in the business of giving consumers what they want even if it’s bad for their health.
    A politician can act like a parent forbidding high salt content fast foods and large
    sugary drinks, risk being called an annoying nanny…will never be elected chief
    parent or President of the United States…and the same goes for global warming
    and climate change warnings…you see, profit is king, so, thou shall have no
    other before thee…

  24. Oh damn…no power??? Guess you know what the world is like without it…what the AOC, Warren, Sanders, and the rest of the Democratic National Socialist Party is after???

  26. Democrats…….It's Trump's fault
    He won't do nothing about climate change….
    The world is going to end in 12 years (AOC)……

  28. We live near highway 5 and the only thing u could hear are people and u could see them walking and us people that live near we’ve been trying to help out.

  38. My prayers for fellow citizens affected by storms on this our Nations day to expresss our thanks for our blessings. Save our Nation IMPEACH #45! It's time to OUSTtheGOP/TP/KKK/NRAin2020

  39. This is why I pack everything I need food water weather related clothing snow chains flashlight batteries and a source of heat in the winter or something to cool down in the summer before I take off for any holiday season.

  40. HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE
    LETS CELEBRATE THIS WHITE TRADITION IN HOW. THE PILGRIMS WHITE EUROPEANS CAME TO THE LAND OF NATIVE AMERICANS AND TOOK THEIR LAND AND MASSACRE MOST OF THEM….WHITE FOLKS HAVE BLOODSHED ON THEIR HANDS ….
    The Vicious Reality Behind the Thanksgiving Myth

    If Americans continue to insist on associating the holiday with Pilgrims and Indians, the least we can do is try to get the story straight.

    Generations of Americans have told themselves a patriotic story of the supposed first Thanksgiving that misrepresents colonization as consensual and bloodless.

    The story goes like this: English Pilgrims cram aboard the Mayflower and brave the stormy Atlantic to seek religious freedom in America. They disembark at Plymouth Rock and enter the howling wilderness equipped with their proto-Constitution, the Mayflower Compact, and the confidence that they are God’s chosen people. Yet sickness and starvation halve their population during the first winter and challenges their faith.

    Meanwhile, the neighboring Indians (rarely identified by tribe), with whom the English desperately wish to trade for food, keep a wary distance. Just when Plymouth seems destined to become another lost colony, miraculously, the Natives make contact through the interpreters Samoset and Squanto (the story sidesteps how these figures learned English, nor does it explain why the Indians suddenly became so friendly). The sachem (or chief), Ousamequin (whom the English know, from his title, as “Massasoit”), even agrees to a treaty of alliance with Plymouth.

    Over the spring and summer, the Indians feed the Pilgrims and teach them how to plant corn; the colony begins to thrive. In the fall, the two parties seal their friendship with the first Thanksgiving. The subsequent 50-year peace allows colonial New England and, by extension, the United States to become a citadel of freedom, democracy, Christianity and plenty.

    As for what happens to the Indians next, this story has nothing to say. The Indians’ legacy is to present America as a gift to white people — or in other words, to concede to colonialism. Like Pocahontas and Sacagawea, the other famous Indians of American history, they help the colonizers and then move offstage.

    The Wampanoags, who are the Indians in this tale, have long contended that the Thanksgiving myth sugarcoats the viciousness of colonial history for Native people. It does. The Pilgrims did not enter an empty wilderness ripe for the taking. Human civilization in the Americas was every bit as ancient and rich as in Europe. That is why Wampanoag country was full of villages, roads, cornfields, monuments, cemeteries and forests cleared of underbrush. Generations of Native people had made it that way with the expectation of passing along their land to their descendants.

    Contrary to the Thanksgiving myth, the Pilgrim-Wampanoag encounter was no first-contact meeting. Rather, it followed a string of bloody episodes since 1524 in which European explorers seized coastal Wampanoags to be sold into overseas slavery or to be trained as interpreters and guides. The Wampanoags reached out to the Pilgrims not only despite this violent history, but also partly because of it.

    In 1616, a European ship conveyed an epidemic disease to the Wampanoags that over the next three years took a staggering toll on their population. Afterward, the Narragansett tribe to the west began raiding the Wampanoags. To answer this threat, Ousamequin wanted the English to serve the Wampanoags both as military allies and as a source of European weaponry. His use of Squanto (or Tisquantum) as a go-between with the Plymouth settlers also stemmed from the Wampanoags’ history of being raided by Europeans. Squanto knew English because he had spent years in captivity in Spain and England before orchestrating an unlikely return home shortly before the Mayflower’s arrival. Such dark themes are hardly the stuff of Americans’ grade school Thanksgiving pageants.

    The Thanksgiving myth also sanitizes the power politics of the Pilgrim-Wampanoag alliance. For years afterward, Ousmequin threatened rivals in and outside the Wampanoag tribe with violence from his English allies. Such intimidation played a far more important role in the Wampanoags’ alliance with Plymouth than the first Thanksgiving.

    And the myth distorts history by highlighting the alliance while ignoring its deterioration. After Ousamequin’s death in 1660, the English and the Wampanoags constantly teetered on the edge of war because of the colonists’ aggressive, underhanded expansion. These tensions culminated in King Philip’s War of 1675-76, in which the English killed thousands of Native people — including Ousamequin’s son, Pumetacom — and enslaved thousands more. Plymouth and Massachusetts celebrated their bloody victory with a day of thanksgiving.

    If Americans continue to insist on associating Thanksgiving with Pilgrims and Indians, the least we can do is try to get the story straight. We should put Wampanoags at its center and acknowledge the remarkable fact of their survival to this very day.

    The challenges are undoubtedly stark. The Native American past and present tend to make white people uncomfortable because they turn patriotic histories and heroes inside out and loosen claims on morality, authority and justice. They threaten to tear down monuments and rename buildings. But confronting the dark history of colonialism in Indian country also promises to shed light, cultivate national humility and, most important, signal to Native people that the country values them.

    As one gracious Aquinnah Wampanoag elder once told me, “We do ourselves no good by hiding from the truth.” I think she was talking about all of us.
