A Thanksgiving conundrum is brewing in one household where a Trump flag hangs proudly. With holiday festivities approaching, the host is left wondering if it’s time to take down the banner in consideration of a Democratic guest—because who wants to ruin turkey day with politics? The husband appears to be the one raising the issue, seeking peace over potential dining room drama. But will the turkey be served alongside a side of political correctness?
Readers of the dilemma seem to be split, but isn’t it a classic case of letting the Trump flag fly, or bending over backwards for the sake of one guest? The narrative is almost sitcom-worthy—do you really cater to a visitor who doesn’t align with your values, especially when your décor states otherwise? After all, the holiday is about gratitude, not grievances. It will be interesting to see if the host ends up caving to the pressures of political etiquette, or if she stands strong, reminding the family that Trump is still their president, and possibly serves up some cold leftovers for the whiners.

In a related discussion of priorities, Sen. John Barrasso stepped into the limelight and articulated quite clearly what should top the Republican agenda in the new Congress. The senator laid it out plainly: it’s time for action rather than posturing. With soaring prices and an open border wreaking havoc, his message resonates with a public tired of government talk without walk. One could almost hear the collective sigh of relief from constituents eager for real solutions rather than the endless parade of political theater.
With the alarming statistics rolling in from the House Committee on Homeland Security, it’s no wonder Barrasso is focused on border security. The Biden administration’s handling of border encounters is a staggering failure, with over 10 million encounters since the start of FY 2021—highlighting just how far removed the current administration’s approach is from normalcy. Belligerent criminals, rampant fentanyl seizures, and a general disrespect for American law take center stage, leaving citizens questioning how much longer this chaos will be tolerated.
Meanwhile, Texas is turning a new page in education by weaving faith back into the school curriculum. With the newly approved Bluebonnet Learning program, students will now be schooled in the likes of Jesus’ teachings, alongside their more traditional courses. Gov. Greg Abbott touts this initiative as a significant step toward restoring a meaningful educational foundation. If anyone thought the Left’s influence on education was a given, this move should send a clear message that Texas is leading the charge against progressive overreach in schools.
With some recent polling data revealing that a significant number of people support Donald Trump’s presidency—31% showing happiness over his recent election victory as of late November—there’s little doubt where the heart of many Americans lies. It’s an encouraging sign for conservatives feeling the tide shift back toward traditional values. Such numbers reaffirm the idea that, regardless of how much the mainstream media tries to downplay it, there remains a large segment of the population ready to rally behind a leader who represents their interests.
