There’s Always Something To Be Thankful For

As we enter this holiday season, we need to remember that holidays are difficult for a lot of people. Whether it be visiting family—some of whom you may not want to be in the same room with—or being stuck alone while others are surrounded by loved ones, it is a difficult time for many. So, if someone you know is going to be alone, consider inviting them to dinner. Or at least call them to check in and chat for a little bit. Even a small gesture can make a difference.

I have a lot to be thankful for this year, and much of that I owe to all of you. It has been a year of incredible changes (Kelli and I were married in January, we closed on this house in May), but we have also had our share of challenges. My podcasting computer was struck by lightning, and many pitched in to help pay for a new one. When I needed more reliable internet, many of you donated so I could get Starlink. It’s impossible for me to fully express how that made Kelli and I feel. Although we may be thousands of miles from many of you, it’s as if we have a network of friends we can rely upon. And this doesn’t even include the private messages many of you send me daily, which are a source of encouragement that few people are able to experience unfortunately.

I especially want to thank those who are paid subscribers (as well as those who subscribe through my website, Patreon, and other sources). With the topics I have written about and discussed on my podcast, I may have reached the point where being hired by an employer would be impossible. One Google search and the purple-haired wildebeests in HR would throw my application in the trash. Or forward it to their friends in ANTIFA. I’m able to do what I do and produce the amount of content that I do because I can concentrate on this full-time. And that’s all because of you.

I lost an advertiser this week because someone shared some of my content with them which they found objectionable. I’m not complaining. I knew that could happen. I’m at the point where I probably won’t consider any other advertisers just to avoid any potential headaches.

But I don’t want this to be all about me. I know some of you out there are struggling. It could be financial, but I would venture to guess many of you also feel defeated because of where society has gone and its effects on you and those around you. Please don’t be a defeatist. As I always say, start with yourself. It’s about you and your loved ones. If you can get your situation in line first, then, if you feel compelled, work on building your community. Very few of us can exist on an island. I know I can’t. Do what needs to be done to expunge those black-pilled thoughts. I was there a couple of years ago. When I was finally able to give up on the fanciful visions of a society I thought could be created and concentrated on myself and those in my immediate vicinity, my thoughts of dread disappeared. It’s cliche to say that we have to play the hand we’re dealt, but folding is not an option. We either thrive or we die. And there’s nothing worse than dying before your body does. I’m sure we all know at least one person who has mentally and/or spiritually died. But if you are one of those people, I beg you to live again. Ignore the cacophony of the world for a little bit to center yourself and concentrate on those things important to you, that make you feel alive. The one thing the enemies in charge want most is for you to be is demoralized and checked out. Do not give them that satisfaction.

Please have a happy Thanksgiving!!
