From the Thanksgiving edition. If they do a follow up story on pregnant men we'll let you know. As far as I know it's just pregnant women, but what do we know...we're just Republicans!

Thanksgiving is a time for families and friends to gather together and express gratitude for all that we have been given, the freedoms we enjoy, and the loved ones who enrich our lives. We recognize that all of these blessings, and life itself, come not from the hand of man but from Almighty God.

Today, as we look back on the beginnings of our democracy, Americans recall that we live in a land of many blessings where every person has the right to live, work, and worship in freedom. Our Nation is especially thankful for the brave men and women of our Armed Forces who protect these rights while setting aside their own comfort and safety. Their courage keeps us free, their sacrifice makes us grateful, and their character makes us proud. Especially during the holidays, our whole country keeps them and their families in our thoughts and prayers.

Americans are also mindful of the need to share our gifts with others, and our Nation is moved to compassionate action. We pay tribute to all caring citizens who reach out a helping hand and serve a cause larger than themselves.

On this day, let us all give thanks to God who blessed our Nation's first days and who blesses us today. May He continue to guide and watch over our families and our country always.

George W. Bush

43rd President of the United States

Caring for America! That’s exactly what the UMRWC did on Sunday, November 12, to honor Veterans Day. Six patriots from two women’s clubs went to Arlington National Cemetery to show veterans, active duty members and their families how much we appreciate their sacrifice and service, past and present. It was a huge success!

Amy D’Elia (UMRWC Chair of Caring for America), Martha Hale (Co-Chair) and Brigitta Mullican represented the UMRWC, while Kathy Raines, Susan Baker and Cindy Cheng were there for CCWRC. We prepared and handed out 75 thank-you bags, which included two poems—“Flanders Field” and “A Soldier Died Today”—a poppy and American flag pins.

Predictions on Divisiveness are Coming True

Xi Van Feet spoke to a packed house at the 2023 MCGOP Lunar New Year celebration and received a standing ovation from the 200 people attending because of her message of caution and hope.

Her book, “Mao’s America: A Survivor’s Warning,” has just hit the shelves to rave reviews. The book is about the parallels of the two cultural revolutions in China and in America. It will help people to understand that Woke is not only Marxism but also Maoism and that history is repeating itself!

If you've bought her book and find a similarity between the Cultural Revolution in Communist China and the WOKE Revolution in the United States, tell us your thoughts at [email protected]
