The court’s action Wednesday could push New York to reevaluate its restrictions on houses of worship in areas designated virus hot spots.

A North Carolina money manager is suing a pro-Trump group for $2.5 million after the group failed to show evidence of voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election or provide him with updates on their efforts.

Fred Eshelman donated the money to True the Vote Inc., a Houston-based organization, which had promised to "investigate, litigate, and expose suspected illegal balloting and fraud in the 2020 general election," according to Bloomberg....

Governments have made great efforts to put the well-being of their people first, acting decisively to protect health and to save lives ...Yet some groups protested, refusing to keep their distance, marching against travel restrictions — as if measures that governments must impose for the good of their people constitute some kind of political assault on autonomy or personal freedom! Looking to the common good is much more than the sum of what is good for individuals.

It is all too easy for some to take an idea — in this case, for example, personal freedom — and turn it into an ideology, creating a prism through which they judge everything. ---Pope Francis

I find it depressing when a pope thinks, and acts better than many evangelical Christians

"A lot of our leaders in this country ought to be ashamed of themselves,” said Thomas, the nonpartisan elections guru who kept Michigan’s governing class guessing his political affiliation for the past several decades. “They have propagated this narrative of massive fraud, and it’s simply not true. They’ve leapt from some human error to massive fraud. It’s like a leap to Never Neverland. And people are believing them.”

He exhaled with a disgusted groan.

“The people of this country really need to wake up and start thinking for themselves and looking for facts—not conspiracy theories being peddled by people who are supposed to be responsible leaders, but facts,” Thomas said. “If they’re not going to be responsible leaders, people need to seek out the truth for themselves. If people don’t do that—if they no longer trust how we elect the president of the United States—we’re going to be in real trouble.” [ ]

Mr. Flynn was the only White House official to be convicted as part of the Trump-Russia investigation that was completed by the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III. Under Mr. Trump and Mr. Barr, the administration has been trying to discredit and dismantle that inquiry. Mr. Trump also commuted the sentence of his longtime friend Roger J. Stone Jr. on seven felonies in a case brought by prosecutors working for Mr. Mueller.

A Psalm for Thanksgiving.

1. Shout joyfully to the Lord, all the earth. 2. Serve the Lord with gladness; Come before Him with joyful singing. 3. Know that the Lord Himself is God; It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; We are His people and the sheep of His pasture. 4. Enter His gates with thanksgiving And His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him, bless His name. 5. For the Lord is good; His lovingkindness is everlasting And His faithfulness to all generations. ---

Lurker, you may appreciate the above.

You will notice that Trump has never said anything for Thanksgiving yet.

He did pardon a sycophant of his, Michael Flynn, and certainly Mr. Flynn has something to be thankful for.

It's a short video by Reuters (2+ minutes long) and is even automatically captioned. The sound option was sort of hard to work with my tablet and I had to hit the speaker emblem a couple times to make sure it came on.

It is from the main medical facility in Nebraska, in the country for that matter.
