When Black Friday first started back in the 60’s, retailers needed to slash prices to get people to show up the day after Thanksgiving. Businesses were in competition and each tried to outdo each other with bigger deals. Each year more and more started going shopping on Black Friday. As time went on, deals started having a time restraint. Meaning the best deals, in limited quantities, would only be released at 10am, then 8am, then 6am, then to the first 20 people, etc. So this trained people to go shopping earlier and earlier, until they had to show up before the stores opened to get the ‘doorbusters’. And we saw this in Mervyn’s ads in the 90’s with a lady waiting for the store to open. And did we get deals? Heck yeah! I got all the furniture for my place and a 10″ plasma TV for only $2! Well, not that much. And I don’t recall what I got. But I do remember seeing tons of deals all over. (But the checkout line that wrapped around the store was enough to make me willing to come back in a few days and pay more) Then retailers realized that the people had been trained to show up early on Black Friday. They didn’t need killer deals anymore to lure them in. So, then they started offering less deals. Did the people still show up? Yep. And sadly over the last decade (that I call the Darkest Timeline) they have pretty much made the bait and switch complete, where now they offer the IDEA of Big Sale. Just hike up the original price so it SEEMS like a sale. These days doorbusters are few and far between. But big box stores are hoping we don’t notice. Black Friday is a big scam pic.twitter.com/MVQPsTOMVW — NO CONTEXT HUMANS (@HumansNoContext) November 26, 2024 See for yourself. This clip shows how the “Black Friday deal” is just covering up the previous same price. Scam-a-roony!

BUT they’re claiming the 12 count cost $30? Then they “mark it down” to make you think you’re getting a huge deal? Scammy black Friday junk. Mark up the price and pretend you’re giving almost 70% off. pic.twitter.com/WgD0fKCSPP — You meep, I moop (@jmmooreo) November 27, 2024 That dress that you love? It was $10 cheaper days before Black Friday. Exhibit A of how Black Friday is a scam.. 2 days ago this dress was $79.99 now it’s $89.99. Although companies are advertising sales of 50%+ off, keep in mind that they hike up the original price & make it seem like you’re actually receiving a bomb discount. pic.twitter.com/lMxmrQ9P1p — anb (@alysia_nicoleee) November 29, 2019 People are catching on. And they’re aren’t happy! These Black Friday deals on amazon are a fucking scam! Why is it that a product that was $50 2 weeks ago is now “on sale for $50” and it says the alleged retail price is $80??? I’m so tired of the price gouging — ᏗᏝᎩᏕᏕᏗ (@osolovelylys) November 22, 2024 Beware Amazon’s Black Friday deals, it’s a marketing scam. Was tracking a gift for a grandson, it went on “sale” for Black Friday, price is actually the same, they raised the “typical price” by $10. I remember some dept store getting in trouble for the same back in the day. pic.twitter.com/FMSKvNHWga — Lorraine Lanning (@Common_SenseCO) November 23, 2024 And with online shopping so popular, it’s not the same anymore. People aren’t camping out anymore. If they want more shoppers, they’re going to need to have legitimate deals, like days of old.   Make Black Friday Great Again. Here’s some clips of when it used to be fun and you could get deals. Not everywhere was an intense stampede, unlike the news showed. Best Buy in 2005: Toys R Us in 2009. (RIP) Here’s a stroll through Target in 2007, years before they went woke.  

What taxpayer has paid the IRS more than anyone in history? That would be Elon Musk. He paid them $10+ billion. Is the taxes from just that one man enough to keep them happy and running smoothly? You’d think so. But they just begged for $20 billion, not from him, but from the government. But guess who works for the government now? That’s right. Musk. And so Musk shared some thoughts on what he wants to do with them, using polls. And 60% of the people voted to wipe out the IRS. Elon Musk: I paid over $10 billion in taxes. I was hoping the IRS would send me a little trophy, but I didn’t get anything. “For what it’s worth, I’m the largest individual taxpayer in history. I paid over $10 billion in taxes.  I thought maybe the IRS would send me a little… pic.twitter.com/DbUSKBL7rw — ELON CLIPS (@ElonClipsX) November 15, 2024 And Musk did this by posting a poll. First, he asked if we should abolish them and get a flat tax system. Should we abolish the IRS and go with a flat tax system? A) Yes, flat tax now B) No, keep the IRS but lower taxes — Not Elon Musk (@iamnot_elon) November 20, 2024 Then he pointed out that they’re begging for $20 BILLION more!? These leeches of society freak out if you don’t give them a few hundred but they’re begging for thousands of millions? The IRS just said it wants $20B more money. Do you think it’s budget should be: — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) November 27, 2024 As you can see from the poll, the people are wanting the IRS deleted! New York Post reports: Billionaire Elon Musk asked social media users Wednesday if the Internal Revenue Service should be “deleted” — a day after a top Biden-Harris administration official urged Congress to give the federal agency $20 billion. “The IRS just said it wants $20B more money,” Musk, who will co-lead informal Department of Government Efficiency under President-elect Donald Trump, wrote on X. The world’s richest person then asked users for their thoughts on the tax authority’s budget situation. “Do you think its budget should be: Increased, Same, Decreased, Deleted,” Musk asked in a poll. More than 60% of X users preferred having the IRS’s budget “deleted.” “The IRS is going to potentially have to make dramatic decisions about stopping hiring and starting to budget for a world in which they don’t have $20 billion, which will stop a lot of their progress,” Adeyemo told reporters on a press call Tuesday. ”If they don’t get that $20 billion that is at risk they would run out of enforcement money at the current pace sometime in fiscal year 2025,” he added.  Oh no. Anything but that. They’re going to run out of enforcement money! Good. And good riddance to the IRS! Nobody wants them and they’re unconstitutional. Don’t just defund the IRS. Abolish this rogue unconstitutional entity entirely! #TaxationIsTheft pic.twitter.com/0uLkCEcFpq — Liberals Leaving (@LiberalsLeaving) November 27, 2024 It wasn’t always this way.

But I get it. Why would they extort themselves? That’s not what gangsters do. They extort you, the people. An audit has revealed that over 5,800 IRS employees and contractors owe nearly $50 million in unpaid taxes.

This is a fine time to be thankful. Thankful that the Democrats that try to rob us of fun, let alone everything else I could mention, no longer have the upper hand in this country. What did they want us to do on Thanksgiving in the past? Lock down. No more than 3 people over for dinner. Keep music down. Don’t sing. Are we allowed to laugh? Is that okay? Should we all just mourn over our meal, would that make Democrats happy? Let’s just think about everything terrible and sad because that’s the frequency they want us to send out. A low vibration. Well, it’s not happening this year! But let’s just look at what they did to us over the last few Thanksgivings… Never forget or forgive pic.twitter.com/uBd8ByhDlo — End Wokeness (@EndWokeness) November 28, 2024 Hey Newsom we won’t forget this crap. Here’s a reminder of California Thanksgiving regulations 3 years ago. Outdoor gatherings only, guests must sit six feet apart, no passing food, brief restroom breaks. Californians were told to call the police on neighbors breaking the rules. pic.twitter.com/SJFbrefV8T — Colette Harrington (@sweetcarolinatv) November 25, 2023 Newsweek reported: California Gov. Gavin Newsom and the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) released new safety guidelines for all private gatherings amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The new rules come with strict restrictions that aim to help reduce the risk of spreading infection. “Gatherings are defined as social situations that bring together people from different households at the same time in a single space or place. When people from different households mix, this increases the risk of transmission of COVID-19,” the CDPH said in a statement. No more than three households All gatherings must include no more than three households, including hosts and guests, and must be held outdoors, lasting for two hours of less. “The longer the duration [of the gathering], the risk of transmission increases,” the statement noted. “Gatherings that occur outdoors are significantly safer than indoor gatherings. All gatherings must be held outside. Attendees may go inside to use restrooms as long as the restrooms are frequently sanitized,” the statement added. Masks must stay on after eating and drinking The new rules state those at a gathering “may remove their face coverings briefly to eat or drink as long as they stay at least 6 feet away from everyone outside their own household, and put their face covering back on as soon as they are done with the activity.” The latest guidelines add: “Face coverings can also be removed to meet urgent medical needs (for example, to use an asthma inhaler, take medication, or if feeling light-headed).” The existing face covering rules set out by the CDPH also apply, which state everyone must wear face coverings in “high-risk situations,” including in outdoor public spaces when maintaining a six-feet distance from those outside your household is not feasible. Singing and shouting “strongly discouraged” Singing, chanting and shouting are “strongly discouraged” because they “pose a very high risk of COVID-19 transmission,” the statement noted. “Singing, chanting, shouting, and physical exertion significantly increases the risk of COVID-19 transmission because these activities increase the release of respiratory droplets and fine aerosols into the air. Because of this, singing, chanting, and shouting are strongly discouraged,” the statement said. Those who do participate in these activities should “do so quietly (at or below the volume of a normal speaking voice),” and wear a face covering while engaged in the activity, the statement said. Those who sing, chant or shout are also “strongly encouraged” to keep a physical distance of more than six feet to further reduce the risk of spreading infection. Never forget, Gavin Newsom not only tried to ruin your Thanksgiving, but then lied about it “I read somewhere some folks asserting we put out guidelines for the holidays. They simply were misled or, intentionally, were misleading people. We have not put out Thanksgiving… pic.twitter.com/dyaZ9r6xzl — Kevin Dalton (@TheKevinDalton) November 28, 2024 Meanwhile he’s not following any of his rules: Wow.

Well, here’s a lump of coal to kick of the season. A case of the ‘died suddenly’ happened during a performance of A Christmas Carol. Julien Arnold, the guy playing Marley and Mr. Fezziwig in A Christmas Carol up in Edmonton, passed away right there during the show. The folks at the Citadel Theatre called him a gem. They’re gonna miss him, no doubt. They tried everything, too—audience, staff, paramedics—but the guy didn’t make it. Now the theatre’s shuffling some schedules, and ticket holders will get the heads-up.

The Citadel’s executive director, Jessie van Rijn, and artistic director, Daryl Cloran, said in a statement on Monday that Arnold was a beloved cast member and cherished member of the Edmonton theatre community. “His presence brought joy, heart and depth to every role, and his artistic contributions — and big hugs — will be deeply missed,” they said. They thanked the theatre’s front-of-house team, medical professionals from the audience and paramedics “for their swift actions” on Sunday. The statement did not specify the cause of Arnold’s death. Kerry Williamson, a spokesperson for Alberta Health Services, said paramedics visited the theatre at approximately 8:28 p.m. on Sunday. Despite resuscitation attempts, Arnold died in the theatre. He was playing the roles of Marley and Mr. Fezziwig in the play, according to the Citadel’s playbill. Cloran and van Rijn said there will be slight scheduling changes for future performances and the box office will contact affected ticket holders.

Kennedy, an libertarian political commentator, wrote an article for Daily Mail to send out a warning to Kai Trump. She mentions how she’s living the ultimate influencer life. There’s her trips on Air Trump, posting Election night wardrobe, and flashing designer items by a Cybertruck. But should she be posting this? Kai’s glittery online persona might inspire envy, but it’s a potential minefield for a teenager. Her uncle Barron is fairly private and grew up in peace. But Kai’s feeding the social media beast could be dangerous. Kennedy states in her article that for a young woman still finding her way, maybe it’s time to trade TikToks for a quieter life. Also, how many on the Left are eyeing her as a potential target. Posting all that she does gives people an idea where she is, where she goes, etc. There’s a guy who showed that he can pinpoint where anyone is just by looking at their photos. @KennedyNation ‘This may sound old-fashioned but hear me out’ https://t.co/uldTxCUJB1 pic.twitter.com/UJR3AyHoZu — Daily Mail Online (@MailOnline) November 27, 2024 Daily Mail reports: It’s hard to doom-scroll these days without spotting a soft-focus snap of the latest greatest Trump progeny living their best life. But Kai Trump, granddaughter to the President-elect, must be taking the longest victory lap of them all after Papa Don’s electoral gut punch to liberal America. Kai is blissfully 17 years old and, like nearly every other pigtailed teen, she’s flexing, has rizz and drip and is chasing clicks and clout (I have no idea what I just wrote, but she does). On Tuesday, the daughter of Don Jr. and his ex-wife Vanessa posted a YouTube video from on-board gramps’s jet to Texas where she and an identikit pal (in matching Skims) marveled at ‘Uncle’ Elon’s latest rocket launch. Before that, she was video-blogging scenes from Election night, including from inside her bedroom as she selected an outfit. Or posting from the golf course. Or performing the latest TikTok dance. Or posing in a sparkly mini-skirt by a butt-ugly Tesla Cybertruck. When Kai burst onto the scene at the Republican National Convention in July, introducing ‘grandpa’ in an adorable on-stage speech, I couldn’t get enough. Now I’m begging her to strap her bedazzled iPhone to Musk’s next exploding rocket. Because she needs to get off social media – stat. For an adult, Kai’s life would be as dangerously intoxicating as a half dozen Mar-a-Lago spritzers. For an underage and impressionable girl, it’s massively concerning. This may sound old-fashioned but hear me out: I have two teenage daughters and I’m well aware of the social media pressure-cooker in which our children live. Even for my non-famous girls, I constantly worry about the impact of Chinese algorithms and the nasty comments of faceless critics. Imagine what Kai is opening herself up to. Millions of people have now had a peep at her bedsheets! And many of those millions are surely waiting to pounce on the slightest scent of a mistake. Yep, kidnappers and traffickers are trained on how to find you, All they need is to see your posted pics. Then they know where you go, your routine, where in your routine has a weakness, wait around that area, and pounce. All it takes is 1 pic to find you… Here it is in action: And there are many traffickers and pedos that scroll through Instagram and TikTok as if it’s a catalog of people they’d like to kidnap. They pick who they want. And the traffickers use the details in the photo to locate the person, etc, etc. That’s why kid’s should never have their pics posted online.
