Argus Hamilton's Rogue Report
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals posted a protest for how turkeys are raised for holiday slaughter. PETA says the birds are overfed, overweight, prone to heart attacks and too bloated to mate. Ben Franklin was ahead of his time as usual when he proposed the turkey be our national symbol.

New York City hosted the annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade Thursday as a million parade attendees enjoyed the floats and entertainment as they coasted down 34th street. What a spectacle. This year the parade featured a Mexican marching band or as it’s called in Texas, precision Democrats.

National Geographic reported that archaeologists digging in Egypt last week uncovered the remains of a temple in a buried royal city in Lower Egypt. What we learn from discovered artifacts teaches us a lot about ourselves. Pyramids are in Egypt because they were too heavy to carry to the British Museum.

President Biden spent Thanksgiving deciding whether he’ll run again in 2024. He’s up against an endless war in Ukraine, a violent crime wave, high food prices, high gas prices, and a daily flood of illegal aliens pouring across the border. Worse than all that, Hunter wants a new laptop for Christmas.

Donald Trump celebrated Thanksgiving with his family at Mar-a-Lago while deciding if he will accept Elon Musk’s offer to rejoin Twtter. The former president is now touting his foreign policy. Trump’s the only president in my life who hasn’t started a war unless you count the Women of the View.

Nancy Pelosi returned to San Francisco for Thanksgiving after announcing her retirement from House Leadership. Nancy’s been in Congress thirty years earning an annual salary of two hundred thousand dollars and today she’s worth two hundred million dollars. Who’s her accountant, Dominion?

Senate Democrats called for extending the Dream Act to millions more illegal migrants. Eleven years ago, the act was partially paid for by a 10% tax on tanning bed sessions. Leave it to Democrats to help brown people become Americans by slapping a tax on Americans who want to be browner people.

Kanye West was reinstated to Twitter Monday as he embarks on the road of public rehabilitation. He just lost a billion dollars in revenue when he said he was about to go to Death Con 2 on the Jews. It’s the worst choice of words since Abraham Lincoln said he needed slavery like he needs a hole in the head.

FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried apologized Tuesday for his Crypto exchange going bust. Sam hopes to reorganize and will send a text to everyone who lost money in an effort to square things up and get rolling again. A Nigerian Prince has been asked to send the text, so be sure and click the link.

The White House faces a split Congress this year with a possible tie in the Senate and a thin GOP margin in the House. It’s like that everywhere. In the World Cup Friday, the U.S. and England played to a 0-0 tie, but we won’t know the final score till Arizona finishes counting the goals in early December.

World Cup action is underway where the U.S. team is playing Iran’s team today before billions of TV viewers worldwide. All the teams represent their nations and their social values. It was great fun to see the host team from Qatar score a goal and watch the players hug each other, and then get arrested.

The World Cup is drawing widespread ridicule from American activists over Qatar’s conservative society. Well, never think other countries don’t tell American jokes. It’s been suggested that if during practice the U.S. team places a school or a nightclub at the corner of the goal, it will improve our shooting.

The Beverly Hills Hotel Polo Lounge had its annual Thanksgiving dinner Thursday and the menu on the lobby wall caused me to laugh. It posted the price for turkey dinner, ham dinner and corned beef dinner with children under five half-price. It made tourists think we’re eating our young now in L.A.

Hollywood’s Alyssa Milano announced Friday she is staging a protest against white supremacy by selling her Tesla and buying a Volkswagen instead. It got a huge laugh because the actress had no idea that the VW was created by Adolf Hitler. It’s the first peaceful day Kanye West has had in a month.

China erupted in massive street protests last week by hundreds of thousands of Chinese citizens fed up and furious over the communist government’s Covid lockdowns. The home confinement lockdowns in China have been credited with saving millions of lives. And that’s just from car accidents.

China protestors demanded overthrow of the communist government after officials refused to let people out of a locked down burning building. The Chinese government is threatening citizens with imprisonment if they don’t do exactly as they are told. Biden is claiming victory in spreading his policies.

The White House reports that President Biden and his family spent the long Thanksgiving holiday weekend on Martha’s Vineyard. It was reported that over the Thanksgiving dinner table the Biden family discussed whether he should run for re-election. Joe keeps asking if it’ll still be him and Obama.

Florida’s Governor Ron DeSantis is reportedly considering a bill that would ban drag shows from performing in Florida classrooms. I have a nephew in the 1st grade whose angry mom pulled him out of school on Drag Show day for medical reasons. She explained to the principal that he’s allergic to nuts.

The White House indicated a willingness to pay climate reparations to underdeveloped nations Friday as penance for our overuse of the earth. This was agreed at the World Climate Summit in Cairo. Delegates arrived in Egypt aboard eight hundred private jets to tell you to ride your bike to work.

California Governor Gavin Newsom stated Friday that he will not run for the Democratic Party nomination for the presidency in two years. We need to get this show going soon. The latest Gallup poll shows that Americans believe if the 2024 election were held today, we might know the result by 2024.

The National Retail Federation reports that Americans will spend a total of nine hundred and sixty billion dollars shopping online and at retail stores this holiday season. It seems every year the stores get in a bigger hurry to open. By next year, Thanksgiving will be a hot dog and drink of water at Costco.
