On a lark, a colorblind artist contacted Tom Cruise’s management team to see if the Top Gun star wanted to keep a portrait he had made of him. Wilf Elliott, who hails from the east England town of Clacton, is colorblind and has made charcoal drawings of celebrities like Gareth Bale, Zara Larsson, and Sam […] The post Colorblind Artist is Left ‘Starstruck’ After Tom Cruise Met Him to Receive His Portrait appeared first on Good News Network.

As families gather around their dining room tables this Thanksgiving, it’s regrettable that some seats won’t be taken because Trump Derangement Syndrome won’t permit its victims to break bread and count their blessings with relatives and friends who don’t share their irrational hatred of once and future President Donald Trump. The hilarious account Libs of TikTok is replete with videos of TDS sufferers continuing to hyperventilate about Trump’s imminent return to the White House and their unwillingness to give it a rest, even for two or three hours to share a traditional Thanksgiving holiday repast. They’ve essentially disowned family members and friends who committed the unforgivable sin of voting for Orange Man Bad. Perhaps those being shunned should be thankful those mentally addled relatives will spare them the grief. Donald Trump supporters exult at Muldoon’s Irish Pub in Newport Beach, California, on Nov. 5, when he was declared the winner of the presidential election. (Jeff Gritchen/Media News Group/Orange County Register via Getty Images) With or without them, however, there’s much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving. The following, in no particular order, are some things we should all give thanks for—and not just on Thanksgiving, but every day from now on and particularly beginning next Jan. 20: There will be no Cabinet post for Trump Derangement Syndrome sufferer extraordinaire ex-Rep. Liz Cheney, who burned her Republican bridges by campaigning for and with Kamala Harris. Cheney will not be secretary of defense—or anything else—in a Harris administration, because there won’t be one. The American people dodged that electoral bullet because, thank God, Trump dodged a real one. Make-believe “Admiral” Richard Levine (who asks to be known as Rachel) won’t be reenlisting as assistant secretary for health at the Department of Health and Human Services. Anyone on the Left who has been criticizing any of Trump’s Cabinet nominees doesn’t have a (turkey) leg to stand on if they aren’t repulsed every time they see Levine. Meanwhile, Transportation Secretary “Mayor Pete” Buttigieg will be bicycling back to South Bend, Indiana. Tom Homan in January will replace Harris as the nation’s (real) border czar. In just the two weeks since being named to the post, Homan has already been to the border as many times (once) as Harris was in her first 3-1/2 years in office. (The outgoing vice president’s second visit to the border, on Sept. 27, which was nothing more than a campaign photo op, doesn’t count.) That means the end of open borders as we’ve known them the past nearly four years, and with it a much-needed  restoration of U.S. national sovereignty, where the American people—and not the Mexican cartels—get to decide who comes into our country. Gov. Tim Walz, D-Minn., won’t get to redefine masculinity. He also won’t get to cast tiebreaking votes as president of the Senate. Vice President-elect JD Vance will have that duty, but hopefully won’t need to do so, if the incoming Republican Senate majority can hold together. (cc: Sens. Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska) Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., in the upcoming 119th Congress will be demoted to minority leader after Democrats lost four Senate seats and with them the majority. The Democrats’ far-left legislative agenda is now on ice for at least the next four years, since even if they somehow were able to recapture control of both the House and Senate in the midterms in 2026, Trump would surely veto any extremist legislation they passed. Title IX will be restored to its original intent of fostering girls and women’s athletics and will be stripped of the Biden-Harris administration’s unseemly obsession with transgenderism, which the 1972 law’s sponsors never envisioned and would never support. DEI deservedly will be kicked to the curb across the federal government in the second Trump term. When Pete Hegseth takes over as secretary of defense, DEI will be dishonorably discharged from the Pentagon and the military, and there will be no more official Pride Month celebrations on military bases, much less drag queen events at their recreation centers. A gaggle of left-wing celebrities promised to leave the country if Trump won. It remains to be seen how many of them will actually make good on the promise (you can’t call something that positive a “threat”), but if they do, can we make them surrender their passports at the airport so they can never get back in? The long-overdue end of Sen. Mitch McConnell’s often-contrarian tenure as Senate Republican leader, during which he would all too often sell conservatives down the river at crucial moments, especially on bloated spending bills. Hopefully, the octogenarian Kentucky lawmaker’s replacement, Sen. John Thune of South Dakota, won’t be just another go-along-to-get-along type. In what bodes well for consumers, Trump’s “drill, Baby, drill” policies should bring gas prices down to where they were before President Joe Biden and Harris took office on Jan. 20, 2021, with their anti-fossil fuel zealotry. That will have the salutary downstream effect of tamping down inflation, since energy is a key component of the price of almost everything else in the economy, including the manufacturing and transportation of food. And lastly, speaking of Thanksgiving dinners, we truly can be thankful we won’t be force-fed four years of Harris’ indigestible word salads.

THE CENTER SQUARE—The Drug Enforcement Administration plans to hold a formal hearing next week on its plan to reschedule marijuana at the federal level. The proposal is to move marijuana from a Schedule I drug, along with heroin and LSD, to Schedule III, where it would join ketamine and anabolic steroids. In May, the Department of Justice announced that it had submitted a rule that would ease restrictions on cannabis, but the change falls short of the full legalization or decriminalization sought by some advocates. U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland submitted a notice of proposed rulemaking to the Federal Register, kicking off a formal rulemaking process to consider moving marijuana from a Schedule I drug to a Schedule III drug under the Controlled Substances Act. News of the move first broke in late April. A formal hearing is set for 9:30 a.m. ET on Dec. 2 in the North Courtroom at DEA Headquarters, 700 Army Navy Drive, Arlington, Virginia. The preliminary hearing will serve as a procedural day to address legal and logistical issues and discuss future dates for the evidentiary hearing on the merits, according to the DEA. No witness testimony is expected. Marijuana has been an illegal Schedule I drug since 1970, but rescheduling it to be a Schedule III drug could have a limited effect on cannabis consumers, although some cannabis businesses have said the move will allow them to deduct more business expenses, which could result in lower prices, but is not guaranteed. President Joe Biden had previously asked Garland and the secretary of health and human services in 2022 to launch a scientific review of how marijuana is scheduled under federal law. Health and Human Services recommended that DEA reschedule marijuana to Schedule III in 2023. For decades, cannabis has been classified as a Schedule I drug, a class defined as drugs with no accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse. Other Schedule I drugs include heroin, LSD, ecstasy, and methaqualone, the hypnotic sedative sold under the brand name Quaalude before it was discontinued in the 1980s. Under the plan, cannabis would be reclassified as a Schedule III drug, defined as drugs with a moderate to low potential for physical and psychological dependence. Other Schedule III drugs include products containing less than 90 milligrams of codeine per dosage unit, ketamine, anabolic steroids, and testosterone.

Jennifer Garner’s nine-year-old Golden Retriever, Birdie, has passed away, as announced by the actress on her Instagram on November 27. The award-winning actress shared the news with an emotional Instagram post. “It is hard to know how to write this— it seems nuts, given the world, to mourn a pet, but since we have shared Birdie with all of you, it only seems fair to let you know of her passing.” she wrote. Garner explains that they brought nine-year-old pooch to the vet on Thursday, because “she wasn’t feeling herself (a renowned foodie, Birdie never missed a meal)”. “We were surprised to learn that, not only was she very ill, she was at the end of her life.”  Garner also shared that Birdie “hanged on” until her person, Garner’s daughter with Ben Affleck, Violet Affleck, came home from college for Thanksgiving. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jennifer Garner (@jennifer.garner) “The vet told us that dogs often hang on until their person comes home from college and we believe Birdie did just that, so that we could pet her soft ears together and thank her for being the world’s best dog,” Garner shares. In her life, Birdie has shared a YouTube show with Garner called “Books with Birdie” because she loved being read to. She also found her way into Garner’s other YouTube show called “Pretend Cooking Show”. Aside from being a YouTuber, Garner and Birdie were featured in WeRateDogs’ YouTube show, ‘WeWalkDogs’, where the actress revealed that the pooch became a therapy dog at the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. In their episode of ‘WeWalkDogs’, Garner reveled that Birdie was a gift to Violet for her 10th birthday. “My eldest was 2 and decided she needed her own dog, and she talked about it all the time,” the actress reveals. “And I said, ‘When you’re 10, that’s the age that one might get their own dog.’ I thought she’d forget because she was just 2. But now we have Birdie.” Garner wrote, “She lived a happy dog life and is now in the role she was born to play: angel girl.” Garner ended her emotional post for Birdie with, “It’s a gift to love and be loved by such a creature as Birdie the Doggie.” The Instagram post included some of the best moments of Birdie during her life. Moments where she was being read to, sang to, and her admiring a stained glass window in their home with her in it.

Everyone knows that if you celebrate Thanksgiving, you’re a racist colonizer, so that’s why most woke cultures and municipalities will be celebrating indigenous people in an Unthanksgiving and not giving thanks to God for all the great things in our lives. Genesius Times is proud to inform you of how you can not be a bigot on this special day. Mostly, you can imitate what the indigenous peoples did in their heyday like human sacrifice or cannibalism. Plus, you get an exemption from cultural appropriation but only on this day! Here’s how to not be a racist colonizer on Unthanksgiving: Perform human sacrifice We all know the beautiful Aztec indigenous peoples were expert at sacrificing humans—usually on poor people in debt to the state. Many California cities will be performing human sacrifices in honor of these sacred traditions. If someone owes you money, feel free to sacrifice them to the climate god in honor of indigenous peoples! Massacre neighboring indigenous peoples Many uniformed bigots think that indigenous peoples lived in harmony with nature and themselves before the evil Europeans came, but that’s not true. Pretty much all the nations around when the Europeans came had massacred and engulfed several of their neighboring tribes including the Pequot and other tribes near the Pilgrim settlement of Plymouth. Massacring neighboring towns would be a fun activity to do with the kids! Collect scalps of your enemies Some would say that scalping is barbaric, but is it very different than getting your hair cut at a barber shop? I think not. That’s why Elizabeth Warren will be taking up this practice on Unthanksgiving. Select your favorite enemies and take the knife to their scalps. Try it in the middle of the night for added terror! Enslave other humans The slavery of the United States was the worst evil ever perpetrated, but the slavery of the Native Americans was a beautiful cultural heritage. Enslave a few people to celebrate indigenous peoples on Unthanksgiving. Eat people Several indigenous peoples ate other indigenous peoples who they considered to be not people. Cannibalism is so great that you can save the planet and honor your indigenous peoples at the same time! This is how you show you’re really woke! Steal everything Property rights is a racist idea. The Comanche in particular didn’t give a hoot about your property rights and they stole like it was their job. Celebrate Unthanksgiving by looting a Walmart! Wear your BLM gear and no one will stop you! Torture your enemies Indigenous peoples should win a creativity award for how clever their torture techniques were. Disemboweling and dismemberment was an art form to these wonderful peoples. If you’re particularly emboldened to celebrate indigenous peoples, try this fun activity on a loved one! Complain about Europeans doing the same thing you did It’s clear that if you try to hold indigenous peoples to the same standards as Europeans, you’re a bigot. When Europeans made war, it was evil. When indigenous peoples made war, it was beautiful interpretive dancing. Make sure to complain all day long about stuff others do that you did also. California Governor Gavin Newsom plans on condemning people for gathering in large groups while he celebrates Unthanksgiving with all of his lobbyists. If you don’t do these—at least one of them—you’re a bigot. If you’re looking for some entertainment for the ocassion, try Mel Gibson’s Apocalypto about the wonderfully peaceful existence in pre-European America. It’s so heart-warming!
