COLUMBUS, OH (FD)– Joyce Withers stands outside the Kroger’s grocery store in the 43 degree weather with her three-year-old grasping her leg. The sign Mrs. Withers holds reads, “Thanksgiving: Thanks to Jesus.” Her daughter’s sign, which is lying forgotten against a row of carts reads, “It’s not Turkey Day, Give Thanksgiving to the Lord!”
Mrs. Withers is part of a growing group of religious devotees who believe Thanksgiving is losing its religious focus. “Saying Turkey Day is just as bad as saying X-Mas or Bunny Day. It’s downright evil.” She and hundreds of others plan continued protest today across the United States and California.
As many are aware, the Pilgrims sought religious freedoms when they came to America. Miss Wither’s explains, “The dinner with the Indians was a lot like the Last Supper. Bread was broken in the name of the Lord. Now days we celebrate in a similar way: The Turkey represents God. Jesus is the gravy and the Holy Spirit is the stuffing. I like the Holy Spirit part the best. Especially when it is cooked inside God.”
Mrs. Wither’s plans on protesting through the end of Wednesday and into Turkey Day. “We’ll be here through Thursday night and then we go and stand in line at the Wal-Mart so that we can get in on the early morning sales for Christmas.”
How's it going?
How's it going for me? I'm not going to talk about it. I don't want to talk about it. I have completely pulled back from all social media where politics and law are discussed. I've abandoned Fake Dispatch on Twitter and will only keep it on life support in case things there change. The past two years on Twitter have been like watching someone you love start to slowly hate you and then give all your friends cancer and then your partner leaves you for them. Kinda like that.
I do really miss posting my quick thoughts on Twitter. I might have to go back to Bluesky. I initially tried it and I was too attached to Twitter. But on all those platforms, I was following folks that were tracking the election and the prosecution of Trump. I was living in a echo chamber where the walls were painted with justice with revenge for trim.
So, I'm not talking about it.
I honestly think my audience here is coming in to read old posts about haircuts or when they do an internet search for Palmerfest or Fat Cat's Pizza. This site has been left to the elements and will never be what it once was, but I need somewhere to post things that need a link to them. So you are stuck with me.
So, I'm not talking about it. Not yet. But I will.
Fake Dispatch is Dead. Long Live HolyJuan!
Fake Dispatch killed HolyJuan.
Elon Musk killed Twitter.
HolyJuan lives again.
