THE POLITICAL JOKE OF THE DAY FROM FOX

President Biden pardons son Hunter, reversing course after pledging that he wouldn’t - Fox News

Biden pardons son Hunter Biden ahead of exit
from Oval Office.

President Biden previously said he would not pardon his son.

(TNND) —  Hunter Biden, was facing possible prison time for
federal felony gun and tax convictions.

The decision, which reverses Biden’s past promises not to use
the extraordinary powers of the presidency for the benefit of his
family members, comes weeks before Hunter Biden was set to
receive his punishment after his trial conviction in the gun case
and less than two months before President-elect Donald Trump
is set to return to the White House.

A BUS BOYCOTT WAS IGNITED ON THIS DAY


In Montgomery, Alabama on December 1, 1955, Rosa Parks was
jailed for
refusing to give up her seat on a public bus to a white
man, a violation of the city’s racial segregation laws.

The successful Montgomery Bus Boycott, organized by a young
Baptist minister named
Martin Luther King Jr., followed Park’s
historic act of civil disobedience.

“The mother of the civil rights movement,” as Rosa Parks is
known, was born in Tuskegee, Alabama, in 1913.

She worked as a seamstress and in 1943 joined the Montgomery
chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of
Colored People.

FIRST THANKSGIVING COLLEGE FOOTBALL

How the First Thanksgiving College Football Game Kicked Off a Holiday Tradition | HISTORY

On November 30, 1876, Yale defeated Princeton, 2-0, in
Hoboken, New Jersey in the
first collegiate football game
played on
Thanksgiving. Nearly 1,000 fans attend the
game, played in cold, rainy weather.


The football was oval and made of leather, the New York
Times noted, "similar to those used in Rugby Union rules."

The game resembled rugby more than a present-day football
game.

Samuel Langhorne Clemens, later known as Mark Twain,
was born
in Florida, Missouri, on November 30, 1835.

Clemens was apprenticed to a printer at age 13 and later
worked for his older brother, who established the Hannibal
Journal. In 1857, the Keokuk Daily Post commissioned him
to write a series of comic travel letters, but after writing five
he decided to become a steamboat captain instead.

He signed on as a pilot’s apprentice in 1857 and received
his pilot’s license in 1859, when he was 23.
