Housekeeping: This is the last newsletter of the week. I hope you all have a wonderful holiday with your friends and family. Politically, we have a lot to be thankful for. Personally, I’m thankful for you all. Together, we fought back against four years of anti-American policy, and in the end, we persevered.

Goodbye, turkey

The cost of Thanksgiving dinner surged more than 20% during Joe Biden and Kamala Harris' time in the White House, underscoring one of the driving factors that got Donald Trump re-elected.

The details: According to an analysis of inflation data by the American Farm Bureau Federation, the average cost of a Thanksgiving feast for ten people [turkey, stuffing, cranberries, and pumpkin pie] costs $58.05 this year, up from 46.90 during the last Thanksgiving under Trump.

Breakdown: Here's how Bidenflation affected your favorite Thanksgiving items, compared to 2020:

• 🦃 Turkey: +32%

• 🎃 Pumpkin pie mix: 22.4%

• 🥖 Rolls: +56.4%

• 🥧 Pie shells: +40%

• 🟢 Green peas: +18.5%

• 🍞 Stuffing: 45.2%

Messaging from Democrats: They have pointed to slight decreases in costs over the last two years, but as the numbers tell you, overall, they’re still up bigly.

Quote: The American Farm Bureau said: “Consumers are exhausted from years of inflation, and it will take more than the past two years’ improvements to ease the pain."

What will Trump do differently? Over-regulation by the Biden-Harris regime has been a major factor in driving up prices. Donald Trump has tapped Lee Zeldin to run the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) with a mandate to “ensure fair and swift deregulatory decisions” to “unleash the power of American businesses.” In other words, Trump is gonna ‘unburden’ our farmers.

Holiday spirit: In the meantime, major retailers like Walmart and Aldi have stepped in to promise pre-Biden-Harris-era prices to help Americans struggling to make ends meet this holiday season. 🧡
