President trump held a meeting of republican state lawmakers in pennsylvania, once again, falsely claiming election fraud. This election was rigged and we cant let that happen. We cant let it happen for our country, and this election has to be turned around, because we won pennsylvania by a lot, and we won all of these swing states by a lot. Now, the president s personal attorney, rudy giuliani, attended that meeting in gettysburg, where republican lawmakers discussed alleged cases of the voting other rate irregularities in pennsylvania. The president issued a pardon for his former National Security advisor michael flynn. The president announced the party yesterday, calling it, his great honor.

The pardon though will spare flynn of possible prison sentence. A prethanksgiving address, president elect joe biden call for unity, to telling americans, we are at war with a coronavirus, not with each other. He called on americans to do their part to help slow the spread of the virus, saying, his own family was breaking with tradition today and downsizing their thanksgiving celebration. We have always had a big Family Gathering at thanksgiving. Kids, grandkids, aunts, uncles, brothers, sisters and more. The bidens, the days on thanksgiving have always been a time to remember. All we had to be grateful for and times to begin to think about christmas. Again, even to do the christmas lists. But this year, because we care so much for each other, we are going to be having a separate thanksgiving for jill and i at her home in delaware with our daughter and our soninlaw. The rest of the family will be doing the same thing in small groups. So i know how hard it is to forgo family traditions, but its so important. Ride and also about to take action against the coronavirus. Once his presidency begins he also says, he is optimistic about that future, especially with the missing news about vaccine development. There is real hope, tangible help, so hang on. Dont let yourself surrender to the fatigue. Try to understand, it is real fatigue. I know we can and we will beat this virus. America is not going to lose this war. We will get our lives back, life is going to return to normal, i promise you. This will happen, this will not last forever. So yes, it has been a really hard year, particularly hard for over 250,000 people and their families. I still believe we have much to be thankful for. Bidens address comes as a new poll shows that americans want him to focus on pandemic relief. The poll from politico shows 67 of voters believe that biden should prioritize a Coronavirus Relief package in his first 100 days of taking office. 16 said it was important, but a secondary priority. Thanksgiving is typically one of the busiest travel days of the year. In the past, some people have the rows to attend different thanksgiving dinners in one day. This year, many people are rethinking their celebrations and say they are spending this thanksgiving with immediate family only, just to be safe.

We are sad, but we think it is the right choice. We feel okay about it too i think people suggest a home and wait for a few months until things are better.
