Despite urgings by Health Officials for americans to stay home, people are still traveling for todays holiday, even as coronavirus cases continue to surge. Yesterday there were more than 181,000 cases in the u. S. There were also nearly 2300 deaths, the most since early may. It was a recordbreaking day in california, which recorded more than 18,000 new cases. Thats the largest single day increase for any state since the pandemic started. If you plan to watch the iconic thanksgiving day parade here in new york city, it is going to look a bit different. You guessed it thanks to the pandemic. Naomi ruchim is along the parade route with more. Naomi, good morning. Reporter hey, tom, good morning to you. Thats right, the parade route is much shorter this year. In fact, it is only about a block long, starting and ending right here in front of macys. The balloons, though, they will still fly as organizers h
Translated to growth in other facets of their lives. I just think the biggest thing is, like, that they feel like that they have something that is really cool, that theyre engaged in, and that we, like, care about them and how theyre doing, like, in general. What i like best is they really care about me, like, im not alone, and i have a group of people that i can go to, and, also, surfing is fun. Were creating surfers, and were changing the face of surfing. The feeling is definitely akin to being on a roller coaster. Its definitely faster than i think you expect it to be, but its definitely fun. It leaves you feeling really, really positive about what that kids going to go out and do. I think its really magical almost. At least it was for me. It was really exciting when i caught my first wave. I felt like i was, like it was, like, magical, really. When they catch that first wave, and their first lights up, you know their face lights up, you know you have them hooked. I was on top of th
Greed cell you take. Actually you know what with hollowing almost upon us here in the United States maybe a better greeting would be trick or treat hawk watchers and speaking of things that go bump in the night the very last president ial debate definitely brought us plenty of tricks and treats as we head into the final stretch of days in this very i dont know how shall we say entertaining 2020 u. S. President ial election while the debate was wildly more controlled than the previous meeting between these 2 powerhouses of the 2 Party Corporate dictatorship it was still at the end of the day just another political debate filled with the same spin dodges nonanswers and outright lies that weve come to expect from most of our leaders here in the United States of america but it was not without its tricks and treats from joe biden calling out President Trumps hilarious self aggrandizing on his role in Race Relations here in the United States take a listen Abraham Lincoln here is one of the m

We must be willing to accept as a nation to accept whatever sacrifices must be required of us. A people who values privileges above principle soon will dissolved.
