2025 WHAT TO DO ABOUT THE TREASON?

“The Democrat party, not the American people who identify as Democrats, committed treason over the last 4 years. And that fact is plain to me. The Democrat party after being taken over by the more radical elements of the very most Leftist elite among them have committed treason. And I would have to include in that class of Americans the RINO’s who refused to stand firmly against them, they too have committed a form of treason. In my opinion anyway.”

Good stuff.
For the record, Technicolor did not use that catch-phrase, I just thought it fit exactly.

As for BASF–
Well, they have a VERY checkered past— something to do with the mass-production of sodium cyanide used to kill millions of people.

That would be BASF. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms does not make many things better these days.

Huh. Maybe not so much has changed. Now, though, the Oppressors are happy to enserf others under the banner of ‘Inclusion’. Yeah, I’d rather be excluded.

Wayne:

Reminds me of the BATF commercials. Paraphrased ‘We don’t make the things, we make the things better.’

Happy Thanksgiving. I’d rather be here, than anywhere else. And we can all be thankful for BtB.

Studebaker. Dead give away is the rounded, pointed hood with trim. I am not up on makes and models, just did a search on “1951 Studebaker sedan”. They had several models in various trim packages. Found this that matches pretty close. Hood ornament has the vertical fin like the one he was polishing in the film.

wayne: In the film business we called these films “industrials.”

“A World with a Future in which all of us are tremendously interested, because that is where we are going to spend the rest of our lives.”

“Definitive document of pre-World War II futuristic utopian thinking, as envisioned by General Motors. Documents the “Futurama” exhibit in GM’s “Highways and Horizons” pavilion at the World’s Fair, which looks ahead to the “wonder world of 1960.”

“Bill Johnson,” – played by (uncredited) Dan Palmquist.

“Dan Palmquist was in the drama department at the University of Kansas in Lawrence, Kansas in 1951 when he went to Centron Films in Lawrence to play the parts of George Johnson and Bill Johnson in two films: “Speech: The Function of Gestures” and “A Day of Thanksgiving”. By 1955, Dan was head of the Centron editing department and also directed quite a few science and safety films for the company. He was with Centron until his death.”
Editor on 21 films, including such greats as “The Microscope and Its Use,” and Director of 6, including “Safety on the School Bus,” and “What About School Spirit?”

Allan–
Excellent characterization. This is one of the better guidance-type films I’ve come across
Not a car-guy myself, but this was made & released in October of 1951, so whatever they had in Kansas at the time.

Interestingly, Bill’s employer, “Pipperts Automotive” was totally a real thing.

Lincoln could give a speech. The right man for the right time in history.

This is Rush Limbaugh’s famous Thanksgiving video where he focuses mainly on the Pilgrims trying communism and failing, then switching to capitalism and succeeding.

Every Thanksgiving AM radio talk show host Michael Medved played a fascinating pre-recorded 3 hour history of Thanksgiving where he focused on the history of the Pilgrims and their Plymouth colony. Here is the first hour. I believe the other 2 parts are also on YouTube.

(Michael Medved, who is Jewish, talks a lot about amazing coincidences at critical moments in America’s history that he refers to as “God’s Hand on America”.)

“An American family who cannot afford a turkey for
Thanksgiving contemplates the things for which they are
grateful.”

“…an unusual mental-hygiene film in that it does not equate freedom & happiness in post WW-2 America,
with wealth and consumerism.”

A Centron Films production, made in Lawrence, Kansas with non-professional actors.
