Happy National Indiana Day!

Travel 2 Minutes

(I would have scheduled this for the 11th, but Veteran’s Day is more important in my opinion.)

November 11 is annually observed as National Indiana Day, and we are here to help make it a delight. Indiana ranks seventeenth in population and thirty-eighth in area within the United States of America. The state of Indiana is home to numerous industrialists, entertainment professionals, laborers, and farmers, with Indianapolis serving as its capital. National Indiana Day was established to honor the state of Indiana and its indigenous people, the “Hoosiers.” It is a day to honor their accomplishments and positive attitude.

National Indiana Day 2023: History

It is believed that the Paleo-Indians were the first to settle in Indiana in 8000 B.C., when the glaciers began to melt during the final phases of the Ice Age. Numerous implements and weaponry unearthed in 5000 B.C. during the Archaic Period are believed to have been manufactured by the ancient Indiana civilization.

During the 1500s, when Europeans first settled in the Americas, substantial human settlements had already formed. French exploration began in the 1600s, and trading facilities were established by the 1700s. Beginning in the 1760s, the French-Indian War ensued. The French Canadians were on the side of the indigenous nations of Indiana. In 1763, the British defeated the enemy. Following the American Revolution in 1783, the Northwest Territory, subsequently referred to as Indiana, was delineated by the United States.

Indiana exerted significant influence throughout the Civil War by enlisting more than 7,000 soldiers in the Union Army. In Indiana, numerous new industries emerged in the postwar period. The prominence of industries such as industrial machinery, agriculture, and mining increased. Steel and pharmaceutical companies proliferated throughout Indiana following World War II.

Today, Indiana is regarded as a center of culture. Literary works such as “The Gentleman from Indiana” and “The Hoosier Schoolmaster” serve as reflections of the socio-cultural milieu that molds the state of Indiana. Additionally, Indiana is renowned for its football, basketball, and NASCAR programs. The State has constructed an extensive system of railways, seaports, and roads. In addition to being the birthplace of numerous renowned politicians, musicians, and poets, Indiana is renowned for its “Hoosier hospitality.” The purpose of National Indiana Day is to honor the state of Indiana and its citizens.

    1. Good morning, Pat! Temp was down to 34 this morning; I left tuna out for Wheezer and it was gone this morning so he’s still kicking. Bright sun without a cloud in the sky!

      HB used to spend the summers in NE with my parents. We would meet in Indiana, which is about half-way, at one particular Holiday Inn (HB loved to swim in the pool) for the drop off/pick up. When she was 4 (before the expansion to Holiday World), I decided to eschew the interstate and stay on the local highways for the trip back so we could do some sightseeing. The first place we went was Santa Claus Land. I’ve got a ton of pics from that trip. When we got to KY, we visited Churchill Downs as well as the Kentucky Horse Park. Great memories for me!

      “Santa Claus Land, originally opened on August 3, 1946, in Santa Claus, Indiana, is recognized as the world’s first theme park. It was founded by retired industrialist Louis J. Koch, who aimed to create a place where children could visit Santa Claus year-round, inspired by his disappointment that children visiting the town of Santa Claus, Indiana, were often dismayed to find no Santa. The park initially offered a Santa Claus actor, a toy shop, toy displays, a restaurant, and themed children’s rides, including the Freedom Train, which originally opened as the Santa Claus Land Railroad.

      In 1984, the park expanded beyond its Christmas theme and was renamed Holiday World to include sections celebrating Halloween, Thanksgiving, and the Fourth of July. The addition of a water park named Splashin’ Safari in 1993 led to the current name, Holiday World & Splashin’ Safari. The park remains family-owned and operated by the Koch family and attracts over one million visitors annually. It is home to The Voyage, a wooden roller coaster that has repeatedly been voted the number one wooden roller coaster in the world by coaster enthusiasts.

      The park is located in Santa Claus, Indiana, a town with a population of 2,586 as of the 2010 census, covering a total area of 6.86 square miles (17.76 km²), of which 6.44 square miles (16.67 km²) is land. The town also features the Santa Claus Land of Lights, a 1.2-mile drive-through Christmas light adventure located next to Holiday World at Sun Outdoors Lake Rudolph.”

    1. More from ABC7 Chicago:

      Attorneys on both sides of the case have been working to identify how many people arrested by immigration agents this year violated the previously agreed-upon consent decree.

      As part of that consent decree, ICE agreed to certain conditions for arresting someone in the Chicago area without a warrant, including pre-determining whether there is probable cause to believe the person is in the country illegally, and whether they are also a flight risk; two requirements that immigrant advocates say have been flouted in hundreds cases, including the recent arrest at a Chicago day care.

      […]

      Attorneys representing the Department of Homeland Security have argued that Congress stripped federal courts of their authority to grant parole to large groups of immigrants in ICE custody.

      In their filings, government attorneys argue, “Congress has vested the authority to grant parole solely with the Secretary of Homeland Security… Federal courts cannot order the Department of Homeland Security to release any aliens on parole because Congress has stripped them of that authority.”

  6. Just The News: “The Supreme Court on Tuesday extended a pause on a federal judge’s ruling that would have required the Trump administration to fully fund about $4 billion in additional SNAP food program payments in November.

    The decision means the government, for now, does not have to distribute that additional SNAP funding as required by Rhode Island-based U.S. District Judge John McConnell, according to NBC News. The block remains in place until midnight on Thursday.

    Speaker Mike Johnson has called members of Congress to return for Wednesday, with voting expected to begin around 4 p.m. ET. If the vote goes as expected, the Senate-passed measure will pass in the House, ending the longest shutdown in U.S. history. 

    The case would likely become moot if the shutdown ends, as the SNAP program would be fully funded through September of next year.”

    Just The News: “President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday that Veterans Day will also be known as “Victory Day for World War I” — citing America’s role in Germany’s surrender on November 11, 1918.

    He was speaking in honor of Veterans Day at a wreath laying ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia.  “Today is not only Veterans Day, but it’s my proclamation that we are now going to be saying and calling [it] Victory Day for World War I,” Trump said, according to the New York Post. 

    “I saw France was celebrating ‘victory day,’ but we didn’t. And I saw France was celebrating another ‘victory day’ for World War II, and other countries were celebrating. They were all celebrated. We’re the one that won the wars.”

    “From now on, we’re going to say Victory Day for World War I and World War II. And we could do for plenty of other wars, but we’ll start with those two. Maybe someday somebody else will add a couple of more, because we won a lot of good ones,” Trump said.

    Do you agree with President Trump that Veterans Day and others should also be called Victory Day?

    60% (1071 votes) Yes, by all means, considering the US’s role in WWI and WWII

  9. “Coast Guard Hits Highest Recruiting Numbers In Nearly 35 Years”

    The Federalist, By: Shawn Fleetwood, November 11, 2025

    Coast Guard boat.

    ENTIRE ARTICLE: “The U.S. Coast Guard experienced its best year for recruitment in more than three decades, the service announced Friday.

    “The Coast Guard far exceeded our recruiting goals in Fiscal Year 2025, showing that more Americans want to serve in the Coast Guard than ever before,” said Adm. Kevin Lunday, acting commandant of the Coast Guard, in a statement. “Thanks to our recruiters for their great success. We aren’t just growing — we are bringing in the best talent from across the United States and building the workforce of the future.”

    According to an agency press release, the Coast Guard “accessed 5,204 active-duty enlisted service members in FY25, which was 121% of its FY25 target of 4,300.” This year’s totals mark an improvement over the branch’s FY24 recruitment figures, which saw 4,422 new members join the service.

    The Coast Guard also saw an uptick in its reserve numbers, bringing in 777 reservists, “which was 104% of the official target of 750.” The branch additionally commissioned 371 new officers, hitting “101% of the overall goal” and making it the “largest officer target achieved in recorded history.”

    The service separately announced on Monday that it is soliciting potential locations for a new training center to help accommodate the force’s projected growth.

    The Coast Guard’s record-setting recruiting figures represent a major win for the Trump administration, which has seen a significant boost in the number of Americans seeking to join the military since its return to office.

    As The Federalist previously reported, the Army, Navy, and Air Force all hit their FY25 recruiting targets months ahead of schedule, with the Marine Corps and Space Force also hitting their respective goals. This recruiting boom was also apparent right after Trump’s 2024 election victory, with U.S. Army Recruiting Command revealing last year that its recruiters “had their most productive December in 15 years by enlisting 346 Soldiers daily.”

    The notable uptick in new members joining the military comes in stark contrast to the recruiting crisis that plagued the Biden administration, which prioritized the implementation of racist DEI ideology throughout the service. While the military did hit its recruiting goals during the last year of Biden’s presidency, it did so after several branches axed traditional standards recruits were expected to meet to qualify for service.”

  10. Swalwell, like many other dems, playing the “primary residence” game on mortgage papers.

    FTA

    California Representative Eric Swalwell has faced a barrage of controversy in recent years, from his alleged ties to the Chinese spy “Fang Fang,” to his removal from the House Intelligence Committee over national security concerns, to his infamous on-air mishap during a 2019 interview on Hardball with Chris Matthews.

    Now, a new revelation raises even more serious questions about Swalwell’s integrity and eligibility to serve in Congress.

    Despite serving as a Congressman from California’s 15th District and claiming Hometown: Livermore on his official House profile, Swalwell has declared his Washington, DC property as his “principal residence.”

    A public Deed of Trust for Swalwell’s DC home at 209 S Street NE, dated April 18, 2022, confirms the property is designated as his “principal residence” as a condition of the loan.

    The deed includes explicit language making the borrower liable for false or misleading statements regarding occupancy.

    “Borrower shall be in default if… Borrower gave materially false, misleading, or inaccurate information or statements to Lender… Material representations include Borrower’s occupancy of the Property as Borrower’s principal residence.”

    Deed of Trust document detailing borrower information, lender details, and property address for a real estate loan agreement.

    Under Article I, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution, members of Congress must be “inhabitants” of the state they represent at the time of their election.

    In California, maintaining this inhabitancy means holding tangible, verifiable ties to the state, such as owning or renting a residence, registering to vote, paying state income taxes, and possessing a California driver’s license.

    California Elections Code 349 goes even further. A domicile is defined as “the place in which his or her habitation is fixed” and “the place where a person intends to return and remain.”

    If Swalwell’s true domicile is in Washington, DC, the city where he has declared his principal residence, he may no longer meet the basic requirement of being a California “inhabitant.”

    Public records searches have not revealed any home ownership or lease under Eric Swalwell’s name in California.

    The address most often associated with his background in Livermore, 320 Michell Court, is only a three-bedroom, 1,350 square feet home that belongs to the Mrzywka family who has lived there continuously since 2008, making it highly unlikely that Swalwell resides there today.

    Failure to maintain a legitimate residence in California could expose Swalwell to legal, ethical, and electoral repercussions. A false declaration of residency risks tax violations, misrepresentation to lenders, and challenges to his eligibility for re-election.

    Politically, the revelation of a Washington DC “principal residence” undermines Swalwell’s credibility and fuels accusations of hypocrisy, especially since Swalwell rose to power by attacking his predecessor Pete Stark for being “out of touch” with the district due to Stark’s residency outside California.

    During the 2012 campaign, Swalwell’s mailers mocked Stark as “missing” from his constituents. Now, Swalwell himself may be the one who’s gone completely missing from the state he’s supposed to represent.

    Swalwell’s inability to maintain a California home may stem from personal financial mismanagement. His 2025 Financial Disclosure Report paints a bleak picture.

    Despite earning $174,000 per year for 13 years in the US Congress, Swalwell has failed to pay down his student loans, remains mired in credit card debt, and has even cashed out his pension.

  11. “With Most Players Arrested For Gambling, Air Bud Finally Called Up To NBA”

    Sports · Nov 11, 2025 · BabylonBee.com

    Image for article: With Most Players Arrested For Gambling, Air Bud Finally Called Up To NBA

    MIAMI, FL — Now that a majority of players have been arrested on charges of illegal sports gambling, the Miami Heat announced that the golden retriever affectionately known as “Air Bud” had finally been called up to play in the NBA.

    “There’s nothing in the rules that says a dog can’t be on a roster,” said NBA Commissioner Adam Silver. “But I expect him to play by the rules, or he’s going to find himself in the doghouse. Literally and figuratively.”

    Air Bud had reportedly signed with the Heat over the weekend, taking the place of guard Terry Rozier. “Air Bud assured me with the wag of his tail that he can make a great guard. He’s sure to take us all the way this year,” said Heat General Manager Andy Elisburg at a team press conference. “Aren’t you a good boy, Air Bud? Yes, you are!”

    Sports commentators were quick to question Air Bud’s qualifications for playing in the NBA, noting that his time as an unofficial high school basketball mascot was a far cry from professional sports. “Does he have the power needed to go up against players like LeBron and Giannis?” questioned Bob Costas. “I don’t think so. A pitbull, he is not.”

    At publishing time, Air Bud had been arrested in a sports gambling sting, though police admitted the charge might not stick, as there was nothing explicitly outlined in the law that said dogs couldn’t gamble.

  14. “Big Food ‘transparency’ campaign seeks to block tough new food safety laws”

    US Right to Know, Stacy Malkan | November 12, 2025

    EXCERPT: “Americans are once again demanding higher standards for the food they eat, insisting that companies stop using chemicals known to harm health. But instead of listening to their customers, the world’s largest food and beverage companies have launched a “transparency” campaign – fronted by a longtime tobacco industry ally – and they are betting their old, tired political playbook will allow them to keep profiting from manufacturing unhealthy foods. 

    A wave of food safety bills across the U.S. – pushed by the “Make America Healthy Again” (MAHA) coalition and others – has the ultra-processed food industry playing defense. Lawmakers in dozens of states have introduced at least 89 proposals this year seeking to restrict or ban synthetic dyes, chemical additives or ultra-processed foods. Their drive is based on strong scientific evidence tying ultra-processed foods to serious health concerns, especially cancer, obesity, Type 2 diabetes, dementia, depression, cardiovascular disease, and early death – and evidence showing that many ultra-processed foods are designed to be addictive.

    Red and blue states alike are responding by advancing legislation to improve the quality of America’s food supply. Texas and Louisiana will require warning labels on foods containing any of more than 40 dyes or additives. California banned multiple food dyes from school lunches and was the first to ban ultra-processed foods from schools. Utah and Virginia approved similar restrictions on synthetic dyes in school meals. Arizona and West Virginia passed measures to reduce ultra-processed foods and chemical additives served to children.

    Claiming ‘transparency’ to perpetuate business as usual

    In this new political moment of invigorated consumer and public health movements, the food industry is dusting off strategies long associated with Big Tobacco – erecting front groups, casting doubt on evidence their products cause harm, and attempting to reframe the debate. Under banners like “Americans for Ingredient Transparency” and the “Good to Know Transparency Initiative,” big food and beverage brands are striving to position themselves as champions for our right to know.  

    But the real purpose of these campaigns is clear: to protect profits and evade stronger public health protections. Funded by General Mills, Kraft Heinz, PepsiCo, Coca-Cola and dozens of other food and beverage corporations and trade groups, the newly launched Americans for Ingredient Transparency (AFIT) is pushing for a federal law that would override tough new state-level food safety laws in favor of a weaker federal standard…..”

  29. “Read this whole thing – tell me you don’t know at least five people like her…”

    “To save myself from my $1,800-a-month studio apartment, I had to move into his basement. This wasn’t the plan. The plan was a downtown loft, happy hours, and a vibrant social life funded by my new marketing degree. Instead, I’m in suburban Ohio, sleeping on a 1980s sofa bed in a room that smells like cedar wood and mothballs. “It’s just temporary,” I told myself, clutching my artisan iced coffee as I hauled in the last box.

    “That stuff costs five bucks?” Grandpa Frank asked from the doorway. He was holding a steaming mug of black instant coffee that looked thick enough to pave a driveway. “It’s $7.50, Gramps,” I corrected him. “And it’s a small luxury. I worked hard for this job. I deserve a treat.”

    Frank just grunted. “You ‘deserve’ to pay off that $40,000 school debt you keep complaining about. I just drink coffee. You drink a car payment.”

    Living with Frank was like living with a ghost from a history book. A very judgmental history book. His house was a museum of thrift. There was one television – a small, buzzing box he’d owned since my dad was in high school. He got three channels with an antenna. I had subscriptions to four different streaming services on my laptop, which I paid for by “browsing” more than actually watching.

    “Why you paying for all those shows?” he asked one night, squinting at my screen. “It’s choice, Gramps. Options.” “Looks like a waste of time,” he said, turning his attention back to the local news.

    The real flashpoint was food. On Friday, after a brutal week of spreadsheets, I was exhausted. I didn’t want to cook. I wanted convenience. I opened my favorite food delivery app and ordered a $28 artisan burger. When the delivery driver pulled up, Frank was on the porch. He watched me take the bag like I had just committed a felony.

    That night, he was eating what he called “Whatever’s-Left-Casserole,” which appeared to be leftover hotdogs, some beans, and half an onion, baked. It looked awful. It probably cost $2. “Must be nice,” he muttered, spooning the brown sludge onto his plate. “Eating like royalty.”

    “It’s just one burger, Frank!” I snapped, the stress of my loan payments boiling over. “The economy is terrible! Inflation is insane. I can’t even afford rent. You guys had it easy! You bought this whole house on one salary!”

    Frank put his fork down. It was the first time I’d seen him look genuinely angry. “Easy?” he said, his voice dangerously quiet. “I started at the steel mill at 18. I worked 12-hour shifts, six days a week. When inflation was 10% in the 80s, my mortgage rate was 14%. I didn’t eat ‘artisan’ anything. I ate a bologna sandwich. Every. Single. Day.”

    He pointed at my laptop. “You got a $1,200 phone. My phone,” he gestured to an ancient flip phone in a cradle by the wall, “makes calls. You got a tattoo sleeve that cost more than my first car. My tattoos?” He rolled up his sleeve to show a faded blue anchor. “Got this in the Navy. It came with nightmares, not a payment plan.”

    I felt my face flush. “So what, I’m just supposed to be miserable?”

    “You’re not miserable!” he barked. “You’re just soft. You kids want the reward without the work. You want the house, but you won’t give up the $7 coffee. You want financial freedom, but you pay $28 for a burger because you’re too ‘tired’ to open a can of soup.”

    He walked over to his old roll-top desk and pulled out a small, vinyl-bound bank book. He tossed it on the table. It was a passbook for his savings account. I opened it. The balance made my stomach drop. From his factory pension and social security, this man who lived on canned soup and instant coffee had saved over $280,000. I looked at the balance. I looked at my phone, still open to the delivery app. I looked at the $9 remaining on my $28 burger.

    Frank picked up his plate of leftovers. “You’re right, Alex,” he said, heading to the kitchen. “I bought this house on one salary. But I also didn’t have 47 subscriptions, leased cars, or ’emotional support’ smoothies.”

    He stopped at the doorway and looked back, his eyes drilling into me. “You don’t have an income problem. You have an expense problem. You’re not poor. You’re just paying a subscription to act rich.”
