We live in a time of heedless iconoclasm, and so one of the country’s oldest traditions is under assault. Thanksgiving is increasingly portrayed as, at best, based on falsehoods and, at worst, a whitewash of genocide against Native Americans. The New York Times ran a piece the other day titled, “The … Read More

Governor Phil Scott of Vermont is now directing schools to interrogate students about what they did on Thanksgiving. He wants to know if they had a large family gathering. Did you ever imagine that things like this would be taking place in the United States? And Phil Scott is a Republican. What is he thinking?
(artiemedvedev/Getty Images) We should be cheerful, useful, modest, and patient, and ever mindful of those gifts and blessings that we could not possibly hope to deserve. My mother always enjoyed making Thanksgiving dinner. She took a traditional Southern woman’s pride in being a good cook, following her mother’s recipes, and my family made a rare
This year, Thanksgiving Day falls on Thursday the 26th of November, marking 231 years to the exact date of the first Thanksgiving Day proclaimed by President George Washington. Forgive the cliche of quoting from Washington’s proclamation, but the simple fact is Washington issued a near-perfect statement of how Americans ought to think about the Thanksgiving
Last Thanksgiving, I wrote about the certainty of hope. Never could I have imagined how relevant that message would be the following year. In 2020, we have experienced a pandemic, witnessed violent riots in the streets, and plowed through perhaps the most divisive political election in American history. In light of COVID-19, lockdowns, and tribalistic
In Tuesday’s New York Times, reporters Astead Herndon and Nick Corasaniti helped out the Democratic cause in the unusual double runoff election in Georgia that will decide which party has control of the Senate next term: “Republicans On Attack In Costly Georgia Runoffs.” The text box established the premise: “A slate of scathing negative ads
Because 2020 has been chock full of shocks to our American system, sales of guns and ammunition have continually blown away previous records. I have a friend who jokes that he constantly kicks himself for not having stocked up on 9mm ammunition earlier in the year (in the beforetimes, pre-corona), because it was at 11
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is finalizing a new recommendation about the length of time for quarantines after a person is exposed to the coronavirus. Scientists now believe that a full 14 days may not be needed after all. This announcement will be cold comfort for all of the people who took the
If we’ve learned one thing about the democrats in recent years, it’s that whatever sort of underhanded, unethical strong-arm tactics they are engaging in, they will turn around and just accuse the other side of doing it worse. Adding to the piles of examples is New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, who, astonishingly, is calling law
The First Thanksgiving at Plymouth, 1914, by Jennie A. Brownscombe (Public domain/via Wikimedia) It’s a mistake to read future conflict back into the 1621 feast, a moment of comity and hopefulness. We live in a time of heedless iconoclasm, and so one of the country’s oldest traditions is under assault. Thanksgiving is increasingly portrayed as,
This Thanksgiving is shaping up to be one that will be beyond belief for many and unlike any other in history. In the last two weeks leading up to Thanksgiving 2020, governors have declared draconian orders, implemented curfews, called for mandatory 14-day quarantines for people traveling to certain states, and the prohibition of all social
Being thankful for a dumpster fire seems like a weird thing. And if I’m being honest, I don’t suppose it’s the actual shinola of 2020 that I’m thankful for. It’s what that shinola provided. Think of all the things that have been stripped away during the coronavirus pandemic. We’ve missed out on hometown sports and
On Sunday, The Washington Post broke out their list of the 50 most notable nonfiction books of 2020. As usual, the Post makes it a bit of a fringe benefit to list books written by their own staff, and this year, it’s quite obvious most of them were judged “Notable” for trashing Donald Trump, who allegedly
There are our betters who ignore the COVID rules and then there are the rest of us. We’re the people like the Georgia shopper in the tweet below who got hassled at Costco because his son wasn’t wearing a mask. To be clear, the Costco member was wearing a mask but grew upset when store
President Barack Obama gestures during his first news conference as president in the East Room of the White House, February 9, 2009. (Jim Bourg/Reuters) Former President Obama claimed on Wednesday that evangelical Latino voters chose President Trump over Joe Biden because Trump backs their views on abortion and gay marriage. While Trump lost the 2020
As promised, Sidney Powell released the Kraken — two of them, actually, although the two are essentially twins. Powell made her election-fraud lawsuits against Georgia and Michigan available through her website, although only the document of the Michigan suit has the markings of a court filing. Whatever criticisms may follow, at least these have the
A customer shops for a turkey at a Walmart store in Los Angeles in 2013. (Kevork Djansezian/Reuters) It’s not as bad as you might think. The cost of living in the United States is an increasingly salient topic in public-policy circles today. As Mark J. Perry from the American Enterprise Institute documents, child care, education,
We can all see it now. The official narrative of the Democrats, Big Media and Big Tech is cracking. Sidney Powell released the Kraken and now the Democrats’ dishonest narrative is crackin’. Dilbert creator and realist, Scott Adams, sees the obvious before others do. Yesterday he watched the hearings in Pennsylvania where Rudy Giuliani destroyed
President Donald Trump pauses as he addresses a re-election campaign rally in Tulsa, Okla., June 20, 2020. (Leah Millis/Reuters) Will he follow the example of Andrew Jackson, who went on to victory, or sore loser Hillary Clinton? Donald Trump is nearing a crossroads. Those who allege that he has endangered the tradition of smooth
First of all, thank you for coming to my free market Ted Talk, and I’d like to acknowledge that you here reading this sentence are among the blessed few who actually read an article instead of simply react to the headline. So now, let’s talk about the free market. It really should be four words,
You know those people on social media who come across as so braggadocious? I’m sure many don’t mean to be, and I’ve probably been guilty of it myself. But that’s what I want to avoid as I sit down to write about what I’m thankful for in 2020. When COVID-19 hit the U.S. earlier this
Assuming you are allowed to meet up with your family for even the smallest of get-togethers this Thanksgiving (CNN doesn’t want you to), the media want you to use that day of giving thanks to instead lecture your conservative Donald Trump-supporting family members about America’s atrocities. Over the years the MRC has tracked liberal journalists’
Barack Obama appeared on “The Breakfast Club” podcast on Wednesday, during which he made the most bizarre attack on Hispanic voters. “There’s a lot of evangelical Hispanics who, the fact that Trump says racist things about Mexicans, or puts undocumented workers in cages, they think that’s less important than the fact that he supports their
Hollywood knows two registers when it comes to the white working class (WWC): sentimentalizing and condescending. WWCs are either cute, neighborly, and folksy, or they constitute a tawdry, alien life form. There are 130 million WWCs in our country, and yet nobody in Hollywood has the slightest grasp of them. With … Read More
A person fills out a ballot in a privacy booth at a polling station during early voting in New York, N.Y., October 25, 2020. (Andrew Kelly/Reuters) All mandatory voting advocates are doing is further degrading the importance of elections and incentivizing more demagoguery. After the 2016 presidential election, I wrote an exceptionally unpopular op-ed for
(Natural News) Many on the left are busy making their lists and checking them twice – not Christmas lists, mind you, but hit lists against Trump supporters once the president vacates the White House in January (or so they think). Hollywood has-been Robert De Niro is one such leftist who made a thinly veiled threat

Happy Thanksgiving! Normally, I try to find a presidential message that captures the essence of Thanksgiving, either in terms of faith or in terms of public virtue. However, this year has had so many challenges and so much stress that the usual reflections on gratitude and grace simply don’t seem to fit. Many families that
The First Thanksgiving at Plymouth, by Jennie A. Brownscombe (1914) (Wikimedia Commons) 2020—Happy Thanksgiving! Be grateful that the secular activists in the judiciary weren’t dominant when George Washington was president, or we’d never have this great, and deeply religious, American feast. In the words of Washington: Whereas it is the duty of all nations to
