An Unusual Thanksgiving

Normally on Thanksgiving, I would not be at home here in Maryland but would be in Virginia visiting family members and attending a large gathering.  This year, with the coronavirus still spreading, my siblings decided against hosting any Thanksgiving dinner other than with their immediate families, so driving down there made no sense.  This means that I have to roast a turkey myself.  If successful, I'll be eating leftovers from the bird for several days.

Under normal circumstances, I would take a day off from linking a bunch of articles for your reading pleasure, but today I can't help but list a few, mostly related to the holiday itself.  With that, here are a few things going on:

From National Review, Thanksgiving is not based on a lie or on genocide against Native Americans.

From FrontpageMag, the roots of Thanksgiving go farther back than the Pilgrims.

From Townhall, tell the turkey fascists to chew on a drumstick.

From The Washington Free Beacon, the Supreme Court finds against New York Governor Andrew Cuomo's (D) limits on synagogues and churches.

From the Washington Examiner, Abraham Lincoln's Thanksgiving proclamation.

From The Federalist, President Grover Cleveland's Thanksgiving proclamation.

From American Thinker, they came for Thanksgiving and are now coming for Christmas.

From LifeZette, Americans should be thankful for President Trump and for Mrs. Trump, too.

From NewsBusters, why do journalists hate Thanksgiving so much?

From Canada Free Press, the U.S. might again be saved at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.

From The Conservative Woman, while British authors are condemned for past sins, Karl Marx gets a pass.

From Free West Media, more about what's going on in Gettysburg.

From Jagran, it's being 12 years since the terror attacks in Mumbai, India.

From Rûdaw, an Iraqi activist is shot after criticizing a militia group on social media.

From The Stream, "thank God for your life, even if it sucks".

From The American Conservative, one family has a "rebel Thanksgiving".

From Fox News, the TSA reports screening the largest number of passengers yesterday since the coronavirus pandemic began.

From the Daily Caller, Disney plans to lay off 32,000 workers as the coronavirus keeps visitors away from its theme parks.
