America’s Future Depends on Thanksgiving

Plus: Finding Common Ground With Liberals at Thanksgiving

Nov 28, 2019   Happy Thanksgiving from Washington, where we're taking the day off to ponder all our blessings and give thanks for them. We've put together some offerings on that theme for your reflection and enjoyment. We hope most of you are able to share the day with loved ones. We remain thankful for our freedoms as one nation under God, and for those whose duty requires them to be at their posts today. Last but not least, we're thankful for you, The Daily Signal's loyal audience. We'll be back tomorrow. Now please pass the pie.     Commentary America's Future Depends on Thanksgiving By Jarrett Stepman Thanksgiving is a much bigger target than Columbus Day, because it is more deeply ingrained in our culture but also because the spirit of the holiday runs counter to the left's narrative of grievance, oppression, and outrage.
