The first Thanksgiving in the New World was celebrated in 1621, nearly a year after the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth in the Massachusetts Bay Colony.
In 1789, George Washington became the first of many US presidents to formally proclaim a day of “public thanksgiving and prayer”:
I do recommend and assign Thursday, the 26th day of November next, to be devoted by the people of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being who is the beneficent author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be; that we may then all unite in rendering unto Him -
The crazed gunman who shot two National Guard troops in a possible terror attack near the White House Wednesday has been identified as a 29-year-old Afghan national who came to the US during the chaotic 2021 Afghanistan withdrawal, law enforcement sources told The Post. Rahmanullah Lakanwal was allegedly lying in wait before he rounded the corner near the Farragut West Metro Station in Northwest DC around 2:15 p.m., then opened fire, striking a female guard in the chest before shooting her in the head, according to law enforcement sources.

Illegal Alien Accused of Kidnapping, Domestic Violence replies
A group of House Democrats met with a previously deported illegal alien – accused of kidnapping and domestic violence – at a detention facility in San Diego, California.
According to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials, Reps. Juan Vargas (D-CA), Mike Levin (D-CA), Sara Jacobs (D-CA), and Scott Peters (D-CA) visited the agency’s San Diego Field Office on November 24 and requested to speak to Dennis Mauricio Rojas-Molina — a previously deported illegal alien from Honduras.
Rojas-Molina, ICE officials reveal, was arrested by the San Diego Sheriff’s Office in May of this year on kidnapping and battery of a spouse charges.
A pair of brothers, one of whom is an assistant principal at a Virginia high school, are accused of plotting to murder Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials reveal.
On November 19, law enforcement officers arrested John Wilson Bennett and Mark Booth Bennett, both American citizens, and charged the brothers with conspiracy to commit malicious wounding.
According to DHS officials, the Virginia Beach Police Department launched an investigation into the Bennett brothers on November 17 after an off-duty officer in Norfolk, Virginia, overheard them discussing plans to allegedly “kill police officers and ICE agents.”
California has long been a “fuel island” — a state whose gasoline and diesel markets are isolated from the rest of the country — but that could soon end under a proposed plan to build the first-ever pipeline to bring refined products directly to the West Coast. Known as the Western Gateway Pipeline, the project from oil major Phillips 66 and global pipeline giant Kinder Morgan would deliver gasoline, diesel and jet fuel to Arizona and California from as far east as Missouri by 2029. The companies are currently scoping out demand and seeking commitments from customers in what is known as an “open season.”
Two uniformed military personnel, appearing to be National Guardsmen, have been shot in downtown Washington just blocks from the White House, according to two sources familiar with the ongoing situation.

"Please avoid the area as MPD and our partners work to secure the scene," the MPD wrote on X.

In an equally predictable development, Democrats screamed at Republicans for allegedly doing what Democrats actively perpetrate. This is psychological projection: pinning one’s flaws on others.
Classic example: A morbidly obese man wolfs down his third after-dinner milkshake and screams at a physical trainer nibbling a salad: “Put down the fork, you cow!”
California gubernatorial candidate and Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell claimed that members of the military are telling him that they can be a "check" on President Donald Trump. On Don Lemon's show Monday, Swalwell discussed the controversy over a video of six Democratic lawmakers urging service members to "refuse illegal orders" from Trump. The Department of War later announced on X that it launched a formal review into allegations of misconduct against Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly, a retired Navy captain, for appearing in the video?
Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon, who heads up the DOJ's Civil Rights Division, has already taken an active role in challenging infringements on our Second Amendment rights, but the Division looks to be expanding its 2A footprint even further. According to a report by Reuters, the Civil Rights Division is opening up a new office that's dedicated exclusively to defending our right to keep and bear arms from government intrusion. The office, called the Second Amendment Rights Section, expects to open on December 4 and will be dedicated to investigating local laws or policies limiting gun rights.

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has rolled out a nationwide hotline for reporting criminal activity in federally funded housing, reinforcing an ongoing federal crackdown on violence, fraud, and unlawful residency in taxpayer-supported communities. On Monday, November 24, Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary Scott Turner unveiled a national crime tip hotline designed to enhance public safety in HUD-funded housing developments. The initiative is intended to combat criminal activity such as gang operations, drug trafficking, human trafficking, and occupancy by ineligible individuals, including sex offenders and those residing in the United States unlawfully. The hotline — 1-800-347-3735 — will provide a direct channel for residents to report

As families across the U.S. gather on Thanksgiving to celebrate one of the nation’s most cherished national holidays, some educators and schools are lamenting the day, pushing back on its "colonial" roots, and incorporating diversity, equality and inclusion DEI into the holiday. At the University of California, Davis, the California History-Social Science Project, which describes itself as "Resources & professional learning for K-12 history-social science," hosted a Zoom event called "Decolonizing Thanksgiving in the Classroom."
One of the young women convicted in the infamous “Slender Man” stabbing of her classmate in 2014 is back in the news after being apprehended by police in Wisconsin.
Morgan Geyser was 12 when she and her friend Anissa Weier took another girl, Payton Leutner, into the woods in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and tried to kill her to please “Slender Man,” a fictional character that became popular online.
After pleading guilty to first-degree intentional homicide, the Post Millennial reports she explained her actions through mental illness.
In January, The Mirror reported that Geyser was granted a conditional release from Winnebago Mental Health Institute, where she had been kept since the crime.
Former MSNBC host Joy Reid wondered on the "I’ve Had It" podcast whether Vice President JD Vance is planning to find a new wife to appeal to the MAGA base because she's Indian American. Reid speculated that Vance might not be the 2028 heir apparent to President Donald Trump because MAGA supporters wouldn't accept someone like Usha Vance as first lady. "They can't have the successor to MAGA be the guy with the Brown Hindu wife," she said of Vance. "They're also Christian nationalists. That ain't going to work. That's why he's throwing his wife under the bus. Poor Usha.
For those of you upset that Florida Democratic Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick allegedly used your taxpayer money to win herself an election, please note that she didn’t just use it for that.
Instead, of the $5 million overpayment of COVID-era disaster relief to a healthcare company controlled by her family didn’t merely win her the seat of the late Alcee Hastings. No, that was only $1.14 million of it. And even some of that went to purchasing a 3.14-carat yellow diamond ring.
On Tuesday, as the Miami Herald reported, Cherfilus-McCormick appeared in a Miami courtroom to surrender to the court regarding the 15-count indictment against her. She’s charged with — deep breath —

Forget the Hollywood sign — the newest landmark in Tinseltown is a $10 billion pile of dirt that’s about to become one of the most exclusive addresses on the planet.
The massive One Beverly Hills project has officially gotten off the ground, promising to turn a 17.5-acre slice of prime real estate into an “urban resort” so opulent that it’ll make Rodeo Drive look cheap. Over the weekend, 3,800 cubic yards of concrete were continuously poured, marking the foundation for the tallest towers in Beverly Hills.
With a jaw-dropping $10 billion valuation, this isn’t just another condo complex; it’s a fortress of solitude for the super-rich.

On Nov. 17, the Palestinian flag was raised for the first time in front of Toronto’s city hall. There had been a great deal of protest from Jewish activists in anticipation of this event, but to no avail. Toronto’s mayor, Olivia Chow, is a prominent member of the New Democratic Party (NDP), Canada’s equivalent of America’s Democratic Socialists, and one might say she is Mamdani lite. Unlike New York’s mayor-elect, she has no charisma and no charm, but she’s a dyed-in-the-wool leftist with similar principles. In response to a letter-writing campaign, she explained that the decision had been made by “staff” according to the rules treating all “nationalities” the same.

The death of William F. Buckley, Jr. on February 27, 2008, deprived the modern American conservative movement of its founder, for Buckley was preeminently the founding statesman of the movement that gained its political expression first in Barry Goldwater and then Ronald Reagan. When Buckley founded National Review in 1955 at the age of 29, he lit the fire that sparked the movement. Yesterday was the centennial anniversary of his birth.
Buckley had already achieved notoriety–if not celebrity–with the publication of God and Man at Yale in 1951. He attacked the undergraduate education on offer at Yale for its hostility to Christianity and its adulation of collectivism. He sought to dispel
Overseas visitors to 11 of America’s most popular national parks will need to pay an extra $100 per person to get in starting Jan. 1, the Interior Department announced Tuesday in a bid to make up for lost income from the recent government shutdown, as well as severe budget cuts.
Foreigners also will be left out of eight so-called “fee-free days” that correspond to patriotic holidays — including President’s Day, Memorial Day, Flag Day, July 4 weekend, and Veteran’s Day.
As part of the changes, foreign tourists will also see their annual parks pass price jump to $250, while US residents will continue to be charged $80. The $100 surcharge will be
