Remember Thanksgiving’s Christian roots
Posted By: OhioNick, 11/28/2024 1:04:34 PM
When sitting down at the dinner table this Thanksgiving, soak in the scents of hot gravy, the sight of dear friends and family, and the cinnamon goodness of a nice pumpkin pie slice. Be appreciative of all that surrounds you, the visible and, especially, the invisible. Much like Christmas, the reason for the season is the spirit of Christ and his sacrifices for us. Yet, as America and its families become more secular, Thanksgiving’s Christian origins have been less prominent and forgotten.

When sitting down at the dinner table this Thanksgiving, soak in the scents of hot gravy, the sight of dear friends and family, and the cinnamon goodness of a nice pumpkin pie slice. Be appreciative of all that surrounds you, the visible and, especially, the invisible.
Much like Christmas, the reason for the season is the spirit of Christ and his sacrifices for us. Yet, as America and its families become more secular, Thanksgiving’s Christian origins have been less prominent and forgotten.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) will be forced to open its books and reveal its sources of funding after a defamation suit it filed against a former employee completely backfired.
US Magistrate Judge David Schultz ruled Monday that CAIR’s donors, funding sources — potentially including foreign ones — and any assets owned by the group are all within the “scope of permissible discovery” as part of former chapter leader Lori Saroya’s lawsuit against the controversial Muslim rights group.
Saroya filed a federal defamation complaint against CAIR in January after the group dropped its own lawsuit against the former employee.
The Muslim schoolgirl who accused her teacher of Islamophobia and began rumours that led to a jihadist decapitating him in the street in France has admitted lying and apologised to the victim's family in a remarkable court hearing today.
History and geography Samuel Paty was murdered on October 16, 2020 by Abdoullakh Anzorov, an 18-year-old Islamist radical of Chechen origin.
Anzorov tracked down 47-year-old Paty and brutally hacked his head off after seeing pictures and videos of him circulated on social media as part of a ruthless campaign of harassment.
Outgoing President Joe Biden’s Justice Department moved on election night on Nov. 5 to essentially ensure the cover-up of a potentially massive green energy scandal, Breitbart News has learned exclusively.
This story has tentacles back through, not just the Biden administration, but all the way back to the Obama administration, and it could be something that jeopardizes the broader green energy agenda and the future of leftist solar projects on federal lands. At least one congresswoman is already formally pressing the DOJ for answers.
Chuck Woolery, the smooth-talking game show host of “Wheel of Fortune,” “Love Connection” and “Scrabble” amongst others who later became a popular right-wing political podcaster, has died. He was 83.
Born in Ashland, Kentucky, on March 6, 1941, Woolery would go on to serve two years in the U.S. Navy aboard the USS Enterprise before seeking a career in his first true love – entertainment.
Donald Trump-supporting Woolery may have enjoyed a renaissance skewering liberals and their hypocrisy while accusing the government of lying about coronavirus but his iconic name was very much a part of television game show hosting.
A-List actor Denzel Washington says he knows it isn’t “fashionable” to talk about or even be religious in Hollywood. But he also says he has come to a place in his life where he simply does not care what anyone thinks about his open expressions of faith. [SNIP] he was well into his adulthood at that point, and he had never really cultivated a solid religious belief despite having grown up in the church with his family. But when he got to West Angeles, he had a spiritual awakening that changed his life.
Pope Francis recently implied that Israel was committing “genocide” in its campaign against Hamas. While the pope was eager to apply the term to Muslims terrorists dying in the war, he has been reluctant to apply it to Christians being massacred by Muslims in the Middle East.
Over 50,000 Christians were massacred by Muslims in Nigeria. Dozens of churches were attacked, some on Christmas, without the pope ever condemning this as genocide. [SNIP] “I want to say clearly that I do not like it when people speak of a ‘genocide of Christians,’ for example in the Middle East,” Pope Francis argued, and claimed that he preferred the term “martyrdom.”
What does “resistance” look like?
When Denver isn’t busing illegal aliens to New York and Chicago, its mayor is trying to act like enforcing American immigration law and deporting illegal aliens is Tiananmen Square all over again.
The mayor also takes heart that the people of Denver — not just the administration — would likely resist a mass deportation effort from federal forces.
“More than us having DPD stationed at the county line to keep them out, you would have 50,000 Denverites there,” Johnston said. “It’s like the Tiananmen Square moment with the rose and the gun, right?”

commitment to DEI resurface after 'woke' rebrand 24 replies
Recent comments from a head marketing director at Jaguar are now drawing attention after the brand launched a polarizing rebrand of the luxury car company this week. [SNIP] "We're on a transformative journey of our own. Driven by a belief in diversity, inclusion, creativity, policy and, most importantly, action. We've established over 15 DEI groups such as Pride, which are here tonight, and Women in Engineering and Neurodiversity Matters," Pietrosanti said.
"We've launched major policy revisions such as transitioning at work to drive equity and support for our communities, embracing individuality as our superpower," he continued.
A Naval Academy graduate has been charged with a hate crime after he was allegedly seen on camera ripping down a pride flag outside of an Annapolis, Maryland tattoo shop.
According to charging documents, the co-owner of the Dapper Dog Tattoo Shop, Charlie Garrett, contacted police on Nov. 15 to report that the store had been vandalized. Garrett told police that closed-circuit security camera footage had captured a man tearing down a pride flag with the phrase "ABIDE NO HATRED" emblazoned on it from the storefront at around 1 a.m. that day and placing it in a nearby trash can.
Congresswoman Nancy Mace fired off a brutal response when asked why she does not want the first trans member of Congress to use women's restrooms. [SNIP] Mace, R-S.C., added: 'I'm a victim of abuse myself. I'm a rape survivor. I have PTSD from the abuse I've suffered at the hands of a man, and I know how vulnerable women and girls are in private spaces.
'So I'm absolutely, 100 percent going to stand in the way of any man who wants to be in a women's restroom, in our locker rooms, [or] in our changing rooms.'

Students at a Philadelphia school are eating lunch at 9am because the district is so crowded with immigrants that canteen dining slots have been staggered throughout the day.
Youngsters at Lincoln High School also lug their backpacks around all day, because there are not enough lockers to go around in a school that this now 1,000 kids above capacity.
Officials have added makeshift divisions to increase the number of available classrooms, but teachers say the new walls are too thin to stop noise and have fallen down during lessons.

Speculation has run rampant about whether Hillary Clinton may run for president in 2028 after a speaking event was announced in coming weeks.
Both Bill and Hillary Clinton are scheduled to speak in the coming weeks at the 20th anniversary of the Clinton Presidential Center in Little Rock, Arkansas - which includes the William J. Clinton Presidential Library and Museum.
The event, planned for the afternoon on December 7, will include remarks from the powerful couple regarding their past political and philanthropic work. 'The Clintons will share reflections on the noble and important work of public service – from securing peace, prosperity, and progress during the Clinton administration
John Kerry, who served as President Joe Biden’s Special Presidential Envoy for Climate up until March of this year, said late last week that a climate emergency needed to be declared.
Kerry made the remarks on Thursday at a recent John F. Kennedy Jr. Forum as the 29th United Nations climate change conference (COP29) concluded.
“I think, personally, we’re on the brink of needing to declare a climate emergency, which is what we really have,” Kerry said. “And we need to get people to behave as if this really is a major transitional challenge to the whole planet, to everybody.”
There's nothing I love better than someone, who gets paid millions of dollars to play pretend, claiming I'm an idiot, but it happens more often than you might think, especially when a Republican wins an election. And I especially love it when they go overseas and talk trash about the United States, as if they're somehow above it all, even though if it wasn't for this country, they wouldn't have the money, fame, and privilege they've earned thanks to the willingness of American citizens to pay for their art.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum quickly poured cold water on Donald Trump's claim he secured the 'immediate' end of migrants crossing the southern border - insisting instead that her country will 'not close borders.'
Sheinbaum contradicted the president-elect just hours after he announced on Truth Social the two world leaders had a 'wonderful' conversation that resulted in 'effectively closing our Southern Border.'
She countered: 'In our conversation with President Trump, I explained to him the comprehensive strategy that Mexico has followed to address the migration phenomenon, respecting human rights.
Remarkable footage shows Wisconsin women screaming in unison towards Lake Michigan in the wake of Vice President Harris's Nov. 5 loss to President-elect Trump.
The footage, which recently went viral on social media, was originally posted by a Facebook user named Tamara Gibbs. The event took place at Klode Park in Whitefish Bay on Nov. 9.
The extraordinary video shows around two dozen adult women screeching at the water. The screams eventually reach a crescendo, as video shows the shrieks getting gradually louder and louder until the group stopped.
"What a gorgeous morning to gather at Klode Park in Whitefish Bay to engage in a Primal Scream in order to release our pain
President Joe Biden's administration is urging Ukraine to quickly increase the size of its military by drafting more troops and revamping its mobilization laws to allow for the conscription of those as young as 18.
A senior Biden administration official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the private consultations, said Wednesday that the outgoing Democratic administration wants Ukraine to lower the mobilization age to 18 from the current age of 25 to expand the pool of fighting-age men available to help a badly outnumbered Ukraine in its nearly three-year-old war with Russia.
Democratic National Committee National Finance Committee member Lindy Li said Tuesday that Vice President Kamala Harris did not take “responsibility” for her campaign spending billions of dollars during a donor call. The Harris campaign and the Democratic Party reportedly spent almost $1.5 billion during her short presidential run, which she launched on July 21. Li, on “NewsNation Now,” said she was shocked by the lack of accountability for the spending and loss, noting the call seemed “self-congratulatory.”

The Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) sent out a memo, exclusively obtained by The Daily Wire, warning against the “colonial settler mythological” presentation of Thanksgiving and urging staff members to instead reflect on the plight of Native Americans and celebrate “Truthsgiving.”
The statement, sent out today and written by the director of the DHS Office of Indian Policy Angie DeLille, encourages staff to reconsider their usual Thanksgiving celebration and allocate money to “indigenous-owned businesses.”
“As we approach this holiday, it’s an important time to reflect on the historical truths surrounding this holiday, particularly the impact it has had on Tribal and urban American Indian communities in Minnesota,”
A deflated-looking Vice President Kamala Harris reemerged on Tuesday, filming a quick video message for her supporters that was posted on the X account for the Democratic Party.
'I just have to remind you, don't you ever let anybody take your power from you. You have the same power that you did before November 5th,' she said, referencing the date of the presidential election that she lost to President-elect Donald Trump.
In the past three weeks, Trump has gotten his transition going by naming a flurry of Cabinet appointees.
An Ontario town has been fined $10,000 and its officials ordered to complete mandatory “human rights” training after it refused to celebrate Pride Month. Emo is a township of about 1,300 people located in the far west of Ontario, along the border with Minnesota. In a decision handed down last week, the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario ruled that Emo, its mayor and two of its councillors had violated the Ontario Human Rights Code by refusing to proclaim June as “Pride Month.” The town was also cited for failing to fly “an LGBTQ2 rainbow flag,” despite the fact that they don’t have an official flag pole.
VP Kamala Harris’s campaign senior adviser, David Plouffe, admitted their internal polling never reflected the public polls. (snip) Plouffe said the campaign’s internal polling never had Harris ahead of Trump.
“We didn’t get the breaks we needed on Election Day,” he said. “I think it surprised people, because there was these public polls that came out in late September, early October, showing us with leads that we never saw.”
Ever since Vice President Kamala Harris picked Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) as her running mate in early August, it was considered something of an odd choice. For one, it had seemed as if she was going to pick Gov. Josh Shapiro (D-PA), though he reportedly botched his interview and didn't want to be number two, plus the Democratic Party has plenty of antisemitism to contend with. On Tuesday night, Chris Cillizza put out a lengthy thread on why Walz wasn't the right pick, which became a trending topic over X.
