At a Cabinet meeting Tuesday, Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins delivered a sweeping update on the nation’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), revealing what she called “rampant fraud” and announcing a dramatic escalation in the administration’s effort to force state compliance with federal oversight.
Rollins said that under the president’s tenure, “about 800,000” Americans have already moved off SNAP, a program serving 42 million people, and she argued the trend underscores the need to restore integrity to a system she said has been “abused for far too long.”
Rollins detailed new findings from the department’s data-matching initiative — an effort she said was repeatedly obstructed by blue states. “We found 500,000 people receiving benefits more than twice,” she said. “We had a couple of people receiving benefits in six states.” She noted that in February, USDA asked all 50 states to submit their SNAP recipient data so the federal government could help identify fraud. Twenty-one states, including California, New York, and Minnesota, refused. As a result, Rollins announced the administration will withhold federal funds from those states beginning next week unless they provide the data and “allow us to partner with them to protect the American taxpayer.”
The secretary also contrasted the current crackdown with the previous administration, stating that President Biden — “working to buy [the] election a year ago,” in her words — expanded the food-stamp budget by 40 percent.

The confrontation over state cooperation intensified in mid-November when Rollins <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/dead-men-dining-trump-admin-uncovers-astonishing-number-of-deceased-people-getting-snap-benefits?utm_source=chatgpt.com">disclosed</a> an alarming figure: 186,000 deceased individuals were receiving SNAP benefits, a number she said far exceeded the initial estimate of 5,000 in a single month. Rollins explained that on her first day in office, she asked states to share basic personal data for all SNAP recipients — names, birth dates, Social Security numbers, addresses — asserting the information was needed both to identify fraud and to ensure benefits were not going to illegal immigrants. She claimed Democrats opposed data-sharing because, in her view, their political strategy “depends on protecting illegal aliens.”
According to Rollins, 29 mostly red states complied, and the fraud numbers identified so far come only from those data sets. “Can you imagine when we get our hands on the blue-state data?” she said. She argued that full transparency will enable USDA to rebuild the program from the ground up, require every recipient to reapply, and make certain SNAP is reserved for Americans who “literally cannot survive without it.”

Scientists may have <a href="https://www.space.com/astronomy/black-holes/have-gravitational-waves-provided-the-first-hint-of-primordial-black-holes-born-during-the-big-bang">detected</a> the first tantalizing hint of primordial black holes, which are thought to have formed in the initial moments after the Big Bang.
The excitement centers on a cosmic gravitational-wave signal recorded on November 12, 2025, when the LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA (LVK) network issued an automated alert for an unusual event. Unlike the hundreds of black hole and neutron-star mergers routinely observed since 2015, this signal appeared to involve at least one object far too light to be any known stellar remnant.
Ordinary black holes form when massive stars collapse, and neutron stars also arise from stellar cores; both types of objects have masses roughly equal to or greater than the Sun. The November 12 signal instead pointed to a sub-solar-mass compact object, something astrophysics cannot easily explain.
This has led to speculation that the lighter component might be a primordial black hole, a long-theorized relic born directly from density fluctuations in the ultra-hot plasma of the early universe — long before stars existed. These exotic objects could span a huge mass range: from far lighter than a paperclip to hundreds of thousands of solar masses.
If they exist, primordial black holes could influence cosmic evolution and even account for dark matter, the mysterious invisible substance that makes up most of the universe’s mass but does not interact with light.
The scientific reaction, however, remains cautious. LIGO member Christopher Berry <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-15344573/Scientists-primordial-black-holes-big-bang.html">highlighted</a> the event as a potential subsolar source but emphasized the possibility of a false alarm. For an event this unusual, the estimated false-alarm rate — about once every four years — is too high to claim a discovery. Noise artifacts often mimic faint or atypical gravitational-wave signals. Researchers are searching for any accompanying electromagnetic flash, but the localization region spans an enormous patch of sky, making such follow-up nearly impossible.
Even so, the possibility is captivating because primordial black holes have never been observed despite decades of theoretical work. Some could have evaporated through Hawking radiation early in cosmic history, while larger ones might survive today. A merger between two such objects would produce exactly the kind of signal LIGO and Virgo detected. Yet without additional events, scientists may never be certain whether S251112cm was real or merely a glitch.
Experts say the best path forward is to wait for more detections — something future upgrades to LIGO, Virgo, and KAGRA are expected to enable. If similar signals appear, they could provide the first direct evidence for primordial black holes and offer crucial clues to the nature of dark matter.

In a move that drew near-uniform support on the House floor, lawmakers on Monday advanced a blunt, unambiguous message: those who took part in the Hamas-led October 7 atrocities in Israel will not set foot in the United States. The “No Immigration Benefits for Hamas Terrorists Act of 2025,” introduced by Rep. Tom McClintock (R-CA), <a href="https://www.jns.org/house-passes-bill-to-bar-deport-oct-7-perpetrators/">sailed through the House</a> by voice vote—without objection—underscoring just how little patience remains in Washington for loopholes that allow terrorists to slip through America’s immigration system.
McClintock’s bill takes direct aim at anyone who “carried out, participated in, planned, financed, afforded material support to or otherwise facilitated” the brutal rampage Hamas launched on October 7, 2023, a massacre that left more than 1,200 Israelis—children, infants, seniors—slaughtered for the crime of being Jewish. The bill explicitly includes members of Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and it arrives with 18 Republican co-sponsors, including Reps. Joe Wilson (R-SC), Claudia Tenney (R-NY), and Ann Wagner (R-MO).
Democrats signaled support but quibbled with the method. Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) insisted that members of Foreign Terrorist Organizations are already barred from entering the United States, and argued that Congress has historically avoided naming specific attacks in the Immigration and Nationality Act—even after 9/11. McClintock countered that there is precedent, pointing to the Nazi Party and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), whose members are explicitly blocked under American law. “Does anyone seriously argue that we should repeal the sanctions against persons who aided and abetted the Nazis’ Holocaust?” he asked. “If not, why oppose extending the same sanctions to the Nazis’ would-be modern-day successors?”

The timing of the bill’s passage wasn’t accidental. It comes on the heels of the shocking <a href="https://x.com/EFischberger/status/1979143145632772553?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">arrest</a> of Mahmoud Amin Ya’qub al-Muhtadi, a Gaza-born operative accused of helping coordinate the October 7 attacks, then waltzing into the United States on a fraudulent visa. According to federal prosecutors, al-Muhtadi organized fighters in Gaza, moved behind the first wave of terrorists entering Israel, and sent messages instructing attackers to “bring the rifles” and “get ready.” His phone even <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/17/us/fbi-hamas-attack-louisiana.html?unlocked_article_code=1.uE8.zTMe.8-olRlhIWLLf&amp;smid=nytcore-ios-share&amp;referringSource=articleShare">pinged</a> an Israeli cell tower on the morning of the assault. Yet he made it into the Dallas-Fort Worth Airport in 2024 and was later found working at a restaurant in Lafayette, Louisiana.
For McClintock and his allies, that case alone is all the justification America needs. The bill now moves to the Senate—where an earlier version languished—and House Republicans are making clear they won’t accept another failure to act.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt embarrassed the New York Times on Monday after it published a story questioning President Trump’s health and fitness for the job.
A reporter asked, “The White House today launched a fake news portal. What is your objective with that, ultimately, and are you going to name the news networks, and are you also going to name correspondents?”
“Yes, we are,” Leavitt answered. “I’m glad you noticed. Much to the dismay of some of your colleagues in the room, and I think it goes to our original promise on day one to hold the media accountable, because unfortunately, and we deal with this all day, every day around here, there are so many fake stories that are unfortunately written that have inaccurate characterizations of meetings that took place, and it&#8217;s all based on anonymous sourcing.”
“The standard for journalism unfortunately has dropped to such a historic low in this country, and again, we deal with it every day, where you can have an anonymous source who has no idea of what they’re talking about, zero credibility, call up a reporter in Washington and say, ‘Hey, I heard this,’ and the next thing you know, it&#8217;s on the front page of The New York Times,” she continued.
She then took the opportunity to lacerate the Times, saying, “I will point out one fake news story over the weekend before I let you all go, from The New York Times, that took about one-third of the president’s daily calendar and his daily schedule and said that he’s doing less than he did in his first term, or he may not be fit for the job.”

Holding up a copy of the Times article, she asserted, “That is unequivocally false, and it’s deeply unfortunate that the story was written by the same outlet and the same reporter who wrote this: Biden is ‘Doing 100% Fine’ After Tripping While Boarding Air Force One.”
“Oh!” she exclaimed in mock horror. “Same outlet, same reporter who wrote that President Trump is not fit for the job. Are you kidding me? You all see him almost every single day. He is the most accessible president in history. He is taking meetings around the clock.”
“Another one: Biden Declared ‘Healthy’ and ‘Vigorous&#8217; After His First Presidential Physical,” she pointed out, holding up the second article.
“Hmm,” she mused. “I don’t see headlines too often about this president. Again: same reporter, same outlet who wrote falsely over the weekend that President Trump is not fit for the job.”

In the debate ignited by the Washington Post’s <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2025/11/28/hegseth-kill-them-all-survivors-boat-strike/">explosive report</a> — alleging that War Secretary Pete Hegseth issued an order to “kill everybody” aboard a suspected narco-trafficking boat, followed by a second strike to finish off two survivors — one might have expected the sharpest legal retort to come from senior uniformed lawyers, identifiable experts willing to put their names behind their accusations. Instead, what arrived was an <a href="https://x.com/rgoodlaw/status/1994859617688719833">anonymous broadside</a> from a self-styled “Former JAGs Working Group,” declaring that if the Post’s account is true, war crimes and murder had been committed from the top down.
But in stepped Dr. Brian Cox — former Army judge advocate, Cornell law professor, and one of the most meticulous Law of Armed Conflict (LOAC) analysts in the field — to say, in essence: not only is the anonymous JAG letter unconvincing, it’s built on fundamental misstatements of the law, misreadings of the facts, and a dangerously destabilizing narrative about “unlawful orders” that fractures trust within the force.
Cox starts with what he calls the decisive flaw: the anonymous letter never once mentions the linchpin concept of the Law of Armed Conflict  — the term “military objective.” According to Cox, the entire framework of the letter assumes the boat was “destroyed” in the initial strike and that the survivors were, therefore, shipwrecked civilians rendered hors de combat. But the Washington Post report — itself based on unnamed sources — doesn’t claim the vessel was destroyed. It was disabled. And if a disabled vessel can still be used to call reinforcements and continue its mission, Cox emphasizes, it remains a valid military objective and is fully targetable under the laws of war. The anonymous JAG letter, in his telling, builds its moral-legal outrage on a factual premise the article never actually provides.
From this mischaracterization, Cox argues, the letter leaps to the fake-certain conclusion that a follow-up strike amounts to murder or a war crime. But to make that accusation, one must apply the full proportionality test of LOAC — weighing expected incidental harm to persons on a military objective against the concrete military advantage of neutralizing that objective. The letter doesn’t touch this. Doesn’t mention it. Doesn’t even gesture at the term. In Cox’s reading, it simply assumes its conclusion and works backward.
Then comes what Cox calls the bizarre “no quarter” narrative; no quarter war crimes that prohibit killing enemies who are no longer a threat after they have surrendered, been captured, or are deemed unable to fight. The letter treats the allegation — itself anonymous double-hearsay — that Hegseth ordered “kill everybody” as a verbatim instruction to commit the textbook war crime of refusing quarter, Cox says. Cox notes the leap from alleged paraphrase to asserted war crime — especially when context, interpretation, and battlefield exceptions (such as persons not actually hors de combat if located on an ongoing military objective) all matter. For the anonymous JAG group, nuance evaporates; for Cox, this is legally indefensible.
And then there’s the invention of what the letter dubs “pending IHL” (International Humanitarian Law) — its attempt to treat Additional Protocol II as morally binding on the United States simply because the authors wish America had ratified it. To Cox, this is not merely sloppy, but bonkers: a judge advocate cannot advise troops based on hypothetical treaty obligations. To insist otherwise, he says, is to substitute fantasy for governing doctrine.
But the greatest danger, Cox warns, isn’t merely the incorrect analysis — it’s the trend the letter symbolizes: outside voices repeatedly telling U.S. troops that senior leaders issue “unlawful orders” and that they must be ready to disobey them. That message, Cox argues, corrodes discipline, foments distrust, and invites chaos in the ranks. Troops already know they must refuse patently illegal commands; what they don’t need are civilian commentators and anonymous groups eroding confidence in the chain of command with possibly legally flimsy accusations dressed up as solemn warnings, Cox says.
In Cox’s telling, the anonymous JAG letter isn’t a sober legal assessment. It’s a destabilizing document built on mischaracterized facts, misapplied law, and a message that risks damaging the very institution it claims to defend.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
This is an entirely unconvincing &#8211; and potentially dangerous &#8211; legal analysis published by these former JAGs.

On Friday, President Trump detonated a political thunderclap, <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/115629010097815862">declaring</a> that any document former President Joe Biden signed with the autopen is null and void—a sweeping reversal that, by Trump’s count, would wipe out roughly 92% of Biden’s executive actions.
Trump framed the autopen saga as a usurpation of presidential authority by “Radical Left Lunatics” who “circled Biden around the beautiful Resolute Desk,” insisting that Biden himself “was not involved in the Autopen process.” And if Biden now claims otherwise? Trump warned he’d be charged with perjury.
The announcement did not emerge in a vacuum. For more than a year, reports—from watchdogs to congressional investigators—have painted a picture of a presidency increasingly outsourced to staff as Biden’s cognitive decline accelerated. In March 2025, The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-pardons-signed-autopen-on-vacation-watchdog-finds?utm_source=chatgpt.com">detailed</a> findings from the Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project showing that Biden’s December 30, 2022 pardons had been signed with the exact same autopen signature while Biden vacationed in the Virgin Islands. Although some high-profile documents—such as Hunter Biden’s pardon and Biden’s withdrawal from the 2024 race—appear hand-signed, numerous explosive pardons, including those for Dr. Anthony Fauci, Gen. Mark Milley, the January 6 Committee, and members of the Biden family, bore the same autopen imprint.
Kyle Brosnan, the Oversight Project’s chief counsel, has called the situation “troubling,” noting that the power to issue pardons belongs solely to the president as a constitutional principle. Coupled with Special Counsel Robert Hur’s description of Biden as an “elderly man with a poor memory,” Brosnan argued the evidence suggests Biden “wasn’t really running the White House. It was the staff.”
Meanwhile, further reporting revealed that Biden did not individually approve names for the mass clemency actions signed during his final months. Staff revised lists based on Bureau of Prisons updates and ran the final versions through the autopen without re-presenting them to Biden, according to aides and the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/13/us/politics/biden-pardon-autopen-trump.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&amp;referringSource=articleShare">New York Times</a>. Biden insisted he “made every decision,” but the admission that actions were carried out “orally” and executed by staff—primarily Staff Secretary Stefanie Feldman, who managed the autopen—only fueled concerns.
The Trump White House, the DOJ, and the House Oversight Committee have been conducting parallel investigations, reviewing what may exceed one million documents bearing Biden’s autopen signature. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt summarized the administration’s view bluntly: Biden “handed the power of the presidency to an autopen.”
And Trump, with characteristic finality, says those documents are done.

Sixteen-year-old Washington state basketball player Frances Staudt has emerged as one of the most forceful young voices challenging the state’s Democratic leadership over policies she argues endanger girls’ sports and punish dissent.
After refusing to compete against a transgender player she described as a “quite obvious” male, Frances found herself under investigation by the Tumwater School District and the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association for “misgendering”—an action that prompted a <a href="https://www.fairforall.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Civil-Rights-Complaint_Tumwater-Schools.pdf">federal civil-rights complaint</a> on her behalf earlier this year.
The district, citing state law, insisted it would not “discriminate based on sexual identity” while acknowledging that families hold divergent views. But according to Frances, the message from school officials was far harsher: her concerns “did not matter,” and acknowledging biological sex was off-limits.
At a recent event supporting two “Let’s Go Washington” initiatives aimed at restoring protections for female athletes, Frances delivered a blistering speech accusing Washington’s highest Democratic officials of abandoning girls to ideological pressures. She described escalating social retaliation—public condemnation from staff, online harassment, threats against her family—and said adults privately expressed support but were too afraid to speak.

Her criticism reached its apex in the passage below:
<blockquote>
Let me end by saying this: Governor Ferguson, (state superintendent) Chris Reykdal, and (state attorney general) Nick Brown, we see right through you. And what we see is gutless men trying to stifle the voices of young women. I may be 16 years old, but I have way more guts than you&#8217;ll ever have.  We&#8217;re not going to stand for it anymore. I&#8217;m calling your bluff, and I&#8217;m exposing the lies that you tell over and over, and I refuse to share my locker room with the boys and men or be kicked out or punished for doing so. I will not be stopped, and what you&#8217;ve done to me is wrong.
</blockquote>
Staudt called on voters and President Donald Trump to intervene, saying, “We need you, President Trump, to please put these out-of-touch politicians in their place and stop this nonsense. I won&#8217;t stop.  Thank you. I won&#8217;t stop, and I&#8217;m asking everyone listening to fight with me. Fight, fight, fight. We will not stand down.”

In a late-night Thanksgiving message that came hours after news that a National Guard soldier shot by an Afghan refugee had died, President Donald Trump promised not only to immediately &#8220;pause migration from all Third World Countries,&#8221; but also to undertake major actions that he says will reverse the immigration crisis plaguing the country.
In the blistering holiday message, Trump said the United States had been &#8220;divided, disrupted, carved up, murdered, beaten, mugged, and laughed at&#8221; for its &#8220;just plain STUPID&#8221; approach to immigration. He made a series of promises aimed at both stopping the flow of new immigrants, and both cutting off benefits to and removing certain populations that are already here.
&#8220;I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries to allow the U.S. system to fully recover, terminate all of the millions of Biden illegal admissions, including those signed by Sleepy Joe Biden’s Autopen, and remove anyone who is not a net asset to the United States, or is incapable of loving our Country,&#8221; Trump pledged.
The president also promised to &#8220;end all Federal benefits and subsidies to noncitizens of our Country, denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility, and deport any Foreign National who is a public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western Civilization.&#8221;
The nation’s generosity, Trump argued, has been weaponized against it, allowing a vast foreign-born population to overwhelm the country and inflict deep social harm.
Trump said the United States now hosts a “foreign population” of 53 million, citing census data, and charged that many recent arrivals depend on taxpayer-supported welfare programs while coming from &#8220;failed nations, or from prisons, mental institutions, gangs, or drug cartels.&#8221;

Trump asserted American families — too patriotic and well-mannered to complain — are the ones footing the bill. He claimed that a migrant earning $30,000 with a green card can receive roughly $50,000 in annual benefits, calling the situation a silent but growing burden on Americans that is “eating them alive.”
Trump pointed to the &#8220;disturbing&#8221; situation in Minnesota, where he says &#8220;hundreds of thousands of refugees from Somalia are completely taking over&#8221; the state. He took direct aim at Minnesota&#8217;s Democrat Governor Tim Walz, calling him &#8220;seriously retarded&#8221; and charging that he &#8220;does nothing&#8221; due to &#8220;fear, incompetence, or both.&#8221;
He also blasted Minnesota&#8217;s prominent Democrat congresswoman Ilhan Omar, invoking longstanding questions about whether the Somalian immigrant was married to her brother. He charged that Omar &#8220;does nothing but hatefully complain about our Country, its Constitution, and how &#8216;badly&#8217; she is treated, when her place of origin is a decadent, backward, and crime ridden nation.&#8221;
Trump said the ultimate goal of his promises on immigration is a &#8220;major reduction in illegal and disruptive populations.&#8221;
&#8220;Only REVERSE MIGRATION can fully cure this situation,&#8221; Trump said. &#8220;Other than that, HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL, except those that hate, steal, murder, and destroy everything that America stands for — You won’t be here for long!&#8221;
The message was posted just after midnight on the east coast, and was posted from Trump&#8217;s official X account.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

Trump’s Thanksgiving remarks echoed his announcement just days earlier that he would terminate Temporary Protected Status for Somali nationals in Minnesota. That declaration followed a <a href="https://www.city-journal.org/article/minnesota-welfare-fraud-somalia-al-shabaab">report</a> in City Journal of massive welfare and nonprofit fraud schemes allegedly exploiting the state’s social-services system, with billions lost through sham providers, inflated diagnoses, fake meal programs, and networks of “hawalas” that some law-enforcement sources claim helped funnel money to al Qaeda-linked al-Shabaab.

Trump&#8217;s Thanksgiving post made clear that, in his view, the immigration crisis is not merely a policy dispute — it is the defining threat to American security, prosperity, and civic life, and one that patriotic taxpayers should no longer be forced to tolerate.

“She volunteered to be there on Thanksgiving, working today,” Bondi said. “She volunteered, as did many of those guardsmen and women, so other people could be home with their families. Yet, now, their families are in hospital rooms with them while they are fighting for their lives.”
 “The accused gunman had been part of an Afghan &#8216;partner force&#8217; trained and supported by the C.I.A. in the southern province of Kandahar, officials said. An Afghan intelligence official said the suspect had served in one of what were known as Zero Units, Afghan paramilitary forces trained to target the Taliban and that were accused of widespread killings of civilians,” The New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/live/2025/11/27/us/national-guard-shooting-dc">reported</a>.
On Thursday, United States Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro made it clear that if either Beckstrom or Air Force Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe, 24, the other Guard member who was shot, did not survive, the federal government would seek charges of murder in the first degree against the suspect, making him eligible for the death penalty.
Speaking at a press conference Thursday morning, Pirro stated,
“As we stand here today, the charges that are appropriate right now are three counts of assault with intent to kill while armed, a violation of DC code 22–401 and DC code 22–4502. He will also be charged  possession of a firearm during a crime of violence. He faces 15 years under assault with the intent to kill. We intend to continue monitoring what the charges will be, depending upon the well-being of the guardsmen. We are praying that they survive and that the highest charge will not have to be murder in the first degree.”
“But make no mistake,” she declared. “If they do not, that will certainly be the charge: murder in the first degree. The Department of Justice under Attorney General Pam Bondi is committed to a thorough and impartial investigation where we will hold this perpetrator accountable under the full weight of the law.”

Every year it’s the same story. Thanksgiving rolls around, and suddenly half the country is being told to feel guilty about eating turkey. According to the Left, Thanksgiving isn’t about gratitude or family — it’s a celebration of genocide, colonial oppression, and white supremacy.
That’s right. Headlines in the Washington Post and Time have called the holiday a “harmful lie” and blamed centuries of violence on the Pilgrims. In 2021, the Post ran a <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2021/11/23/violence-root-our-thanksgiving-myth-has-been-hemispheric/">piece</a> titled, “The violence at the root of our Thanksgiving myth has been hemispheric.” In 2019, Time Magazine published an <a href="https://time.com/5457183/thanksgiving-native-american-holiday/">article</a> titled, “The Thanksgiving Tale We Tell Is a Harmful Lie.”
&#8220;Indigenous&#8221; writers and progressive outlets talk about “decolonizing” Thanksgiving, claiming that the story we learned in school—Pilgrims and Native Americans sharing a feast—isn’t just inaccurate; it’s a cruel myth hiding the truth of colonization. In 2023, The Nation published a <a href="https://www.thenation.com/article/society/thanksgiving-debate/">piece</a> arguing, “Thanksgiving’s roots are intertwined with colonial aggression.&#8221;
&#8220;I do not think we need to end Thanksgiving. But we do need to decolonize it,” it said.
Some go even further. The World Socialist Website <a href="https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2025/11/27/uynt-n27.html?utm_source=chatgpt.com">paints</a> Thanksgiving as a symbol of everything wrong with America today: millions going hungry while billionaires swim in cash, AI replacing workers, and government programs cut to the bone. For them, that turkey on your table is just a reminder of a bankrupt social order, not a family meal. And activists have signed a change.org <a href="https://www.change.org/p/end-the-wall-street-journal-s-thanksgiving-insult-to-native-americans">petition</a> telling newspapers like Wall Street Journal to stop publishing Pilgrim accounts, calling them racist. On social media, activists and progressives argue that celebrating Thanksgiving honors oppression rather than gratitude.
Conservatives, of course, see this differently. To us, Thanksgiving is about more than a history lesson — it’s about what makes America…well, America. Yes, history was messy. But it wasn’t all darkness. The Pilgrims and the Wampanoag made a treaty, shared a meal, and cooperated — a model of people from different backgrounds working together. That first feast shows grit, ingenuity, and faith in God. The Mayflower Compact? That’s the first written constitution in the New World, the kind of experiment in self-government that would later inspire the Declaration of Independence and our Constitution. Those are things worth celebrating.
We don’t deny the wrongs in history. But leftist attacks on Thanksgiving are less about truth and more about hatred of anything that celebrates America’s virtues. Gratitude, family, cooperation, hard work—these are values that built this country, not lies to hide injustice.
So when the woke brigade tells you Thanksgiving is a holiday of shame, remember: it’s really about remembering who we are, what we’ve survived, and what we can still be thankful for.
And maybe, just maybe, pass the turkey without an apology.

In the wake of the shooting of two members of the National Guard in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday, United States Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro made it clear that if either one of the two — who are currently in critical condition — do not survive, the federal government will seek charges of murder in the first degree against the suspect, making him eligible for the death penalty.
Speaking at a press conference Thursday morning, Pirro stated, “We’re working very closely with our partners, especially DHS and the FBI, to review his immigration history and the vetting process itself. What we know about him is that he drove his vehicle across the country from the state of Washington with the intended target of coming to our nation’s capital.”
“As we stand here today, the charges that are appropriate right now are three counts of assault with intent to kill while armed, a violation of DC code 22–401 and DC code 22–4502,” she continued. “He will also be charged with possession of a firearm during a crime of violence. He faces 15 years under assault with the intent to kill. We intend to continue monitoring what the charges will be, depending upon the well-being of the guardsmen. We are praying that they survive and that the highest charge will not have to be murder in the first degree.”

“But make no mistake,” she declared. “If they do not, that will certainly be the charge: murder in the first degree. The Department of Justice under Attorney General Pam Bondi is committed to a thorough and impartial investigation where we will hold this perpetrator accountable under the full weight of the law.”
“Our nation’s capital should not and must not be a place where evil comes to commit violence, whatever their cause or motive may be,” she asserted. “We should not have to live in fear in the nation’s capital, especially by one who came here from a foreign country through a process that was so absurd that he came through and released into this country as many were, knowing virtually nothing about his vetting. This is what happens in this country when people are allowed in who are not properly vetted.”
She offered a tribute to law enforcement: “These guardsmen and all who were here to protect the district are the line that separates a civilized society from a barbaric one. They are the ones who stand for law and order. This was not just an attack. It was a direct challenge to law and order in our nation’s capital and the individual will be made fully accountable.”
“Though it seems that we have been here before, under President Trump make no mistake and the attorney general: We will not allow this to be normalized. It will be confronted, condemned and prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Now my message to the individual who committed these acts is you picked the wrong target, the wrong city and the wrong country and you will be sorry for the violence and the evil that you perpetrated in our nation’s capital,” she concluded.

Sports journalist Stephen A. Smith, a Democrat who nonetheless sometimes espouses perspectives at odds with the Democratic Party, <a href="https://grabien.com/story?id=558294&amp;utm_source=cliplist&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=cliplist20251127&amp;utm_content=story558294">slammed</a> Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) for participating in a video calling for military servicemembers to defy unlawful orders from their superiors.
Last week, a group of six Democrats, comprised of two senators and four members of the House, released an incendiary video in which they encouraged members of the military and intelligence community to disobey illegal orders they receive from the Trump administration.
Sens. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) and Mark Kelly (D-AZ), along with Reps. Chris Deluzio (D-PA), Chrissy Houlahan (D-PA), Maggie Goodlander (D-NH), and Jason Crow (D-CO), all former members of the military, encouraged military members to “refuse illegal orders.”
“The administration is pitting our uniformed military and intelligence community professionals against American citizens,” the Democrat lawmakers claimed. “Like us, you all swore an oath to protect and defend the Constitution, right now.”
The Democrats accused the Trump administration of disrespecting constitutional guardrails, continuing, “The threats to our Constitution aren’t just coming from abroad, but from right here at home.”

“Our laws are clear: You can refuse illegal orders,” they pronounced, reiterating, “You can refuse illegal orders. You must refuse illegal orders. No one has to carry out orders that violate the law or our Constitution.”
Smith targeted Kelly, saying, “Respectfully, senator, what the hell are you doing looking into the camera and telling military men and women to ignore the commander-in-chief? How dare you? How dare you do that? That’s right, I&#8217;m calling it out.”
“I never served in the military,” he continued. “That&#8217;s true. I have family members who did. Some of my best friends have, Marines, Air Force, Navy, Army. I haven’t heard one of them, not one of them, say that was okay. How dare you do that?”
“Is it treason? No. Is it punishable by death? It shouldn&#8217;t be,” he said, in an apparent reference to President Donald Trump’s response to the video. “So the answer is no. But you know better, Senator Kelly. You know better! How dare you do that?! What are you supposed to do? You are a ranking senator. You could go to the Senate, you could go to the House, you could put up — draw up paperwork, you could try to start articles of impeachment if you think there&#8217;s something illegal.”
“I mean, damn, it ain&#8217;t like y&#8217;all haven’t done it before,” he pointed out. “You impeached the man twice. Where did that get you? Guy is behind, back in the White House. Had you left him alone in 2016 and 2020, maybe he wouldn&#8217;t be back terrorizing the Democratic Party the way that he is. But you did it! You did it! And here you are again with this nonsense. How dare you do that? I’m not a military person, and I know better than that! You don&#8217;t tell military men and women to ignore an order from the commander-in-chief. You don&#8217;t do that.”
