Holiday cheer or political fear? Cancel culture hits the dinner table



One of my big takeaways from the 2024 presidential election is that allowing politics to consume your life — and relationships — is deeply unhealthy. The most rabid progressives in politics have been advising Kamala Harris supporters to cut off loved ones who voted for Donald Trump at the time of year when families should be coming together, not splitting apart.

MSNBC’s Joy Reid put out a video the week before Thanksgiving explaining why some people might not feel “safe” around their MAGA relatives. She also had a Yale psychiatrist on her show who said LGBTQ+ people should feel free to avoid conservative family members.

The worst thing anyone can do this holiday season is cut off family or friends over politics. We need stronger connections.

“So if you are going through a situation where you have family members or you have close friends who you know have voted in ways that are against you, that are against your livelihood, then it’s completely fine to not be around those people and to tell them why,” Reid said.

After the 2020 election, I don’t recall any conservative articles encouraging Republicans to cut ties with liberal family members after Joe Biden won the White House. Yet, political divorce stories have become a genre of their own in progressive post-election commentary.

One Huffington Post contributor announced she was canceling Thanksgiving and Christmas because her husband and his family voted for Trump. Similar stories of people distancing themselves from relatives over politics have appeared in USA Today and Newsweek. This trend is troubling, but it aligns perfectly with the modern left’s approach to personal relationships.

The recent election revealed the anti-family ideology increasingly prevalent in progressive politics. For instance, the “Your Vote, Your Choice” political ad narrated by Julia Roberts in late October targeted married white women. The ad seemed designed to make wives feel a stronger allegiance to the “sisterhood” than to their husbands.

It’s bad enough that Democrats openly try to sow discord within families and divide husbands and wives. What makes their tactics even more egregious is the party’s unwillingness to define the word “woman” publicly. Democrats avoid doing so out of fear of offending a small group of men who believe they were born in the wrong body.

Anti-family and anti-human rhetoric isn’t just another Democratic Party talking point; it reflects a larger societal problem.

Nearly 30% of Americans now identify as religiously unaffiliated “nones” when asked about their personal faith. However, this doesn’t mean they lack deeply held beliefs. Every religion offers its followers a moral framework for distinguishing good from evil, a sense of community, and a set of deeply held convictions.

Although America has become less religious in recent decades, people remain passionate about their beliefs. In fact, those willing to sever ties with family members and destroy lifelong friendships over politics often display more zeal than the candidates running for office.

Consider this contrast: Joe Biden recently met with Donald Trump to congratulate him and discuss the transition process. The two men shook hands in front of a blazing fireplace as photographers captured the moment. Yet, some people won’t even share a meal with their parents because they voted for Trump.

Cutting off family over politics is shortsighted and extreme, especially when candidates often trade insults and baseless accusations they likely don’t even believe themselves.

Americans should spend more time with loved ones and less time online, where partisan politics dominate. Technology may give the illusion of greater connection, but in reality, American society is becoming increasingly fragmented.

People are delaying marriage and parenthood until later in life — or skipping them altogether. Families sit together at the dinner table or in restaurants, staring at screens like zombies. The politicization of companies, sports, and entertainment has turned the products we buy and the teams we root for into battlegrounds in the culture wars.

Meanwhile, our most important institutions have weakened, while partisan politics has grown unchecked, like an athlete on a human growth hormone. This imbalance is not a sign of a healthy society.

The worst thing anyone can do this holiday season is cut off family or friends over politics. We need stronger connections with those who care about our well-being. Political parties see us as voters, but our family and friends see us as real people and love us despite our flaws. No one should put politics over personal relationships.

This holiday season, my hope is that families will gather to eat, drink, and celebrate together, regardless of their political preferences. Karl Marx famously said, “Religion is the opiate of the masses,” but the progressives urging people to cut ties with family members who voted for Donald Trump are a reminder that politics has become a religion for far too many Democrats today.

How the CIA ruined Thanksgiving



Thanksgiving — the annual ritual of gratitude, family gatherings, and in recent times, deathly stares.

This year, it’s not just the turkey heating up; it’s themedia-fueled panic over Project 2025, a conservative roadmap allegedly poised to plunge America into a dystopian, fascist nightmare.

It’s no longer about exposing disinformation (was it ever?); it’s about silencing that ‘weird uncle’ who dares to question the script.

Headlines scream that Trump’s return is the end of democracy as we know it as though four years of his first term didn’t already pass without the republic collapsing into chaos. Here we are, still standing.

Turkey with a side of TDS

Adding spice to this narrative is the hysteria around incels — “involuntary celibates,” mostly alienated young men whom the media insists formed a secret Trumpian army. But the myth collapses upon scrutiny.

Many self-proclaimed incels aren’t conservatives; in fact, a substantial number identify with radical leftist ideologies. Psychologist Andrew G. Thomas, an authority on incel culture, highlights the diversity within this group: Over a third are non-white, and most politically lean left. As Thomas notes, “Some of the stereotypes about the makeup of incels are inaccurate.” — a gross understatement.

The Thanksgiving table has become a battleground where Trump Derangement Syndrome reigns supreme.

For the uninitiated, TDS is a crippling condition that turns even the most trivial moments into mind-altering meltdowns. Some manage to keep it under control.

Others, like Sam Harris, have been completely consumed. Recently, the neuroscientist lost his mind over Trump’s appearance on Joe Rogan’s podcast, sneering that Rogan is no replacement for the Wall Street Journal.

No, Sam, you’re right. Rogan, with his marathon, no-holds-barred conversations, is an upgrade from the WSJ. He answers to no one but his audience — a vast and varied group that craves raw, unfiltered discussion not sanitized headlines tailored to please corporate stakeholders.

Sadly, though, Sam Harris speaks for millions of Americans, people so consumed by fear and illogical thoughts that they refuse to acknowledge reality.

The methamphetamine of the masses

Some will suggest that Americans simply avoid politics at the Thanksgiving table. But that’s like expecting a dog not to bark or hoping for a smooth flight on Spirit Airlines. It’s just not going to happen.

How do you avoid politics when half the table believes they’re witnessing the collapse of American ideals? Trump and Harris aren’t just political figures; they’re totems of dueling ideologies, each symbolizing conflicting visions of masculinity, femininity, and identity. In many ways, they symbolize conflicting visions of what America represents.

Karl Marx once dubbed religion “the opiate of the masses.” Were he around today, he’d likely argue that politics is now the methamphetamine of the masses.

Ever tried reasoning with someone consumed by TDS? It’s an endless chase through extremes, manic predictions, lots of screaming, and doomsday scenarios. Politics is no longer a topic to be politely avoided. It’s an intoxicant, a substance as addictive as it is divisive.

Conversations that once tolerated polite disagreements now devolve into heated, almost gladiatorial battles where each side believes they’re defending civilization itself. Every Thanksgiving, the battle lines are drawn anew, with political fanaticism toppling reason, leaving no room for compromise.

In the new American landscape, Thanksgiving has become just another front in a wider culture war, where the pie may be sweet but the mood is perpetually sour. And while Trump may be the lead actor in this American drama, the CIA is the real villain of the story.

The agency's agenda

Yes, the CIA.

After all, it was instrumental in popularizing the term “conspiracy theory” — a term as American as blue jeans and bald eagles engineered to discredit critics and label dissent as delusional.

In the wake of the JFK assassination, skeptics of the Warren Commission were swiftly branded as conspiracy theorists, a calculated smear deployed by the CIA to corral public opinion and silence dissent. This wasn’t just a tactic; it was a masterclass in psychological manipulation, a move so effective that it embedded doubt and derision into the American lexicon for generations.

Working hand-in-glove with mainstream media, the CIA spread the term through carefully crafted editorials and op-eds, funneling it into public consciousness. Prominent newspapers ran stories casting skeptics as unstable or even unpatriotic, embedding the term “conspiracy theory” as shorthand for lunacy. Through this alliance with the press, the CIA rewired public discourse, transforming critical thought into a sign of dangerous deviation — a subtle, insidious conditioning that persists to this day.

Decades later, “conspiracy theory” endures as a blunt weapon wielded by everyone from politicians to news anchors to your neighbor down the street. It’s no longer about exposing disinformation (was it ever?); it’s about silencing that "weird uncle" who dares to question the script.

What’s most alarming is how this war on dissent has unraveled the social fabric itself. When every policy is a zero-sum battle, when each candidate is cast as either a messiah or a menace, mutual trust crumbles. The unspoken agreement that once allowed Americans to coexist in disagreement is wearing thinner by the day.

This Thanksgiving, as you pass the stuffing and brace for political crossfire, don't forget that the CIA’s most enduring operation wasn’t in some distant land but right here at home. Its greatest act of subversion may well be the transformation of “conspiracy theory” into a divisive slur — one that fractures families, friendships, and the fragile unity of a nation.

Grateful for my parents and their 50 years of marriage



This Thanksgiving, I'm giving thanks to God for the gift of my parents and their upcoming 50th wedding anniversary.

Be not alarmed. All things considered, my Boomer parents, Richard and Karen, are in remarkably good health. That my family is not cherishing this holiday season in fear that it may be the last for one or both of them is itself a blessing.

We weren't always so lucky.

Just a few days before Thanksgiving in my senior year of high school, my father nearly died when an aortic aneurysm that had been silently ballooning in his chest suddenly ruptured. Only by the grace of God did he survive. So many others who have his condition, including late actor Alan Thicke, do not.

After that catastrophic event, my entire family underwent a thorough medical assessment, at which point doctors discovered a severe congenital heart defect in my mother, then in her early 40s. Over the next two decades or so, her health slowly deteriorated until she received a heart transplant three years ago. Had she not qualified for a transplant, she might not be here today.

I am not trying to be morbid this holiday season or to fixate unnecessarily on death. But I know that I am likely to outlive my parents, and when they're gone, Thanksgiving and Christmas will never be the same.

The older I get, the more I witness the heartbreak of other people my age losing their parents. In November 2021, my best friend from high school lost her mother to a rare and aggressive form of ALS. Six months later, my friend's father was gone too, less than a year after he and his wife celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary.

Another friend, two years younger than I, is still reeling from the unexpected death of his mother in the summer of 2023. Yet another friend is savoring whatever time remains with his mother, who was recently diagnosed with cancer.

And I would be remiss if I did not remember the death of my beloved Aunt Linda in May 2021 and the loss of my husband's uncle a few weeks ago.

Though memento mori is a good mindset to adopt at any time of the year, I am not trying to be morbid this holiday season or to fixate unnecessarily on death. But I know that I am likely to outlive my parents, and when they're gone, Thanksgiving and Christmas will never be the same.

I know no parents are perfect, but I am extraordinarily fortunate to have the parents I have. My mother, a skilled designer, taught me about the importance of beauty and acting like a lady. My dad instilled in me a love of sports, and his quick wit reminded my siblings and me never to take ourselves too seriously.

But even more important than those lessons, my parents gave me the gift of my Catholic faith and taught me through words and actions the importance of the sacrament of marriage.

To this day, I would be devastated if my parents divorced, and I cannot imagine the pain and trauma endured by children of divorced parents. That every day my parents wake up and choose each other is a blessing worth recalling this Thanksgiving.

This spring, the two of them will celebrate 50 years of marriage.

My in-laws are also still married, as are the parents of my two sisters-in-law and my brother-in-law. These couples are not impervious to marital strife. At various times, some of them have overcome addiction, financial hardship, estrangement from other family members, and, of course, devastating illness. Commitment is a choice.

My brother and his lovely wife, the mother of my darling nieces and nephews, now have 20 years of marriage under their belt too. So it seems that while divorce can be a generational curse, marital commitment can be passed down through the generations as well.

God willing, my husband and I will someday celebrate 50 years together. If we do, we will have God and our parents and their respective examples of marriage and commitment to thank.

I don't know why God has thus far spared my parents, Richard and Karen, and continues to allow them to live full and relatively healthy lives, but I'm grateful that He has. However many Thanksgivings we have left together, I'm especially thankful this year for them and their faithful commitment to one another — in sickness and in health.

Thankful: How learning a new skill creates bread — and patience



In an attempt to become a useful person, I told myself at the beginning of 2024 that I would teach myself a new skill every week. This lasted about two inconsistent months. I made butter, learned how to knit and cross-stitch, and even learned to cut my own hair.

None of these stuck these skills stuck like making sourdough, the hobby I became the most thankful for.

Although making sourdough is not the most challenging cooking task I've attempted, it forces me to work on other underdeveloped skills, most notably patience.

My roommate first shared her sourdough starter with me, and I taught myself to make bread through video tutorials online. I'm thankful that it is a simple, inexpensive, yet incredibly rewarding hobby that I get to share with my friends and my family.

When it comes to anything kitchen-related, I'm pretty much self-taught (in a bad way). Like many people in my generation, I can cook simple things and follow recipes, but it's not a skill I grew up developing or being particularly good at.

Making bread was not on my bingo card, so to speak, especially after the time I accidentally added salt instead of sugar to a batch of cookies I attempted in college. But I learned, and I'm thankful I did.

I'm thankful that I don't have to go to the store and buy an $8 loaf of bread made with ingredients I can't pronounce. I'm also thankful that I'm able to give my friends loaves of bread so that they too can avoid buying the $8 loaf from the store with the unpronounceable ingredients.

I'm thankful that my dad asked me to make him a loaf of bread for his birthday instead of the much more intimidating task of baking a cake.

Although making sourdough is not the most challenging cooking task I've attempted, it forces me to work on other underdeveloped skills, most notably patience. The most difficult part about the bread-making process is called the bulk ferment, which is roughly a 12-hour period in which the dough proofs. If you bake the bread too early, the bottom becomes concave and the texture of the crumb is dense and gummy. Neither quality is desirable for a good loaf, yet they are ones I encountered multiple times.

I'm not a particularly patient person. It's easy for me to point the finger at social media for rotting my attention span — and my brain, for that matter — but I've never been a particularly patient person. The phrase "good things come to those who wait" has been the antithesis of my life.

But there was no getting around it with bread-making. There were no shortcuts. Believe me, many attempts were made.

So now when I give a friend a loaf of bread, I'm able to do so knowing I made it with patience and care and that it would taste pretty darn good. For that, I'm thankful.

This Thanksgiving, I'm thankful for the greatest adventure



The unmoored young man can disappear for days or weeks at a time and move as it suits him. He can throw himself into barroom brawls or start them, testing his knuckles and chin. He can grow a wild beard or shave his head, waste time on pet causes, sample one too many whiskies, and risk it all on one turn of pitch-and-toss.

He can take such risks and liberties because no one and nothing really depend on him.

While his lifestyle has been greatly romanticized and is in many ways now incentivized, the Western ronin likely has no idea that true adventure begins when man sets anchor in truth and love — when he commits to God, to a woman, to children, and to a place.

When roaming, it's easy to intellectualize about starting a family but impossible to understand that when committing to a person for life and then together bringing little people into the world or adopting, your surface area as a human will vastly increase, exposing you both to multiplied risk, reward, suffering and joy. The corresponding responsibility is spiritually enriching. Nothing else compares.

This Thanksgiving, I thank God for the adventure of a lifetime; for the wonderful responsibility to and temporary guardianship over immortal souls; and for the worthwhile challenge of standing my ground by my wife's side until death do us part.

I pray that those solipsistic youth now adrift may similarly come to know such blessings.

The trouble is, however, that there are forces at work trying to preclude a great many from embracing them.

Gender ideologues, pharmacists, and surgeons have set about the sterilization and mutilation of children across the country, all but guaranteeing that the victims will spend their lives roaming. De-populationists and other anti-natalists have fed young people propaganda, promoting a culture of death and dissuading them from starting families. Kept in business by a eudaemonistic culture that promotes freedom from responsibility, abortionists, such as those who helped enrich the woman President Joe Biden recently awarded the presidential medal of freedom, have slain tens of millions of babies who could have loved, been loved, and starred in countless adventures.

When asked whether the attack on the family is a coordinated effort or just a confluence of dark forces that look like they're working in concert, Dale Ahlquist, the president and co-founder of the Society of G.K. Chesterton, told Blaze News earlier this year, "Well, let's go back to the Holy Family."

"How did the [Holy Family] begin? With Satan trying to kill it, all right. Herod sends his soldiers to kill all the babies in Bethlehem. So here are the forces of evil at work, first on the Holy Family and then on the rise of the normal family. It is an evil act," said Ahlquist.

It should surprise no one that the institution that evil appears most keen to destroy is that most worth pursuing, building, and protecting.

I pray that our readers enjoy great success in their respective adventures and that their anchors hold.

Why we need God’s blessing more than ever in 2024



A republican form of government deriving its powers from the people? Check. A system of checks and balances? Check. A dual track of federalism? Check. Respect for natural law and fundamental rights? Check.

However, one critical component remained for our Founders to establish this country successfully — an element they universally regarded as the most important factor in uniting and prospering as a nation: God’s providence and blessing. To secure that blessing, America’s Founders believed the new nation had a responsibility to publicly acknowledge, proclaim, and give thanks to God for the blessings already bestowed.

The challenges we face today are far too great for any human plan to overcome. We must return to the one course of action that has always sustained this nation.

The Bible inspired the concept, timing, and customs of Thanksgiving. The Jewish holiday of the Feast of Tabernacles, also known as the Feast of Ingathering, was celebrated every fall to thank God for a successful harvest and acknowledge his providence as the source of their blessings. During this time, as the Israelites prepared for the new rainy season that would nourish the land for the next year's harvest, they prayed for rain. This practice emphasized that all existing bounty came from God and that future success depended on remaining worthy of his continued blessings. Today, devout Jews around the world celebrate this holiday, which falls in late September or early October.

On September 25, 1789, the newly established Congress passed a resolution asking President George Washington to declare a “day of public humiliation and prayer.” This day of prayer and thanksgiving, as described by Roger Sherman, aimed to replicate “the solemn thanksgivings and rejoicings which took place in the time of Solomon, after the building of the Temple.” That celebration, mentioned in 1 Kings, occurred during the Feast of Tabernacles following the fall harvest.

George Washington issued the proclamation on October 3, to be observed on November 26 of the same year. This public day of prayer aimed to beseech God “to pardon our national and other transgressions” and “to promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue.”

Notably, as a lasting rebuttal to the ultra-secular zealots of today, the House passed this resolution on the very same day it approved the First Amendment of the Bill of Rights, ensuring no law would be made “respecting an establishment of religion.” While the Founders sought to protect individuals from being coerced into practicing a particular religion, they also recognized the importance of promoting voluntary public thanksgiving to God. Just as a nation relies on its military and economy, they understood the necessity of divine providence.

President William McKinley reflected this sentiment in his 1899 Thanksgiving proclamation. He advised,

This day religious exercises shall be conducted in the churches or meeting places of all denominations, in order that in the social features of the day its real significance may not be lost sight of, but prayers may be offered to the Most High for a continuance of the divine guidance without which man’s efforts are vain, and for divine consolation to those whose kindred and friends have sacrificed their lives for country.

McKinley used Thanksgiving to express gratitude for those who sacrificed for the country while also emphasizing the day’s focus on “religious exercises.” Fast forward 120 years, and unelected judges now wield power to ban public prayer and remove a 92-year-old World War I memorial. Had President Washington proclaimed Thanksgiving as a national holiday in today’s era, federal judges might have declared it “unconstitutional” under the guise of extremism.

It’s clear we need God’s blessings now more than ever.

This year, it’s difficult to mask the reality of cultural depravity and the seemingly irreparable nature of our political system. Our current government stands in direct opposition to the founding virtues Thanksgiving was meant to celebrate. Yet, we must remember that the earthly powers destroying our nation hold no true power on their own. That assurance — that we rest solely in God’s hands — remains a profound reason for gratitude.

Calvin Coolidge captured this sentiment in his 1923 Thanksgiving proclamation: “Even in the least propitious times, a broad contemplation of our whole position has never failed to disclose overwhelming reasons for thankfulness.” Similarly, Abraham Lincoln’s 1863 proclamation — the first to establish Thanksgiving on its current date — found hope and gratitude amid the “civil war of unequaled magnitude and severity.”

Reflecting on recent natural disasters reminds us of our vulnerability and our place in God’s hands. We may believe we have everything under control, but ultimately, we are not in charge. As Proverbs 19:21 states, “Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.”

The challenges we face today are far too great for any human plan to overcome. We must return to the one course of action that has always sustained this nation — recognizing and seeking the blessings of the one who grants them.

“If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land” (2 Chronicles 7:14).

Let us turn to the Lord, lifting our prayers as our forefathers did in the first Thanksgiving proclamation of the Continental Congress on November 1, 1777: “It is the indispensable duty of all men to adore the superintending Providence of Almighty God; to acknowledge with gratitude their obligation to Him for benefits received, and to implore such further blessings as they stand in need of.”

Editor’s note: A version of this article was first published at Conservative Review as “Do we still desire God’s blessings?” on Nov. 22, 2017.

The fall of the corporate press: A Thanksgiving reflection on the new media era



President-elect Donald Trump's overwhelming victory on November 5 appears to have marked the end of an era for the corporate press. And that is certainly something worthy of gratitude this Thanksgiving.

The outcome of the election revealed that the vast majority of voters were unswayed by the liberal media's relentless attacks against Trump and the Biden-Harris administration's persistent lawfare.

'We could all be fired a year from now.'

Instead, America largely rejected the barrage of propaganda and negative coverage directed toward the Republican nominee, including outlandish comparisons to Adolf Hitler and desperate warnings of fascism.

Even with the most prominent news networks behind it, the Democratic Party still failed in its mission to instill widespread fear among Americans about the prospect of a second Trump administration.

So while the lights may still be on — for now — at the once-powerful media giants, Trump's landslide victory undoubtedly marks the greatest decline in their influence to date. The election results even prompted Elon Musk, a now-Trump supporter who voted predominantly Democrat in the past, to declare to the public, "You are the media now."

Whether the reporters at the legacy media outlets will continue with their bogeyman narratives of Trump throughout his upcoming presidency remains to be seen. Though this scenario seems the most likely, at least for the moment, this holiday season provides a brief respite from the fearmongering as these wildly out-of-touch networks evaluate their missteps and strategize on how to bail out their collective sinking ship.

So far, fresh out of Trump's win, the reaction from the corporate press and far-left reporters has notably been varied, with some trying to regain favor with the American audience and others doubling down on their hatred for Trump.

Following the election results, Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong, the owner of the Los Angeles Times, announced that he planned to replace the editorial board to realign with voter sentiment.

Jeff Bezos, the owner of the Washington Post, made a similar move, vowing to incorporate more conservative editorial writers. The Post's senior politics editor was reportedly informed that he would soon be removed from that position.

Both newspapers faced significant pushback from their respective newsroom staffers when the owners declined to endorse a presidential candidate during this election cycle.

Over at MSNBC, there appears to be even more internal turmoil. Elon Musk floated the idea of purchasing the network after Comcast announced that it plans to spin off several cable channels, including MSNBC, CNBC, and USA Network. The upcoming reorganization prompted anchor Rachel Maddow's contract to be renegotiated down by $5 million, and other staffers are reportedly concerned about job security.

Last week, MSNBC host Joe Scarborough said, "We could all be fired a year from now."

His co-host and wife, Mika Brzezinski, replied, "Or tomorrow."

Scarborough and Brzezinski's show, "Morning Joe," suffered a steep decline in viewership after the two liberal co-hosts announced they had met with Trump at Mar-a-Lago to reportedly "restart communications."

While the two anchors give the impression of attempting to bridge the divide, other left-wing hosts, such as Joy Reid and much of "The View" panel, have opted to double down on their loathing of Trump, attributing his election win to what they perceive as a cloud of racism and sexism obscuring the judgment of most American voters.

During a podcast episode last week, Joe Rogan commented on the deteriorating viewership of liberal media.

Rogan said, "I was just reading something about CNN's ratings and MSNBC's ratings post-election — they've crashed."

"All these left-wing kooks on YouTube are hemorrhaging subscribers. Where people go, 'You guys are out of touch, you're not accurate, you're delusional,'" he added. "And people are speaking with their subscriptions, and they're speaking with their purchasing of the Washington Post and their purchasing of the New York Times."

This Thanksgiving, let us celebrate the nation seeing through the veil of misleading and biased reporting, inspiring hope among Americans that we might return to the values upon which our country was founded. And let us give thanks for what we stand to gain: a more independent media landscape that is held accountable to the people.

Donald Trump Wishes ‘Happy Thanksgiving To All,’ Including ‘Radical Left Lunatics’

‘Don’t worry, our Country will soon be respected, productive, fair, and strong’
