Plus: Rand Paul: Militants Want to ‘Hold Your Kid Down and Give Them a Shot Without Your Permission’
November 25 2021
Happy Thanksgiving from Washington, where we hope you’re able to gather in thanks with loved ones wherever you are. We’ve got a reflection from Lee Edwards on Thanksgiving during a difficult year and John Stossel on the lessons of the pilgrims. Plus: Mary Margaret Olohan talks to Sen. Rand Paul about the COVID-19 vaccine for kids, and Rob Bluey reports on Virginia Lt. Gov.-elect Winsome Sears’ views on COVID-19 immunity. On this date in 1950, the “storm of the century” strikes the Eastern U.S. at Thanksgiving, dumping sometimes impassable snow on multiple states, killing hundreds, and wreaking millions of dollars in damages. Let’s count our blessings today and this weekend. Morning Bell will return Saturday.
Proclaiming a national day of Thanksgiving, George Washington acknowledged God as the source of all “the great and various favors which he has pleased to confer upon us.”
“I don't think that we have completely explored the safety for children,” says Paul. “No. 1, we don't know—whether or not your child has already had COVID—whether the vaccine is safe.”
No individual pilgrim owned crops they grew, so no one had an incentive to work harder to produce extra to sell. Since even slackers got food from the communal supply, they had no reason to work hard.
“For real, all lives matter,” Marcus Arbery told the media following the guilty verdicts. “Not just black children, we don’t want to see nobody go through this."
At Thanksgiving we are supposed to be thankful for what we have received. Those who make a practice of giving to others know what Jesus meant about the greater blessing that comes from giving.
