It’s the season in which we give thanks for our blessings as a nation and as individuals. But that’s not what prevails in certain quarters.
Here we must begin at the top. Usually, American presidents use the Thanksgiving holiday as an opportunity to express how grateful we all are.

Democrats swept the New Jersey and Virginia and New Jersey gubernatorial races in Tuesday’s election, which is the best news we’ve had politically in a long time. The day began depressingly enough with more revelations about Texas shooter Devin Kelley and the litany of those abused at his hands – spouse, child, pet, superiors – that had somehow eluded national data bases thanks to the negligence of the U.S. Air Force.
