A deconstruction of Thanksgiving origins challenges the traditional pilgrim narrative, attributing the modern holiday to an 1863 proclamation by Abraham Lincoln influenced by magazine editor Sarah Josepha Hale. The history of the presidential turkey pardon is traced from Harry Truman's grain conservation efforts to the formal tradition established by George H.W. Bush in 1989. Mention is made of John F. Kennedy's 1963 informal sparing of a turkey just days before his assassination.

Poe suggests that British agents were behind the 1848 revolutions and the conspiracy to assassinate Abraham Lincoln through the "Young America" network.

Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak discuss the origins of Juneteenth, noting that Black Americans historically celebrated the end of slavery on January 1st to mark the 1863 Emancipation Proclamation.

Liz Cheney's concession speech, where she invoked Abraham Lincoln and stated she loves her country more than her party, is analyzed as a sign of the fracturing GOP.

Howard Zinn's self-identification as a "democratic socialist" is linked to the modern DSA movement.
