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.

NPR's Tamara Keith compared President Trump's response to the Kirk assassination with George W. Bush's response to 9/11. The report criticized Trump for taking a partisan approach by blaming political opponents and those who finance them. Analysts argue the comparison is a fallacious analogy, as 9/11 was a foreign attack while the Kirk murder involves domestic political tensions.
