Maybe our (would-be) omnipotent POTUS will get in the holiday spirit with a few turkey pardons…and some for the various camp-robbers, vultures and other scavengers.

Thank you sir for recognizing the sin on which our country is based, the original “big steal.”
I always look forward to your Thanksgiving posts. A keen reminder of some of life’s “truths” that we’d often like to ignore.
I do get a ironic chuckle out of how Indian reservation gambling casinos (2024 revenues of $45B) are quietly/under the radar making significant inroads into Indian poverty- at the “expense” of the gamblers who are spending their money on gambling that, objectively, they should be putting to better use, in their own lives.
Each tribe has different ways that gambling revenues get distributed to the tribal members- but these “transfer payments” are absolutely helping to reduce indigenous Indian poverty. With the advent of online gambling, reservations have even figured out that they can participate in online gambling (without running afoul of the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act), so long as they physically house the computer servers on the reservation land.
Good for them!! So, in a weird way- I am thinking that the best way to spend Thanksgiving this year might be at a reservation casino (I’d definitely lose).
