RECOLONIZATION IS SOUNDING LIKE A BETTER AND BETTER IDEA: Washington University in St. Louis event teaches students about ‘decolonizing’ Thanksgiving.

LINCOLN’S THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION: The Tapscotts, then of Scottsville, Va., were, like the nation, deeply divided when the Civil War came in 1861. Some of them fought for the North, more for the South. And yet look how far we as a nation have come in the decades since the war.

Lincoln’s 1863 Proclamation of Thanksgiving Day as a national holiday is a remarkable document considering the circumstances surrounding its issuance. The battlefields were strewn with the dead and everywhere the issue of the war remained unresolved, stalemated even. But Lincoln pointed Americans to the blessings we enjoyed even in such a hellish midst.

A century and more later, Ronald Reagan often talked of America as the City on the Hill. It’s become increasingly difficult in the present times to recall how deeply felt that vision was and could be again. Take a few moments today and share Lincoln’s Proclamation with family and friends.

COST/BENEFIT: Illegal migrant crime cost $166.5 billion, three times the price of deportation.

I’M RUBBER, YOU’RE GLUE.

Le Monde writes that the Ukrainian Armed Forces, with the help of electronic warfare, have learned to change the coordinates of enemy Shahed drones and redirect them back to Russia and Belarus.

FINALLY: Hitler Responds to the new Jaguar Ad.

I always thought of Hitler as much more of a VW and Porsche man — I’m surprised to see him take such an interest in Jags. Incidentally, we already know that the answer to his last query — the answer is yes, but with a key edit and some careful zooming-in on some of the shots, because Jag’s ad men really weren’t going to go all the way and risk putting their necks on the chopping block, to paraphrase Jim Treacher:

This is the version of the ad that @Jaguar created for the Middle Eastern market. Notice any differences? https://t.co/PRIS94vT2T pic.twitter.com/aIb4U6nnWA
