President Trump’s Thanksgiving message to Americans
November 21, 2018
The White House News Release
It’s that time of year again, as many Americans travel far and wide to be with loved ones over the Thanksgiving holiday. Gathering in places of worship and around family dinner tables, it is a time to give appreciation for all that we’ve been blessed with.
“On Thanksgiving Day, we recall the courageous and inspiring journey of the Pilgrims who, nearly four centuries ago, ventured across the vast ocean to flee religious persecution and establish a home in the New World,” President Donald J. Trump wrote in his 2018 Thanksgiving Proclamation. Facing dangerous conditions and uncertainty, the more than 100 Pilgrims arrived at Plymouth, Massachusetts, and “instilled in our Nation a strong faith in God that continues to be a beacon of hope to all Americans.”
In recognition of their journey, President George Washington issued the first Thanksgiving Proclamation on November 26, 1789. But it was under President Abraham Lincoln that the day became a true national celebration on the final Thursday of November each year.
“We give thanks for the family, friends, neighbors and loved ones who enrich our lives, lift our spirits, and fill our days with joy. And we give thanks to God, who continues to shed his almighty grace upon this magnificent land that we all love so very much,” President Trump said yesterday from the Rose Garden.
I-1631 should look familiar to Jefferson County voters. It is the misleadingly labeled “carbon fee” plan that is actually exactly like the carbon tax scheme soundly rejected by voters just two years ago. Indeed, it imposes the very same tax on energy, but now attempts to misleads consumers by deceptively trying to persuade people it is nothing but a “fee on major polluters.”
Baloney. It is primarily a tax on gasoline. It will take $2.3 billion from consumers in just the first five years, according to the Washington State Office of Financial Management.
And it keeps going up. Every year, with no end in sight.
While nearly all voters in Clallam County have received their ballots, a small number have reported that they are still waiting for their ballots to arrive. In following up on this concern, the Elections Office has been communicating with postal officials at both the Seattle and Tacoma Post Offices. The USPS has helped research every pallet of ballots that were included in the mail drop, and has not found that any trays of ballots are missing. The Elections Office and USPS are continuing to work together to further explore the concern of non-delivery or delayed mail. (more…)
