(1) Ted Cruz: Our Cup Runneth Over
Thanksgiving is a time of profound reflection and gratitude. As families and loved ones in Texas and across the country gather together, let us all stand united in recognition of the divine and enduring promise of America — a promise that led the Pilgrims to their first Thanksgiving and that has since been sought by so many. America’s sovereignty, freedom, and providential splendor, designed by our Creator, secured by our Constitution, and defended by our Armed Forces, act as a beacon of hope across the globe.
“This Thanksgiving, like those of the past, we pause simply to acknowledge and appreciate the bounty of our Lord, our lives, and our country. Heidi and I wish a peaceful, meaningful, and joyous Thanksgiving to each of you and your families, and together, in the spirit of the Book of Psalms, we recognize that our cup runneth over.”

White Christian voters were the backbone of Donald Trump’s electoral coalition. More than eight in ten (81 percent) white evangelical Christian voters supported the president-elect, as well as 60 percent of white Catholic voters. Trump even succeeded in attracting the support of the majority (61 percent) of Mormon voters despite their evident concerns about his political policies and character.
(3) Matt Walsh: OK, Republicans, now you can defund Planned Parenthood. No excuses.
… A lot of people have said that the Republican Party has been pulled back from the brink of destruction and given new life because of its electoral gains. That may be true, but there’s a caveat. You’ve been given new life so that you can accomplish something. If you do not accomplish anything, despite there being nothing standing in your way, it will show once and for all that you are not on our side. You are the enemy. And what was a rebirth will quickly become an extinction level event for Republicans. There will be no forgiveness if you fail us now.
Of course, there are many issues that need to be addressed in terms of immigration, the economy, foreign policy and so forth. But might I suggest one crucial and quite simple step that you can, should, and must take right away? Defund Planned Parenthood.
