Cotton wrote: 'Regrettably, we haven’t heard much about this year’s anniversary because the Pilgrims have fallen out of fashion in elite circles. 'Just this week, The New York Times food section published an article that called the Pilgrim story, including the First Thanksgiving, a “myth” and a “caricature.”
Ilhan Omar, never one to let a patriotic comment go unchallenged,.snarked in response to Cotton's Senate speech and Fox op-ed: "'When your sense of history doesn't go beyond your 3rd grade coloring books and actual history terrifies you... "
I had not heard a thing about it and I did watch Newsmax today. Can’t blame liberals if conservatives aren’t discussing it too. I don’t think we’ve ever celebrated this before.
I bet there were a couple of slaves on board among the passengers.
The Pilgrims’ story will not go unrecognized in my household. I told and retold the story to my children every year as they grew up. This year they will get a much more adult version of the socialist utopia envisioned by the Pilgrims along with a comparison to current day Democrats and RINO visions.
“The Black Book of Communism, a scholarly accounting of communism’s crimes, counts about 94 million murdered by the supposed champions of the common man (20 million for the Soviets alone [65+ million for communist China under Mao Zedong]), and some say that number is too low.”

Profile: Mao Zedong (aka Mao tse-Tung)
“Mao Zedong was the Chairman of the Chinese Communist Party from 1949 until his death in 1976.
Mao is arguably the greatest mass murderer in history, eclipsing even the murderous Joesph Stalin in this regard. Some 70 million Chinese, along with countless Tibetans, Mongolians, Manchus, Koreans, Hmong, Uyghurs, and other nationalities, perished at his hands during his long and brutal reign.”

I was thinking it was because of the Wu Hu Flu but they could have done something virtual...
Is NYC planning a 400th celebration for the arrival of the ship New Netherland in 1623 ???
The first ship full of immigrants from Europe to NYC and the NY colony ??? about 30 families...
Perhaps this is why our Left wants us to forget the Pilgrims:

Not to worry...
Today - Democrats will memorialize the 57th anniversary of JFK's death.
Kennedy was murdered by Lee Harvey Oswald, a Right wing nationalist who was wearing a MAGA cap when he was arrested.
The pilgrims were NOT the first to come ashore. A colony existed in Jamestown. The Mayflower wass headed to Jamestown when a storm blew them off course.
Virginia had a lot to do with forming this country.
With that said...as a kid in school, I got to go on the Mayflower as part of a 4-H trip. It’s one of my most favorite memories. Also present nearby was the USS Constitution. I didn’t get to go onboard but she was a beautiful site to see.
Back to the Matflower; it seems the just did a major renovation.
I don’t want to see history abandoned, neither should it be fictitious.
1607 Jamestown was a non-event?
The radical left also cancelled the 500th anniversary of Christopher Columbus. They also successfully disassociated the year 2000 from Jesus Christ. Remember Y2K? That’s all they could talk about. The left knows what they’re doing and they do it well. They have a long-term agenda.
