The Islamic War on Christmas12-19-22, The Stream* -- One of the most odious aspects of the so-called War on Christmas is Western appeasement of Muslim sensibilities. Consider recent events in Sweden, where St. Lucia’s Day has been celebrated for centuries. According to Britannica: “The festival begins with a procession led by the St. Lucia designee, who is followed by young girls dressed in white and wearing lighted wreaths on their heads and boys dressed in white pajama-like costume singing traditional songs. The festival marks the beginning of the Christmas season in Scandinavia, and it is meant to bring hope and light during the darkest time of the year.” Not anymore. At St Mary’s School it’s been decided that the 40 or so children aged 7 to 10 who will take part in the Lucia procession will do so without the traditional elements of the celebration. The reason? Muslim children dropped out of last year’s celebration because their parents were uncomfortable with the connection and felt excluded in the Christmas celebration [Muslims reject Jesus Christ as God's Son**] … their parents were the ones who chose exclusion.

In the Bible we see the Israelites place an important emphasis on certain days of the week (Exodus 20:8-11), certain holidays and observances throughout the year, and even certain years. The Year of Jubilee, which came every 50th year, was a year full of releasing people from their debts, releasing all slaves and returning property to who owned it (Leviticus 25:1-13); it was also dedicated to rest.

12-22-22, WesternJournal -- Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer testified on 12/21/22 during GOP gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake’s election challenge trial that the individual polling locations did not tally the total number of votes cast in the midterm elections, a violation of state law. The total number of ballots the county reported in the election increased by nearly 25,000 from Nov. 9, the day after the contest, to Nov. 11, 2022. That number is significant because it exceeds Katie Hobbs’ 17,000-vote margin of victory over Lake. | The 2019 Arizona elections procedures manual cites state law, requiring an audit at each voting location of the total number of ballots cast. The results must be recorded in an official ballot report. The audit even requires accounting for the total amount of ballot stock paper on-site. The ballots cast must then be placed in sealed boxes. Each voting center should have reported the exact number of voters and the number of early ballots that were dropped off. [1] |
She is the rightfully elected Governor of the state of Arizona
12-22-22, One point given by Kari Lake's attorneys is that ballots reviewed were 19-inch ballots produced on 20-inch paper. This one-inch discrepancy caused chaos on Election day resulting in the mass rejection of these votes as they were attempted to be read through the tabulators. One of the allegations in Lake’s lawsuit is that the total number of ballots the county reported in the election increased by nearly 25,000 from Nov. 9, the day after the contest, to Nov. 11.

During the 2009 economic crises the Obama administration corporate bailouts poured money into corrupt and inefficient corporate entities and decreased the efficiency and productivity of the American economy. A 2005 study found that the USA government corporate bailouts were often done for mere political considerations and the economic resources allocated exhibit significantly worse economic performance than resources that are invested using purely business considerations.

Congresswoman from Georgia Blasts the Scheduled Visit to Congress by Ukraine’s Zelensky
“THIS IS ABSURD; HE JUST WANTS MORE MONEY!”
12-21-22, BusinessInsider [here] -- Ukraine's Zelenskyy recently announced he was on his way to Washington, DC, his first overseas trip since Russia launched its February 2022 action in Ukraine. He'll meet with ole Joe Biden and appeal to the House of Representatives to approve the current $45 billion ... [to bolster the Nazi garrison's action.. - Ed here]. The trip was organized in secrecy to void compromising security arrangements. | Greene has expressed outrage over the president of Ukraine’s anticipated efforts to gain more money. Zelensky is a “shadow president” who “has to come to Congress and explain why he needs billions of American’s taxpayer dollars for the 51st state, Ukraine!” In November 2022 Rep Green spear headed a resolution calling for an audit of government funding to help Ukraine in the conflict with Russia. | Later, the initiative was narrowly defeated in the House of Representatives, with Democrats arguing that it could send the wrong signal to Kiev. Now Zelensky will meet with ole Joe Biden and address a joint session of Congress. [..] In September, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova warned Washington that if it sends long-range weapons to Kiev, this would cross a “red line” and make America “a direct party to the conflict.” |
Winter solstice 2022: Shortest day of the year is here 12-21-22, Today Winter solstice 2022 the official first day of winter. God miraculously created the seasons by tilting the Earth on its axis. Seasons have an enormous influence on vegetation and plant growth and the Earth’s temperature. The four seasons —spring, summer, fall and winter follow one another. Each has its own light, temperature and weather patterns that annually repeat. | The Northern Hemisphere contains North America and the northern part of South America, Europe, the northern two-thirds of Africa and most of Asia. In spring, plants sprout, tree leaves unfurl, and flowers blossom. Summer is the warmest time of the year and has the most daylight, so plants grow quickly. In autumn, temperatures drop and Winter typically has cold weather, little daylight, and limited plant growth. This year is seeing record breaking cold. More here from Newsweek |

‘HARMFUL LANGUAGE’ Guide Released = ‘American’ is one
– George Carlin, [1937-2008]
12-20-22, NYPost* – Stanford University in California has a new ‘harmful language’ guide published 12-19-22 known as the Elimination of Harmful Language Initiative (EHLI) It lists prohibited terms under ten categories including words of: American, immigrant, racism, homophobia; slurs against black individuals, indigenous groups, wheelchair users, LGBTQ+ individuals and others. Under a section titled “Imprecise Language,” the guide advises that the term “American” be replaced with “U.S. citizen” because referring to people only from the United States insinuates that the US is the most important country in the Americas. Other listed terms to avoid the common phrase “beating a dead horse” based on the idea that it normalizes violence against animals. | It is unclear who's in charge of compiling the list for the EHLI or what's the punishment for violations.

Ole Joe Biden's Artificial Intelligence Bill of Rights makes uneven progress [more] 11-21-22, BrookingsEdu -- The White House has released the blueprint for an ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE [AI] Bill of Rights—which is likely the signature document ... Most noticeable, however, is the near total absence of regulation of, or even introspection about, federal law enforcement’s extensive use of AI: There is no highlighted development of standards or best practices for AI tools in that field, nor did any representative from law enforcement speak at the document’s launch event. | And, glaringly, the "AI BoR" opens with a disclaimer that says its nonbinding principles are especially nonbinding to law enforcement. This certainly does not present an encouraging picture. One is left to doubt that federal law enforcement will take steps to curtail unapproved use of facial recognition or set limits on other AI uses, such as affective computing, without mandated direction from leadership in the White House or federal agencies... |

New York Times mocked for naming John Fetterman among 2022 Ninety-three best dressed 12-13-22, NYPost -- Recently the NY Times declared Democrat Sen. from Pennsylvania John Fetterman one of its "most stylish" people of 2022.

The Lord Jesus speaks of marriage between a man and a woman ... Matthew 19:3-6
God designed humans to marry and make babies [Genesis 1:28] He gave mankind special physical 'features' to do so. A baby is made because God gave man a sperm that carries a different chromosome — an X or Y. While a man can't control which sperm will make it to the woman's egg, he will ultimately decide the sex of the baby. Biologically female people inherit an X chromosome from their father, and the other X chromosome from their mother. Male people always inherit their X chromosome from their mother. The X chromosome is about three times larger than the Y chromosome, containing about 900 genes, while the Y chromosome has about 55 genes.

Hanukkah 2022 For the year 2022 the Jewish holiday of "Hanukkah" is celebrated and observed for eight days; beginning at sundown on December 18, 2022 ending at sundown on Monday, December 26, 2022. It is also called the FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS. | The Maccabean revolt and the rededication of the ancient Jewish temple in Jerusalem is what Hanukkah is based on. The most detailed account of the story is contained in the First and Second Books of Maccabees that’s not included in the Holy Bible. It does appear in Jewish text of the Talmud which is a collections of oral laws based on the Pentateuch, the first five books of the Holy Bible’s Old Testament or Tanakh. | The Jewish historian Josephus Flavius mentions a “festival of lights,” the name by which Hanukkah is often known today. Some refer to Bible scripture Daniel 11:28-31, 12:11; Haggai 2:20-23 as a reference to the celebration.

The landscape is filled with bleached bones that Ezekiel is commanded to prophesy. As he does, the bones are restored to life = prophecy of the land of Israel. God alone could cause them to live. Skin and flesh covered them, the wind was then told to blow upon these bodies and they were restored to life. The wind was an emblem of the Spirit of God and represented His quickening powers. The vision was to encourage the desponding Jews; to predict both their restoration after the captivity and also their recovery from their present and long-continued dispersion. More here

US Sends Infantry Unit to Base Appx 21 Miles From Russian Border In Estonia
12-16-22, ZeroHedge -- Last week the US Embassy in Lithuania announced the USA plans to step up troop deployment in the Baltic states turning toward a "persistent rotational presence including in Estonia - which shares two small stretches of land-border with Russia. Full report here: www.zerohedge.com/military/us-bolsters-troop-presence-just-kilometers-russian-border-estonia | The embassy wrote in an early December press release that "US Ambassador Robert Gilchrist informed Minister of National Defense Arvydas Anušauskas that, as part of the ongoing commitment to its Baltic Allies, the United States will further enhance the continuous and persistent US military presence in Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania." This was widely interpreted as a direct response to Russia's ten-month long assault on nearby Ukraine. | Already there have been ratcheting tensions between Moscow and the Baltic states, given that among European nations they have been among the most hawkish in calling for isolating and punishing the Russian government. A heightened US troops deployment along with long-range missiles will certainly escalate these tensions as the war in Ukraine continues to grow more dangerous and unpredictable, especially concerning the potential scenario of direct US-Russia clashes. |
