Leftists Lose It Over Post Declaring Christmas Is About Christ
Most Americans likely spent their Christmas enjoying some long-overdue time away from the internet with family and friends. But the left-wing virtue signalers and keyboard warriors would have no such thing. Instead, they spent the day losing their minds over an X post from the Department of Homeland Security acknowledging the religious nature of the holiday. Here was the post that launched a thousand angry liberal tirades, which DHS released at 11:18 a.m. on December 24: “Merry Christmas, America. We are blessed to share a nation and a Savior.” Bill Kristol, meanwhile, declared the post, which included a 90-second video of iconic Christmas footage, to be “un-American” and “un-Christian.” Trump Derangement Syndrome … has apparently become so severe that … declaring the truth of Christmas to be “un-Christian.”

A rock-hewn mikveh dating to the final days of the Second Temple period was uncovered in recent days during excavations conducted by the Israel Antiquities Authority and the Western Wall Heritage Foundation. The ancient ritual bath, sealed beneath a layer of ash and pottery from the destruction of 70 CE, emerged from the earth just days before the Tenth of Tevet—the fast day that marks the beginning of Jerusalem’s siege by the Babylonians.

Candace Owens and the Dangerous Myth of ‘Talmudic Jews’
In a recent viral video responding to Ben Shapiro’s accurate description of her long-standing pattern of spreading baseless fear and animus, Candace Owens urged her audience to “wake up” about Jews, Judaism, and what she called “Talmudic Jews.” As part of that exhortation, she recommended a book titled The Talmudic Jew, presenting it not as a historical artifact, but as a suppressed key to understanding not only Shapiro, but Jewish behavior and morality writ large. This is not a new genre of argument. It is one of the oldest weapons in the antisemitic arsenal.

The superflu that never was
Once again, as Christmas approaches, we are told the NHS is on the brink. Headlines warn of a “superflu” season threatening to overwhelm hospitals, with language that feels uncomfortably familiar. The sense of déjà vu is striking. In 2020, the public was told that extraordinary interventions were justified because the situation was exceptional. There is nothing exceptional about the current circumstances, yet across Europe, the same crisis framing has returned.
Christians are Disappearing from the Middle East – And the West Is Doing Nothing About It
For nearly two millennia, Christianity has been woven into the fabric of the Middle East. Long before Europe adopted the religion, ancient churches flourished from Jerusalem to Damascus, Antioch, Mosul and Alexandria. Today, those communities are disappearing at an alarming pace, and not only is it going unreported, but it’s more impactful than most realize. In country after country, populations of Christians have collapsed catastrophically thanks to war, Islamist extremism, economic pressure, and quiet discrimination emptying lands where Christianity was once native. The result is the erasure of a moderating, pluralistic presence from one of the world’s most volatile regions. And what’s even more concerning is the West’s seemingly total indifference to it.
