And for those who open presents….
Don’t laugh too hard. One of my brothers was watching late night TV, and these snuggle suits were advertised, and long story short, I have an Energizer Bunny suit somewhere in this house.
And for those of us dealing with unseasonably warm temperatures, this dream really does not have to come true.
Okay, so here’s the deal. This is the open thread. This is where we all come to get the news that other Q tree inhabitants think is worth knowing and sharing. Please, post links to any “news” stories quoted, and ask for help if you are stumped as to how to do that. We’re a friendly lot. Someone will be with you shortly, and there is no reason to have to press one for English.
Free speech, and the open exchange and hashing out of ideas is not only allowed, but encouraged. If we all don’t use it, we’re going to lose it. There are, however, limits to civility, and those limits are strictly observed here. We are all on the same team. No personal threats, baiting, name calling and other behavior your mother and grandmother told you not to do while calling you by your full name is allowed.
There is absolutely no reason for infighting to result in burning down the tree, house up in the branches and all. Yes, it can be rough to temper speech. However, those who would like to slog it out from the comfort of the seat behind your keyboard, Wolf has provided a venue known as the UTree. Please, take it there.
And now for some house keeping:
There are a few rules here in the branches of the Q Tree. Our host, Wolfm00n, outlined them in a post on New Years Day. Please, review these rules from time to time, maybe while waiting in line with the kids to see Santa. After all, the line does go all the way to Terre Haute.
Fellow tree dweller Wheatie gave us some good reminders on the basics of civility in political discourse:
- No food fights.
- No running with scissors.
- If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.
Steve suggests – to be accurate – no shooting at the nuclear weapons, but to be safe about it, don’t event point firearms toward them. I, Deplorable Patriot, bossy chick that I am, request no teasing the animals, pets and wildlife alike. FG&C asks that you wash your hands and take some vitamin C. Daughn suggests you whip the sugar with the shortning (butter) before adding the flour.
Teasing and trolling the lefties and their bastions, on the other hand is a moral imperative. Folks, this is what we escaped.

As it is Christmas….
Set to music:
As always, prayers for the fight against that which seeks to enslave us are welcome.
Not too much egg nog now.
I wrote this poem based on a story written by Elizabeth King English, ‘Waiting, Waiting, For Christmas’, originally printed in Guideposts magazine sometime in the 1950s. According to what I’ve read, this is a true story.
We were dog tired, late Christmas Eve
We locked up the store, got ready to leave
All the toys in the store were all gone
Save for one layaway, not called on
We got up early, I had my tea
And we opened our gifts under the tree
That’s when it started, I thought of the store
The urge to return grew, more and more
The icy sidewalks, the wind blowing sleet
Not a good walk for my still aching feet
But that urge wouldn’t leave me alone
So I got my coat and left my warm home
The wind cut through me, sleet stung my cheeks
Me, out on this day and so cold and bleak
But there, at the store, stood waiting two boys
The younger cries, the older sees me with joy
“See, I told you. I knew that she’d come.”
The younger looked up, his crying now done
“Why are you here?” I said with concern
“I’d like a gift with this money I earned”
He held out three dollars in wrinkled bills
I looked at him as he shivered with chill
No hats or gloves, and old worn out shoes
They tugged at my heart. How could I refuse?
I opened the door, got out of the cold
Knowing last night that everything sold
“There was no Christmas for Jimmy today”
The older boy said, with plain dismay
“He’d like some skates. That’s what he said”
I felt lost knowing what was ahead.
Then I remembered, out in the back
That lone layaway, there on the top rack
I fetched the package, and opened it to see
A pair of skates . . . a miracle to me
I prayed “Lord, let them be in his size”
And then, again, right before my eyes
Jimmy put on the skates, a perfect fit
I had to sit down, amazed, for a bit
The older boy held out his money to me
But “No”, I said “These are yours for free”
“Go buy some gloves, ‘cause it’s awfully cold”
They couldn’t believe what they were just told
But then they both grinned, as they knew
The skates were theirs, and for free, too
What I saw in their eyes, a blessing to me
Their joy lifted my spirits, almost to glee
And then I asked, ‘cause I just had to know
“Why were you waiting in the cold and snow?”
“Today is Christmas, all the stores are shut
What made you come here? What was it? What?”
I wasn’t prepared for his reply
He looked at me steady, right in my eyes
Then he softly said “It’s because I knew
You’d come, ‘cause I asked Jesus to send you.”
The tingles in my spine weren’t from the cold
God had planned this; God is in control
As I walked home, all my thoughts were clear
This day, Christmas Day, took on a new cheer
Peace and joy walked with me on my way
And I came home to a brighter Christmas Day
Now, as I reflect on this memory
Though it was stormy, I can clearly see
What makes Christmas wonderful, every year
That one blessed thing is that Jesus is here.
Beautiful, Carl.
😊🥰👍
Nicely done and so very well said!
Thank you!
<3
Carl, you bless us with such beautiful stories in poetic form. Merry Christmas, our dear friend 💖🎄✝️
Oh Carl.
Tears.
What a beautiful story about
the power of the Holy Spirit.
Thank you.
❤❤❤
Merry Christmas bacocarl!
Blessed Christmas, DP.
You too, Carl.
An hour of Christmas carols! I love it! Great finish.
MERRY CHRISTMAS! <3
PS – loved seeing that image again for the opener. One of THE BEST nativity scenes, IMHO.
Here are some other faves, from Christmas past.
And yes – it's a pillow! 😀
I’m very much for traditional nativity scenes and love the one depicted in the opening. Glory in the Highest ✝️
Hey, I scheduled it on Monday in the morning, so I saw it first. 😉 I toyed with using a picture of the Bethlehem urban sprawl on the mantle, actually.
Indeed! I was searching on DDG for nativity scenes, quite unhappy until I found that one.
Lightning strikes twice!!!
Christmas Morning
‘Tis the morning of Christmas and all through the house
The whole family is stirring, even the mouse.
The stockings still hang from the mantel in pairs,
As the pine from the tree fills the morning air.
The sun, not long up, gives it’s warm, golden glow,
Glinting from crystals on the new fallen snow.
There’s noise upstairs – the kids jump from their beds,
With pattering footfalls on the stair treads.
I’ve coffee in my mug and Mom’s making her tea,
As the kids burst in and head straight for the tree.
We all gather ‘round with the presents piled near,
Our family immersed in the festive good cheer.
With lights softly glowing and the angel atop,
Activity and talking all come to a stop.
The angel above reminds us of the night
The shepherds all witnessed a glorious sight.
A multitude of heavenly host appeared
To proclaim to the shepherds “Your Savior is here!”
The subject of Christmas isn’t presents, you see,
And it’s not Santa Claus, though he’s nice as can be.
When Christmas Day comes, we celebrate the birth
Of Jesus, our Savior – when God came to earth.
We now all hold hands, and we all bow our heads
To thank God for His Son, who died in our stead.
He covered our sins so we could draw near
To the throne of our God – approach without fear.
Then He rose from the grave, to give us new life,
Freeing us from the world, its sin and its strife.
One day in the future, He’ll come again
To raise us to life and to bring us to Him,
And the splendors of earth will all fade away
In the light of His glory and grace on that day.
And so, this Christmas, as you gather near
For presents, feasting and lots of good cheer,
Remember that Jesus was born to die,
To save us from sin – our debt satisfied.
But all is not sad, He rose from the grave
In total victory. A new life He gave;
New life to live and new hope to receive
To you and to me and to all who believe.
Let’s all remember as we go on our way,
The full meaning of each Christmas Day.
To banish darkness, God gave us His Light,
And seeing, we live with favor in His sight.
– – – – – – – – – – – – –
And may I wish to all my QTree friends,
The joy of a Christmas that never ends,
That you receive God’s blessings from above,
That you all live lives immersed in His love.
This is wonderful, Carl.
😀😌😊
Thank you!
And wishing you a joyous Christmas as well!
😀🥰🤶🎅🎄🌟
Thank you Carl – Merry Christmas to you as well!
Heheh.

Trigger a liberal…wish them “Merry Christmas!”
Would you be offended and alienated if someone wished you Happy Hanukkah? I sure wouldn’t!
No, I wouldn’t either!
Not at all.
Happy Hanukkah, Wheatie! I just love that I can say BOTH of them today!!! 😀
(Stolen from the Mark Dice thread above.)
If they’re so offended by Christmas, why do they happily take the time off from work? Or give and receive gifts? You would think if they were that offended, they wouldn’t participate at all.
No commenting on this one. Too many Jehovah’s Witnesses in my past.
Yeah, I know, My apartment mate, a very good friend (Who we dragged to Christmas parties anyway) a boss….
I so want to buy a bulk pack of Christmas cards and mail a card every day for the next year…
And order a Christmas wreath every month on the 25th…
Special delivery!!!!
I wouldn’t enjoy triggering them so much, BUT…
It’s the SJW Professionally Oppressed, Aggrieved and Offended class that makes up garbage about how their PTSD is triggered by everyday things to get more clicks or in the case of WaPo to get more copy printed… how exactly did that oped pass editorial muster?
These people aren’t really offended – they are expressing offense merely as a means of exercising the tyranny of their feelings as a method of manipulating and controlling other people’s behavior, creating guilt where none should exist, and do this for the Gramsci/Alinsky goal of crushing all non-Marxist and all Christian culture. They amplify it through their social mediaz and create an NPC army of drones controlled by the outrage porn who are angry about oppressionz that never happened…
FAKE OUTRAGE should not be pandered to.
FAKE OUTRAGE should be ridiculed.
Ridicule is man’s most powerful weapon – Alinksy
Make the left live up to their own rulebook.
And BTW, Merry Christmas!
Seems to me if the SJW snowflakes are so easily triggered by diverse expressions of salutation, this hasn’t really sunk in.

As a non-believer myself I have a tiny, tiny, TINY shred of sympathy for this man’s position. But as no one can see beard stubble shaved off an electron, that shred is basically invisible.
A casual Merry Christmas is nothing, honestly, I’ve said it myself within the last 24 hours.
Nonetheless, he is right that one shouldn’t assume someone shares your religion, but that’s not alienating (unless it’s being done by the government). In response to a simple greeting/parting, it’s an overreaction. It’s either someone who knows you may not be a Christian and considers that irrelevant, or assumes everyone around him is, which would be such a minor thoughtlessness it’s not worth triggering over, by a factor of about a billion.
I can imagine a circumstance where it could be delivered in such a manner, with such an attitude that it really means, “Merry Christmas, and if you don’t love Jesus go fuck yourself.” I’ve never personally seen that happen, but if it did it would indeed be the height of impoliteness (at best).
HOWEVER…by the same token…
Where do Christians get off being offended by “Happy Holidays?”
You’re not offended by it? Then why are you so happy people aren’t saying it as much any more? If it shouldn’t matter to someone of another religious conviction that you tell them Merry Christmas, it should definitely not matter to you in the SLIGHTEST that someone says “Happy Holidays” because at the very least, that DOES include Christmas, which IS a holiday.
Perhaps it’s being delivered by someone who acknowledges he doesn’t know which (if ANY) of the religious holidays of the season you are celebrating, or perhaps (!) he’s thinking of “Christmas and New Year’s” and is just bucketing them into a short phrase.
So why all the frigging angst over “Happy Holidays?” Why is saying it indicative of a war (!!!) on Christmas? Give me a break!
Hi Steve. For me, let’s say 4 or so years ago, the issue wasn’t that people who weren’t Christians were saying “Happy Holidays”. The issue was that people who would normally say “Merry Christmas” were pressured by the PC crowd (whatever that is) to say “Happy Holidays” because someone might be offended by hearing “Merry Christmas”.
There’s a big holiday going on out there and it’s called Christmas. So “Merry Christmas” is good. Hanukkah is going on also, so “Happy Hanukkah” is good, too.
If people don’t do Christmas or Hanukkah, “Happy Holidays” or “Seasons Greetings” are good.
Personally, I just don’t want to see people pressured by a group to not say something, because clearly, that pressure is a form of censorship.
This!! It was a deliberate effort to REMOVE a Christian greeting. There is nothing offensive about Happy Holidays. There is EVERYTHING offensive about attempts to remove ways we Celebrate Christianity.
Steve, I am an agnostic married to an atheist so I think I can answer this from a neutral point of view.
“….Why is saying it indicative of a war (!!!) on Christmas? …..”
Because it is the outward manifestation of the war on our culture.
I am old enough to remember the school day starting with the flag raising, the Pledge of Allegiance AND THE LORDS PRAYER!
I have watch over the last six decades as a symbol or section of our culture is isolated, ATTACKED AND DESTROYED by the Commie infiltrators in our country.
The Farmer
Discipline of Children
The Lord’s Prayer
The Pledge of Allegiance
Dress codes in public school
Academic standards in public school
The Confederate flag
Statutes of Americans…
I have been IN some of these fights. Each time a charismatic, chummy Commie asked me WHY I was fighting since it did not affect me.
AND THAT IS THE KEY TO DIVIDE AND CONQUER!
First they came for the Jews
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the Communists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left
to speak out for me. — Martin Niemöller
I hear you!!!
Now – one point which I don’t want to detract from your bigger point, which is quite real and with which I agree strongly (that we need to engage before our own victimization to protect EVERYBODY’S freedom)…..
The issue I always have with this little saying (“First they came….”), is that two of these groups – Communists and trade unionists – (many of whom were Jews, too, to be honest) are the ones who, in Germany, largely filled the ranks of the OTHER socialist alternatives to Nazism, all of whom battled in the streets and helped in a HUGE way to give rise to the Nazis.
ALL of them were BAD NEWS. The KPD not only spurred the creation of the Nazis as their “patriotic alternative” – the NON-JEWISH members of the KPD *literally* poured into the Nazis once the Nazis took power. Pure controlled opposition. When the KPD wouldn’t sell, the NAZIS were just the ticket.
Everybody should read about the Communists and trade unionists of Europe of that era. ANTIFA. Exactly like ANTIFA and the troublemaking radicals of today’s radical left in America.
This has always made a pretty saying, but it has a hidden leftist payload that is no good. It’s a lot like that Emma Lazarus saying stapled to the bottom of the Statue of Liberty. It’s a poisonous leftist afterthought masquerading as something appealing to everybody. It’s a male criminal sneaking into the Titanic lifeboats with the women and children.
“Oh, here, I’m a Communist and bear no responsibility for the destruction of Germany! It was all those BAD, BAD Nazis! Not MEEEEEEEE!”
Hogwash, Hogwarts! COMMIES are GUILTY AS CHARGED!!!
Wolfie, I certainly agree and considered doctoring it but decided to leave it as is.
I sort of wonder if the COMMIES did the doctoring a lot earlier. We KNOW for a fact they love to rewrite history. As a mater of fact, I do not recall the words communist and trade unionist in that poem the first time I saw it many years ago.
I don’t remember who or how many different groups were used in all the different version of that which I have seen, TBH, but in any case, the communists did a grade A job of BLAMECASTING, as usual!!! 😀
As the word “holiday” really means “holy day”…there might be some equality, but really, it glosses over the importance of the holy day itself. Some of us see it as a way to diminish the impact of the events being celebrated.
I say Merry Christmas not just as a Christian, but in the spirit of diversity.
“Seasons Greetings” OTOH is not my style, and I will leave it there.
Well Steve, Merry Christmas and/or CARPE DIEM !
😉
As I’ve said, I say it myself so it’s not gonna trigger me.
… NOT meant to “trigger”!
Happy Hump Day Steve!!!!!
Steve my scientific son has decided to be a non believer. He still greets people with Merry Christmas. I ask his “why he goes out of his way” he said “out of respect.” He does not mind people wishing him Merry Christmas. He respects all people of faith.
I do not pressure him and feel in God’s time he will recognize the value and pace and joy and comfort fathers brings. I never lecture people who are not where I am it is not my place.
Correction: The peace and joy faith brings not fathers. This darn autocorrect 🙁
The author of the Washed-up Compost article is Julia Ioffe
Julia Ioffe, a correspondent for GQ Magazine, is currently at work on a book about Russia.
She is a Jew per her story.
KGB Influence agent??? She came to the USA at age 7. Per WIKI her Jewish parents “fleeing anti-Semitism” in the Soviet Union. I calculate they fled in 1987 just a few years before the Soviet Union ceased to exist.
Today, I am out of twitter jail after 7 days. All I said was all the seditionists should be hung. I guess they took it personally. Ha. Ha. Merry Christmas everyone!
Well, yeah. ‘Cause they’d at least be losing some friends and fellow conspirators, if not themselves.
Merry Christmas.

Listening to those folks in Hong Kong sing the Star Spangled Banner brings a tear to my eye. So much trust placed in our nation and President Trump. We are the light shining on the hill to these people. God Bless them.
Merry Christmas to All.
It’s a big, wide, wonderful world out there — full of hustle and bustle, opportunity and chaos. Good and evil are in fierce battle all around the world — sometimes across countries, other times within the confines of one person’s heart.
It really makes you appreciate how good it is to steal away for a bit to a cyberspace treehouse, to be in pleasant company, and reflect on what is Good, what is beautiful, what is inspiring, and what is noble.
Merry Christmas cthulhu !
Okay, so, just as an experiment, I recorded a few selections of the schola downtown and … frankly, what came back at us from the nave was mixed much better than what my phone picked up. Sorry. Maybe next year. And from experience I know that the choir at home sounds much better recorded from the congregation than upstairs.
Nice header pic, DePat.
Great work on the whole thread…love the videos.
😊🥰👍
And nice job of conserving space on the media file!
😉
I live for a challenge.
At 45% (double our recent rise from ~40% to 42.5%) I’ll be posting about image hosting sites and personal WP blog media stores, to prepare people for the new world which begins at 50%.
If you could kindly explain how to get the header image to link to a URL, that would be GREAT (said in her best Lumbergh voice). That’s the one I have trouble with.
Hi DP . . . how to add the featured image by URL –
In the “Featured image “ menu in the editor, when you click on “Set featured image” or “Replace image”, you’ll get an “Add new” block in the upper left of the editor window. Immediately to the right of that is a little down pointing caret “ˇ” symbol.
Then (or beforehand), in a new window, right click on the image you want to use and then click on “Copy image address”.
Then, back to the add featured image window, paste the copied address in the address line that has https:// in it. Then click on “upload” and then “insert”.
And, voilǻ, you’ve got your new featured image.
However, when you use that method, you’ll end up putting another image in the WP Image File, which is filling up . . . but I don’t know how to set the featured image without that image also ending up in the WP Image File.
Hope this works for you.
I forgot to add that you have to click on on the little down pointing caret “ˇ” symbol.. . . but you probably figured that out already.
I’ve tried that. Doesn’t work for me.
Then it’s beyond my ken.
Thank you.
Yeah, the header image can be LOADED from a URL, but it cannot be POINTED to a URL. So as far as I know, there is no getting around the header image being uploaded and counting against our limit.
The only way past that is to use an EXISTING uploaded image as the header, but that’s simply too draconian for me.
When we hit the limit, we start a new blog. Thus we begin getting “headers only” at 50%. That should stretch things out for a LONG while.
If you use the block editor (highly recommended), then you can add an image that is NOT counted against our limit in two ways.
(1) paste an image URL all by itself into its own block
(2) add an image block, and choose the “image from URL” option, which opens up an entry widget to insert the URL.
The SECOND method seems to be more full-featured, in that you can put the image in the center or on the right, whereas in the first method the image is automatically thrown to the left.
Merry Christmas Deplorable Patriot !
Merry Christmas, NE.
This year’s upgraded version is the best yet:
According to CNN, George Soros is a holocaust survivor. SMH
UGH!
Commie News Network is full of BULL SHIFF!!!
Soros a Holocaust survivor?! He was a Holocaust perpetrator! A thief of victim’s wealth!
Soros is a survivor of the Siege of Budapest in which German and Russians fought house-to-house and the city was the unfortunate collateral victim. His family. while of Jewish descent, was almost ashamed of their heritage and certainly lived a agnostic, non-religious life. The most prominent feature is both George’s and his parents’ embrace and promotion of “Esperanto” a manufactured, “global” language intended to promote globalism. (imagine that!) and rejection of national/cultural identity. Those two facts alone verify Rudi’s assertion.
Merry Christmas Thomas !
Alright, y’all, if no one is stuck in the bin, I have another Mass in the am, and need to get some beauty sleep. At least O Holy Night is done for the year. Really, that one and the descants were what I was down to by the Communion Procession tonight.
Merry Christmas. Not too much egg nog, now.
Sleep well and Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas!
BTW – you have a request to reblog your Miniskirt post (and potentially other future posts) from another WordPress blogger, who promises full attribution and a link back. If you say yes, I’ll let him know. (It’s in the mod bin).
Yes, I saw that. Your tree. Up to you.
I said yes, with credit and a link. After seeing their blog’s “wall of warning of reblogging denial”, I decided that we’re far better off not having our name there! 😀

I’m telling you, it’s part of the depopulation and voluntary birth control plan. Women are put on this earth to bear the next generation. That the next generation is being equated with parasites tells the tale. That a pricetag is put on all of it is part of the sales job.
It’s more sophisticated I fear. You pitch that mantra to the educated, especially the over-educated female majority who have invested years and tens-of-thousands in career education, and they intentionally delay, defer or avoid reproduction, while the uneducated hoards being actively imported reproduce at staggering rates. Thereby you overtake the electorate by sheer numbers.
We were told it was in our best interest, and that it was expected.
The great questions are not debated. Instead, the “answers” are pumped into the heads of “leaders” in places like Bilderberg.
Something is terribly wrong.

NOT without a very good TOP BELAY!!!
And yes I have done some of that sort of stuff 5 decades ago. Our ‘practice area’ was about 80 feet high and luckily had a hiking trail down one side so a belayer could sit on the top of the cliff and the climber could hook in to the belay rope and climb knowing he would be caught if he fell. I have caught climbers who were almost double my weight while taking my turn as belayer.
The real fun was the cliff was not vertical. Standing at the bottom the rain would not touch the ten feet of ground closest to the rock. This meant when you fell you dangled mostly out of reach of the rock face and had to be lowered.
This is a ‘bottom belay’
http://howtoclimbharder.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/5041466000_fc4087a26c_o.jpg
I’ve been a belayer for a man twice my weight…you should seen the look on his face when he got to the top and saw who was holding the rope!
Then there was the time my shirt got caught in the carabiner and I could release it so dangled in the air until I could convince myself to let go of my death grip on the rope to work it out. Talk about a leap of faith…literally.
Don’t you love the look on their face when they realize it was some little gal who caught them?
…
Yeah, I had some hair raising occurrences too.
I was practicing ‘rope-walking’ with prussiks and doing a change over in midair to repell back down. Somehow I ended up upside down hanging by my ankles (thank goodness for chicken loops) just as my Major Professor walked by underneath me. That gave me the shot of adrenaline to manage to haul myself back up right and complete the change over.
My only question: Why are they wearing helmets?
Merry Christmas, everyone. God bless you all.

I mean, look who shows up!
Is it me or does that sound like bafflegab to others?
And yes, today is the day to worship Jesus and in our tomorrows we should strife to be as much like him as we can, But that is NOT what I am getting from that.
To quote the nasty robot, “I’m still collating.”
I understand exactly what he was saying, and reject his non rigidity.
Some of us do this every day of the year, not just on Christmas. If Christ is really present in the Eucharist, as the demons exorcised from humans regularly assure us He is, why should receiving only be on Christ’s birthday.
This guy honestly thinks the dumbing down of the faith made us all sheep who can’t do our own research and learning. The largest growth segment in the Latin Rite is the Traditionalists who are going back and doing our own Catechesis. The watered down mush the post-Vat II non rigorious people fomented on the rest of us is being jettisoned. I guess the St. Gallen mafia a ticked about that, just like the MSM are mad that deplorables reject their version of reality.
And the man (or whoever is running his Twitter feed) doesn’t know that Tabernacle and Creche are capitalized, either?
“…And the man (or whoever is running his Twitter feed) doesn’t know that Tabernacle and Creche are capitalized, either?….”
I wonder if he bothers to capitalize God?

TY For a great Open Thread Deplorable Patriot
God Bless & Merry Merry Christmas to ALL Q-treepers, American Patriots & Trump Supporters.
Bit late tonight for I’m been giving this Christmas away at the Warming Station that give our Homeless roof over their heads & warm bed for the night. Remember you have the power too —
“What if I told you you have the power To give someone hope far beyond their wildest dreams? What if December looked different this year? Yeah what if we all just Give this Christmas away”
How many have wondered this or even been asked by a small child while out shopping at the mall
“A little boy tugged my sweater, looked up and asked me, Where’s the line to see Jesus? Is He here at the store?
If Christmas time is His birthday, why don’t we see Him more? As I stood in amazement at this message profound,
I looked down to thank him, he was no where around. The little boy at the mall might as well have had wings
As the tears filled my eyes, I thought I heard him sing, Where’s the line to see Jesus? Is He here at the store?
If Christmas time is His birthday, why don’t we see Him more? Where’s the line to see Jesus? He was born for me.
Santa Claus brought me presents, but Christ gave His life for me.”
Gloria, I hear the angels singing gloria
All of the heavens ringing, gloria
The Savior of the world is in her arms
Gloria, I hear the angels singing gloria

Looks like they have sentences in the Khashoggi murder. The real questions for me are:
(1) how did the CIA set up MBS?
(2) how did MBS exit the CIA set-up?
(3) is Jeff Bezos actually a CIA agent? (check out the article!!!)
There are a lot of factions in Saudi Arabia. The killing was all about driving a wedge between the USA and the Prince. Now that that has not worked the SMEAR CAMPAIGN gets underway.
Merry Christmas Everybody and Happy New Year.

You too. 🙂
God bless these men of Church Militant.
And thus the beginning of what still divides Christianity – the Great Schism. It took a couple hundred years to finalize, but this is where the worst of it started.

Merry Christmas everyone! This seems like a nice place to share this:
The Person of Christ
He was born in an obscure village, the child of a peasant woman.
He worked in a carpenter shop and was an itinerant preacher.
He never wrote a book, He never held public office.
He did none of the things we usually associate with greatness.
Nineteen centuries have come and gone.
And today, He is still the central figure of the human race.
All the armies that ever marched, all the navies that have ever sailed,
all the kings that have ever reigned put together have not affected the life
of mankind on this earth as much as this one solitary life.

Video (humor and truth) The Best Christmas Pageant Ever –
Blessings and ❤️ to all!
This is the best explanation I’ve found yet using Biblical evidence with some history and most likely Sacred Tradition that the date is correct.
Anglican Curmudgeon is a scientist, lawyer, conservative catholic Christian and a formidable scholar.
yes, and Dr. Marshall in the video lays out how simply using how the High Priests were working in the Temple and the dates that St. John the Baptist’s father would have been there, when he would have been conceived and on and on.
It’s all good. But, I found the video easy to understand just on the date itself. The rest, yes, is more about science.
Thanks! Saved! Will watch when I have time!
The Anglican Curmudgeon uses both science and Scripture as double evidence.
If you watch the show we just did at the Planetarium, that would be disputed…based on world history and outer space events, such as major comets that were documented at the time. Based on science, not Biblical evidence.
If you ever have the opportunity, the show is called The Mysteries of the Star of Bethlehem.
Which planetarium? Got a link? Is the show on YouTube?
Will get back to you, GA/FL….doing a lot of entertaining at the present time.
Have fun! :8-)

Trumps Attend Music-Filled Church Service on Christmas Eve

The ‘Dark Agenda Of The Godless Left’ & The Global War Upon Christianity Has Plenty Of God-Hating Ax-Grinders Attacking Christians Simply For Opposing Abortion & The Gay Mafia Agenda
http://allnewspipeline.com/Democrat_War_Upon_Religion.php
Sad state of affairs.
Public Discourse continues to platform radical leftist KSP – this time with a puff piece on Christmas day designed to bolster a “conservative” and “Christian” public image.
The program to promote and platform leftist KSP as a “Christian” spokesperson is going quite well… and many are all to happy to carry the left’s water…
What is KSP?
That’s the lefty who wrote the article in CT. The soon to be unemployed lefty😉👏👏
Thanks, Miss Butterfly!
Oops, Got that one half wrong Miss Georgia, LOL! Knew it was a lefty. My heart is still warmed by the judgy “christian” writer on his his way out!
KSP = Karen Swallow Prior. Just to give you a taste, she’s super popular with the leftist crew at ERLC and an advisor to the HSUS. Published on Vox, WaPo, Sojourners… Ph.D. in English from SUNY Buffalo.
She’s not the person who wrote the CT article, FYI, though CT has also been working to polish her image. They’re working hard to repackage her for Evangelical and Southern Baptist audiences. More Gramsci march through the institutions.
Symbolism will be their downfall.
GA/FL: Evangelicalism, and the Southern Baptist Convention at the moment in particular, is under siege by an insurgency executing irregular warfare through denominational politics.
The media are either blind and asleep at the switch, or actively contributing to the Neo-Marxist insurgency. This is most obvious from Jonathan Merritt and the WaPo’s weaponized coverage of Paige Patterson. The Fort-Worth Star Telegram and the Houston Chronicle are also carrying the water for this.
The leftists are rushing now in their advance since wrestling control of the SBC from Paige Patterson to their chosen insider in 2018. They also took control of SWBTS and have been eliminating faculty they want OUT.
The case of Dr. Lopez at SWBTS is pretty dramatic b/c he is very outspoken, and not well liked by the ERLC. They got rid of him, and Dr. Lopez came out publicly and said it was over his statements on homosexuality. Then SWBTS had a press release that said Dr. Lopez’ “claims” were false. Two days later Dr. Lopez released recordings and transcripts of meetings he had with SWBTS which make it very clear that SWBTS was not telling the truth in their press release, that the concern was Dr. Lopez’s public statements and how they were reflected on a (now leftist) SWBTS, and the recordings for the first time clearly confirm the control the ERLC is improperly exercising over SBC institutions and the SWBTS in particular. Up to this point the ERLC had been particularly careful to cover their tracks with plausible deniability (standard leftist tactic to say one thing publicly while doing the exact opposite clandestinely).
The Neo-marxist coup of the SBC is part of a large insurgent program of irregular warfare being waged in denominational politics across Evangelicalism. They control all the denominational press sources (Baptist Press, CT, Christian Post, etc) but people are starting to find out what’s happening. AFA, The Capstone Report, others…
Thanks, esteemed Michael H – Copied and saved to read later.
Is Dr. Mohler one of the good guys (I hope)?
NO. Sorry to disappoint, definitely NOT. He’s been cultivating a conservative public image for years but he is 110% behind this. He is a chameleon and has been for decades.
Oh no – sorry to hear. Who is your pick of the ‘good guys’? Will the SBC go ‘gay’?
Check out some of the names I listed in my other post. I’ve posted some things from Pulpit and Pen as well as Reformation Charlotte. It’s much bigger problem that just one issue, but they are definitely planning to use the alphabet issues to wedge things apart.
Oh man – I could tell you blood curdling stories about the denominations and the individual churches I’ve been a member throughout my life. With my own family background/history to top it off, I’m afraid to trust any church or pastor. I am currently attending a PCA presbyterian right up the street, but I’m afraid to put my whole weight down in the pew, for fear I’ll find out it’s about to split or the pastor/elders are in sin….it’s hard to trust after 70 years of church horrors.
You’re definitely not alone on that front. I’ve had more than my share of problems with church abuse. A lot of ppl would give up on church after that, but I didn’t see where it was written that the battle was optional 😉
Says here ERLC is trying to rid SBC of conservative pastors:
https://pulpitandpen.org/2019/10/15/erlc-trying-to-kick-out-conservative-sbc-pastors-because-they-endorsed-a-book/
Maybe PDJT was attending a SBC to encourage conservatives to fight back!
I would like to think so. Pence attended the 2018 annual meeting – ended up being a huge distraction and the ERLC bro’s used that as a chance to stage their coup to get their guy Greear elected as SBC pres.
She really is delusional!
I disagree. My opinion: This is Hillary Clinton’s way of ** hinting ** that she’s full steam working behind the scenes to engineer her getting the 2020 DemocratCommunist nomination and then (God forbid) winning the election.
And her tree is CROOKED, just like she is!!! 😂😂
LOL I saw that as well and just laughed.
Really poor taste to post that, IMO. It looks as if she can’t get the WH loss out of her mind. And yes, it is planting seeds about another WH run. Probably wanting to get people to beg her to run; then she’ll *have* to do it because of public demand. Then she swoops in on her broomstick to *save* the Dem Party. It’s sick, and sickeming.
I say: BINGO.

What does SWAG mean?
silly wild a$$ guess.
Given Ron Paul almost took the nomination away from McStain, I figure they would want to keep a sharp eye on his son.
(Actually many think Ron Paul was cheated out of the nomination.)
IMO, Ron Paul and Pat Buchanan were likely approached by what we now know as Q.

https://townhall.com/columnists/derekhunter/2019/12/24/twas-the-night-before-christmas-n2558484
I love my job.
I’m working today and this AM stood by the door of the jet wishing each person getting onboard a “Merry Christmas!”. Then I did it again as they were getting off a few hours later.
No one person said anything negative….it was the leftists who remained quiet (as they should).
My only regret is that I am unable to wear my red MAGA cap while I do this.
😎
Excellent! Merry Christmas to all!
Incidentally, a couple of days ago I posted that I had heard on local news of evidence that Pres. Trump stopped aid to Ukraine 90 minutes after the Zelensky call, and that Schumer was having a fit to call new witnesses. SInce you responded at that time, I’m posting the link to the real story. Of course, it was fake news.

“ANOTHER BS Report from #FakeNews NY Times and Soros Org Comes Crashing Down — NO, Trump Did Not Order Freeze on Aid 91 Minutes After Zelensky Call”
“The email was leaked to The New York Times by the Center for Public Integrity, a George Soros funded organization.” Then the NYTimes reports it, and I guess local news picks it up. Brazen methods of disseminating lies to promote an agenda.
Hahahaha!
Crop duster spreads 100 gallons of holy water on Louisiana town
A Louisiana church enlisted the aircraft to help spread the holy water.

Holiday blessings were spread throughout one Louisiana town thanks to some unlikely help.
The Diocese of Lafayette enlisted a crop duster to spray holy water on the city of Lafayette and nearby farms, according to a Facebook post from the church.
…
Eeeeeewwww…
It’s a parody military patch. Not real.
Oooooh, ok!
[snort] That’s hilarious.
The FO I’m flying with today will love this. He lives in Lafayette and I went with him to midnight Mass last night in Pensacola, FL. Btw, the mass was read in Latin. Old school. No playing around. Afterwards, while talking with a group of people we sat next to I mentioned that I didn’t believe that Francis was the real Pope. I was complimented on my knowledge of this as a Protestant and told I should consider converting, where upon I mentioned my admiration for G.K. Chesterton. I was then promptly asked by two ladies present if I was married. A very amusing experience.
Most definitely, FG&C!!!
We have a very reliable Tiber Swim Team Lifeguard Squad in the Catholic Church. A gentleman married to a long time parishoner made his Profession of Faith Saturday after Vigil Mass. It was amazingly moving. They waited until their boys were home from school, and he was surrounded by so many friends.

Durham Surprises Even Allies With Statement on F.B.I.’s Trump Case
By Carlos Christian -December 23, 2019
https://theunionjournal.com/durham-surprises-even-allies-with-statement-on-f-b-i-s-trump-case/
WASHINGTON — Whether or not investigating expenses of torture by the C.I.A., rolling up an organized crime community or prosecuting crooked authorities officers, John H. Durham, the veteran federal prosecutor named by Lawyer Common William P. Barr to analyze the origins of the Russia inquiry, burnished his repute for impartiality over time by maintaining his mouth closed about his work.
On the peak of the Boston mob prosecution that made his title, he not solely rebuffed a neighborhood newspaper’s interview request, however he additionally advised his workplace to not launch his résumé or photograph.
That wall of silence cracked this month when Mr. Durham, serving in essentially the most politically charged position of his profession, launched a unprecedented assertion questioning one key component of an overlapping investigation by the Justice Division’s inspector basic, Michael E. Horowitz.

A smile a kind word goes a long way while it is giving of oneself one receives so much more.
One ca spread the joy to everyone even those who are pussy face 🙂
Peace and Joy and may the light fill you and warm your heart throughout the year.
What a great blessing, sing! People are happier and nicer – I agree – what a change from years of sorrow and sadness!
Thank You, sing – Blessings I pray for you now and in the coming year – God Bless you abundantly for sharing your experience! It brought a smile to my face!
Thank you duchess.

Well, no way it wasn’t Obola.
The question is whether he had the brains to do it in a deniable fashion so he skates on a technicality.
He will not skate – he is a liar and everyone knows it – so let him lie under oath and see what happens – he is going down – and out – with the count – he is guilty of treason – sedition – and subversive acts – DOA – and he will take both of them with him – that $10M house will pay for their defense – but do them no good – they all owe the American people big time for what they stole from us – asset seizure and penalties will fill the treasury back up again.
It needs to be provable beyond a reasonable doubt to a jury.
You obviously believe he’s guilty. So do I. What will it take to convince a jury of 12 of his peers that he wilfully ordered it? Some piece of written evidence, or some witness testifying that he ordered it. On the latter score, any quoted statement with a bit of ambiguity he can claim the guy just misunderstood him and proceeded without his authorization, so it has to be a direct, unambiguous command to spy on the Trump campaign/transition team.
If neither one of those is present because he was smart enough to do it in a way that leaves no evidence…he skates.
We are waiting for the evidence to be aligned – as it mounts – there will be no doubt – no one is above the law – they are all connected – nothing ambiguous –
I do not doubt the power of God! It is He who is in charge!

And, those spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms have much more power and influence than we do. That is one of the reasons we must realize that we need God in order to combat that evil, and recognize that it will only be by God’s mercy and grace to us and by His power over the evil forces that the ultimate victory over those forces will be won.
