Events from around the globe

France: It should be no surprise that France continues to remove Christianity from Christmas. This is how some French cities referred to Christmas:

Nantes—“Winter Journey” - Angers—“Winter Suns” - Bordeaux—“Bordeaux in Festivities” - Saint Denis—“Happy Winter!”

Spain: Pedro Sánchez, of the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE), has been prime minister since June 2018. His Christmas greeting: “Here’s to a new year full of health, hope and prosperity. Happy holidays!”

Do you see the words “Merry Christmas?” Yet, several months ago, Sánchez had no qualms about congratulating Muslims on their holiday and using “Ramadan” in his greeting.

Great Britain: According to the 2021 census, Andover has 50,997 residents: 62.4 percent are Christian and 0.6 percent are Muslim. Even with that overwhelming Christian majority, parents were told by the Wherwell Primary School head teacher that to be “inclusive” there would be NO reference to Christmas in the school’s holiday festivities. The head teacher wrote: “We have requested that the show contain no reference to Christmas.”

These are just a few examples of how Europe is slowly committing suicide. 

Mexico:  Cartel honchos attend Christmas party in small Mexican town, receive warm welcome and applause from local officials - Government praising and celebrating evil? A tale as old as time. 

Israel:  Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will not be in Poland on January 27 for the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz Nazi death camp. There will be leaders from around the world, but Netanyahu is staying away fearing the left-leaning Polish government could arrest him for the ICC’s bogus arrest warrant for Netanyahu over possible war crimes in the Gaza war. We are going to be optimistic that this might change once President Trump is in office.

Syria:  Erdogan Warns Kurds Will Be “Buried in Syrian Lands Along With Their Weapons” - Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan warned Kurdish militias in Syria on Wednesday to either lay down their arms or be “buried.” On the same day, the Turkish military said it killed 21 Kurdish militants in northern Syria and Iraq – including members of the People’s Defense Units (YPG), the leading Syrian Kurdish force allied with the United States against the Islamic State.

 

Final thought: Leftists do not think like human beings, they think communists and tyrants like Joe Stalin, who said: “a single death is a tragedy; a million deaths are a statistic.” ......"This is the statist bean-counter’s view of human life. Humans are sort of like widgets, existing to serve the needs of the state. It is a view antithetical to that expressed in the Constitution, which pivots around each person’s value in the eyes of God.....!"
