. . . Christian, I’m trying to reconcile two things I’ve seen this season, maybe you can help me make sense of them… On one hand, I’ve seen your house, meticulously strewn with glowing lights announcing peace on earth, goodwill toward men. I’ve seen the outward displays of fervent religion in cards you’ve sent me and in heavily filtered Instagram posts that fill my newsfeed. I’ve seen your performative elation at supposedly being released to finally say “Merry Christmas” again. I’ve seen the spotlight-soaked Nativity scene adorning your front lawn every year. I’ve seen your annual passionate appeals to keep Christ in Christmas. But I’ve also seen something else. I’ve seen your social media feed. I’ve seen your anti-immigrant rants, the incendiary articles you share, the mocking memes rejoicing in the suffering of your neighbors that you continually amplify. I’ve seen your cruelty, your selfishness, your anger toward human beings not born here or those whom you suspect merely by their appearance or accent of not being born here. I’ve seen you declare your contempt for those looking to find rest in your midst. I’ve seen your support for a president who calls vulnerable human beings “vermin” and “poison.” I’ve seen you applauding ICE. And I know that soon, you will be in a church, surrounded by those you love, singing songs celebrating the birth of a child and the arrival of Christmas. With all due respect, you probably shouldn’t be. If you’re celebrating the mass deportations of distraught, exhausted human beings seeking refuge, you probably shouldn’t be singing sweet songs about a baby with “no crib for a bed.” If you hold in your heart such complete disregard for millions of strangers whom you seek to eradicate from your neighborhood, I’m not sure “let every heart, prepare him room,” should be on your lips.

Grocery stores are emptying, Gas is burning and tensions are flaring. The weather, freezing. The news is misleading and false, further apart we grow. Like a ghost the days disappear into our hands and our minds are what used to be. Anybody else feel like the forbidden fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil is an apple, or android? Does it matter? Are you too far consumed with gluttony? We ALL are. For we all are sinners and fall short of the glory of God. The next time you wake up, thank God. The next time you go out, smile or say hello to a stranger. The next time you are on your phone, use it to call a family member or friend. If YOU made it this far, just KNOW that God loves you, I love you, and that YOU matter! When life gets too hard to stand, kneel… God bless and help us all!

are you for real ? kirk never said anything about changing standards he simply said that females and people of color are unqualified for certain jobs in this case airline pilot. This is just one of many missguided assumptions about DEI which mostly benifits white women ,vets and handicap . They simply widen the search pool to include people who are largely over looked,once in training it is up to the individual to pass all standards and qualifications to become certified. Do people honestly believe that airline componies would jeopardize lives and law suits by placing unqualified people into those postions ? Mr kirk was just pushing these same old sexist and racsist ideas that have been around forever to gain fame and fortune with his mostly white supremacists audience. This same nonsense was said of the Tuskegee airmen ,the most decorated army air corp of WWll even after they more than prove themselves.

Paris Jackson, daughter of the late pop icon Michael Jackson, has revealed that years of drug abuse left her with a perforated septum and lasting facial damage. The 26-year-old said the condition developed after years of snorting substances in her early 20s, describing it as a period that “ruined my life.” Paris said the damage, which left a hole in the tissue between her nostrils, caused significant physical pain and emotional distress, leading to multiple corrective procedures. "I have a really loud whistle, you can hear it when I breathe through my nose and that is because I have what is called a perforated septum," she said. She also reflected on her long struggle with addiction, depression, and self-harm, saying the experience has pushed her toward healing and recovery.

Racism was already bad. It never changed. There's more racist in the government than there is on the street. It's in both parties, the Dems and the Reps. Trump just brought them out of the woodwork. This is just my opinion, but not one damn president is squeaky clean, and Gov is just following the leader. Every race has oppressed themselves. There's no race any better than the next. Yeah, there may have been some slaves that were sold by their own people, but the Yt race took it and ran with it. Every damn race is tainted, so be careful what you ask for. You might wake up one of these to find out that you have just as much melanin in you as I do. God created one race, and that's the human race. We all bleed the same. When I bleed, it doesn't come out brown, just like when you bleed, it doesn't come out white. When we leave this world, God's not going to separate us.
