O Little Town Of Bethlehem, Open For Christmas 2025

Al Jazeera, a Muslim-owned news organization with a strong bias, says "Palestinians hope the first Christmas tree lighting ceremony in three years will encourage tourists to return to the city, which has been undergoing a severe economic crisis."

It says "Between Israel’s genocidal war on people in Gaza and near-daily Israeli assaults on Bethlehem and other cities across the occupied West Bank, Palestinians have endured great suffering over the past two years. They have had little to celebrate, and for the past years, all public Christmas celebrations have been cancelled."

But now, they say, there's a "glimmer of hope."

Upon what do they base their hope?

Christmas Gift Given to the Military Chaplain Corps.

Retired Army Chaplain Brad Lewis got emotional this week when he heard War Sec. Pete Hegseth’s order to return the Chaplain Corps to actual religious ministry. 

Hegseth said the Chaplain Corps' role has been “degraded” in recent decades, and he gave the example of the 2025 “Army Spiritual Fitness Guide” that mentions “God” once, but “playfulness” nine times in 112 pages. 

Although most people in the military, 82 percent, are religious according to the guide, God has been nearly replaced by secular humanism. Hegseth eliminated the use of the guide this week and announced he is simplifying the faith coding system.

A Christmas gift to both the Chaplain Corps and those who serve our country in the military.

Harming Kids Is "Creepy"

Yesterday, I mentioned on the radio program that a bill had passed the House of Representatives that would criminalize so-called "gender affirming surgeries for minors."

Three Democrats crossed the aisle and voted for the bill, while four Republicans voted against it.

What were they thinking? 

You should know who they are and what they were thinking.

Let's take a closer look because harming kids is creepy. And so-called gender affirming surgeries harm kids.

Hobby Lobby Gives Away 500,000 Copies Of...

Hobby Lobby — a Christian-owned retailer — is giving away half a million copies of investigative journalist and author Lee Strobel’s book defending the biblical story of Jesus’ birth.

Strobel appeared on the latest episode of CBN’s “Faith in Culture,” where he announced the craft store was giving away 500,000 copies of “The Case for Christmas,” a gesture he described as “wonderful.”

The Anatomy Of Gun Confiscation

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese made clear he is eyeing more gun controls for Australians after two terrorists attacked at Bondi Beach, killing at least 15.

The restrictions would not impact the two terrorists, one of whom is deceased and the second is in a coma after being severely wounded by police.

The idea of more gun control being the solution to violence is not a popular idea with people who love liberty.

And, besides, it doesn't work.

The Left is either blinded by its own misinformation or is merely seizing the moment to gain more control.
