The Death of Christianity in Bethlehem

“The only thing that interests the PA is that events of this kind not be leaked to the media. Fatah regularly exerts heavy pressure on Christians not to report the acts of violence and vandalism from which they frequently suffer, as such publicity could damage the PA’s image as an actor capable of protecting the lives and property of the Christian minority under its rule. Even less does the PA want to be depicted as a radical entity that persecutes religious minorities. That image could have negative repercussions for the massive international, and particularly European, aid the PA receives.” — Dr Edy Cohen, “The Persecution of Christians in the Palestinian Authority,” BESA Center, May 27, 2019.

Kamala gives Christmas Eve migrants the cold shoulder: Two busloads of border crossers are left shivering in sub-zero weather after being dumped outside VP’s Washington DC residence

Vice President Kamala Harris gave dozens of migrants the cold shoulder after two busloads were dumped outside her DC residence on Christmas Eve – one of the coldest nights on record.

The group stood outside in the freezing 18 degree temperatures with some only wearing T-shirts, CNN reported. Some were given blankets and were placed on another bus headed to a local church.

It remains unclear who is responsible for sending the Christmas Eve migrants to the Naval Observatory on Saturday night in dangerously cold temperatures, but Texas Governor Greg Abbott admitted he had sent buses of migrants north, including to a location outside Harris’ home, back in September.

The woke mob has come for the Christmas tree

Galleries and museums used to delight us with their festive decorations. Now they prefer low-grade agitprop

Christmas trees in their full extravagant, sumptuous glory are perhaps still best sampled in London’s grander Victorian and Edwardian hotels. Without stretching to drinks or tea at five star prices, the capital’s galleries and museums used to be a reliable second best for this seasonal delight. For any children one had in tow, such baubles sugared the pill of being dragged around another exhibition. Sadly, this Yuletide inducement to early cultural immersion can no longer be offered, as these edifying institutions have either given up on Christmas or – worse – feel obliged to give us some “relevant” message.

Christmas: Pope Francis offers prayers for Ukraine

Thousands of people convened in St. Peter’s Square in Rome on Sunday to hear Pope Francis deliver his Christmas Day speech.

The 86-year-old addressed the war in Ukraine while offering prayers for the war-torn country from the central balcony of St Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican.

“May the Lord inspire us to offer concrete gestures of solidarity to assist all those who are suffering, and may he enlighten the minds of those who have the power to silence the thunder of weapons and put an immediate end to this senseless war!” he said.

San Francisco unveils taxpayer-funded open-air Christmas market that’s become dystopian hellhole after being besieged by city’s famed druggies

San Francisco’s taxpayer-funded open air Christmas market, hoped to be a wholesome holiday outing for families, is in fact a dystopian hellhole besieged by the city’s famed drug addicts.

At least that’s what concerned residents living near the market have revealed to DailyMail.com, with one property owner filming and posting to social media what she’s described to be a ‘horrible decline’ in the area.

Her clip shows a homeless person under a blanket just a few yards away from the Winter Wanderland market in the sunken Hallidie Plaza, near City Hall.

Conrad Black: A moral imperative for Trudeau Liberals to resign

In 1973, after Pierre Trudeau had pulled in only two MPs ahead of Progressive Conservative Leader Robert Stanfield, with David Lewis’s NDP holding the balance of power, the government was unexpectedly defeated in a parliamentary vote and Stanfield announced the existence of a ”moral imperative” for Trudeau to resign or request a new election. Instead, Trudeau redoubled incentives for the NDP and had a motion adopted declaring that the previous lost vote was of no significance, and soldiered on in the imperishable Liberal confidence that they are the natural and ordained party of government. That is not an incomprehensible conviction given that in the past 126 years, since the elevation of Wilfrid Laurier in 1896, the Liberals have governed for 86 years.

Sky News Stealth Edits Uncritical Story on ‘Chechen Jihadis‘ in Ukraine

Comcast-owned Sky News has stealth edited an uncritical article about “Chechen jihadis” fighting the Russians in Ukraine, heavily deemphasising their “jihadi” status.

In a bizarre article based on on-the-ground interviews with Chechens fighting alongside Ukrainian forces in the embattled Donbas city of Bakhmut, the British broadcaster highlighted a variety of weapons including suicide vests devised by the Muslim fighters, and their “hope they can one day take their holy war back to their homeland of Chechnya.”

Everybody loves a good heist story …

Details of $463K Christmas Day bank heist revealed in labour battle between Brink’s and fired guard

On Christmas Day 2016, four people wearing flesh-toned masks and winter clothing made what you might call the ultimate in unauthorized withdrawals from five bank machines in Langley, B.C.

They stole nearly half a million dollars in a Yuletide heist that has never resulted in charges, or even public disclosure — until now.

The main suspect in the robbery — a former Brink’s Company guard — has been fighting to get his job back since the global security firm fired him in November 2018. And Brink’s has been trying to get him to pay back $463,220 it shelled out to make things whole for the victim bank.

White parole officer claims bosses ignored threats against her in racial discrimination suit

A white Brooklyn parole officer claims that she was racially discriminated against by colleagues who called her a “snowcone” and superiors who made it “impossible” for her to do her job.

Samantha Rys, 51, filed a lawsuit in Manhattan Federal Court this week against her two supervisors, Sabrina Davis and Tanya Johnson, both of whom are black, alleging that they did nothing to protect her when one of her parolees began threatening to rape, kill and dismember her last year.

Polar bears vanishing from ‘polar bear capital of the world’ in Canada

Polar bears are disappearing fast from the western part of Hudson Bay on the southern tip of the Canadian Arctic, according to a government survey.

The report said there had been a dramatic decline in the of number of female bears and cubs in particular.

Researchers have flown over the region, which includes the town of Churchill, a tourist destination touted as the “polar bear capital of the world”, every five years to count the number of bears and extrapolate population trends.

You just know that this “study” will be contradicted by another.
