The Most American Christmas Ever - Don Surber
The Most American Christmas Ever - Don Surber"...But there is no dispute about Heyer’s service to our country.
He was a farm boy who became one of thousands of patriots who took up arms to force the best army in the world to leave the colonies so that Founding Fathers could set up a government that protected our rights.
On December 25, 1776, Heyer participated in the Most American Christmas Ever when Washington crossed the Delaware River, raided Trenton and caught 1,400 Hessian troops — who fought for the British — napping.
Heyer and the rest of the Yankee troops gathered at the river around 6 p.m. on that Christmas day for what was to be three crossings of the river.

Joe Rogan podcast guest explains 'heart-wrenching' source of electric vehicle, iPhone batteries in viral video | Fox News:
When asked by Rogan if there was any cobalt mine in the Congo that did not rely on "child labor" or "slavery," the Harvard visiting professor told him there were none. "I've never seen one and I've been to almost all the major industrial cobalt mines" in the country, Kara said. One reason for that is that the demand for cobalt is exceptionally high: "Cobalt is in every single lithium, rechargeable battery manufactured in the world today," he explained.
The Other Christmas Story
The Other Christmas Story - Scott Hogenson 
The Advent season and the Christmas story bring joy and hope as Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus. But the aforementioned sketch describes the political environment into which He was born.
- I have an idea for a political thriller certain to become a best seller and possibly a hit movie. Here’s a quick sketch:
To maintain power, he engages in global intrigue with iconic world leaders, later choosing the wrong side in a war and descending into the madness of paranoia.
As new threats to his administration emerge, he seeks to collude with foreign emissaries to destroy this threat, forcing his usurper to flee across international borders.
As new threats to his administration emerge, he seeks to collude with foreign emissaries to destroy this threat, forcing his usurper to flee across international borders.
His lunacy culminates in the murder of untold numbers of his own citizens.
Along the way, he is embroiled in a series of failed marriages, the murder of two sons, and ultimately, an agonizing death."

Media Silent On UN Chief's False Claim Weather Disasters Up 500% In 50 Years - Climate Change Dispatch
"Last September, the United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres claimed climate, weather, and water-related disasters had increased by 500% over the last 50 years. According to the political and environmental science writer Professor Roger Pielke Jr, this is “pure misinformation.”
