YOUTUBE — Mary was a child still, about the same age as Savanna in this video. What humility and faith and courage she shows as she cries a prayer for mercy. And I think if we listen closely, we will hear a little of ourselves in this song. “Help me be strong. Help me be… help me.” With faith in God and Joseph at her side, Mary pressed on, and gave the world the greatest gift it would ever know.... (more)

A subtle form of feudalism

AMERICAN THINKER — Under the feudal system of the middle ages, a serf was an agricultural laborer who was bound to work on his lord's estate. The lord owned the land, and the laborer had no choice but to live on the lord's property and hand a significant amount of the fruits of his/her labor over to the lord.... (more)

Stanford's Peter Robinson interviews Thomas Sowell, senior fellow at Stanford's Hoover Institution

YOUTUBE — Some of the biggest proponents of socialism in general, and the Welfare State in particular, are the "Intellectuals" who occupy the universities and the media. Often themselves being quite well off, their support for the welfare state is presented under the guise of "compassion." Thomas Sowell explores the real reasons behind the facade of "compassion" and discusses how reality is not what it seems on the surface.... (more)

YOUTUBE — Fox News personality Laura Ingraham and Fox News contributor Raymond Arroyo poke fun at Joe Biden for his fumbles at last week's official lighting of the National Christmas Tree, which was marred by comical timing and his staff's placement of his teleprompter in a way that made it readable to all viewers. Finally, Jill led Joe away, so America could get back to watching replays of Trump rallies.... (more)

RELATED: Dissolution of the Soviet Union (Wikipedia)

FROM HILLSDALE COLLEGE'S 'IMPRIMIS' — In the last few months, Americans, especially those of Eastern European national descent, watched with both awe and elation as democracy and freedom reared their hesitant heads above the ebbing tides of Marxist socialism in the Warsaw Pact nations…. [With that remarkable fact in mind, note that] some years ago I asked Nobel economist Milton Friedman why it was, given the appalling and obvious failures of socialism everywhere in the world contrasted with the stunning successes of market capitalism, that most American students still graduated from high school with such a surprisingly socialist perspective. His answer was characteristically clear: “Because they are products of a socialist system — namely public education. How can you expect such a system to inculcate the values of free enterprise and individual entrepreneurship and competition when it is based on monopoly state ownership, abhors competition, and survives only through compulsion and taxation?”...

The dataset includes deaths by vaccination status between 1st April 2021 and 31st May 2023. But because we have extensively looked at deaths up to the end of 2022 in previously published datasets, we decided to take a look at Covid-19 deaths by vaccination status over a full year up to 31st May 2023, and the following chart shows what we discovered...

JERRY NEWCOMBE — For the last few generations, Western civilization has been under attack. But recently there were some excellent defenses of Western civilization made by Bill Maher (earlier this month) and by Greg Gutfield in his program on Fox News last Friday. Gutfield said: “So let's talk about the death of Western civilization. It's in trouble, people…. Now, before you accuse me of being too pessimistic, let me just say the West has been tested before and we've come through…. [I]n 1940, when it looked like the Nazis could take over all of Europe, it was the British who stood up to them alone. Sounds familiar to what Israel is doing right now, doesn't it?”... (more)

CURTIS DAHLGREN — From AmericanWireNews: "A Jewish high school teacher in Queens was terrorized by a mob of left-wing students who reacted with outrage after she attended a pro-Israel rally last weekend, a terrifying incident that left her badly shaken. The target of the 'radicalized' kids was forced to hide for over two hours in a locked office as the halls at Hillcrest High School were taken over by hundreds of young people incensed over her posting of support for the Jewish democracy to her Facebook page. The students chanted slogans and waved Palestinian flags in what was described as a pre-planned protest demanding the teacher’s firing with video of the harrowing display of anti-Semitism being posted to social media."...

COLORADOAN — It makes sense that Jeff Keane would one day take over “The Family Circus” from his father Bil. After all, he’s one of the characters. Jeff Keane is the inspiration for Jeffy. All of the child characters are modeled after Bil Keane’s own children, in fact. But Jeff is the only one with the same name. “Jeffy, he was always the hero,” Jeff Keane said, laughing. “As far as I was concerned he was the savior of the strip.”... (more)

HILLSDALE COLLEGE — The banner that hung across the stage read simply: “Thank You, Alan Brinkley! We’ll Miss You.” As the young professor ended his last lecture, more than 500 students who filled the seats and aisles of Harvard’s Sanders Theater rose in a standing ovation. By all accounts, Brinkley was one of Harvard’s most gifted teachers. At 37, he taught the largest course in Harvard’s History Department and had won an American Book Award for his study of the Depression era. He further stood out from many of his Harvard colleagues because of his open-door policy and willingness to meet with students one-on-one, even though by some estimates, he taught one-third of all Harvard undergraduates in his various classes....

DENNIS PRAGER — Since World War II, most American Jews have believed that the more secular American society is, the more secure their status. This has been, as I have argued all of my life, a colossal error. Indeed, it may turn out to be a fatal error. With the outburst of unprecedented levels of antisemitism, American Jews are living the famous warning: "Beware what you wish for; you just may get it."... (more)

DAVID HARSANYI — “Ultimately,” contends Sen. Chris Murphy, the next Israeli government “is going to have to put us back on a path to have a Palestinian state. That’s not easy, but it is the only way forward for Israel, is the only way forward for long-term peace.” Well, it’s not the only way forward, right? Israel could clamp down on Palestinian autonomy until the violence against innocent Jewish civilians stops, and residents start living peacefully with their neighbors and begin accepting history’s outcomes. That’s another option.... (more)
