Kamala Harris Gets Dragged for Christmas
Eve Post

The lengths to which Democrats will go to toe the progressive line never ceases to amaze. Things like tradition and normalcy are not only cast aside but are treated as if they never existed in the first place. Vice President Kamala Harris, ever the producer of awkward public proclamations, illustrated that dynamic perfectly on Sunday evening. It wasn't just any Sunday evening, of course. Rather, it was December 24th, otherwise known to essentially all human beings as Christmas Eve. Well, unless you're Kamala Harris. Then it's some mishmash of holidays that shall not be named.

I’ve never had a problem with “Happy Holidays” as a general greeting this time of year. It’s inclusive and easier to express than Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and Happy Hanukkah and now Happy made up Kwanza holiday.

I always explain to people who don't like it that the word "holidays" is a contraction of "holy days," the 12 days of Christmas with such feasts as Christmas itself, St. Stephen, Holy Innocents, the Presentation of Jesus in the Temple through Epiphany. So when someone says "Happy Holidays" they are unknowingly saying to celebrate the Roman Catholic (and Anglican) feasts between Christmas and Epiphany. The term is every bit as religious as Christmas which is merely a contraction of Christ's Mass, the mass celebrating the birth of Christ.

I insist on saying "Merry Christmas." It is Christmas that I celebrate, NOT "holidays." I sense that "Merry Christmas" has become a political statement, though. Too bad for those who are offended... suck it up and "Merry Christmas" to all!

Non-religious progressive liberals often say happy holidays. I've run across this. It includes more than just Christians and also New Years. Many businesses say that also due to there being various traditions celebrating during the relative same time, and as a business decision they choose to be inclusive and not offend, deeming saying "Merry Christmas" alienates other days.

Its a moot point, IMO. Christ wasnt born on Dec 25th. He was probably born on Sept 11th at the Feast of Trumpets. Its hard to figure out the year, but it might have been 3BC. So, say whatever you want to say or say nothing. It doesnt matter unless the government decides to adjust the speech to suit themselves.

I’m happy to leave historical particulars to Biblical scholars. For Christians Christmas is a joyful holy-day second only to Easter in significance. I’m content to wish people Happy Passover, Easter, Christmas and so on. Kwanzaa and Festivus belong somewhere else. But I dare Ms Harris to drape herself in Kente cloth and say “Happy Holidays.”

Have you noticed that when Easter comes around, though, mentioning the word is no problem? I notice this particularly in the supermarket weekly inserts... "Easter" appears freely in print where "Christmas" never would be.

The year 2023, particularly the months after the Oct. 7 terror attacks, featured lawsuits, congressional investigations, and threats to cut federal funding from elite universities. It was the year that campus antisemitism, long bubbling under the radar on college campuses, finally got its reckoning. Jonah Cohen, a communications director at the Committee for Accuracy of Middle East Reporting in America, told Fox News Digital, "Americans are beginning to awaken to the presence of extremist and antisemitic ideologies prevailing in our universities." Israel declared war against Hamas after the terrorist group infiltrated the country on Oct. 7, firing thousands of rockets at residential areas and butchering, raping and torturing its civilians.

Two GOP members of Congress received nasty gifts on Christmas when pranksters swatted their homes. Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and Brandon Williams (R-NY) stated in separate social media posts that they were victims of swatting incidents on Monday. Both said the pranksters targeted their homes.Swatting is the act of making a false call to emergency services with the goal of sending law enforcement or first responders to someone’s home. The prank qualifies as a criminal offense in many cities and states. Greene has been a repeated victim of swatting during her Congressional career as the establishment news media continue to stoke left-wing vitriol against her, especially regarding her opposition

Normalizing gender dysphoria quickly became a top priority of the Biden administration, particularly in 2023. But perhaps what made it seem worse was the overt targeting of children, as the Democrat’s administration made clear several times throughout the year. Here are eight instances of the Biden administration promoting — and even championing — gender confusion on society’s most vulnerable and sometimes going as far as scolding parents who oppose his agenda. 1.

While the left continues its attempts to eradicate the word “Christmas” if not the celebration itself, it has yet to make a dent in Yuletide songs, if radio airplay is any indication. Perhaps where you live there is at least one radio station that plays Christmas music from the day after Thanksgiving, if not sooner, until December 25. It has become a big ratings boost for many radio stations across the U.S. Stations that don’t go all-Christmas music usually mix some in with their regular formats. There are some songs in particular that lift our spirits or touch our hearts year after year, including these:

Like many nations worldwide Ukraine has traditionally marked Christmas on January 7th according to the Julian calendar, but is celebrating on December 25th for the first time this year, a report notes. Ukraine is signaling its difference from Russia in a new way, by departing from the Orthodox tradition of observing the Julian calendar and Christmas on January 7th and celebrating the ancient holiday according to the Gregorian calendar on December 25th instead. As a report on the change by British state broadcaster the BBC notes, the change was made in law by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky back in the summer.

Despite a multi-year campaign by the White House and its allies to convince the public that the economy is booming, the vast majority of Americans say they’re worse off today than they were four years ago. And despite claims that partisanship is driving the public’s sour mood, negative views about the economy and President Joe Biden’s performance are almost universal. That’s according to the latest I&I/TIPP poll of likely voters, which finds that 58% say they aren’t better off than they were four years ago – before the COVID-19 pandemic – while only 34% say they are.

Upon leaving the White House on Saturday before spending his Christmas at Camp David, Biden was asked by a reporter about his "outlook" of the economy going into 2024. "All good. Take a look," Biden responded. "Start reporting it the right way," he added with a smirk. Biden has repeatedly been critical of the press, which he accuses of focusing more on negative news than positive things that come from his administration. But his approval among Americans continues reaching historic lows and his handling of the economy is a heavy factor in his unpopularity.

The tragic incident took place when Robert Card, a member of the Armed Forces, went on a spree in various locations, killing 18 people. He was later found dead after a manhunt. It was later revealed that Card had a history of mental illness and had even threatened violence against his fellow servicemembers at a military base.

President Biden ordered strikes on three locations in Iraq after three U.S. service members were wounded, one critically, in an attack early Christmas morning credited to a militia group backed by Iran. In a statement Monday, National Security Council spokesperson Adrienne Watson said Biden directed the strikes against three facilities used by Kataib Hezbollah and affiliated groups, which claimed credit for the initial attack against U.S. personnel. The groups, the U.S. said, are all connected to Iran. The U.S. attack was carried out by a one-way attack drone, according to the statement, which said the three locations were “focused specifically on unmanned aerial drone activities.”
