A city has banned all public celebrations of Christmas to avoid "spreading Christianity" and ordered the removal of all festive displays, decorations, and references from public view to keep the streets "clean." Residents in Langfang, a city near Beijing, China will no longer be able to carry out any related religious activities, in what is the latest attempt to clamp down on Christians in the region.

Chinese communists expose just how brittle their regime is when it is threatened by what? Wreathes? Christmas trees? Of cotthid is also the same China whose current leader has forbid anyone comparing him to Winnie the Pooh.

Meanwhile we must pretend the real threats to civil liberties occur in Russia.

Christmas displays were banned on Bainbridge Island (right off Seattle), because the city fathers didn’t want to offend anyone. The fathers, incidentally, all looked like women of indeterminate gender.

China in many ways is still a third world country even though they have strong military, financial, and political power. But we have spent too much time and too many lives trying to force our morals on countries that just don’t care to.

There is such a thing as evil in the world. And I could spend an hour telling you who and from what country they are from. You already know many, dead or alive. Many are right here in our country that are trying to convince the voters that they can sit back and be coddled into submission while being told what, where, and when they can do anything. Including living. I’m afraid the days of the government for and by is almost non-existent.

I am still hoping for Trump. But as long as his posse is drawing down on his back as he heads it, he will go down in history as a leader who was not allowed to fill the shoes. And in either two for four years after this, all he’s done, or tried to do and was stopped without the will of the people, will be reversed and forgotten. Sad.
