Monday, December 24, 2018:

And another “Nightmare Before Christmas” comes to a close:

“The main reason Santa is so jolly is because he knows where all the bad girls live.” -- George Carlin

"Merry Christmas" or "happy holidays"? A growing percentage of Americans (now about half) say it doesn't matter. Just be kind and respectful toward one another. There are other holidays this time of year than the Christian one.

If You Feel Thankful, Write It Down. It's Good For Your Health.

Dow slides more than 600 points in worst Christmas Eve trading day on record. Merry Christmas.

The U.S. averaged at least one deadly mass shooting a month in 2018.

50 years ago Apollo 8 sent a timeless Christmas gift from the moon. We are capable of doing such great things...if we’d just stop treating each other like shit. Oh yeah, and stop supporting the Republican Party.


New documents show strange handling of absentee ballots in North Carolina.

Republicans and Democrats were more likely to see factual and opinion statements as factual when they favor their side – even if they were opinions. The politically aware, digitally savvy and those more trusting of the news media fare better.

Undocumented immigrants in the U.S. drop to lowest level in 12 years. We don’t need a stupid a wall. This entire “wall” thing is a scam. Don’t fall for it.

A College Student Was Told To Remove A "Fuck Nazis" Sign Because It Wasn't "Inclusive". “This email tells me the university cares more about the feelings of Nazis than the safety of their students." Um, Nazis are NOT inclusive. They shouldn’t be included in anything but the dustbin of history.

Trump: ‘The only problem our economy has is the Fed’. Shut. Up.


Gun deaths in US rise to highest level in 20 years, data shows.

The world's 5 deadliest countries for journalists include 3 — India, Mexico and, for the first time, the US — where journalists were killed in cold blood, even though those countries weren't at war or in conflict. The US being on this list is not a coincidence with the rise of Trump. It’s because of him.

It’s Been a Year Since Trump Enacted Sweeping Tax Cuts. Rich People Won. The GOP said its tax bill would help the middle class. But the rich have reaped the biggest benefits.

ICE drops off large group of migrants (over 200) at El Paso bus terminal, police say. With no plan of how to house them. They had no food, no drink, and no money. Many were young children.

Operators of Texas "Tent City" for unaccompanied migrant children plan to close it.

Violence Against Women Act Expires Because Of Government Shutdown.

"Are you still a believer in Santa? 'Cause at seven it's marginal, right?": Trump asked a 7-year-old NORAD caller if he still believes in Santa. Christ in a manger this guy.

While Sears executives get $25,000,000 in bonuses, laid off workers struggle during Christmastime.

A minimum-wage worker needs 2.5 full-time jobs to afford a one-bedroom apartment in most of the US.

Religion, especially Christianity, is waning in influence among Generation Z. There’s hope yet.

Kevin Spacey is facing a felony charge for allegedly sexually assaulting the teenage son of a former Boston TV news anchor at a bar in Nantucket, Mass., in July 2016, authorities say.

Kevin Spacey tweets bizarre video after sexual assault charge.

New study finds that marijuana can reprogram sperm genes. We don’t know yet if the changes are permanent.

“Let’s be naughty and save Santa the trip.” -- Gary Allan

Life’s short. Live, love, create, and help others.

Until next time, my friends. Good night.
