A public library in the Boston suburb of Deedham decided to bow to progressive employees demands that the library refrain from putting up its traditional Christmas Tree.
It caused quite a stir.
The progressives turned victory into defeat and for good reason.

A member of a Human Rights Commission in Deedham resigned after posting a profanity-laden post to Facebook last week that mocked God and cursed her fellow citizens amid controversy regarding a local library Christmas trees.


Really.
Over a Christmas Tree
A secular symbol of a national US holiday.
The tree will again be on display this year.
Right wing cancel culture at work again.
ROFL!

He should have driven them to Battle Mountain.

True. Battle Mountain can be a safe place for those who feel abandoned. I have been writing to Carlos Santana and to all of the old hippies and I have been telling them to open communes in Battle Mountain, Nevada, for the homeless people and for the refugees, etc. There needs to be a safe place where people can just show up on a Greyhound Bus and get a nice hot meal and a job growing food and making cheese, etc, and get a place to live and a community. All of the old hippies need to open communes for the homeless and for the refugees, and Battle Mountain is only $1,000 per acre.

We will see if Carlos Santana and the others read my messages.

Salute,

Tony V.

Worth noting there is no Boston suburb called Deedham.  There is one called Needham, and another called Dedham next door, but AFAIK they haven't merged or had a love child.

If the "news outlet" reporting this can't get the town's name right, makes you wonder what other inaccuracies are in the report.

Anything to distract from how corporate profit taking rapes the average worker and consumer.

Christmas tree.
It's a religious tree and a religious event...the birth of Jesus.
That's why many hate it.
They also hate Nativity scenes and are banning them too.
They hate churches.
They hate Hymns.
They hate Jesus.
They hate Christians.

Dick = Dickens alter ego.  CD had a quality of humorous self deprecation in his writing.

So Bankman Fried can not testify ( under oath) to Maxine and the gang since the Biden DOJ brought down the hammer of the law.

The dems wallowed in his fraudulent largesse but we will never know the details.

How convenient, er, predictable.

(AP) The U.S. is poised to approve sending a Patriot missile battery to Ukraine, finally agreeing to an urgent request from Ukrainian leaders desperate for more robust weapons to shoot down incoming Russian missiles...

The approval is likely to come later this week and could be announced as early as Thursday, said three officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the decision is not final and has not been made public. Two of the officials said the Patriot will come from Pentagon stocks and be moved from another country overseas.   




This is good news.  Not only in terms of strategic defense of Ukraine but for all of Europe - a humanitarian crisis in Ukraine from the infrastructure bombing means more resulting migrant population crisis in Europe.

This is good news. 

Only if you condone throwing good money after bad.

If Biden and his cheering section led by you and the clickbait main Street media are determined to keep asking Americans to pay for an endless and unwinnable war you should at least be honest about the man who is getting all this money.
Zelensky is a tyrant who has sold out his own country, ended free speech and religion , to sustain an uncontrollable ego.
