Christmas

The week before Christmas in 2006, on the same day I lost my job, doctors gave my wife six months to live. I had to be the one to break the news to her. I sat in her recovery room following a lung biopsy surgery, waited for her to be awake and aware, and told her the doctors discovered she had an aggressive form of cancer that had spread to her lungs. There was nothing they could do. Merry…

It was a year of change for late night comedy. The Late Late show was cancelled by CBS after 5,300 episodes since 1995 after James Corden decided to return to England, Comedy Central’s The Daily Show used a series of temp hosts after Trevor Noah walked away at the end of 2022, CBS host of The Late Show Stephen Colbert finally stopped giving Donald Trump the He Who…

On Monday, The Daily Show proclaimed that Christmas was the “queerest holiday of all,” on Tuesday it was ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel’s turn as he “interviewed” Sean Hayes, who was playing the role of a gay nutcracker. Hayes claimed that “pretty much every Christmas character is gay” and like The Daily Show, he including Joseph from the Nativity.

Fox News’s Jesse Watters did not appreciate that Target is selling a LGBTQ-flag waving nutcracker, so The Daily Show sent correspondent Grace Kuhlenschmidt out on the streets to interview ordinary people in an attempt to show Watters was out of touch. However, she took the segment from the realm of the troll to the realm of the cringe and even the disrespectful as she declared…

When King David ruled over all of Israel, one of the many Psalms he wrote included this verse: “Do not put your trust in princes, in human beings, who cannot save. When their spirit departs, they return to the ground; on that very day their plans come to nothing.” (Psalm 146:3-4 NIV) On Election Night last month, some TV anchors and commentators were already speculating over who would run for…

Sixteen years ago, right around this past Friday, I looked into my wife's eyes and told her she was going to die. A week before Christmas in 2006, I lost my job. My friends who'd been running RedState.com with me told me we were out of money. It was time to go find a new job. My wife had gone to a doctor's appointment. I heard her pull up and was heading down to tell her I was out of a job.…

Reporter Daniel Victor ran an embarrassing expose on….Elf on the Shelf in Sunday’s New York Times. “In a Tiny, Jolly Spy for Santa, Watchdogs Spot Big Brother.” But behind the silliness lurks a liberal bias. In the Biden Administration, the New York Times is abruptly rediscovering liberal virtues like free speech and privacy, concepts it denigrated for years in the quest of…

Sometime just over 2,000 years ago, contrary to the song, it was not a silent night. In Bethlehem, a young woman gave birth to a baby in a stable. The story went exactly as one would tell a story if one did not want the story taken seriously. The first witnesses were shepherds, men so unreliable that their testimony was inadmissible in court. Key eyewitnesses were women, also seen as…

It’s Episode Seventeen of MRC’s newest video series, CensorTrack with TR. This week we’re talking about how Big Tech is acting as the Grinch by censoring pro-Christian- and pro-Christmas-related content.

Progressives are miserable people Exhibit #784,963. The Washington Post sends out a morning newsletter called Opinions A.M. It’s got all the fascinating takes from Ruth Milbank and Sargent Rubin and E.J. Capehart. It also has guest opinions from experts and commentators who run the ideological gamut from left-wing to really left-wing, and the editors give big headline treatment to op-…

It makes sense that a man who wrote and sang a popular song celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ would celebrate all births. But it wasn’t always the case for Jose Feliciano, whose “Feliz Navidad” is a Christmastime staple.

It’s hard to locate anyone as bitter and cold as the co-hosts of MSNBC’s Morning Joe, but on Friday, they found politician in Canada who hates presents, singing, and laughter almost as much as they do.
