247 Years Ago Today on December 23, 1776 Thomas Paine Had This to Say About 'The American Crisis'

"THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated."

Luongo: No One Has Really Grokked How Big The Suez/Houthi Gambit Is

Everyone is just now waking up to the idea that global shipping is at risk here.

Currently, container ships are being attacked regularly with anti ship missiles and drones via the Houthi's (Iranian Proxies in Yemen). The USS Carney, an American destroyer, has been in the region responding to attacks and shooting stuff out of the air. They've seen more action on the water in weeks than the entire USN saw on the water during GWOT in 20 years.

Italian Legislation Aims to Punish Teachers Who Ban Nativity Scenes: 'Attack on the Deepest Values'

A bill introduced in the Italian Senate this week by members of Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's political party would punish teachers in the country who ban Nativity scenes in an attempt to keep from offending non-Christians.

STEVE'S TAKE: Will this even pass or is it another political stunt that sadly will go nowhere because the globalists will get in the way to stop it and sympathize with everybody but Christians.
