Who cares what Newsweek thinks.


People are using Merry Christmas more often as a backlash against political correctness.... good.

There was and is a war on everything traditional that this country stands for.

From the SJW's article...

Quote:
Trump isn’t the first political figure in history to co-opt Christmas. In fact, some see parallels between Trump’s speeches in front of Christmas trees and attempts by authoritarian regimes like the Nazis to manipulate popular celebrations to promote a political ideology.
Remember folks, even if you feel "ok" it's important to keep taking your meds anyway.

Exhibit A right there.

If you change "Trump's speeches" to "his speeches," then there are a full THIRTY (30) -- count 'em! -- words between "Trump" and "Nazis."


I'll tell you, Newsweek is really going soft on the guy . . .

The bathroom wars -- my philosophy is that if you were born with male body parts then you go in the men's bathroom.
How about the war on the 40 hour workweek. Corporate America loves to 'get more with less' as technology takes over jobs. Those who remain in many cases are working harder and longer than in the past.
