“ We know people may have made mistakes over the Thanksgiving time period , ” Dr. Birx scolded the nation on CBS ’ Face the Nation .
“ If you ’ re young and you gathered , you need to be tested about five to 10 days later .
But you need to assume that you ’ re infected.
” Then Birx made her own “ mistake ” .
After urging people not to “ go near your grandparents and aunts and others ” , and to stick to “ your immediate household ” , she headed off to her @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with members of a multigenerational family that encompasses three households across three states .
Americans have been told to follow the science , when they ought to be following the scientists .
Neil Ferguson , the British epidemiologist whose Imperial College model led to the UK lockdown , was forced to step down after having an affair with a married left-wing activist in violation of the lockdown guidelines , not to mention the currently much less important Judeo-Christian morality .
Ferguson claimed that he thought was immune from the virus .
And Dr. @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at a game between the Yankees and the Nationals , was photographed hanging out , mask lowered , in the stands next to a friend .
Fauci ’ s defense was the familiar one offered by Birx and Ferguson .
“ I was literally negative for COVID the day before , ” he snidely replied .
Ferguson had argued that he met up with his lover after testing positive and isolating for two weeks .
Birx claimed that she had stayed safe by getting tested on a regular basis .
Easy access to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pandemic , was a privilege that not that many had .
Elites saying that they could do as they pleased if they had been tested foreshadowed the vaccine debates in which some people will be able to live their lives freely while others will not .
But coronavirus tests are not bulletproof , as Fauci and Birx , better than anyone , ought to know .
It ’ s possible to test as negative and still have the virus .
And that ’ s especially true within the first few days of being @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was fine not to wear a mask because he had tested as negative the day before was either really stupid or really dishonest .
Politicians have spent the pandemic telling us that we have to “ follow the science ” , but they ’ ve been following the scientists .
And it might be time that the rest of the country did the same .
Birx , Fauci , and Ferguson calculated their own risks , and decided that their personal priorities , winterizing a house before a sale and spending time with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ out with a friend at a baseball game , or having an illicit affair were worth the risk .
Americans , Britons , and the people of the rest of the world ought to be able to do the same .
Managing the risks of viral infections , unlike researching the coronavirus , is not an esoteric field of study .
It does not require a PhD or twenty years of work talking down to politicians .
And having the degree doesn ’ t mean making good decisions .
Just ask Neil Ferguson @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is that people are able to make their own decisions .
Everything else is boilerplate .
It doesn ’ t matter how much governments pontificate about human rights , the rights of man , and the legacy of the Magna Carta and the Constitution , if they don ’ t actually let people make the most basic decisions about how to lead their own lives on an everyday basis .
The pandemic lockdowns didn ’ t come out of nowhere .
Long before the sad grim farce of loudspeakers blaring , “ We @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the proles while the elites headed off to their vacation homes and French Laundry dinners , the business of public health was about closely controlling what the masses did with their lives .
The war against smoking , then fat , salt , and soda , were all based on the unspoken assumption that people were too stupid to behave responsibly and someone had to do it for them .
The CDC was utterly inept at managing pandemics , but it spent much of its budget fighting obesity .
The critical difference @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that the former is a behavior while the latter is a virus .
Fighting a virus requires actual knowledge , skill , and ability , but fighting a behavior just means spending a lot of time scolding people and penalizing them .
Controlling a virus is hard , but controlling people seems a lot easier .
Faced with a deadly virus , the people whom the taxpayers had been paying a small fortune so that they can have houses in three different states didn ’ t fight the virus , they fought behaviors @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s handling of the pandemic , they aren ’ t criticising the amazing dispatch with which Operation Warp Speed produced vaccines , but his refusal to join them in scolding Americans for not wearing masks and for spending time with their families .
President Trump is being blamed for not being a Newsom , a Whitmer , or a Cuomo : a hypocrite .
Democrats aren ’ t impressed by the vaccines because for all their talk of following the science , the only sciences and diseases they ’ re interested in are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ vaccines at rapid speed doesn ’ t impress them .
Getting people to obey does .
The Trump administration treated the pandemic as a medical problem while the Democrats and their media treated it as a behavioral problem .
That ’ s why they ’ re still obsessed with getting everyone to wear masks long after the vaccine is here .
That ’ s not a triumph for medical science , but it is a tremendous victory for the social sciences of any aspiring Communist dictatorship .
The very term ‘ public health @ @ @ @ @ @ @ set of political priorities .
The scientific universe with its infinity of galaxies and microbes may appear to be a cold and inhuman place , but it has the virtue of offering perspective , while the pseudoscientific echo chamber of social science assumes that the universe revolves around human social inequities .
Its practitioners spout jargon , but are unequipped to tackle the problems of objective reality .
The problem is never objective reality , whether it ’ s the finite numbers of economics or the biology of a pandemic , instead the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to their betters .
Einstein didn ’ t believe he was immune from the laws of the universe , but the contemporary experts in the public eye tend to see social problems rather than objective universal laws .
And they are convinced that they are above those social problems on account of their superiority and therefore they can take risks that the rest of society is too ignorant to properly calculate .
Public health ’ s contempt for the good sense of the public led to this totalitarian two tier system .
A @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Birx should be able calculate their risk of having a fling , flinging a ball , or vacationing after Thanksgiving , like the rest of the country .
All Americans should be able to gauge the risk of spending time with loved ones , of having a sandwich and a soda , of exercising or not , and of living their lives without the constant scolding of hypocritical public health experts .
The public health industry has spent generations insisting that Americans can ’ t be trusted with what they eat .
Is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can ’ t be trusted to leave the house ?
The Founding Fathers did not overthrow the divine right of kings to replace it with the divine right of experts .
Instead , they replaced the divine right of kings with rights given by God .
An epidemiologist , a plumber , or a lawyer all have specialized knowledge and skills , but specialized knowledge and skills don ’ t mean better judgment .
As Fauci , Ferguson , and Birx demonstrated .
When it comes to money , love , and other @ @ @ @ @ @ @ beings .
A free society recognizes this basic human fallibility .
Only a totalitarian system insists on denying it .
America is not a nation of experts .
It ’ s a nation of the people , by the people , and for the people .
Every American has the same right to live their lives that Fauci and Birx do .
We won that right in the 18th century .
It would be a great tragedy if we were to lose it in the 21st century .

“We know people may have made mistakes over the Thanksgiving time period,” Dr. Birx scolded the nation on CBS’ Face the Nation. “If you’re young and you gathered, you need to be tested about five to 10 days later. But you need to assume that you’re infected.”
Then Birx made her own “mistake”.
After urging people not to “go near your grandparents and aunts and others”, and to stick to “your immediate household”, she headed off to her vacation home on a Delaware island along with members of a multigenerational family that encompasses three households across three states.
Americans have been told to follow the science, when they ought to be following the scientists.
Neil Ferguson, the British epidemiologist whose Imperial College model led to the UK lockdown, was forced to step down after having an affair with a married left-wing activist in violation of the lockdown guidelines, not to mention the currently much less important Judeo-Christian morality.
Ferguson claimed that he thought was immune from the virus.
And Dr. Fauci, after throwing out a pitch at a game between the Yankees and the Nationals, was photographed hanging out, mask lowered, in the stands next to a friend.
Fauci’s defense was the familiar one offered by Birx and Ferguson.
“I was literally negative for COVID the day before,” he snidely replied.
Ferguson had argued that he met up with his lover after testing positive and isolating for two weeks. Birx claimed that she had stayed safe by getting tested on a regular basis.
Easy access to tests, especially early on in the pandemic, was a privilege that not that many had. Elites saying that they could do as they pleased if they had been tested foreshadowed the vaccine debates in which some people will be able to live their lives freely while others will not.
But coronavirus tests are not bulletproof, as Fauci and Birx, better than anyone, ought to know. It’s possible to test as negative and still have the virus. And that’s especially true within the first few days of being infected. Fauci authoritatively declaring that it was fine not to wear a mask because he had tested as negative the day before was either really stupid or really dishonest.
Politicians have spent the pandemic telling us that we have to “follow the science”, but they’ve been following the scientists. And it might be time that the rest of the country did the same.
Birx, Fauci, and Ferguson calculated their own risks, and decided that their personal priorities, winterizing a house before a sale and spending time with family, sipping some water while hanging out with a friend at a baseball game, or having an illicit affair were worth the risk.
Americans, Britons, and the people of the rest of the world ought to be able to do the same.
Managing the risks of viral infections, unlike researching the coronavirus, is not an esoteric field of study. It does not require a PhD or twenty years of work talking down to politicians. And having the degree doesn’t mean making good decisions. Just ask Neil Ferguson.
The essence of a free country is that people are able to make their own decisions. Everything else is boilerplate. It doesn’t matter how much governments pontificate about human rights, the rights of man, and the legacy of the Magna Carta and the Constitution, if they don’t actually let people make the most basic decisions about how to lead their own lives on an everyday basis.
The pandemic lockdowns didn’t come out of nowhere.
Long before the sad grim farce of loudspeakers blaring, “We’re All In This Together” to the proles while the elites headed off to their vacation homes and French Laundry dinners, the business of public health was about closely controlling what the masses did with their lives.
The war against smoking, then fat, salt, and soda, were all based on the unspoken assumption that people were too stupid to behave responsibly and someone had to do it for them. The CDC was utterly inept at managing pandemics, but it spent much of its budget fighting obesity.
The critical difference between fighting obesity and a pandemic is that the former is a behavior while the latter is a virus. Fighting a virus requires actual knowledge, skill, and ability, but fighting a behavior just means spending a lot of time scolding people and penalizing them.
Controlling a virus is hard, but controlling people seems a lot easier.
Faced with a deadly virus, the people whom the taxpayers had been paying a small fortune so that they can have houses in three different states didn’t fight the virus, they fought behaviors.
When Democrats attack President Trump’s handling of the pandemic, they aren’t criticising the amazing dispatch with which Operation Warp Speed produced vaccines, but his refusal to join them in scolding Americans for not wearing masks and for spending time with their families.
President Trump is being blamed for not being a Newsom, a Whitmer, or a Cuomo: a hypocrite.
Democrats aren’t impressed by the vaccines because for all their talk of following the science, the only sciences and diseases they’re interested in are the social kind. Medical science developing vaccines at rapid speed doesn’t impress them. Getting people to obey does.
The Trump administration treated the pandemic as a medical problem while the Democrats and their media treated it as a behavioral problem. That’s why they’re still obsessed with getting everyone to wear masks long after the vaccine is here. That’s not a triumph for medical science, but it is a tremendous victory for the social sciences of any aspiring Communist dictatorship.
The very term ‘public health’ is revealing of this deeply distorted set of political priorities.
The scientific universe with its infinity of galaxies and microbes may appear to be a cold and inhuman place, but it has the virtue of offering perspective, while the pseudoscientific echo chamber of social science assumes that the universe revolves around human social inequities. Its practitioners spout jargon, but are unequipped to tackle the problems of objective reality.
The problem is never objective reality, whether it’s the finite numbers of economics or the biology of a pandemic, instead the problem is always getting people to listen to their betters.
Einstein didn’t believe he was immune from the laws of the universe, but the contemporary experts in the public eye tend to see social problems rather than objective universal laws. And they are convinced that they are above those social problems on account of their superiority and therefore they can take risks that the rest of society is too ignorant to properly calculate.
Public health’s contempt for the good sense of the public led to this totalitarian two tier system.
A Ferguson, a Fauci, or a Birx should be able calculate their risk of having a fling, flinging a ball, or vacationing after Thanksgiving, like the rest of the country. All Americans should be able to gauge the risk of spending time with loved ones, of having a sandwich and a soda, of exercising or not, and of living their lives without the constant scolding of hypocritical public health experts.
The public health industry has spent generations insisting that Americans can’t be trusted with what they eat. Is it any wonder that they believe Americans can’t be trusted to leave the house?
The Founding Fathers did not overthrow the divine right of kings to replace it with the divine right of experts. Instead, they replaced the divine right of kings with rights given by God. An epidemiologist, a plumber, or a lawyer all have specialized knowledge and skills, but specialized knowledge and skills don’t mean better judgment. As Fauci, Ferguson, and Birx demonstrated.
When it comes to money, love, and other people, we are all flawed human beings. A free society recognizes this basic human fallibility. Only a totalitarian system insists on denying it.
America is not a nation of experts. It’s a nation of the people, by the people, and for the people.
Every American has the same right to live their lives that Fauci and Birx do. We won that right in the 18th century. It would be a great tragedy if we were to lose it in the 21st century.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-12-24--I Would Rather Get Sick

I Would Rather Get Sick

I realize many people can not imagine anyone saying the words , “ I would rather get sick.
” However , it needs to be considered .
Our country has lost its way and COVID is only exposing our problems , it is not our main problem .
Frankly , it is not even worthy of being considered a problem .
America ’ s problem is that they do not care if they are ethical .
They do not care if the elected people lie to them , and they do not care if doctors lie to them .
America @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that was not true , the media would not be as deceptive as the media is .
One example of America ’ s problem that involves all those things is the current propaganda campaign for the COVID vaccine .
In my last article , I wrote about how several Covid-19 Vaccines are made using fetal cells .
The article came from Dr. Joseph Mercola and did a great job of explaining the use of murdered babies in the vaccine process .
The fact that there is such little outrage , and such silence @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and need to come back to God .
How can you be about to celebrate the birth of Christ , and have no concern if the vaccines being used in the name of COVID , have used aborted babies in their production ?
You celebrate Christ ’ s birth and then seek to benefit from other babies not being allowed to be born .
This disgusts me to such a point that I wonder if I can continue to be an Emergency Medical Technician .
How can I stay in a health care @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Hitler and the Nazis did not use the Jews they killed as ingredients in their medical procedures .
Donald Trump and America ’ s Christians should be ashamed of having aborted babies in their vaccines , and being worse than the Nazis .
Donald Trump is bragging endlessly and taking credit for the vaccines and yet , he is silent on the use of murdered babies as part of the vaccines .
So as long as these pharmaceutical companies benefit Trump with the murdered babies , abortion becomes okay ?
I am glad @ @ @ @ @ @ @ astray , and I would rather have pro-abortion Joe than have a claim to be against abortion Don , but use the murders of the babies for his benefit Trump .
We are not going to make America great again by being so afraid of COVID that we stand by and allow these kind of atrocities to continue .
All these so-called pro-life Republicans , parading up to get their vaccines , and at the same time failing their moral duty to speak out against the taking of innocent life for the vaccine @ @ @ @ @ @ @ saying they do not know what is in the vaccine makes it worse .
Whatever happened to better safe than sorry ?
Christians are claiming we should wear a mask that does not stop viruses in the name of being moral and yet , they are not concerned if a baby was killed to make their vaccine .
As I said , COVID is not our problem .
America ’ s lack of morality is the problem .
Besides standing by and allowing babies to be killed and used for their benefit , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people ’ s finances are being killed .
They are also standing by while the elderly are being tortured .
They are standing by while children are suffering .
Putting masks on children is child abuse .
Conservatives like to complain about the Muslims and how their women dress , and then the conservatives put masks on their own children without asking if it does harm .
I have never seen more reckless behavior than what is going on now .
In the name of people not getting sick , we are self-destructing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ self-destructing as they worship avoiding illness more than they worship God .
They pray for a vaccine , ignoring that the pharmaceutical companies have no problem profiting from aborted babies that were cruelly murdered .
Praying for God to help the devil do evil to benefit you is an insult to God .
We need to come together as Christians .
We need to repent to God for what we have done and for what we have left undone .
We need to tell the healthcare industry that if they do not change @ @ @ @ @ @ @ our money .
I would rather be sick than get any help from a doctor who profits from abortion , even if the doctor launders the money .
We need to organize and speak out .
We need to refuse to obey immoral orders by unlawful governors .
We need to do more than whine .
We need actions and not words .

I realize many people cannot imagine anyone saying the words, “I would rather get sick.” However, it needs to be considered. Our country has lost its way and COVID is only exposing our problems, it is not our main problem. Frankly, it is not even worthy of being considered a problem. America’s problem is that they do not care if they are ethical. They do not care if the elected people lie to them, and they do not care if doctors lie to them. America is just fine with deception and if that was not true, the media would not be as deceptive as the media is.

You celebrate Christ’s birth and then seek to benefit from other babies not being allowed to be born.

Donald Trump is bragging endlessly and taking credit for the vaccines and yet, he is silent on the use of murdered babies as part of the vaccines. So as long as these pharmaceutical companies benefit Trump with the murdered babies, abortion becomes okay? I am glad Trump lost. He is leading Christians astray, and I would rather have pro-abortion Joe than have a claim to be against abortion Don, but use the murders of the babies for his benefit Trump.
We are not going to make America great again by being so afraid of COVID that we stand by and allow these kind of atrocities to continue. All these so-called pro-life Republicans, parading up to get their vaccines, and at the same time failing their moral duty to speak out against the taking of innocent life for the vaccine they are getting. Playing stupid and saying they do not know what is in the vaccine makes it worse. Whatever happened to better safe than sorry? Christians are claiming we should wear a mask that does not stop viruses in the name of being moral and yet, they are not concerned if a baby was killed to make their vaccine. As I said, COVID is not our problem. America’s lack of morality is the problem.
Besides standing by and allowing babies to be killed and used for their benefit, Americans are standing by while millions of people’s finances are being killed. They are also standing by while the elderly are being tortured. They are standing by while children are suffering. Putting masks on children is child abuse. Conservatives like to complain about the Muslims and how their women dress, and then the conservatives put masks on their own children without asking if it does harm.
I have never seen more reckless behavior than what is going on now. In the name of people not getting sick, we are self-destructing as a country. The churches are self-destructing as they worship avoiding illness more than they worship God. They pray for a vaccine, ignoring that the pharmaceutical companies have no problem profiting from aborted babies that were cruelly murdered. Praying for God to help the devil do evil to benefit you is an insult to God.
We need to come together as Christians. We need to repent to God for what we have done and for what we have left undone. We need to tell the healthcare industry that if they do not change their ways, they will not get our money. I would rather be sick than get any help from a doctor who profits from abortion, even if the doctor launders the money. We need to organize and speak out. We need to refuse to obey immoral orders by unlawful governors. We need to do more than whine. We need actions and not words.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-12-24--The Birth Of Christ & The Birth Of America Are Linked

As tomorrow is the day in which we commemorate the virgin birth of the Lord Jesus Christ , I am reminded of a quote by John Quincy Adams .
On July 4 , 1837 , he spoke these words : Why is it that , next to the birth day of the Savior of the world , your most joyous and most venerated festival returns on this day ?
.
.
.
Is it not that , in the chain of human events , the birthday of the nation is indissolubly linked with the birthday of the Savior ?
That @ @ @ @ @ @ @ progress of the Gospel dispensation ?
Is it not that the Declaration of Independence first organized the social compact on the foundation of the Redeemer ’ s mission upon earth ?
That it laid the cornerstone of human government upon the first precepts of Christianity , and gave to the world the first irrevocable pledge of the fulfillment of the prophecies announced directly from Heaven at the birth of the Savior and predicted by the greatest of the Hebrew prophets six hundred years before ?
Adams was exactly right .
The United States @ @ @ @ @ @ @ human history established by mostly Christian people , founded upon 2,000 years of Christian thought , Reformation preaching and Biblical Natural Law principles—and dedicated to the purpose of religious and personal liberty and equal justice under the law .
This truth is easily observed within America ’ s earliest history .
America ’ s forebears first established a written covenant with God as early as November 11 , 1620 , when they penned The Mayflower Compact .

From the beginning , the sentiments and statements of America ’ s founders make it clear that this country has enjoyed a love and appreciation for the rights and freedoms recognized in Natural Law that is unique in the annals of human history .
No other nation has such a heritage .
The Declaration of Independence states , “ [ Men ] @ @ @ @ @ @ @ unalienable Rights , that among these are Life , Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
” It also states that these rights are “ self-evident ” and that they were formed by the “ Laws of Nature.
” These principles are also taken directly from the Scriptures—and from Natural Law fathers such as Hugo Grotius , John Locke , Samuel Von Pufendorf , Emer de Vattel and Charles Montesquieu .
Furthermore , one can not read what these men wrote without quickly observing that they formed their writings largely on the Scriptures .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ could have never imagined that individual states would deny their citizens the right to bear arms .
They could have never dreamed that the American people would be denied the right to be free from warrantless searches—which takes place every day throughout this country .

As tomorrow is the day in which we commemorate the virgin birth of the Lord Jesus Christ, I am reminded of a quote by John Quincy Adams. On July 4, 1837, he spoke these words:
Why is it that, next to the birth day of the Savior of the world, your most joyous and most venerated festival returns on this day? . . . Is it not that, in the chain of human events, the birthday of the nation is indissolubly linked with the birthday of the Savior? That it forms a leading event in the progress of the Gospel dispensation? Is it not that the Declaration of Independence first organized the social compact on the foundation of the Redeemer’s mission upon earth? That it laid the cornerstone of human government upon the first precepts of Christianity, and gave to the world the first irrevocable pledge of the fulfillment of the prophecies announced directly from Heaven at the birth of the Savior and predicted by the greatest of the Hebrew prophets six hundred years before?
Adams was exactly right. The United States of America is the only nation in human history established by mostly Christian people, founded upon 2,000 years of Christian thought, Reformation preaching and Biblical Natural Law principles—and dedicated to the purpose of religious and personal liberty and equal justice under the law. This truth is easily observed within America’s earliest history.
America’s forebears first established a written covenant with God as early as November 11, 1620, when they penned The Mayflower Compact. It states in part:
In the name of God, Amen. . . . Having undertaken, for the glory of God, and advancement of the Christian faith and honour of our king and country, a voyage to plant the first colonie in the Northern parts of Virginia, do by these presents solemnly and mutually in the presence of God, and one of another, covenant, and combine our selves together into a civil body politick; for our better ordering, and preservation and furtherance of the ends aforesaid; and by virtue hereof to enact, constitute, and frame such just and equal laws, ordinances, Acts, constitutions and offices, from time to time, as shall be thought most meet and convenient for the general good of the colonie: unto which we promise all due submission and obedience.
From the beginning, the sentiments and statements of America’s founders make it clear that this country has enjoyed a love and appreciation for the rights and freedoms recognized in Natural Law that is unique in the annals of human history. No other nation has such a heritage.
The Declaration of Independence states, “[Men] are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” It also states that these rights are “self-evident” and that they were formed by the “Laws of Nature.”
These principles are also taken directly from the Scriptures—and from Natural Law fathers such as Hugo Grotius, John Locke, Samuel Von Pufendorf, Emer de Vattel and Charles Montesquieu. Furthermore, one cannot read what these men wrote without quickly observing that they formed their writings largely on the Scriptures.
The signers of our Declaration of Independence could have never imagined that individual states would deny their citizens the right to bear arms. They could have never dreamed that the American people would be denied the right to be free from warrantless searches—which takes place every day throughout this country.
I am also confident that America’s founders would be completely repulsed by the way the United States has jumped headlong into welfarism, corporatism and Zionism. At the national level, Democrats and Republicans alike have created a central government so large that it would be unrecognizable to any founding father—even Alexander Hamilton.
Big Business sucks feverishly at the teat of Big Government; the major media has become little more than a propaganda ministry of Big Government; corporate 501c3 churches view Big Government as a god to be worshipped and subjugated by; and America (including and especially its Christians and churches) seems to be drunk on the perpetual wars and entangling alliances of the neocon Warfare State.
And over the last nine months, we have learned that a vast percentage of the American people (including and especially its Christians and churches) are more than willing to submit to the most unconstitutional, tyrannical and devilish dictates imaginable, when they are couched under the guise of medical safety. More than anything else, the phony corona pandemic has proven that a host of Americans are already slaves in their souls.
Surely, our Founding Fathers must be turning over in their graves.
Therefore, it behooves us to recommit ourselves to our nation’s founding principles.
Furthermore, let us renew with vigor the fight for freedom before our liberties and heritage disappear altogether.
John Quincy Adams was right. The birth of Christ and the birth of America are indissolubly linked.
Merry Christmas, America.
P.S. Let me remind readers that December 31, 2020, is the deadline to purchase tickets for our Liberty Fellowship 10th Anniversary Banquet, Conference and celebration activities, January 22 – 24, 2021.

Rand Paul Exposes $55 Billion In Government Waste:  ‘Smart Toilets,’ Afghan Book Clubs, & Lizard Treadmills

Following in the footsteps of his father , though definitely not his father , and in the path of former Senator Tom Coburn , Kentucky Senator Rand Paul just exposed $ 55 billion in wasteful , unconstitutional spending that included , among other things , “ smart toilets , ” Afghan book clubs and lizard treadmills .
Keep in mind that this is all going on while America has been economically crippled and spent further and further into debt , and thus , enslavement .
• Congress Advocates Socialism In COVID Bill – Trump Ups Them With More Money • @ @ @ @ @ @ @ – Demands More Socialism With $ 2,000 Checks Instead Of $ 600 • Not Enough Socialism !
President Trump Blasts Congress For Not Giving Significantly Larger Checks To Americans • America ’ s Representatives Are Again Passing Unconstitutional Bills With Billions Going To Foreign Countries • More Socialism : Congress Set To Unlawfully Steal & Devalue Your Money , Redistribute It , & Fund All Sorts Of Unconstitutional Items Just In Time To Save Their Own Necks Everybody celebrates the holiday season in their own way .

Following in the footsteps of his father, though definitely not his father, and in the path of former Senator Tom Coburn, Kentucky Senator Rand Paul just exposed $55 billion in wasteful, unconstitutional spending that included, among other things, “smart toilets,” Afghan book clubs and lizard treadmills.
Keep in mind that this is all going on while America has been economically crippled and spent further and further into debt, and thus, enslavement.
Brad Polumbo at Foundation for Economic Education reports:
Everybody celebrates the holiday season in their own way. Each year, Senator Rand Paul invokes the spirit of the fictional grievance-airing holiday “Festivus” from Seinfeld to release an annual taxpayer waste report—and boy, is this one a doozy.
The libertarian-leaning Kentucky lawmaker’s report for 2020 finds an astounding $54.7 billion wasted by the federal government this year. (That’s not even an exhaustive figure for the federal government, nor does it account for the vast levels of waste by state and local governments.)
To put the nearly $55 billion wasted in context, Paul’s office explains that this is equivalent to wasting the taxes of more than 5.4 million Americans. It’s enough money to build a two-lane road that wraps around the entire Earth—18 times over. It’s enough money to buy every American a 40-inch flat-screen TV .
Yes, seriously.
Yesterday, I published my #Festivus waste report, which highlighted $54 billion in truly outlandish waste in government. — Senator Rand Paul (@RandPaul) December 23, 2020
Paul’s report cites far too many examples to list in one article, but even a cursory glance at some of its most prominent revelations will leave any honest taxpayer infuriated.
According to the senator’s report, the National Institutes of Health spent millions studying if people will eat bugs and millions more trying to invent a “smart toilet.” The federal agency also spent millions trying to reduce hookah smoking rates among Eastern Mediterranean youth and $31.5 million to fund an allegedly faked study linking e-cigarettes to heart attacks.
Yet perhaps the most bizarre examples of how politicians spend our taxpayer money come from how the government uses it overseas.
We spent $8.6 billion on anti-drug efforts in Afghanistan, the report finds. Hundreds of thousands went to art classes for Kenyans, Afghan and Pakistani book clubs, and funding for Sri Lankan think tanks. In a truly baffling example, tens of millions were spent to combat truancy… in the Philippines.
Oh, and of course, we spent taxpayer money to put lizards on treadmills and study the results.
Researchers spent funds from National Science Foundation grants worth $1,557,083.00 to walk lizards on a treadmill. Read more here: https://t.co/BU1CjiZdgS pic.twitter.com/JpYNdGij92 — Senator Rand Paul (@RandPaul) December 23, 2020
The military wasted lots of taxpayer money too, Paul’s report reveals.
It allegedly lost $715 million worth of equipment that was intended for Syrians to use to fight ISIS. Meanwhile, $174 million went to lost drones in Afghanistan, and we spent $3.1 million on a police complex that now sits unused.
So what can be done to stop all this waste? It would simply require voters to hold Congress’s feet to the fire and force them to actually hold agencies accountable for how taxpayer money is spent.
“Congress has every tool it needs to fight and end government waste,” Paul said. “It’s just a matter of finding the willpower to use them.”
Unfortunately, fiscally responsible politicians like Paul are the exception, not the rule. As Nobel-prize-winning economist Milton Friedman famously explained, government spending is inherently prone to waste. Why?
You can spend your money on yourself, in which case you’ll be quite judicious with it. You can also spend your money on someone else, or someone else’s money on yourself. In either case you’ll still have a strong incentive to spend the money responsibly.
Yet Friedman identified a fourth scenario.
“If I spend somebody else’s money on somebody else, I’m not concerned about how much it is, and I’m not concerned about what I get,” the economist wrote. “And that’s government.”
So, there’s only one way to truly limit government waste of taxpayer dollars. We have to limit the scope of government itself.
Well, we did limit the scope of government in the US Constitution. Sadly, Americans know very little of the scope and limitations of the government. However, while ignorance can be cured, stupidity cannot. If you are merely ignorant, might I suggest the following articles to get a basic grasp on the limits of American government.

More than 100 years ago, enemies laid down their weapons and came out of the trenches to celebrate Christmas. It became known as the 1914 Christmas Truce, and it was indeed a miracle. On this Christmas Day 2020, I’d like to recount that miracle with a past piece from my friend Ileana Johnson.
Johnson writes:
One hundred years ago, on Christmas Eve, in a muddy and cold place near Ploegsteert, on the WWI front between Belgium and France, surrounded by no-man’s land littered with barbed wire and dead bodies, German and Allied soldiers climbed from their trenches to celebrate Christmas in what became to be known as the Christmas Truce.
It was a spontaneous rise of humanity celebrating their common Christian roots and faith. German soldiers placed makeshift Christmas trees on the bulwark.
Historian Stanley Weintraub wrote in his book, Silent Night , how soldiers, after agreeing not to shoot each other, sang carols in an odd fraternity of inveterate enemies turned into momentary friends by their common belief in God and the tradition of Christmas, Christmas caroling, and Christmas trees. Shaking hands, in the old Germanic tradition of showing that they were not armed, they shared cigarettes and food.
Extending the truce into Christmas Day, the combatants were able to dig graves, bury their dead, and hold memorials. Weintraub mentioned that one Scottish chaplain recited during the memorial the 23rd Psalm in two languages.
“The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters…” “Der HERR is mein Hirte; mir wird nichts mangeln. Er weidet mich auf greener Aue und fuehret mich…”
The chaplain was chastised by his Bishop who thought the role of the clergy in war was to drive the soldiers into battle and to tend to their passage into God’s kingdom.
Christmas 1914 became a day of fellowship, sharing food, trading uniform buttons, and playing soccer, a sliver of normalcy in a cruel and unnecessary war.
According to Weintraub, “No one there wanted to continue the war.” Threatened by senior officers, the troops returned to fighting, “went on with the grim business at hand.”
Remembering the truce in diaries and in letters sent home to their families, soldiers described those moments in time as a “marvelously wonderful” Christmas yet a very “strange” event. German and British troops even posed for pictures together.
It was a strange event because Germans, French, and British soldiers were killing each other a few hours earlier, yet for one day, they were celebrating the birth of our savior in the anemic glow of the lit Christmas tree, casting an illuminating shadow over the muddy trenches, their misery, cold, and pain. They were a group of men fighting for the economic cause of greedy elites who were home warm and cozy with their families, celebrating Christmas, while these grunts were dying for nothing.
Director Christian Carion portrayed the truce incident in his award-winning 2005 movie, Joyeux Noel , but on a much larger scale than it actually happened.

World War I was a cruel trench conflict, a special kind of hell on earth, when enemies dug themselves into trenches within earshot of each other, and barbed wire in-between. Soldiers were ordered from time to time over the top, to stand up and advance, which caused them to be swiftly mowed down by machine gun fire. And if machine gun fire did not kill them, they were gassed to death in their muddy trenches, where bits of bones and strips of uniform mingled with the wall supports around the frightened and shivering soldiers, praying to survive.
It is very likely that the men who enjoyed this moment of peace during an expression of the civilized “brotherhood of men” on Christmas Day 1914, died shortly afterwards in the sacrificial gun battles or by poison gas grenade explosions.
Christmas is our beloved tradition that no war or atheist will be able to obliterate. No commercialized elf on the shelf or Kwanza can squash and transform the meaning of Christmas.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-12-25--These Governors Freed the Criminals & Killed the Elderly

In March , Governor Cuomo ’ s administration ordered nursing homes to accept infected coronavirus patients and prohibited even testing incoming patients for the virus .
The same month that Cuomo began the process of infecting countless nursing home residents with the virus , he also began freeing thousands of criminals from prison to protect them from the virus .
Over 3,000 criminals have been freed from New York State prisons to protect them from the virus , and New York City ’ s Mayor Bill de Blasio freed 1,500 criminals , and they swiftly began committing a variety of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ claiming that prison was a death sentence and a campaign by woke celebs like John Legend , criminals were not at risk .
Only 19 inmates in New York State actually died of the virus .
Meanwhile , an estimated 11,000 nursing home patients have died of the virus statewide .
Unlike the prison numbers , which are easily accessible , the Cuomo administration has stonewalled and refused to provide the actual number of deaths , instead offering only an incomplete listing of only those nursing home residents who died in the actual @ @ @ @ @ @ @ care to protect criminals , very few of whom died of the virus , he condemned thousands of nursing home patients to a slow and miserable death .
And the media and celebrities who advocated for rapists and killers showed no interest in their fate .
But it wasn ’ t just Cuomo .
In California , Governor Newsom ordered skilled nursing facilities to accept infected patients .
The next month , 3,500 criminals were freed .
By the fall , over 9,000 criminals had been freed , with a plan to release @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an ACLU lawsuit , Orange County was ordered to free 1,800 violent inmates whom Sheriff Barnes described as “ people in for very serious offenses — murder , attempted murder , domestic violence.
” 96 California State prison inmates have died in the pandemic alongside an official death toll of 5,940 nursing home residents .
But the lives of nearly 6,000 nursing home patients mattered less than the lives of 96 criminals .
New Jersey released 2,258 criminals in one day to slow the spread of the virus .
“ Since the beginning @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has worked tirelessly to save as many lives as possible , ” Governor Phil Murphy falsely claimed .
Then he bragged that , “ the population in State correctional facilities has decreased by nearly 3,000 people.
” This wasn ’ t good enough for Senator Booker who demanded that Murphy release more criminals , claiming that he could “ save the lives of tens of thousands ” of criminals .
Just not of their victims .
Only 52 criminals in New Jersey custody have actually died of the virus .
The former Goldman @ @ @ @ @ @ @ politics by buying an ambassadorship from Obama was far less compassionate to the elderly than he was to his own kind .
His administration signed a death sentence for thousands of senior citizens by ordering nursing homes to accept infected patients and banned them from using coronavirus tests .
Over 7,400 nursing home residents died of the pandemic in New Jersey .
Some of the hardest hit residents were veterans living in nursing homes managed by the New Jersey government .
Governor Pritzker in Illinois released around 4,000 criminals from prison , including @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Proclamation that he used to lock residents in their homes , while failing to notify their victims .
Only 50 prison inmates actually died in Illinois .
But recently 605 nursing home residents died in Illinois… in just 7 days .
7,559 nursing home residents have died in the pandemic in Illinois amounting to over 50 % of the state ’ s death toll .
Criminals only account for 0.3 % of the state ’ s death toll .
But while Pritzker was freeing criminals , he funneled infected coronavirus patients into nursing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ over nursing home residents , releasing the former to protect them from getting the virus while locking up the latter with the virus .
Had the Democrats set out to deliberately kill 100,000 senior citizens , they couldn ’ t have done a better job than the policies enacted by the Cuomo , Newsom , Murphy , Whitmer , Wolf , Pritzker , and other Democrat administrations .
And now that the vaccine is being rolled out , the welfare of criminals remains a top priority .
Rep. Ayanna Pressley , a member @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fight , “ for incarcerated men and women to be prioritized in the distribution of the vaccine.
” A report by the National Academies of Sciences , Engineering , and Medicine being utilized by the CDC recommended placing criminals and homeless vagrants in phase 1b , the second phase , alongside nursing home residents , as if their risk or moral standing were equivalent .
D.C. and a number of states are indeed putting criminals ahead of much of the population .
But after all the agonizing from Democrats , activists , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 149 federal inmates out of 124,538 , and 551 state prison inmates out of some 1.2 million died .
In 2016 , 4,117 criminals had died in federal and state prisons .
The only prison coronavirus crisis was caused by the release of criminals back onto the street .
The plight of criminals facing coronavirus in prison has led to celebrity awareness campaigns , protests with lefty activists chanting , “ Free Them All ” , massive media coverage that describes every prison death as another “ grim milestone ” , and special @ @ @ @ @ @ @ judges on behalf of the worst people in our society outside of politics and the press .
Meanwhile , the deaths of 113,981 nursing home patients , a true grim milestone , have passed unnoticed with no word from any celebrity , no protest , and hardly a whisper .
Democrat governors not only haven ’ t intervened on their behalf , but helped kill them .
New York , New Jersey , Pennsylvania , Illinois , Michigan , and California , the states run by Cuomo , Murphy , Wolf , Pritzker @ @ @ @ @ @ @ patients into nursing homes , account for some 40,000 deaths among nursing home patients .
These numbers are incomplete because of the deliberate obstruction of some of these administrations , notably those of Cuomo , Murphy , and Pritzker , when providing accurate and comprehensive statistics of these deaths .
While Democrats fought to help criminals , they neglected and killed the elderly .
The media has run more high profile coverage of the deaths of a few hundred criminals in custody , out of millions , than of the deaths of 113,981 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it urgently warns that the criminals are in danger and must be freed before they all die .
Certainly , it insists , they should be early in line for the vaccine even though very few criminals have died .
The true story of the pandemic ’ s grim milestone is that the Democrats freed the criminals to protect them from the virus and locked nursing home patients , who were the most vulnerable , in with those infected with the virus .
Now they want to prioritize criminals for the vaccine .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ pro-crime felon voting laws sweep the nation , the Democrats are fighting to keep their voting base of criminals free , while killing the elderly who are more likely to be conservative .

In March, Governor Cuomo’s administration ordered nursing homes to accept infected coronavirus patients and prohibited even testing incoming patients for the virus.

While Governor Cuomo took great care to protect criminals, very few of whom died of the virus, he condemned thousands of nursing home patients to a slow and miserable death. And the media and celebrities who advocated for rapists and killers showed no interest in their fate.
But it wasn’t just Cuomo.
In California, Governor Newsom ordered skilled nursing facilities to accept infected patients. The next month, 3,500 criminals were freed. By the fall, over 9,000 criminals had been freed, with a plan to release as many as 17,600 criminals.

The plight of criminals facing coronavirus in prison has led to celebrity awareness campaigns, protests with lefty activists chanting, “Free Them All”, massive media coverage that describes every prison death as another “grim milestone”, and special interventions by governors, mayors, and judges on behalf of the worst people in our society outside of politics and the press.
Meanwhile, the deaths of 113,981 nursing home patients, a true grim milestone, have passed unnoticed with no word from any celebrity, no protest, and hardly a whisper.
Democrat governors not only haven’t intervened on their behalf, but helped kill them.
New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Michigan, and California, the states run by Cuomo, Murphy, Wolf, Pritzker, and Newsom, who pushed infected patients into nursing homes, account for some 40,000 deaths among nursing home patients. These numbers are incomplete because of the deliberate obstruction of some of these administrations, notably those of Cuomo, Murphy, and Pritzker, when providing accurate and comprehensive statistics of these deaths.
While Democrats fought to help criminals, they neglected and killed the elderly.
The media has run more high profile coverage of the deaths of a few hundred criminals in custody, out of millions, than of the deaths of 113,981 nursing home patients. And even now it urgently warns that the criminals are in danger and must be freed before they all die. Certainly, it insists, they should be early in line for the vaccine even though very few criminals have died.
The true story of the pandemic’s grim milestone is that the Democrats freed the criminals to protect them from the virus and locked nursing home patients, who were the most vulnerable, in with those infected with the virus. Now they want to prioritize criminals for the vaccine.
And that stands to reason.
As pro-crime felon voting laws sweep the nation, the Democrats are fighting to keep their voting base of criminals free, while killing the elderly who are more likely to be conservative.
They didn’t mismanage a pandemic. They managed a political genocide.

Some Republican Senators Are on Board With Electoral College Challenge: Rep. Taylor-Greene
By Jack Phillips, The Epoch Times, December 23, 2020:
Rep.-elect Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) said that some Republican senators will join an effort to challenge Electoral College votes when the Joint Session of Congress meets on Jan. 6.
The process requires one senator and one House representative to initiate. Other than Taylor-Greene, Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.) and a number of GOP House lawmakers have pledged they would challenge the votes.
“We have a very strong case, and our numbers are growing strong,” she said Tuesday on Newsmax of the effort. “We talked to senators and we’re good to go for this objection.”
Taylor-Greene did not say what senators would join the challenge. Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and Sen.-elect Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) have both suggested they might get involved, but there has been no public confirmation.
When an objection is filed during the Joint Session of Congress for key states that cast Electoral College votes for Joe Biden, each chamber would have to hold a debate for two hours on whether to disqualify a state’s votes. Then, a vote would have to be held in each chamber on whether to throw them out.
Taylor-Greene, meanwhile, added that she spoke with President Donald Trump about possibly challenging the votes, saying, “I didn’t run for Congress to sit by and be quiet, so I called the president.”
“I support him, I voted for him, just like everyone else and I’m happy to support him in this trying time,” she said.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has reportedly told GOP senators not to partake in the challenge, while the No. 2 Republican in the Senate, Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.), told reporters that it’s likely to fail.
Thune said he heard of no Republicans willing to join the Rep. Brooks-led effort.
“In the Senate, it would go down like a shot dog,” Thune told reporters. “And I just don’t think it makes a lot of sense to put everybody through this when you know what the ultimate outcome is going to be.”
Other than Brooks and Taylor-Greene, Rep. Jody Hice (R-Ga.), Rep. Lance Gooden (R-Texas), Rep.-elect Madison Cawthorn (R-N.C.), Rep. Brian Babin (R-Texas), Rep. Ted Budd (R-N.C.), Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.), and others said they would join.
“We must stand up for the tens of millions of Americans who want answers to the irregularities surrounding this election,” Gooden said in his letter to Sens. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and John Cornyn (R-Texas). “It is our duty to ensure the integrity of our election is unwavering, and the American people deserve to feel confident their vote matters.”
Babin wrote that if Congress doesn’t investigate alleged voter fraud, he would object to the results. Around two-dozen Republicans in the House signed his letter.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-12-25--Santa Claus Does Not Exist – And Children Deserve To Know The Truth

Santa Claus Does Not Exist – And Children Deserve To Know The Truth Once a child figures out that you have been lying about Santa Claus for years , how can you expect that child to believe you about anything else ?
Many regard the tradition of pretending that Santa Claus is real to be relatively harmless , but the reality of the matter is that millions upon millions of Americans have deep psychological scars from being deceived throughout childhood only to find out later in life that everything that they believed about Santa was completely fake .
Perhaps it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with the minds of their children , but those children do not benefit from investing a tremendous amount of emotional energy into a completely fraudulent narrative that will be cruelly ripped away from them at some point in the future .
Our children deserve to know the truth , and the truth is that Santa Claus does not exist .
Sadly , instead of urging parents to tell their children the facts about Santa from the beginning , many mental health professionals continue to give out advice about when it is the “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s no Santa Claus ” .
For example , the following comes from WebMD… In other words , try to break it to your kids gently that you have been blatantly lying to them for their entire lives .
And once a child realizes that you have been lying about Santa for so many years , they will naturally wonder what else you have been lying about .
In particular , many kids may begin to have doubts about God once they realize that everything they learned about Santa was entirely untrue @ @ @ @ @ @ @ knows everything and that he keeps track of the good things people do and the bad things people do .
Well , so does God .
We tell our children that Santa never changes and that he will always be there for them year after year .
The same is true for God .
We tell our children that Santa gives gifts and that we should bring our requests to him .
The same is true for God .
We tell our children that even though it is literally impossible for a person @ @ @ @ @ @ @ planet in one night , Santa can do it because Santa is “ everywhere ” .
The same is true for God .
We tell our children that Santa is only good and that he would never do anything bad .
The same is true for God .
Every December we teach our children to sing songs about a jolly old man with a long white beard that we can ’ t see , and we tell them to have faith that he will provide all that we need .
Of course , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ long white beard , and we are also told to trust Him with our needs .
I could go on and on , but I think that you get the point .
If you lie to your children about Santa Claus , why should they believe anything that you have to tell them about God ?
Others have pointed out that the Santa myth actually has a lot of similarities to another prominent figure in the Bible as well .
Here is one example… Over the years , many have noted that “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ use the exact same letters .
Are you sure that is just a coincidence ?
From a historical standpoint , our modern Santa Claus comes from drawings by a cartoonist named Thomas Nast in the mid-1800s , and those drawings were based on the way Santa Claus was described in an 1823 poem entitled “ A Visit From St. Nicholas ” by Clarence Clement Moore .

If you are a parent , I would encourage you to tell your children the truth from the very beginning @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and believing in him is not going to do anyone any good .

Once a child figures out that you have been lying about Santa Claus for years, how can you expect that child to believe you about anything else? Many regard the tradition of pretending that Santa Claus is real to be relatively harmless, but the reality of the matter is that millions upon millions of Americans have deep psychological scars from being deceived throughout childhood only to find out later in life that everything that they believed about Santa was completely fake.

Our children deserve to know the truth, and the truth is that Santa Claus does not exist.
Sadly, instead of urging parents to tell their children the facts about Santa from the beginning, many mental health professionals continue to give out advice about when it is the “right time to tell kids that there’s no Santa Claus”. For example, the following comes from WebMD…
“There’s really no one right time to tell kids that there’s no Santa Claus,” says Glen Elliott, Ph.D. Elliott is an associate professor and the Director of the Department of Child and Adolescent Psychology at the University of California, San Francisco. “The important thing is to take your cues from the child, and not try to prolong the fantasy for your own enjoyment when they may be ready to give it up.”
In other words, try to break it to your kids gently that you have been blatantly lying to them for their entire lives.
And once a child realizes that you have been lying about Santa for so many years, they will naturally wonder what else you have been lying about.
In particular, many kids may begin to have doubts about God once they realize that everything they learned about Santa was entirely untrue.

We tell our children that even though it is literally impossible for a person to visit every home on the entire planet in one night, Santa can do it because Santa is “everywhere”.
The same is true for God.
We tell our children that Santa is only good and that he would never do anything bad.
The same is true for God.
Every December we teach our children to sing songs about a jolly old man with a long white beard that we can’t see, and we tell them to have faith that he will provide all that we need.
Of course, God is often portrayed as having a long white beard, and we are also told to trust Him with our needs.
I could go on and on, but I think that you get the point.
If you lie to your children about Santa Claus, why should they believe anything that you have to tell them about God?
Others have pointed out that the Santa myth actually has a lot of similarities to another prominent figure in the Bible as well. Here is one example…
Consider the evidence: Santa wears red; the Devil is red. Santa is known, alternatively, as St. Nick; one of the Devil’s jocular pseudonyms, in England, is Old Nick. Both are associated with the element of fire (by way of the chimney, in Santa’s case; a little closer to home, in Satan’s case); both live in the far antipodes. (Incidentally, in Dante’s Divine Comedy, the ninth and lowermost circle of hell where Lucifer is imprisoned for eternity isn’t the Mother of All Barbecue Pits, as in the pop imagination, but an icy wasteland—just like the arctic Santa calls home. Oh, and Dante’s Devil is seriously furry, calling to mind the Santa of Clement Clarke Moore’s “A Visit From St. Nicholas,” who is “dressed all in fur from his head to his foot.”)
Over the years, many have noted that “Santa” and “Satan” both use the exact same letters.
Are you sure that is just a coincidence?
From a historical standpoint, our modern Santa Claus comes from drawings by a cartoonist named Thomas Nast in the mid-1800s, and those drawings were based on the way Santa Claus was described in an 1823 poem entitled “A Visit From St. Nicholas” by Clarence Clement Moore.
Prior to that, depictions of “Santa Claus” were much, much different. Those older depictions were primarily inspired by a mishmash of traditions which came over from Europe, and that included very old pagan stories about the Norse god Odin.
For example, did you know that Odin would supposedly fly through the air delivering toys and candy to kids during the time of the Winter Solstice?…
Back in the day of the Vikings, Yule was the time around the Winter Solstice on Dec. 21. Gods and ghosts went soaring above the rooftops on the Wild Ride, the dreaded Oskoreia. One of Odin’s many names was Jólnir (master of Yule). Astride Sleipnir, he led the flying Wild Hunt, accompanied by his sword-maiden Valkyries and a few other gods and assorted ghosts. The motley gang would fly over the villages and countryside, terrifying any who happened to be out and about at night. But Odin would also deliver toys and candy. Children would fill their boots with straw for Sleipnir, and set them by the hearth. Odin would slip down chimneys and fire holes, leaving his gifts behind.
Does that sound familiar to you at all?
It should because this is where we got the idea of Santa doing the same thing at Christmas.
And did you know that Odin had “a crew of industrious elves” that worked very hard to make gifts for Odin to deliver?…
Everyone knows that Santa Claus lives at the North Pole, where his workshop is headquartered. All year long, his crew of elves work hard to produce the gifts that Santa brings to all the children who made it to his “nice” list. Well, according to Norse mythology, Odin also had a crew of industrious elves known as “Odin’s men” who made small gifts for Odin to deliver. The manufacturing did not take place at the North Pole, but many parts of Scandinavia are situated above the Arctic Circle. Odin himself was said to live in a frozen world to the north called Asgard, where he often clashed with icy giants.
I know that it may be painful to learn the truth, but there is more…
Thanks to “‘Twas The Night Before Christmas,” we know that Santa flies through the sky in a magical sleigh pulled by eight flying reindeer. Similarly, Odin flies across the sky on an eight-legged horse named Sleipnir. In most stories, Odin sat on the back of the horse, but in many other Norse myths, common animals with the uncommon ability to fly pulled sleighs or chariots for the gods and goddesses. Even the names of Santa’s reindeer, as given by Moore, evoke Odin. “Donner” and “Blitzen” are similar to the Germanic words for “thunder” and “lightning,” both of which were commanded by Odin.
Yes, the story has evolved over time, but it is the same story.
By the way, according to Wikipedia during ancient times people would actually offer “human as well as other sacrificial victims” to Odin.
So the pagan Winter Solstice traditions were not as warm and fuzzy back then as they are today.
If you are a parent, I would encourage you to tell your children the truth from the very beginning.
Santa Claus does not exist, and believing in him is not going to do anyone any good.
