“Many analysts, however, have said that Moscow’s and Ankara’s presence in the North African country has in fact led to establishing a balance of power, crucial for freezing the conflict. Yet, Russia redeploying its men and materiel from Syria to Turkey might upset this balance.”

Merry Christmas Kane, and thanks for all you do. Hope you got some down time today.

I just lit a Menorah for the first night of Hanukkah as a show of support for the people of Israel and what they’ve gone through this year.

A small gesture to be sure.

A Jewish friend of mine took me aside and told me how much he appreciated me doing that but very kindly told me to stop calling it a candelabra.

I also learned what the word ‘schmuck’ means.

“In addition to the diplomatic estrangement, it appears that the Syrian government is preparing to file an international lawsuit against Iran. The source revealed that the lawsuit seeks compensation estimated at $300 billion for alleged damages caused by the Iranian regime’s military support for the ousted Bashar al-Assad regime. The source told Al Arabiya that this compensation is based on “the destruction of infrastructure, crimes against the Syrian people, and active participation in suppressing peaceful protests.”

I was asked at a family gathering what was my all time favorite Santa gift. Without hesitation that first shining, gleaming bicycle. Mine was red and after the training wheels came off, I discovered a whole new world. The entire neighborhood was now mine..

Can’t find my earlier comment, but adding that the woman burned alive was NOT PROVEN to be Amelia Carter; that was some kind of crypto scam. If there is such a thing.

You can’t find your earlier comment because it was fake news.

That meme/name has been going around twitter for days, and was debunked long ago.

Always double check anything if you plan to post it on cfp.

This is a communist saying this.

Merry Christmas, CFP peeps!!! Hope everyone’s day was great. Had a good day with my family today and got home a little after 4. 4 more days off work and I hope I wake up motivated every day to get all the stuff done that I need to get done. The cats and I are gonna watch some more holiday movies tonight and just chill. Love y’all 💖 Thanks, Boss for this wonderful place and all your hard work to keep putting the truth out there-much love and respect for you! 🎄🎁🥂🥳💖🇺🇸

I just watched perhaps the stupidest news story of the year on CBS News.

They interviewed a toy store owner in NYC, with the story being that President Trump’s tariffs on China will affect 80% of their toy prices.

In other words 80% of their products are effectively taking business away from toy makers (and their workers) in the U.S.A., and they want pity….????….And CBS is presenting this as a problem, because toy prices will rise…???

American made toys are better quality and safer. They are worth the money.

““I’ve had some very, very brief dialog with Dominic LeBlanc, but other than that there does not seem to be a full-scale strategy coming from Ottawa, with a series of different ministers taking on certain responsibilities,” Pillai said, referring to new Finance Minister LeBlanc. He replaced Trudeau’s longtime deputy Chrystia Freeland after she dramatically resigned Dec. 16, destabilizing Trudeau’s government.”

Luke 2:15-20

When the angels went away from them into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let us go over to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us.” 16 And they went with haste, and found Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger. 17 And when they saw it they made known the saying which had been told them concerning this child; 18 and all who heard it wondered at what the shepherds told them. 19 But Mary kept all these things, pondering them in her heart. 20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, as it had been told them.

In the beginning the Word already existed.
The Word was with God,
and the Word was God. John 1:1

So the Word became human and made his home among us. He was full of unfailing love… John 1:14

Dear CFP friends, sweet joy and Christmas blessings to you all!!! 🌿💖✝️💖🌿
