How Trump and the Nazis Stole Christmas To Promote White Nationalism
By Cristina Maza On 12/24/17
President Donald Trump wants Americans to think he re-invented Christmas.
“We can say merry Christmas again,” he has said on numerous occasions both during his campaign for president and his presidency. “Christmas is back, better and bigger than ever before,” he told supporters months before the Christmas season.
“You can say again, ‘Merry Christmas’ because Donald Trump is now the president,” said Trump’s former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski after Trump won the election.
Many of Trump’s Christian supporters argue that the president is ending the alleged “war on Christmas,” which has been presented by evangelicals and Fox news anchors as a threat to America’s Christian culture. Trump supporters say Americans have become too politically correct when they wish people happy holidays, a neutral term that can be used for people who celebrate Hanukkah, Eid, or any other religious holiday that takes place around the same time as Christmas.
But critics counter that Trump is promoting a version of the holidays that excludes members of other religions, and that his crusade to bring back Christmas is part of a larger attempt by the president to define America as a country for white Christians alone.

Fox Radio’s Todd Starnes Explains the True Meaning of Christmas
By Staff - December 24, 2017
Mark and Lynn Wivell, of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, believe that Jesus is the reason for the season.
So they decided to include a beautiful sign that read, “JESUS” in their outdoor Christmas decorations.
A few days later they received an email from the homeowner’s association asking them to remove the sign. One of their neighbors had complained that the “JESUS” display was offensive.
“We know that Christmas was about the birth of Jesus,” Mr. Wivell told the Evening Sun newspaper. “I was quite shocked it offended somebody, but I guess in today’s world I shouldn’t have been.”
While the neighbor objected to the offensive nature of the sign, the homeowner’s association had a completely different concern. They argued that the “JESUS” display was a sign – and signs are not permitted.
The Wivells said they plan on keeping their decorations in place regardless of what the homeowner’s association mandates.
Over the past few months we’ve heard the Mainstream Media tell us that Christmas is really not a big deal. They’ve tried to discount the meaning of the holiday.

Rev. Graham to Rosie: Hell is Filled 'With People Who Rejected God's Offer of Salvation' And Rejected 'His Laws'
By Michael W. Chapman | December 26, 2017
...Today, Dec. 26, Rev. Graham posted on Facebook, "Rosie O’Donnell is back in the news today for going after Speaker of the House Paul Ryan on Twitter after he posted a Christmas video message honoring the birth of Jesus Christ. Among other things, she told Speaker Ryan he was going 'straight to hell.'"
"Rosie, you don’t have the keys to hell, but I know the One who does," said Rev. Graham. "And I can tell you who will be there. Hell is going to be filled with people who rejected God’s offer of salvation and turned their backs on His laws and standards, refusing to repent."
"Jesus Christ is God in the flesh, and He took your sins and mine to the Cross, dying in our place, so that we might live -- if we would turn from our sins and put our faith in Him," said the reverend. "I hope one day you will put your faith and trust in Jesus Christ and let him heal your heart, clean up your mouth, and forgive your sins. Do that today—you’ll never regret it."
