The birth of Jesus was the birth of mercy and blessing to people in a world that was immersed in darkness, ignorance, depravity, deprivation and discrimination.
i took a 45-minute uber ride home from the airport last night after a brutal, three-day business trip.
i was completely emotionally and physically drained, and my social battery was at absolute zero.
when i got into the car, the driver.. an older guy named kabir.. didn't say the usual "how was your flight?" or turn on the radio.
instead, he just handed me a small, laminated piece of paper attached to the back of his headrest.
it was a literal "ride menu."
it said:
1. *the silent ride* (total quiet, no pressure to talk).
2. *the therapist ride* (if you need to vent about your day, i am listening).
3. *the tourist ride* (i will tell you cool facts about the city).
4. *the radio ride* (we just listen to old jazz and coast).
i smiled, pointed to number 1, and whispered, "silent ride, please. thank you."
he gave me a warm nod in the rearview mirror, adjusted the AC, and drove the entire 45 minutes in absolute, beautiful silence.
it was the most peaceful, therapeutic boundary i’ve experienced all year. i felt my entire nervous system finally reset.
when he dropped me off, i gave him a massive tip and told him, "that menu is a genius business idea. you must get amazing reviews."
He looked back at me and said, "i didn't make the menu to get better tips, dear.
my daughter has severe social anxiety, and she told me that the hardest part of her day is navigating small talk with strangers when her brain is tired.
she told me it feels like running a marathon.
i made the card so that anyone who gets into my car can feel completely safe dropping the mask for a little while."
i walked into my apartment and just sat on my suitcase.
we live in a world that is constantly screaming at us to perform, to network, to be "on," and to over-communicate.
but sometimes, the deepest form of love and respect you can show another human being is just creating a small, safe pocket of silence for them to rest in.
pay attention to the people who give you permission to be quiet. they are rare.

🇮🇱🇺🇸Journalist Abby Martin on her visit to Israel:
“The whole world has to isolate this rogue… state. Shame anyone who goes there.
We’re seeing essentially the fourth Reich today marching forward.”
Here is a video of Zionist settlers stealing some more Christian land.
Judeo-Christian values!
Meanwhile, Psych5150 @LauraLoomer wants you to fear the Orthodox Christian Russians.
Any footage of Russian spitting on Christians or stealing our land, Larry?
A country that has nuclear weapons is threatening to use its nuclear weapons on the country it won’t allow to have nuclear weapons because if they had nuclear weapons they would ‘use them.’
The Pentagon summoned the Pope's ambassador, told him the United States has the military power to do "whatever it wants," and warned that the Church better take its side.
They even invoked the Avignon Papacy, a dark chapter in history when a government used military force to bend the Church to its will.
So where exactly does this end? If the Pope refuses to fall in line, what's the next move, bomb the Vatican?

Oh, this is unbelievable. The edit history on this tweet shows that Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif originally copied and pasted everything he was sent, including:
"*Draft - Pakistan's PM Message on X*"
Now, obviously, Sharif's own staff don't call him "Pakistan's PM," they would just call him prime minister. The U.S. and Israel, of course, would call him "Pakistan's PM."
Would be funny if the fate of the world wasn't hanging in the balance.
Candace Owens drops a history lesson on the Scofield Reference Bible.
I would also like to add that Zionist Samuel Untermeyer, who funded Scofield on this endeavor to pervert Christianity, was responsible for the creation of the federal reserve.
Dont believe Palestinians if you prefer.
Dont believe the media and dont believe human rights groups if you prefer.
But perhaps you'll believe a British NHS surgeon testifying, emotionally, to Israels atrocities.
The oldest Christian community on earth is being ethnically cleansed by Israel, and 'Zionist Christians' in the US are the ones fueling it.
Here is a closeup view:
ABSOLUTE BOMBSHELL: Jemma Forte unleashes on Trump: “It's absolutely disgusting... They need to plead the 25th, impeach this man, take his phone away — he's utterly unfit!” She slams the unprovoked bombing of Iran as Netanyahu's reckless idea pushed by an ex-Fox News host, his son-in-law, and no real military input, warning it has ruined America, shattered the petrodollar, and triggered global chaos as allies turn away and the world shifts to Chinese currency for oil.
