I had a pastor — with degrees in Theology, Philosophy, and a Master of Divinity — say this about my podcast.Like… what?! Honored and absolutely terrified. 😬😬Now to the heavy stuff…Something to inspire you. A final, brief Christmas messageBut I didn’t want Christmas to pass without saying this.Christmas is not about noise, or politics, or headlines.It’s about God stepping into human history.The Bible says, “The Word became flesh and dwelt among us.”Not from a palace.Not with power on display.But as a child.Born into poverty.Born into danger.Born into a broken world.Jesus didn’t come to make life comfortable.He came to make redemption possible.He came for the grieving.For the exhausted.For the fearful.For those standing at hospital bedsides.For those who feel like they’re barely holding it together.Christmas is God saying: I see you. I am with you. And death does not get the final word.If this season feels joyful for you, give thanks.If it feels heavy, you’re not alone.The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.From my family to yours—Merry Christmas.Jesus Christ was born.And hope is alive.And with that, thanks for joining us this week.Want to help support the mission?

An update, a pep talk, and a few of my core principles I want to share. (Oh, and as usual, I share too much about me and my past, but oh well, that’s podcasting…)Example tweet:Timestamp: (20:20). The big problem with the administration.Erick-Woods Erickson: Twitter is Rotting the Right’s BrainEurope is absurd. It is also a strategic partner.The majority of the angst, however, comes over immigration and the belief that the Islamization of Europe is upon us. The reality is that foreigners make up less than 13% of Germany, and even less in France and the United Kingdom. They just happen to be concentrated in the capitals and get a lot of attention. And the European elite treat them paternalistically, setting up security perimeters around Christmas events instead of cracking down and insisting on assimilation.Yes, the European elite give us a lot to criticize in their handling of immigration. But also, the non-native populations are not nearly as large as one might think. Muslims make up less than eight percent of the population of Sweden, but on Twitter, you’d think they’ve taken over the country. On Twitter, the United Kingdom is overrun and on the verge of becoming an Islamic nation.In reality, there are absolutely problems, often dismissed by the European elite who prefer to crack down on speech, but the online community also vastly overstates the problem.Therein lies the problem with the Trump Administration.…The Biden Administration was overrun with white upper-income progressives from the non-profit world who’d never had a real job and could not relate to the real world.The Trump Administration is overrun with the kids from wealthy white elites who live their lives online and have concluded that Twitter is real life because that’s where they spend their time.The Biden Administration got radicalized by the white guilt of progressives. The Trump Administration got radicalized by an online horde of white kids who have convinced themselves that if it is buzzing on Twitter it must be real.The elites and the experts deserve a lot of blame for people distrusting them, disregarding them, and discrediting them. But we’ve traded experts trained in a field of study for experts who learned everything they know from Twitter. We’ve gone from the elite of Harvard Yard to repeat residents of a Holiday Inn Express.Timestamp: (27:36). The Trump Administration releases its new security strategy, and I cover the pros and cons of it.The new National Security StrategyExperts react to Trump’s National Security Strategy...👍 PROS (Arguments For the Plan)* Refocuses U.S. strategy on domestic priorities and the Western Hemisphere.* Pushes Europe to take more responsibility for its own defense.* Seeks to end prolonged conflicts like Ukraine through negotiation, reducing long-term U.S. commitments.* Emphasizes economic strength at home, including trade leverage and industrial capacity.* Argues for a more realistic, interest-based foreign policy rather than open-ended global obligations.* Tries to reprioritize U.S. ...

It feels like a roller coaster about to go over the edge of that really high climb, except unlike a roller coaster, we don’t know where this one is going to end up at. Moving along, the longest government shutdown in history has ended. Was it the filibuster that caused it to end? Or the fact that SNAP benefits (as well as an untold number of regular paychecks to government workers) weren’t going out? This is a topic of much debate, but let’s hope for some more normalcy in our federal government. Timestamp: (5:21).

An increased military operation against Venezuela seems almost certain at this point, in my opinion.The New York Times: “The arrival of the Ford and three missile-firing Navy destroyers adds about 5,500 military personnel to a force of 10,000 troops already in the region, roughly half ashore in Puerto Rico and half aboard eight warships. With more than 15,000 military personnel, the U.S. buildup is the largest in the region in decades.”…Sean Parnell, the Pentagon’s chief spokesman, said in a statement on Tuesday that the U.S. “forces will bolster U.S. capacity to detect, monitor, and disrupt illicit actors and activities that compromise the safety and prosperity of the United States homeland and our security in the Western Hemisphere.”Timestamp: (21:15).
