December 20, 2022 - War had already been waging in Europe for months when Pope Benedict issued a plea from Rome on Dec. 7, 1914, to leaders of Europe: declare a Christmas truce.

Benedict saw how badly peace was needed, even if it was only for a day. The First Battle of Ypres alone, fought from October 19 to November 22, had resulted in some 200,000 casualties (mostly German and French soldiers, but also thousands of English and Belgians). The First Battle of the Marne was even worse.

In light of this carnage, the pope asked, "that the guns may fall silent at least upon the night the angels sang."

The European leaders ignored his plea.

PHOENIX, Arizona (PNN) - December 21, 2022 - Arizona Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake’s legal team said Wednesday that a review of 113 randomly chosen ballots cast in the November election found that 48% - or 42.5% - were invalid because they were “19-inch ballots produced on 20-inch paper.”

It’s kind of hard to contemplate that in such a high-tech world, ridiculous errors like this could still happen. You can’t get the ballot size right? Come on.

WELLINGTON, New Zealand (PNN) - December 17, 2022 - The authoritarian fascist Left-wing New Zealand government has ordered citizens to report their friends and family to the terrorist pig thug cops if they suspect them of opposing government policies, including COVID measures, taking a page right out of Adolf Hitler’s Nazi regime.

PHOENIX, Arizona (PNN) - December 14, 2022 - Thank goodness for good investigative journalism. Not the Soros-backed, derivative, propaganda pieces the Left likes to put out in mainstream media that they call journalism, but real, honest investigations of real
issues.

Jordan Conradson at the Gateway Pundit revealed something shocking about the elections in Maricopa County, Arizona. She highlighted severe Election Day issues that made having a
secure election impossible. I detail some of the biggest issues she highlighted below. This testimony comes from an election judge who revealed this information to the Gateway Pundit, and asked them to redact his name, but will testify in court if necessary.

December 11, 2022 - If you live in one of the so-called free democracies of the Western world, the worst mistake you can make is to buy into the hype; to believe you are a free individual in a nation that respects and protects your freedom and individuality.

NEW YORK (PNN) - December 10, 2022 - Gun rights advocates warned that a new change to the credit card industry to add a firearm and ammunition-specific Merchant Category Code (MCC) for gun stores wasn't about tracking guns necessarily, but could lead to the denial
of lawful firearms purchases by law-abiding citizens.

December 9, 2022 - In online interviews and conversations I’m hearing intellectuals in the national conservative movement say that the liberal Enlightenment “project” has mostly failed because people need more in their lives than freedom. I’ve also heard this from a few people who have lately become disillusioned with Leftism but yet are uneasy about libertarianism.

December 13, 2022 - Imagine a large, dark, windowless room filled with hundreds of people. Then imagine that one person lights a small candle, bringing a ray of light to that dark room. That person uses his candle to light someone else’s candle, bringing a bit more light to the room. Each person with a lit candle then lights someone else’s candle. Before long, the darkness in that room has been extinguished.

“Which is better — to be ruled by one tyrant three thousand miles away or by three thousand tyrants one mile away? — Rev. Mather Blyes (1706-1788)

December 12, 2022 - Does it really matter if the instrument curtailing liberty is a monarch or a popularly elected legislature? This conundrum, along with the witty version of it put to a Boston crowd in 1775 by the little-known colonial-era preacher with the famous uncle - Cotton Mather - addresses the age-old question of whether liberty can long survive in
a democracy.
