ROME — This weekend Pope Francis presided over the unveiling of a nativity scene in the Vatican featuring a baby Jesus lying on a keffiyeh, the traditional Palestinian scarf used as a national symbol.

It’s the Christmas season, and with it comes new Christmas movies. One of those supposedly kid-friendly films is called “Dear Santa” — which stars Jack Black as Satan.
And the latter should come as no surprise, as Jack Black has been incredibly outspoken over the past few years regarding his progressive politics and support for Kamala Harris.
In the film, his character is summoned by a dyslexic 6th-grader named Liam who had accidentally written “Satan” instead of “Santa” on a letter. Satan then attempts to get Liam to sell his soul for a few granted wishes. Liam then mistakes Satan for the actual Santa Claus and is told that any three wishes he wants will be granted — but the cost is spending eternity in hell.

Only 6% of federal employees work from an office full-time, and a third are fully remote. And some aren’t actually working when they “work from home,” a Senate investigation found.

“Just three percent of the federal workforce teleworked daily prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. Today, six percent of workers report in-person on a full-time basis, while nearly one-third are entirely remote,” the report states.

The Revolutionary Left is creeping into the mainstream.
The shooting of Brian Thompson, CEO of UnitedHealthcare, has unleashed a wave of evil from members of the Left. Thompson wasn’t a criminal. He wasn’t even an advocate of death the way abortionists or euthanasia advocates are. (And murder of an abortionist or euthanasia advocate would be unjustifiable morally in a democratic system.) His great sin is that he was the head of a company that exists within a mixed private-public healthcare framework, and that he did his job.

Switzerland’s highest court has ruled that a mother and father must facilitate their daughter’s gender transition or face criminal charges, The Daily Wire has learned.

South Korean Yoon Suk-yeol stunned the world on Tuesday morning by declaring a state of “emergency martial law” because “subversive, anti-state elements” among the opposition are blocking his agenda.
