Sorry, Byron — the “War on Christmas” is over.
Christmas is a cultural holiday now, celebrated by millions of non-Christians and even atheists, built on traditions that long predate Christianity.
In a pluralistic country, everyone is free to enjoy the season in their own way.

Were nurses ‘demoted’ from professional degrees? Not exactly

I'll say it. Trump is the reason the two national guards were shot. If Trump wouldn't have sent in the national guards into D.C. for a made up crime epidemic, they would not of been there. He can spin it anyway. This is what he wants, chaos. That way he can invoke the insurrection act.
