I looked at all the headlines you just posted and read some of the stories. Those workers in slave labor thankless jobs making clothing, who are putting pleas for help notes in shirt, jacket and pants pockets, says it all about how most humans in the egotistical greed based consumer world, that will read the notes, clutch their pearls, and continue to buy the clothing, have totally rejected the real meaning of Christmas. My decision a couple of decades ago to stop buying clothes as much as possible was based on frugality. I didn't know how bad things were, and ARE more than ever now, for those making the clothes, though I should have. I urge all people of conscience to STOP consuming slave labor made ANYTHING , not just clothing.

That news about the financially strapped frackers being allowed to turn their backs on their pollution piggery is, of course, expected from our fossil fuel government. 😠
It did not say that this is the second round of 🦕 fracker HELP from the  🦖 government, through the thoroughly corrupt 🐍 court system. Back in 2014, the bankruptcy courts were full of Fracker Chapter 11 Bankruptcies. The majority of the them were allowed to be "restructured" by the 🦕 Texas judges (the state where 😈 frackers always go to get out of the consequenses of their irresponsible behavior) through Chapter 11 fun and games (i.e. "legally" allowed to stiff their creditors and emerge from Bankruptcy).

This happened at exactly the same time that struggling Solar PV manufacturers, with relatively less financially harmful Chapter 11 Bankruptcy conditions, were told to eat and die by the judges all over the USA. 🤬

That Intelligencer article about the GOP evil bastard and the pseudo-Christian Crazies (i.e. the Oath Keepers) trying to gin up a "Bible based" Civil War underlines the bizarro level of heinous Bullshit that has been unleashed by those who seek to punish anyone calling themsleves a Christian who call Trump and his supporters out for being ANTI-Christian. There is a war going on all right, but it is a spiritual war. The
 pseudo-Christian Trump worshippers are on the wrong side of it. That is what why they want a thoroughly UN-Biblical physical Civil War. This article shows that those with Christian courage will not buckle under the Trumper pseudo-Christian assault now taking place in Christian publications that expose Trump's ANTI-Chrisitan behavior and cruel polices:

Journalist Napp Nazworth , who has worked for the Christian Post website since 2011, said he quit his job Monday because the website was planning to publish a pro-Trump editorial that would slam Christianity Today. Nazworth, who sits on the editorial board as politics editor, said the website has sought to represent both sides and published both pro- and anti-Trump stories.

“I never got the gist they were gung-ho Trumpian types,” Nazworth said. “Everything has escalated with the Christianity Today editorial.”

Nazworth, who has been critical of Trump and suggested leaders who supported him have “traded their moral authority,” said he doesn’t know what he will do next.

“I said, if you post this, you’re saying, you’re now on team Trump,” he said. He said he was told that’s what the news outlet wanted to do.

“I’m just shocked that they would go this path,” he said, adding that even though he felt “forced” to make the decision to quit, the parting was a mutual agreement between him and the outlet.

Like the first Christmas, when Herod was busy hunting the newborn child to kill him, no matter how many children up to the age of two he had to kill to get the 👹 job done, these are perilous times. Good will eventually prevail, but many will continue to suffer and die until it does.
