Before I get into the good news of Christmas, let me explain why fewer people celebrate real Christmas.
The Communist Manifesto written by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels in 1848 can be summarized in six points: Abolish private property, abolish the Natural Family, abolish individuality (replace with groupism), abolish religion and morality (especially Christianity and Christian virtues), abolish nations and borders, and abolish history.
So when you hear more “Happy Holidays” and less “Merry Christmas,” you know that Communism is ravenously erasing history and religion on U.S. soil. But at Christmastime, submission to anti-Christ forces is largely voluntary. So I urge you — choose “Merry Christmas” and the Real Reason for CHRISTmas!
Stop and realize that six decades ago, “Merry Christmas” and “Jesus is the Reason for the Season” was central in our American culture. Yes, Jesus Christ, Savior of the world, used to be popularly honored this time of year. Back in the late 1950s and early 1960s, you’d hear on mainstream radio stations Silent Night sung by Johnny Mathis; Mary’s Little Boy Child sung by Harry Belafonte; and Do You Hear What I Hear? sung by Bing Crosby.
To inspire you to honor Jesus Christ in your heart, mind, and soul, listen to these excellent recordings:
And to inspire your whole family (you can play these for hours), here are 129 “Christ Centered Christmas Songs.” Deanna, who posted on YouTube these contemporary, beautiful Christmas song recordings, wrote, “The reason for Christmas is Christ, not a ‘winter wonderland.'” This is historically and spiritually true!
Lastly, before your family’s gift exchange, I encourage you to open your Bible to the Gospel of Luke, and read the real Christmas story in Chapters 1 and 2. Let the truth of CHRISTmas touch your souls and make you glad!
“The very purpose of Christ’s coming into the world was that He might offer up His life as a sacrifice for the sins of men. He came to die. This is the heart of Christmas.” U.S. Christian evangelist Billy Graham (1918-2018)

Pro-family, constitutional Californians are breathing a sigh of relief now that one of the worst Democrat bills of the year has been stopped.
On January 31, AB 1400 to replace private insurance with a big-government program that would have rationed medical treatment, created long waiting lists, and imposed new, high taxes was stopped on the floor of the California State Assembly.
So now, AB 1400, which was introduced in 2021, is dead for the year. Because the California State Constitution, Article IV, Section 10(c), in its first sentence, reads: “Any bill introduced during the first year of the biennium of the legislative session that has not been passed by the house of origin by January 31 of the second calendar year of the biennium may no longer be acted on by the house.”
But how was AB 1400 defeated? Especially when there are currently 56 Democrats in the 80-member Assembly (there are four vacant Democrat seats), who have a vise-grip hold that’s more than a two-thirds majority, allowing Democrats to pass any bill they want?
Because it was a perfect storm. As ultra-left-wing “resetting” Democrats pushed government-controlled health care, it seems most everyone else came against AB 1400: Doctors and hospitals and insurance companies, business associations, and taxpayer advocates strongly opposed it. And most private unions, which want to keep their high-paid health plans, sat on the sidelines, refusing to support AB 1400’s elimination of private health insurance.
These large, secular forces provided the primary lobbying. Providing secondary influence were concerned Californians (like you), who called and emailed, creating a noticeable flood of opposition. The calls and emails the last few days before the scheduled vote were “insurance,” if you will, for the direct lobbying of all the others.
A final takeaway is that even when the New Communist Democrats have a sizable majority, you can depend on new topics — like eliminating private health insurance — containing more shock value than old ones. And, in my opinion, this big “spanking” of the Assembly Democrats by ferocious direct and indirect lobbying should be remembered — and provide restraint against a new bill — for at least a year. Thank you for participating in this important, rare victory against big, new tyranny!
And the death rate, correctly or falsely attributed to the Delta variant, even by the State’s own metrics, is extremely low. December 12’s 7-day average death rate of 0.02 deaths per 100,000 infections means if infected, you have a 1 in 5 million chance of dying from it.
These great odds mean you have nothing to be afraid of, and there’s certainly no justification for continuing to trample people’s God-given liberties. Consider that according to the insurance actuaries, you’re much more likely to die from eating, walking, driving, being hit by lightning, and having a refrigerator fall on you. But have you heard medical tyrants talk lately about restricting eating, walking, and driving? No, because their “orders” aren’t about science, health, or love.
Fortunately, this Democrat-driven statewide “mask” order is largely unenforceable. Police won’t likely enforce it, and local government’s employees are spread thin, especially in December and also because some have been fired for refusing to be injected with a substance that doesn’t protect them, but puts at risk their health and lives.
So, please, business owners and shoppers, do not comply with this renewal of dehumanizing mask tyranny. Don’t buy the lie or participate in it. Remember your humanity and the value of a human smile. Don’t drink the Kool-Aid!
On Wednesday, we should know which popular stores — especially grocery stores — will either not require masks or will honor state-recognized exemptions declared at the door. Please call SaveCalifornia.com at 916-265-5650 if you know of stores that still permit smiles.
TAKE ACTION:
1. Download the State of California’s updated list of exemptions to carry with you. When you walk into Walmart or Target, for example (because they’ve honored “health exemptions” in the past), if a door monitor asks you about a mask, say “I’m exempt” or “I have a health exemption” while you walk straight forward without stopping.
These six things the LORD hates, Yes, seven are an abomination to Him: A proud look, A lying tongue, Hands that shed innocent blood, A heart that devises wicked plans, Feet that are swift in running to evil, A false witness who speaks lies, And one who sows discord among brethren. Proverbs 6:16-19
