Speak Out 12-26-21
For everyone ringing bells for Salvation Army or giving directly through cash register roundups, for people making Shoe Box Christmases come true or funding an Angel wish, for giving coats and food and all the good things that people give this time of year, it's just so heartwarming. People care. People give. That's in Christ's spirit and the reason we celebrate the humble birth of the greatest king. He gave so that we may live. We can give, too, so that others are helped. Merry Christmas!...

Poor Joe
The media told him he could be a president like FDR, who had wide majorities in Congress. They told him he could make all their progressive dreams come true and push the country into socialism. Poor Joe, he doesn't think for himself. And the result is a defeated legislative agenda and cratering popularity ratings. You would have been better to preside as a moderate rather than selling your soul to the left, Joe.

Ovation for Manchin
Thank you Sen. Joe Manchin you have shown the country what fiscal responsibility is by refusing to vote for the Build Back Better Bill. I wish more people had your wisdom and backbone to stand up for what you think is right for this country. I applaud you.
Charlie Brown Christmas
This special show was shown on free TV for decades, and we loved it. The whole country loved it. Thank you PBS for running it again, even for one night. But I wonder, could anything like this be made again? And shown on free TV for decades? It culminates with the New Testament, a nativity scene, and religious carols. Thank you Charlie Brown -- and Linus -- for telling us about the true meaning of Christmas.
