The Most Relevant Story Ever
Finally in this Christmas week of dark stories comes a ray of light. Josh Code at The Free Press on “What Drives Gen Z to Church?” The stories of a revival of faith among younger people are quite wonderful. They give hope in a time when humanity seems hopeless. This little video piece reflects the few young people that are showing up at my church and it is fascinating. There are a couple of things worthy of note.

A Less Charitable Christmas?
This is the week of Christmas – usually a very slow news week, but my stack of stuff is much deeper than usual after only a day. Sadly most of it is negative news. I wanted to write good, uplifting stuff this week. Part of the reason the stack is so big is I am purposefully ignoring stuff to try and find that positive story. Then I ran across this local headline, “East TN charities seek end-of-year contributions amid national drop in donations,” followed the link trail a little bit and discovered this, “Most US adults aren’t making year-end charitable contributions, new AP-NORC poll finds.” Things are not quite as bleak as those headlines indicate, but a less charitable Christmas was not something I can set aside for later.

Gratitude, Hope, Affordability and Perception
On Saturday the NYTimes carried a piece headlined, “These Young Adults Make Good Money. But Life, They Say, Is Unaffordable.” Before I read a word I thought, “New York, DUH, it is unaffordable.” And interestingly this story of anecdotes does not mention the location of its interviewees at all. Very blue places, New York and Los Angeles among them, are in fact unaffordable. In some ways the piece is about perception and location more than actually being about affordability. It is also quite clearly a Trump hit piece. But deep within its bowels there was gold.

The Standard Christmas Message
It’s the Fourth Sunday of Advent, “Love” Sunday, Christmas Sunday. There is a standard sermon for this occasion I have heard countless time in my life – that Christmas is about Jesus, not presents – that Christmas is a spiritual event, not a temporal one. It’s a prescription against materialism. So common is this sermon that it defined my knee-jerk reaction to this piece about the return of Christmas time tourism to Nazareth in Israel after the cease fire. “How crass,” I thought, “that’s a very holy place – it should be about something more uplifting at Christmas than mere commerce.” But then, as I sat here preparing to roll out the standard Christmas message, I thought again.

The Antisemitism Import/Export Business
I grew up on comic books written by WWII veterans. Many of those comics, especially Captain America, used Nazi sleeper cells as enemies. The premise was simple, the Third Reich had planted cells of agents in the Allied world that then activated decades later and using the wonderous and futuristic tech of Nazi Germany threatened the world. The tech made the whole thing seem preposterous and childish, but someone was reading those comics with a strategic eye and asking themselves if the war might have gone differently if the Axis had in fact infiltrated to the extent those comics made it appear. The antisemitism that is so obviously on the rise and growing increasingly violent has been, in fact, exported to the western world, and we have welcomed it.

China Will Lose, Unless We Help Them Win
I worked in the People’s Republic of China in the late 1980’s, just as they were attempting to liberalize their economy. It seemed a time of great promise. The Soviet Union was falling and China seemed determined to avoid the same fate and so sought a soft landing away from communism. It seemed to be working for a while. Sure the government remained quite centralized, but the economy was liberalizing rapidly. But it was a shell game, three-card monte, a trick. A way to worm their way towards major power status without direct conflict. President Trump understands this and is fighting back. Democrats, unfortunately, don’t get it just yet. And so China is trying the same game in Trumpian terms.

Meme Wars – Everywhere There Are Meme Wars
Last night’s presidential address was part of the ongoing meme wars. Democrats and their willing allies in media are trying desperately to make this administration look bad. They report the bad, ignore the good and spin whatever they can. Every administration, every one, does good and bad. What makes an administration good or bad in the end is the balance between the two and, perhaps more importantly, the stories told about that administration. Deep reads into history (if anybody does that anymore?) will reveal administrations thought awful contemporaneously, but proven quite good by history – and vice versa. But contemporaneous accounts are what move elections and so the battle rages on.
