From Coffee and COVID today:

Nigerian Christians had an unexpected reason to celebrate Christmas. This morning, the Wall Street Journal reported the story under the headline, “Trump Discloses Christmas Day Strike Against ISIS in Nigeria.” It was a promise, fulfilled: “The President previously said he would move to protect the country’s Christian population.”

Since 2014, there have been at least 17 cases of mass abductions in which at least 1,700 Christian children were seized from their schools by Islamist gunmen.

According to Amnesty International, more than 100,000 Nigerian Christians have been killed by Muslim extremists since 2011. Some estimates from groups that track Christian persecution are much higher. Until recently, when President Trump promised help, corporate media had covered the plight of these gentle religious people with a level of attention and diligence usually reserved for victims of communism or Republican lawmakers shot by transgender activists.

The truth is, the media only cares about genocide and political violence when it is directed at muslims, like the Palestinians. I’ll let you figure out the reasons why, for extra credit.

In his latest surprise move, the President took direct action yesterday. “The United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS Terrorist Scum in Northwest Nigeria,” Trump announced in a Truth Social post. “I have previously warned these Terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight there was.”

Looks like NYC is due for a “Boxing Day blizzard” today and tomorrow. This is a photo from my hotel room from the Boxing Day blizzard of 2010. The snow was absolutely hypnotic to watch, swirling against the buildings in the background.
