Five Doves, Steve Mullin (23 Dec 2025) In the video she clearly picks up snow from the yard keeps it in plain sight of the camera the whole time, makes a small snowball and then holds a lit lighter underneath it and nothing happens other than it burning a little and smelling like plastic. Pretty strange to me, let me know what you think. -- Steve M There is a pretty cool Christmas card available at American Greetings. It's called Bright and Beautiful Barnyard Christmas. I'll add a link here but I don't know if American Greetings will block it. It is a very nice card where the barn animals create a Christmas settings for the farmer. Very touching. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy told reporters that he would be willing to withdraw troops from the country’s eastern industrial heartland as part of a plan to end Russia’s war, if Moscow also pulls back and the area becomes a demilitarized, free economic zone monitored by international forces. Russia has given no indication that it will agree to any kind of withdrawal of its troops from land it has seized. In fact, Moscow has insisted that Ukraine relinquish the remaining territory it still holds in the Donbas... 27% of the French want to bid adieu. Failing French President Emmanuel Macron has the ultra-low poll numbers of 11% support – the most unpopular French leader in the last half a century. Out in the world, Macron is galivanting, trying to meddle in problems beyond his geopolitical reach, and avoiding as much as possible to deal with the serious problems of the French Republic.

About 10 to 12 members of the Arya Samaj (Noble Society), a Hindu reform movement, learned of the Christians’ visit. They phoned several of their associates and gathered a mob of about 50 people that barged into the house. “They began to beat us with slaps, punches, elbows, kicked us with their legs and held us hostage,” Masih told Morning Star News, adding that they beat the Christians from 10:30 a.m. until 3 p.m. The Hindu extremists, whose number had then reached 80, searched their car, pulled out all Bibles and tracts and cast them onto the ground into a heap. They shot videos that showed the two couples, disoriented and in shock, forced to repeat that they intended “conversion” in the village and that they would never return. A member of the mob then took a bottle of flammable liquid from the hands of a boy standing with the mob and forced three of the Christians to sprinkle it on the Bibles and literature.
