Frank McCormick, a former teacher and constitutional conservative, posted on X early Thursday asking if people enjoy Christmas aesthetics like lights, music, and decorations. Over 50 Jewish respondents largely expressed delight in the holiday's vibe and mood-boosting elements amid winter, noting cultural participation such as eating Chinese food on Christmas or decorating neighbors' trees. Many highlighted the irony that iconic songs like 'White Christmas' and 'Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer' were written by Jewish composers including Irving Berlin and Johnny Marks. While a minority opts out, the thread with over 4,000 views reflects American pluralism and shared seasonal goodwill transcending faith.

Key Takeaway

A simple question on X about enjoying the Christmas season sparked dozens of positive replies from Jewish users, who praised its twinkling lights, festive music, and communal joy without embracing its religious core.

Riots erupted Saturday in three maximum-security prisons when Barrio 18 gang members, upset over lost privileges like phones and air conditioning, took 46 guards hostage. Security forces stormed the facilities, freed everyone unharmed, and captured leader 'El Lobo.' Gangs retaliated hours later in Guatemala City, killing eight officers and injuring 10; Arévalo then declared a 30-day emergency, deploying the army, suspending some rights, closing schools, and ordering three days of mourning. The move echoes El Salvador's tough crackdown but raises concerns over potential overreach.

Key Takeaway

Gang inmates seized dozens of guards in a bloody prison riot, then struck back with attacks that left eight police officers dead. President Arévalo responded with a nationwide state of siege to restore order.

In January 2025, Guatemalan authorities with Interpol aid arrested 35-year-old Israeli Yoel Alter, a Lev Tahor member, on a Mexico warrant for human trafficking charges including minor-adult marriages. The case resurfaced this week alongside a December 2024 raid on the group's Guatemala compound, where police rescued 160 children and 40 women over suspicions of rape, forced pregnancies, and abuse. Lev Tahor, a small ultra-Orthodox sect of 200-300 members that has fled across countries like the U.S., Canada, and Mexico to evade child welfare probes, faces ongoing investigations while experts call it a high-control cult rather than a vast trafficking network.

Key Takeaway

Officers pulled Yoel Alter from hiding outside a Guatemala City center for minors, amid a sect accused of forcing child marriages and worse.
