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.

Lt. Gen. (retd) Faiz Hameed, ISI director general from 2019 to 2021, received 14 years of rigorous imprisonment for political interference and violations of the Official Secrets Act. PML-N supporters hailed it as justice against efforts to undermine Nawaz Sharif's governments, quoting a Quranic verse on divine planning and sharing a meme predicting Sharif's 2025 return from exile—which came true, with family members now in key roles. PTI critics turned the verse against current leaders, viewing the sentence as selective amid ongoing power struggles. The case highlights military influence in Pakistan's politics.

Key Takeaway

A military court delivered a stern verdict against a once-powerful retired general, closing a 15-month trial on serious charges. The ruling on December 11, 2025, brought rare public accountability to a top officer.
