UPDATE: Another Chicago-area church has put up an immigration-themed Nativity scene.
A church member at Urban Village Church sent this one along, where Mary, Joseph and Jesus are gone and replaced with a sign that reads: “Due to ICE activity in our community, the Holy Family is in hiding.”

The most transparent administration in history is now hiding both the complete Epstein files and the complete video of the Sept. 2 boat strike from the American people, only releasing the parts of each that they want you to see while concealing the rest.

Absolutely right
💯. It's not these patriotic citizens' fault they're being used as performative props by a corrupt, mendacious, and deranged president. They deserve our kindness and respect, and now, devastatingly, our deepest concern and sympathy. 😢

Newsom: "Think about the state of mind of the VP. How do you square the circle when you go to a prayer breakfast? Old testament, new testament.

This is acting like a pure money laundering operation. They reported losing another $54 million last quarter. It has never made money. Investor money is just flying out the back door faster than in comes in to enrich a lot of shysters and grifters.

Nick Fuentes is simply another fringe MAGA nut you probably never would have heard of if Trump were not elected. Steve Bannon is in the same category.
