GOP members of congress blocked $2000 for struggling American families. Not because the government doesn’t have it. But because they don’t want you to have it.

Christmas Song: Song of the Magi
when we came
we came through the cold
we came bearing gifts of gold
and frankincense and myrrh
and there were trumpets playing
there were angels looking down
on a west bank town
and he so loved the worldwore we then our warmest capes
wore we then our walking shoes
opened wide the city gates
and let us througha child is born
born in Bethlehem
born in a cattle pen
a child is born on the killing floor
and still he no crying makes
still as the air is he
lying so prayerfully there
waiting for the war
welcome home my child
your home is a checkpoint now
your home is a border town
welcome to the brawl
and life ain’t fair my child
put your hands in the air my child
slowly now single file
now up against the wallwear we now our warmest coats
wear we now our walking shoes
open wide the gates of hope
and let us throughwhen we came
we came through the cold
we came bearing gifts of gold
and frankincense and myrrh
and there were shepherds praying
there were lions laying down
with the lambs in a west bank town
and he so loved the worldReferences:

Earl Pochert’s Last Letters Before His Death at the Battle of the Bulge
Earl Pochert During a very complicated battle near the end of World War II, American forces advanced toward Germany in a very intense war called the Battle of the Bulge. The lives lost were many and included my uncle, Earl Pochert.
In a letter written to his brother and sister-in-law (my parents), Earl wrote about the “hell” of war.
Earl Pochert died on January 3, 1945, (the actual date is a bit uncertain because of the nature of the deaths and the ability to identify the bodies). The following letter was written on December 27, 1944. This was just a few days before he died.
To my understanding, the letter took some time to arrive in the United States most likely well after the notification of his death to his parents (my grandparents) . You can image the emotion of the readers.
The letter was talked about before my enlistment in the Air Force. My parents stressed the importance of the pledge that I made when enlisting. I’m sure this letter and the fact that myself and my brother, Kurt Pochert, who entered the Navy, made a big impact on their concern for their sons.
