""ISIS Terrorist Scum in Northwest Nigeria, who have been targeting and viciously killing, primarily, innocent Christians, at levels not see for many years, and even Centuries!""
""significant intervention and inflection point""
""More and more, it's the wealthy that are doing much of the spending,""
The U.S. launched a strike against ISIS fighters in northwest Nigeria. The timing around Christmas carries religious symbolism and marks a significant intervention and inflection point in U.S. military involvement. The targeted ISIS faction is not among the main groups responsible for attacks on Christians, and questions remain whether the strikes aim to defend Christians or to degrade ISIS in the region. Holiday spending exceeded expectations despite low consumer confidence, with Black Friday and Cyber Monday setting records and Mastercard estimating nearly four percent growth in November and December. Wealthier households accounted for a large share of spending, while many consumers shifted toward affordable retailers and thrift stores; wage growth helped fuel spending. Congress entered 2025 with an ambitious agenda including strengthening the economy, addressing the border crisis, and boosting the military.
