In New York, we have a new crime called Migrant Crime; migrant gangs roam freely in several towns. One area, Roosevelt Avenue, Jackson Heights, has been completely taken over, and residents are no longer safe walking the streets. For example, Jackson Heights Queens has a temporary police surge aimed at reducing crime. However, residents fear […] The post Gangs Take Over Areas of New York City appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

Christmastime is here, and suddenly, it seems everything is turning red and green. We love seeing the festive lights and hearing the cheerful holiday music. As adults, it’s easy to take some of the holiday cheer for granted, but kids soak it all in. The younger the child, the more wonder in their eyes. Vita Paskar took her 14-month-old son to Target, and the family took a stroll through the holiday decorations. The little child got the biggest kick out of the Christmas decorations and it will make even the grumpiest curmudgeon jolly. @vita.paskar This is when things start to get exciting when they begin to understand! #fyp #christmas #target #toddler ♬ Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree – Brenda Lee There Is Nothing Purer Than A Child’s Joy At Christmas As Vita and her husband push the toddler through the Christmas decorations, all he can say is “Wow.” Over and over, he expresses his wonder and joy at the decorations and lights.   Vita captioned the video, “This is when things start to get exciting when they begin to understand!” Last Christmas, her son was an infant, so he didn’t have the same sense of wonder as he does this year. Now, Vita and her family are treasuring the child’s Christmas joy and sharing it with all of us. Vita’s TikTok has 2.2 million views. So many people loved watching the little boy’s reaction. This parent gets it. “Experiencing Christmas through your children’s eyes is the BEST gift a parent can get!” Hopefully, Vita will get this same joy again next Christmas. Someone wrote, “The best is that he won’t remember it next year and he’s going to act like this again I love it!!!” These parents shared the family’s joy. “My son does the SAME thing. And says WOAH so loud and it’s the sweetest thing ever,” one wrote. “My son was born dec 4th last year and i am so much more excited for this christmas, last time i was still in survival mode and he was a just a little nugget,” another agreed. We would love a second chance at being children at Christmas, but these sweet videos are the next best thing.

According to Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts, one question that conservatives often fail to ask is: How do we fix the broken government system in Washington, D.C.?  Roberts addressed that and much more in his new book “Dawn’s Early Light: Taking Back Washington to Save America” and on conservative talk radio’s “The Mark Levin Show” on Tuesday night.  Roberts spoke not only of what needs to happen in the federal government, but also the changes that must take place in state and local governments.  “We have to regenerate our institutions, our schools, our colleges, universities, [and] dare I say, media industry,” Roberts said. “And I use this metaphor of a controlled burn, which the Forest Service uses to regenerate forests. Obviously, [I] mean that figuratively, where we go, institution by institution, revitalizing them, regenerating them.   “And those that don’t get with the program are just going to wither on the vine and die, because Americans will realize they no longer are places where we can transmit our values from one generation to the next.”  Ordered liberty is the best thing that the United States has to offer philosophically, Roberts said.  “We have these two competing goods, of being free and also living in an orderly society, and in the United States, we try to balance this,” he said. “In fact, we’re at our best. If you think about the golden eras in American history, when Americans not only felt free, but they also understood that American society was stable. It was orderly.”  Even more important than politics and policy, the Heritage chief said, is for Americans to cultivate in themselves a “true definition of freedom, which is the right to do what we ought.”  “In fact, I would even say [that freedom is] the moral obligation to do what we ought for one another, for our community, and ultimately for our nation-state,” Roberts said.  Levin suggested that Roberts had released his new book at the perfect time.   “The election’s over,” Levin said. “Now, we’ve got to be thinking about what we want to do with the culture, what we want to do with other institutions, and so forth and so on. And this is an extraordinarily helpful book.”  You can hear more of what Roberts has to say about restoring piety in public schools, why China is the greatest adversary in the history of the U.S., and what Americans can do about it here:     The post Heritage Foundation President Proposes ‘Taking Back Washington to Save America’ appeared first on The Daily Signal.
