Karen refugees are doing the heavy lifting in Huron



As young people and Democrats flee South Dakota more brown people are doing the work in the failed red moocher state. Spanish speakers prop up the federally subsidized dairy industry East River but in Huron Karen refugees slaughter and process turkeys.
This is the Karen year 2,759, which has been a major holiday in the Karen nation since 1938, at that time 2,677 was declared the first Karen New Year. “The Karen people use the Lunar calendar and so will be a little bit different each year,” explained Thra Iah Say. This year the Huron schools were presented with an award as a symbol of thanks from the Karen community. [Huron Daily Plainsman]
But NAZI Neal Tapio has been leading a crusade to refuse asylum seekers in South Dakota. Tapio loathes the SDGOP establishment and believes his potential unaffiliated US House candidacy is more about the message than the win.
Tapio says the country is not vetting for refugees like it used to, and he says we are taking in people from countries that don't share the same values of religious freedom that we do. [KELO radio]
The Gregorian calendar is a ridiculous anachronism.
Of course, in a 13-month calendar system, we’d also have a new additional month. The International Fixed Calendar system calls this extra month Sol and requires that it fit between the months of June and July. [A year with 13 Friday the 13ths?]
How does something called the 'the christian calendar' still exist in secular societies? Because 13 is not only a prime number and mark of the devil, it corresponds to the number of women's menses each year in a world where men still have control.
For Indigenous people across the globe, the natural world is a source of teachings about natural and universal laws. In understanding the interconnectedness of all things, we recognize that the cosmos– the sun, moon, stars, and other planets– affect us and connect us in undeniable ways. Some Tribal Nations have maintained teachings around solstice time, while others may be seeking to revive the teachings, practices and ceremonies that were forcibly taken from us.

Winter solstice begins another new year for us pagans. It occurred at 21:19 MST on Saturday, December 21.
