While Christmas in hospital would not be on many people’s festive wish list, for retired nurse Miriam Harvey, it was one of the happiest days of the year.
“We would close one of the operating theatres and eat our Christmas lunch on the operating table,” the former theatre sister remembers.
“We always kept one operating theatre vacant so we could have our dinner on it.”

The Department of Justice has said that there are over one million files related to Epstein that they are actively working to make public in the coming weeks.
The DOJ said on Christmas Eve: ‘The US Attorney for the Southern District of New York and the FBI have informed the Department of Justice that they have uncovered over a million more documents potentially related to the Jeffrey Epstein case.
‘The DOJ has received these documents from SDNY and the FBI to review them for release, in compliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act, existing statutes, and judicial orders.

With the final days of 2025 rapidly falling to the wayside, Canadians are likely taking stock of the last 12 months.
The past year has seen some rapid changes on the political scene — most notably in the prime minister’s chair.
At this time in 2024, Justin Trudeau was still mulling whether to stay on or step aside.
His ultimate decision to resign paved the way for Mark Carney to take the helm of the Liberal Party and country, later securing his role as prime minister in April’s election.
A teacher in an English school was accused of posing a risk to children and referred to the Government’s counter-terrorism programme after showing Donald Trump videos to his US politics class.
The teacher, who is in his 50s, has told The Telegraph he was “likened to a terrorist” after showing the videos, including one of Mr Trump’s inauguration, to A-level students.
The U.S. Department of State has announced sanctions against a number of individuals including the British head of the Global Disinformation Index (GDI) Clare Melford, whose organization issued a report this summer listing “digital denialism” of Canadian residential schools as one example of “hate speech” that harms democracy.
Undersecretary of State Sarah Rogers linked to a Sept. 25 GDI report on hate speech in Canada in an X post to announce Melford’s travel ban, saying that GDI has interfered with speech on American platforms, including by labeling opinions that “question” the nature of Canadian residential schools as hate speech.
A newly released report reveals that 37 employees at the Department of Justice faced discipline last year for misconduct, including falsified credentials, harassment, and a fraudulent insurance claim.
Blacklock’s Reporter says the First Annual Report on Addressing Misconduct and Wrongdoing at the department, released Wednesday, details 27 formal cases resulting in measures ranging from written reprimands to firings.
America is not a “nation of immigrants,” and never has been, but there has been a generations-long effort to make Americans feel a false sense of camaraderie with culturally unrecognizable people from all over the globe.
Every generation for the past century-plus has been told the same thing: The United States exists to save the entire world’s less well-to-do by bringing them here and allowing them to experience the American Dream.
It was an argument made by politicians and members of the media, to be sure, but government schools made sure to “mold young minds” into believing the nonsense as well.
Islam is simply incompatible with Western civilization, and that couldn’t be more evident considering the 2025 Christmas and Hanukkah season. We get it rubbed in our faces, time and time again, with one massacre after another. These aren’t just lone gunmen who go nuts. These are organized terrorism cells. Bondi Beach, a massacre allegedly committed by two Muslims (father and son), is only the latest example.
San Bernardino, California was the scene of a similar massacre by two Muslims (husband and wife). Nineteen Muslims, backed up by the wealth of other Muslims, gave us 9/11.
Only Islam commands its followers to “kill the infidels.” As a result, we constantly see two (or a lot more) Muslims banding together to kill the infidels. That’s us.
Merry Christmas everyone! I wish you the best of the day surrounded by loved ones and feasting lots and lots of feasting!
This Christmas please keep readers PA Cat and XavierCugat in your prayers.

Please enjoy the movies and the carols.

PS. Xavier would not sit still for a pic. He is a treat extortionist.
Editor’s Note: The Bureau is publishing the following testimony to Canada’s House of Commons committee on International Human Rights from Dimon Liu, a China-born, Washington, D.C.-based democracy advocate who testified in Parliament on December 8, 2025, about the human cost of China’s economic rise. Submitted to The Bureau as an op-ed, Liu’s testimony argues that the Canadian government should tighten scrutiny of high-risk trade and investment, and ensure Canada’s foreign policy does not inadvertently reward coercion. Liu also warns that the Chinese Communist Party could gain leverage over Canadians and treat them as it has done to its own subjugated population—an implied message to Prime Minister Mark Carney, who has pledged to engage China as a strategic partner without making that position clear to Canadians during his election campaign.
This is what Carney wants for Canada.
Christmas has come early for free-speechers. News broke last night that police intend to scrap the recording of ‘non-crime hate incidents’ (NCHIs) – a practice so authoritarian and yet cosmically stupid that only Britain’s speech police could possibly have come up with it.
