To Michael Savage Dec. 25th, Christmas Day

Doc,

Wee hours of Christmas morning.
Lots of churches around the world now are full of people celebrating the birth of Christ.
Some say we shouldn't, because He said "don't remember my birth, remember my death." So what?
He was a modest guy. We want to remember and honor Him with his birthday. It's not for Him it's for our own good standing before ourselves. It's nice to have a holiday in the winter time. Winter is depressing and we all need lights and cheers to make it more tolerable.
I also love Hanukkah, the Festival of Lights. I have a menorah and lit the first candle today. Why not?
Int'l news; after 4 years of fear, bloodshed, devastation and homelessness, Christian minority of Aleppo had a chance to get together in public square around a Christmas tree and enjoy freedom by celebrating birth of Baby Jesus, at rt.com/news/371582-aleppo-christmas-celebrate-lizzie. 
People remember their loses with sadness, but also express their immense gratitude to Syrian and Russian armies for liberating their city from vermin.
Armenian church organized an orphanage in its complex. Republic of Armenia, in other hand, took more than 10 000 refuges on its land.

About Kiev and Washington relations listen what a known Attorney and politician Tatyana Montyan of Ukraine says about Trump's election and predicts his future treatment of bozos in power in Ukraine, at youtube.com/watch?v=DaCbW06XvlY.  
It's in Russian tough, you need an interpreter. She is sharp (master of marshal arts like Putin), highly educated, politically savvy and has a very sharp mind garnished with humor. 1:30am

8am, woke up couple of hours ago, put a candle and morning coffee on the table, turned the radio on in expectation of hearing Christmas music when the news update of the station said that Russian military plane crushed into Black sea with 92 people on board. No survivals.

Went out, gave my doorman a piece of cake and candy cans, came back, got in the shower, stayed under the running water for 45 minutes, I guess hoping getting the bad news off of me. ??? Showered just a few hours before, why would I need so much water? I don't know either. Got back in the bed again doing this. News is all over by now, all around the world.
Tomorrow is day of mourning in Russia. At this hour 11 bodies are recovered.
Among 92 people 8 were crew members, 9 were members of news crews from 3 TV networks, 64 were musicians, members of famous Alexandrov army choir, who were going to play for Russian soldiers located in Latakia to cheer them for holiday season.

One very famous doctor, Dr. Elizaveta Glinka, pediatrician, knows as Dr. Liza who has done amassing job of helping people, especially kids in war torn and disaster areas, is also dead.
She has done so much to rescue sick and injured kids from East Ukrainian war zone. Her charitable organization was helping everybody who needed help. She was relentless in her efforts, a real humanitarian. only 54 years old and just recently got a highest award for outstanding achievements in the field of charity and human rights from President Putin. Prize was established this year and was being given out for the first time.
She had a foundation called "Fair Help" and was taking large amount of humanitarian help to Syria.

[As far as I'm concerned, just by knowing about her from such big distance, she was a life savior, wound healer and should be canonized as a Saint. Yes, one must not only be single and live in convent to be called Saint. There are other Saints who're living among the rest, have a family life and do cure and perform miracles. Mother Teresa is a Saint without being able to cure the body, why not Dr. Liza? She did both, cured body and soul. Russian people owe her a monument called "People's beloved Doctor." ]

Captain of the aircraft, Roman Volkov, was a first class military pilot with more than 3000 hours of flight.

[I smell a rotten rot. That plane briefly stopped in Adler airport (I know that airport well, we use to fly there almost every summer when I was younger), and after 2 minutes of take off went down. ???
I think something was placed into the plane to bring it down.
Although that particular aircraft, TU-154, wasn't new, Russian planes are known by their sturdiness. ]
