Broke: Die Hard is not a Christmas movie, it’s an action film
Woke: Die Hard is set at Christmas. Christmas film
Bespoke: Die Hard is about death, judgement, and deliverance from evil (and people anticipating the celebration of Christmas with an office party) and is therefore clearly an Advent movie

I have serious doubts whether a national coalition agreement is the right way to try to influence the voting behaviour of MEPs.

If ICE agents come onto my campus, or the campus of K-12 schools, I want the school to use active shooter protocols: lock them out, hide the kids and staff, and call the police to inform them of armed gunmen on campus.
