Christianity: National Public Radio reports that, at the trial of a white policeman, who was convicted of depriving her African-American son of his civil rights (he was shot in the back, and died), the victim's mother told the shooter that she forgave him. (The shooter apparently told her that he was sorry.)
A Relevant contributor discusses that perennial topic, the so-called "war on Christmas."
Relevant also reports on a survey, which indicates that Muslims and Jews give more to their religions than Christians do.

Finance: Listverse describes some types of money that used to be used in the U. S., but aren't, any more.
Health: National Public Radio reports on the much more frequent deaths of black women, in, or shortly after, giving birth, and points to the stress of being the target of racism as at least one of the causes.
History: Listverse reports on some interesting aspects of life in ancient Egypt.
Politics: FiveThirtyEight reports on the change in attitude toward Israel in Republicans, over the last few decades.
