The Dance...
Responding to President Donald Trump’s statement on the killing, Katy Tur of MSNBC falsely claimed Khashoggi was never a member of the Muslim Brotherhood, but he indisputably was a member and a lifelong proponent of its ideologies.
Ryan Saavedra of the Daily Wire posted the Tur clip and noted that even the liberal Brookings Institute acknowledges Khashoggi was indeed a member of the Brotherhood:
Khashoggi had many friends among the Brotherhood and, as his colleague David Ignatius reported, had joined the movement himself as a young man.
The Saudi considered him an enemy of the State, and a member of the Brotherhood. The group supported the violent policies of its Palestinian offshoot, Hamas and are linked to violence in Egypt. Recruiters to violent groups also frequently use Brotherhood literature and ideology as a part of its religious indoctrination program for potential recruits to violent groups.

After Brotherhood political parties won elections in Egypt and Tunisia, these governments came to understand the Brotherhood as an existential threat.
Thus began a campaign to re-brand the Brotherhood as a terrorist organization, ideologically indistinguishable from al-Qaida, a threat that must be rooted out with brutal discipline. Tamara Cofman Wittes, Brookings, Foreign Policy, Center for Middle East Policy

Keep your expectations modest. Don’t get hung up on what the holidays are supposed to be like and how you’re supposed to feel. If you’re comparing your holidays to some abstract greeting card ideal, they’ll always come up short. So don’t worry about holiday spirit and take the holidays as they come.
Do something different. If the usual routine fill you with holiday dread rather than holiday joy, don’t surrender to it. Try something different. Help in the church, donate your time...
Lean on your support system. If you’ve been depressed, you need a network of close friends and family to turn to when things get tough, s So during the holidays, take time to get together with your support team regularly or at least keep in touch by phone to keep yourself centered.
