Passover, in our times, can fall between March 26 and April 25.
So, April 22 is towards the end of that scale, but not at the very end.
Others years, in recent times, Passover has been in late April.
So, last time it fell on April 22 wasn’t that long ago, viz., 2016. Just 8 years ago. Prior to that 1959. That was a 57-year gap. The longest gap in the last 200 years.
Please don’t ask me to explain how the date for Passover is calculated. I have NO clue. I have a hard enough time trying to work out how Easter is calculated.
WHY? Why, did Trump feel compelled to pay Stormy this $130,000 as ‘hush money’ in 2016?
That is the pivotal & fundamental question that nobody is asking — & hence we do NOT have an answer.
He was NOT being blackmailed by Stormy.
The story of their 2006 sexapade had already appeared in the media way back in 2011 — 5-years ahead of the hush money payment.
So, the accepted (unasked) assumption was that Trump (& his ‘team’) were worried that if this story came out during his Presidential campaign it would affect his chances of winning.
That is STUPID! That is crazy.
That is where Trump & his team miscalculated, & did so badly.
News of his fling with Stormy would have had ZERO impact on his campaign. He would not have lost a single vote.
Everyone knew that Trump was no Saint.
People knew that he was a womanizer. People knew that he screwed around.
So, who would have cared. Later we leant, painfully, that no one cared about him bragging about grabbing at the …
Come on!
Trump miscalculated. Miscalculated badly.
They did NOT have to pay this hush money.
He he had NOT paid he would not be in this prediciment.

So, it wasn’t that far back — just 6-years, i.e., 2016.
A 6-year gap between Christmas falling on the same day of the week is fairly common.
The gaps, as you can see from the 2nd diagram above, can be: 5, 6 or 11.
It all depends on how LEAP YEARS intervene. You can also see that from the 2nd diagram. If there is only ONE LEAP year between the years, it is 6 days apart. More than one & actual leap years complicate matters to give us either the 5-year or 11-year gap.
IF you are into calendaring (as I am) you will immediately seize upon that ’11’. 11 is significant. It is 7+4, i.e., the number of days in a week (7) & the number of years between leap years.
Note that we will have a 11-year gap before Christmas again falls on a Sunday.
