Both have […]

Presidential Debate an “Establishment Fiasco”

Who was the Winner? Donald Trump for not participating in the Circus! I’m sure many of our readers listened to the Fox debates on Wednesday night. Personally, I thought that the first hour was more like a circus with the constant interruptions and no adherence to the time limits. Fox has always had a love-hate […]

Our Children are the Future

Our children are the future. When we allow our children to be taught that their physical body is not the correct body for them, we are committing a crime against the future and against God.

Dear DOJ: Leave the Politics to Congress

By taking unprecedented steps to repeatedly prosecute former President Donald Trump, the Department of Justice (DOJ) stands as a prime example for why Washington, D.C., is known as “The Swamp.” These are non-elected personnel, acting with clear political bias, using U.S. law as a weapon.

The Gothic structure survived fires, battles from two wars (1812 and our Civil War), provided sanctuary for slaves seeking their freedom, and served as a hospital in both the War of 1812 and the Civil War.

America at a Turning Point

How our country has changed in 2 ½ short years with the ungodly Democrats in charge. We hear them talking about abortion in terms of man’s laws instead of God’s law and this is where the real problem lies. We as a nation have devolved to the point that we no longer live by God’s […]
