Lack of religion is directly tied to the decay of our society. From where does a moral foundation spring, if not religion? And without morals, there is no right or wrong. This slow acting poison of the atheist Left has led to what we see today - skyrocketing crime, race based attacks on innocent individuals, riots, looting and an administrative state which allowed it all to happen.

I don't know if a God exists. I'm not arrogant enough to definitively declare anything either way. There's no way to know. Absence of evidence isn't evidence of absence, as they say.

What I do know is that when people live their lives by a set of philosophical rules which emphasizes the importance of treating people well, they tend to be happier and better adjusted than those who don't. Often healthier and more successful, too. I'm just not seeing the downside, maybe other than some strangers on the internet laughing at them.

Don't worry... we'll be back in the WH in 2024.

Ron DeSantis.

OBiden or Kamalamala... doesn't matter. He wins.

But look at how devotion worked out for the Mid Eastern countries, except for Israel. Too many prohibitive laws stifle the human spirit and promote hate.

Highly recommend watching the Two President Prophecy as prophesised by Kim Clement a long time ago. There will be pathway for Trump back into office.

I agree however there are not enough people sitting in the pews to defeat the leftists. You have to do what you have to do to market your brand

Didn't Justin Trudeau get caught this week on a hot mic saying that Harris would replace Biden as president by the end of 2022?

We nearly took congress in 2020, and as the article points out, our chances look very very good for the 118th congress. With luck and skill we will obstruct every single bad idea that comes out of the Biden White House.


Obstruct! It is good for America!
After all that's what the Left does when there's a Republican president. They did it in spades during Trump's presidency, now they're squealing like stuck pigs. What short memories these people have.

Ah, but go ahead and vote out the filibuster (as Mitch did) to get a SCJ with a simple majority,
