I’ve never attended the black southern megachurches at the center of Honk For Jesus. Save Your Soul yet I did grow up around this environment. Since today is Sept. 11, I was assigned to contact a popular black church in Americus, Ga. to see if they were doing anything for the day. The local CatholicContinue reading “‘Honk For Jesus.

We Need To Talk About Herschel Walker
I’m going to be blunt. Herschel Walker might just be the absolute worst candidate the Republican Party has ever supported for elected office. He’s worse than Trump, who I think never really wanted the position, but just was going to use it to further his business deals.

Cheney’s Loss Is The End Of The Republican Party
Mark your calenders because Aug. 16, 2022 was the day the Republican Party officially died. It may have the same name but it’s no longer the party that many people have remembered.

Kansas Abortion Vote Shows A Long Battle Ahead For Both Sides
Nothing in life is certain. Even the old “Death and Taxes” quote Benjamin Franklin coined now doesn’t apply to the wealthy who use tax laws and lobbying to cheat paying taxes. I’m sure conservative lobbyists and politicians in Kansas thought the abortion amendment to the state’s constitution was a sure deal. And to secure theContinue reading “Kansas Abortion Vote Shows A Long Battle Ahead For Both Sides”
