Biden walks, talks, and spends your money like a drunken sailor.
Hardworking taxpayers are bearing the burden of his woke policies, including the cost of supporting millions of illegals he allowed into the country under the pretense of asylum.
I am not opposed to orderly, sustainable immigration of genuinely persecuted and well-vetted individuals who can be assimilated and become productive citizens.
However, I am convinced Biden’s immigration policies are meant to form an easily manipulated, dependent voting block loyal to the Democrat party, using social programs and race baiting to maintain allegiance.
Unfortunately, I don’t think Biden will allow many refugees from Marxist countries, because they recognize the dangers of our budding Neo-Marxism and are warning others about it.

The full text of Senator Paul’s Festivus report is available on his website.
Senator Mike Braun (R-IN) and Representative Jim Banks (R-IN) of Indiana faithfully opposed this bill.
Unfortunately, Senator Todd Young (R-IN) voted for it. Why?
Young also voted for the Respect for Marriage Act, without the Lee Amendment providing well-worded protection of the religious freedom of individuals and organizations like bible-believing churches that only acknowledge traditional monogamous marriages.
Young claims the amendment was unnecessary. Apparently, he thinks he knows more than Senator Mike Lee (R–UT), former clerk for Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, about safeguarding religious freedom from the woke. I don’t think so.
The woke demand everyone affirm their “progressive” ideology. It is “progressive” to deny the traditional, biblical definition of marriage. They are creating cunningly devised legal justification to enforce their ideology upon all.
Fundamentals of biblical Christianity including the patriarchal nuclear family and gender roles are under attack. God’s good design and instructions for human flourishing are despised by the woke.
Christians, don’t confuse the embrace of the woke for a cuddle. Like a boa constrictor, they are slowly squeezing this nation into submisson. They view Christianity as a hindrance to their new world order.

Concerning the Related Content section, I encourage everyone to evaluate the content carefully.
If I have listed the content, I think it is worthwhile viewing to educate yourself on the topic, but it may contain coarse language or some opinions I don’t agree with.

If you have evidence that I am wrong about a material statement of fact, provide the evidence and I will gladly review it and make revisions if merited. Obviously, there are some assertions that are matters of opinion that I will not change, but I always strive to be truthful.
I will continue to add videos and other items to the Related Content section as opportunities present themselves.
I recommend these Youtube channels and commentators for good content on politics and news from a Christian and/or conservative worldview: Albert Mohler, Allie Beth Stuckey, Bill O’Reilly, CBN News, Hugh Hewitt, John Anderson Media (Australia), Nick Freitas, Ruthless Podcast (language warning), Scott Jennings, The Hot Zone with Chuck Holton, Vince Dao, and Verdict with Ted Cruz.
Albert Mohler’s channel on Youtube has a daily episode called The Briefing with Albert Mohler that I highly recommend. Allie Beth Stuckey’s channel is top-notch, too.
For livestreaming of political protests and riots by conservative commentators, check out Nate Friedman, Cam Higby, James Klug, and Nick Shirley. I don’t agree with the perspectives of all these commentators and the language of protesters is often obscene. Most news outlets will not cover these illegal assemblies, though, because it doesn’t promote their narrative.
Depictions of Jesus Christ are used in some illustrations. I realize that some including conservative Presbyterians consider this to be idolatry. I respectfully disagree with their position on this matter as the commandment forbids worshiping such depictions, and I do not worship these illustrations.
