They laid hands on him, eager to deploy him as their newest battering ram in the culture war. They stuck with Trump through racism, sexism, dishonesty and even the publication of his third wife’s mid-1990s girl-on-girl porno shoot.”... Continue Reading

“For that reason, the comprehensive Christian, if the Covenanters are right, could never serve as an attorney in the United States.
