Grab your pruners, we’re overwhelmed by brambles

The current felonious occupant of the presidential mansion has seen his approval ratings drop to historic lows as the fallout begins from the regime's disastrous economic policies. The unimaginably cruel immigration policies, the brainchild of arch-xenophobe Stephen Miller, are finally starting …

Creation care and honoring Pope Francis
"Give us this day our daily bread." - Jesus of Nazareth "But let justice roll down like water and righteousness from an ever-flowing stream."

Nor did his followers, including a so-called pastor named Lorenzo Sewell, who claimed that the Right Reverend Bishop …
Wolves in sheep’s clothing
Recently while doing research for the God Squad pod, I came across a video from Joel Webbon's YouTube channel where he was interviewing Stephen Wolfe.
