Customer Reviews
Eric Teetsel
What a great and clear explanation of the funding and procedural shenanigans going on in the US Congress. Thank you so much.
just enough
just enough wonk to educate but not so much that we get lost in the weeds. thank you for the "Tuberville explainer"
Why is Israel having problems with relations with the Middle East?
The progressives in the US have definitely taken the wrong side of human society. The US has lost spiritual intelligence. Knowing US missionaries, Israelis treat other cultures like lower class humans. They have brought some criticism from the Middle East upon themselves. IS college students are exactly what you have talked about. Colleges are recruiting LGBTQ+ students into the schools of education to spread their genderism k-12. My own Alumnus, Ole Miss, is actively recruiting LGBT+ students from rural areas and community colleges with the promise of paid tuition with promise to teach 3 years in the state of Mississippi. Their plan is to take over the K-12 student minds in Mississippi and beyond. Their school of diversity, imbedded inside the college of education, has a tool kit and mission statement similar to what BLM has published on their radical website. What a parallel!
