    The Talmud

    I've been doing a deep-dive study on the Talmud and, specifically, the Talmudic Period which was between 400 BC and 500 AD in Israel.

    California Democrats Legalize Child Prostitution

    This is just stunning and infuriating! But I am sure there are still Democrats, even here, who will defend this in the name of supporting their party.

    Ohio Senate Passes Bill to Ban All Abortions After an Unborn Baby’s Heartbeat Begins

    If you are pro-life and believe in the sanctity of life, this is very good news.
