Painful but true…

I suppose the question of, (was it too soon for Astrophysicist Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson to tweet out his “painful take” on the shootings in El Paso and Dayton) is a valid one. Nevertheless, the near immediate and reprehensible Democrat … Continue reading

The Devaluation of Humanity…

I stood clear of the abortion debate when I was younger, as folks very close to me identified with the “choice” side of the argument and I elected not to engage them. I should’ve been more vocal about the truth. … Continue reading
