Democrats on the far-left are telling President Biden to let the government shut down and blame it on the Republicans.

The GOP is in greater danger of crackup, long term, than the squabbling Democrats. Want proof?

I, like most evangelical Christians, am constantly reminded that the evangelical church is in trouble, that evangelicals have been hijacked by a political movement linked to the GOP and Donald J.
