Trump’s message to his supporters is that it isn’t just the election on the line, everything is on the line: body, mind, soul, nation, identity. It ends in total victory or total defeat. And i…

Pat Toomey has called Trump a “toxic force,” but, like Cheney and Kinzinger, Toomey won’t be in the next Congress as he, along with his colleague Ben Sasse, is retiring at the end of this term.

By Chrissy Stroop

…ocracy given free rein, I suggest you take a look at the recent history of El Salvador. I heard a lot about missionary activity in El Salvador and Honduras in my 1980s evangelical childhood.
