…e compliant with federal voting rights laws. Arizona’s Maricopa County and Georgia’s Fulton County, which were subject to MAGA backed conspiracies of mass voter fraud in favor of Biden, are critical districts within swing states that the DOJ will send poll monitors to.

By Lauri Lebo

…orical science is based on correct knowledge of the past. The Bible provides this knowledge as it is the history book of the universe; any ideas about the past apart from the Bible are simply based on the opinion of man who was not there.

…f. Second, would baggy jeans or foul language be an issue on the campus of Georgia Tech? Bates College? Princeton University? More importantly, would this story have even been investigated and written. Sadly, this whole issue seems to have less to do with intelligence and more with what Evelyn Brooks Higginbotham refers to as a politics of racial respectability in her book Righteous Discontent.

The Peril of Criticizing Rick Warren

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…gh, at mega-churches and incredible bloated budgets. My mother’s church in Georgia raised millions of dollars to build a new sanctuary. I asked my mother, “Weren’t there any poor people in the area you could help?” She gave me a withering look. Capital projects are different budgets than missions and never the twain shall meet. Warren, who has made millions, doesn’t take a salary, fine. He lives in a modest house, fine. He drives a beat up truck,…
