Pastor Darrell Scott tells us exactly what defunding the police would do to minority communities. It is absolutely crazy that such an argument needs to be made.
The Washington Post has settled the lawsuit brought by Nicholas Sandmann over the incident involving an activist who tried to provoke a group of Catholic high school teenagers. Details of the settlement were not announced. It is likely to be in the tens of millions.
During the last two months America has witnessed violence in the streets that may be unprecedented. “Protestors” have rioted, looted, burned, raped and murdered. And the media has called this “mostly peaceful.”
Last week, 24-year-old Jessica Doty Whitaker was shot to death following an argument with Black Lives Matter supporters. According to her family, the BLM supporters shouted “Black lives matter” at her and her group, to which they replied, “All lives matter.”
According to her fiancee, he and the victim and two other people were hanging out along a canal near Indianapolis when someone in their group used a slang version of the N-word. That word prompted a confrontation by a group of strangers.
It is becoming increasingly obvious that our system of “higher” education is closed off to students with conservative viewpoints. Such students are pilloried for their views. They are doxxed and smeared in an attempt to get them removed from the college or university where they are attending. Many of these smear campaigns are outright lies used to enrage the mob so that school administrators will cave to their demands.
The Jesuits were once renowned for their intellectual rigor. Any person who graduated from a Jesuit-run institution was presumptively well educated, morally centered, and capable of reasoning. Marquette University is one such Jesuit institution. Marquette has consistently been highly ranked among American universities.
Marxists control organizations like Black Lives Matter and Antifa. They have started an insurrection using the trojan horse of racial injustice. The rioting and looting and general mayhem are part of the process to overthrow the current governmental structure of the country with one that is Marxist/communist.

As we enjoy festivities on the 4th of July, the following video reminds us of the sacrifices that so many made so that we can be part of the greatest country in the history of the world.

Because of what they did, we enjoy the great country that we have today.

In a country where three-word slogans are popular, none garners more recognition right now than “black lives matter.” This has become the mantra that has destroyed sections of our major cities. And anyone who suggests that “all lives matter” or “blue lives matter” is putting his livelihood and, in some cases, his very life at risk.
The Democrats and their allies in the media are good at generating slogans like “black lives matter.” There have been recent events where people have literally fallen down and worshipped at the feet of those who support the organization Black Lives Matter (BLM).
Hillsdale College is one of an exceedingly small number of colleges that does not take federal money of any kind. As highlighted on their website, they offer an education “designed to equip human beings for self-government.” They teach that “freedom can only last if you and I choose to act as people of character.” They do this without bowing down to demands from our federal government of what a college education should be.
Founded in 1844 by Baptists, Hillsdale is a non-sectarian institution whose teachings are “informed by Christianity’s moral teachings.” Its founders were abolitionists and feminists so the college has admitted blacks and women since its founding.
