Our Top Story Today: Let Us Remember Pear Harbor Day: First Hand Accounts and Video, The Greatest Generation Ever
Let me say this about Taylor Swift, when a country is failing like America, and people are looking for hope and fun, like many young people, they will swarm to someone like Taylor Swift. We, as Americans should be sadden by our failures. We are a mess, we are divided, our government has failed, it has become ungovernable, so many public institutions stink to high heaven. Pew Research: Public trust in the federal government, which has been low for decades, has returned to near record lows following a modest uptick in 2020 and 2021. Currently, fewer than two-in-ten Americans say they trust the government in Washington to do what is right “just about always” (1%) or “most of the time” (15%). The Church has lost its influence on American society, only 4% of Americans have a Biblical Worldview. The latest on the state of the American Church. The reasons for our failure are more than a bucket full, which I have written about way too many times!
