The Turning of the Tide

By Charlie Johnston Huntsville, Alabama – As Pope Francis slyly accuses Israel of genocide for having the temerity to defend itself against another 40 years of terrorist-fueled rape, torture, and murder emanating from Gaza, serious Catholics around the world ask themselves, “How long, O Lord?” Planned Parenthood is caught negotiating for viable fetuses, tiny babies, […]

Ever Bold, Never Brash

By Charlie Johnston Covington, Louisiana – Matt Gaetz would not have been my choice for Attorney General.
