    1. Call it what it is – it’s a business deal. You give us our judges, we will look away and “both-sides” away everything else.

      When evangelical churches close up over the next generation thanks to the youth who have cleared out due to the hypocrisy of their elders, they’ll look back and realize it was a mistake to enter the political realm. If the only hope for Christian beliefs and morals is the American justice system, the church is lost.

  1. You forgot to mention his blatant racism and embracing of white supremacy. Is that a perk of having Donald Trump as president, or just one of those pesky things we should ignore as long as you get enough federal judges in return?

  2. So what you believe negates all the hate, the racism, the bigotry, the nepotism, the misogynistic behavior and the over 20,000 lies? I could go on, much further but with you it would be a waste of time.

    1. Yes it would, Mark; you’d be wasting your time. You believe everything the mainstream media puts out about Trump as they do the bidding of world globalists headed by George Soros, their ole mission being to take down America. Too bad your blinders are so heavy you can’t set them aside and see what’s going on before casting your vote against America by voting for “Joe and the Ho.”

    2. Sure beats the misinformation you’re consuming. Hope you’re enjoying getting played for tax cuts for the super-wealthy. “Saving America”, indeed.

      Trump has done more to harm America in 4 years than Putin could have ever hoped. But, hey, the Taliban are rooting for Trump to win!

  3. At the top of the list for electing presidents is keeping “our nation safe, free, and prosperous”. Let’s look at how the president is done. In terms of keeping us safe, we’ve had more deaths from COVID in Indiana (3500+) than all the people who died on 9/11. As far as keeping us prosperous, In Indiana, there are 40,000 fewer people working than when the president took office. And for freedom, we can’t even safely send our kids to school, get on an airplane, or do any number of other things that freedom brings. I agree that safety, freedom, and prosperity are what a president should ensure, and this one has failed miserably.

  4. Finally, an article that is honest about Trumps many accomplishments in a secular newspaper. I agree Trump is a jerk and every time he opens his mouth he confirms that. But I honestly believe, he is one of the few politicians who actually care about America.
