After seeing the movie....all of this just keeps playing in my mind, over and over....the God given miracle of Ballard even going on this mission...so many divine intervention things had to happen, for him to have these successful raids...the movie....the movie finally being released, etc.
And, Edwardo is even MORE handsome, in the movie, if you can imagine that. 💗
Here is an interesting write up, with some great back story details, about Sound of Freedom...apologies, if already posted....

Great article....thanks for the link.
This jumped out at me......
“The economy of pedophilia. The United States is the number one consumer of child exploitation material. We are the demand. So, that means that traffickers want to get children into that dark market. There’s a lot of money to be made here. The United States, also according to the State Department, is in the top three countries for destination countries for human trafficking. So, there’s every incentive to get children into America, into the black markets here of pedophilia.
And so, when I find out that in the last couple of years that at least 85,000 — I think it’s much higher than that — that at least 85,000 unaccompanied minors [have shown up at the border], thousands of them, I’ve seen the CBP reports, are under five years old. Why is a three-year-old showing up at the border? Well, I can tell you why, because they show up with a name, the name of the sponsor that they’re given by the trafficker. HHS gets the kids and they by law have to call the number.
*pretends to pick up phone*
‘Hi, we have Jose Gonzalez, Mr. George Smith.’
‘Yeah, yeah, that’s my kid, whatever.’
They used to actually fly down and have to pick the kid up. Not anymore. Our taxpayer dollars will [now] send the kid by plane or bus to this ‘sponsor’, no background check, no DNA, nothing. And they deliver the kids. Our taxpayer dollars are literally, for the first time in American history, our taxpayer dollars are going to facilitate the last leg of a child trafficking event.”
