Easter is the celebration of Christ’s resurrection.Christ is also the only person in history who was pre-announced starting a thousand years before he was born, with 18 different prophets from the Old Testament between the tenth and the fourth centuries BC predicting his coming birth, life, and death.

Joe Biden is visibly and cognitively impaired. We can all see it, yet the powers in charge ignore it and pretend it doesn’t matter. The Hunter Biden laptop was real, despite 50 former and current intelligence officials attesting it was “Russian propaganda,” and they pretend it doesn’t matter.

Words escape me on how people can...
