— by WILLIAM STERR — It’s election time again in America. There are two choices as to which way to go. Any other choice is a wasted vote or a vote for the opposite side, say those running for office. “You have no choice” because the other side will mean the end of America as [&hell[...]

Review: The American Question

— by BEV QUESTAD — The rest of the world has a question about America. Why the gravitation to someone like Donald Trump? Guy Seemann, an Israeli-born entrepreneur and political operative, sought out the answer to America’s great divide and extremist lean. For eight years, he interviewe[...]

Review: Borderland: The Line Within

— by BEV QUESTAD — I don’t understand the American immigration policy. I am so confused I can’t find my way to a position. Almost every other country has a border policy, so why the cry-out? Why is it even an election year trigger point? And why on earth is the projected budget for t[...]

— by WILLIAM STERR — The Rapture is a belief, held by some Christians, that all believers, both living and dead, will ascend into heaven to meet Jesus Christ. This will be followed by a period of Tribulation for those who remain on earth. Among those remaining, some have renounced speech[...]
