Carry Pride With You

Unlike Target, my local Shoprite supermarket had no fear of offending their customers and expressing their support for the LGBTQ community and Pride Month. Standing in the checkout line where these Pride bags were being sold,  I witnessed no child

Honoring Our Fallen Soldiers

Our fallen soldier’s sacrifices deserve better stewardship of the country they loved. We have squandered and made a mockery of the precious American principles they fought and died for. Millions of sons and daughters did not give their lives so

A Picture-Perfect Mother’s Day
