      Our state, Wisconsin, has a lying ad from Democrat’s about how republicans sharing data on poverty related to fatherless homes (they make it like the data is an opinion by doing an edit) on fatherless kids by having those kids talk, but the commercial only proves the point as kids say their mom works all the time as a single parent working two full-time jobs. 🤦🏽‍♀️ One woman talking about how hard her mom had to work to keep them out of poverty and she seemed completely unhinged, she didn’t disprove the data, she proved it. Fathers needing to step up is not a dis on mothers, both men and women need to mature and part of that maturity is better guidance as kids and the truth that the data shows.

    Good on you bro! I lost my career that I had been employed in for 13 years because I refused to denounce my faith, but God provides. Things were hard for a bit, my family struggled but we made it through and we are now in a better place than we were before. Glad you are out there being a beacon of God’s grace.

      Yes I have similar situation previously in my career. My boss want me not to practice my Christian Faith like doin Bible study, attending underground churches in Middle East or else I might me going to jail or deport me without pay and No Job at all. But I refused as long I’m not violating their law of the country where I work being Christian we have to follow and respect their law too., I need to stand my Faith in God and be bold what is right. Until now God provided everything that I need for my family and still going to share the Gospel of Christ Jesus…. ❤🙏

BUT, my father is a Baptist preacher in MA, my uncle a Pentecostal one, in NY, and I’m a veteran from generations of veterans from here and abroad. I may not be a basketball fan, but I will support this man’s career as long as he stands for what he stands for.
