Is the MAGA Hat the Mark of the Beast
Does the Bible explain how Trump is actually the Antichrist?

Why was a controller managing two simultaneous emergencies on adjacent runways, alone, at midnight?
Becsuse libertarians and libertarian adjacent people like the current GOP see everything as a business that needs to be streamlined to nothing even though the government kind of exists to provide needed services that can't be run by the private sector due to "profit needs".Why was a controller managing two simultaneous emergencies on adjacent runways, alone, at midnight?
The first report comes from the V-Dem Institute at the University of Gothenburg in Sweden, the largest global dataset on democracy that exists. Over 4,200 scholars and country experts, covering 202 countries, with data going back to 1789. This isn’t a think tank with a political agenda. This is a massive, rigorous, academic measurement system used by political scientists around the world. And their conclusion was devastating: in a single year, the United States experienced the most rapid democratic decline in its history. Our ranking plummeted from 20th to 51st out of 179 countries. We now sit between Slovakia and Greece. Our Liberal Democracy Index score fell 24 percent in one year. And for the first time in over 50 years, the United States lost its classification as a ‘liberal democracy’ and was downgraded to what they call an ‘electoral democracy,’ meaning we still hold elections, but we no longer have the fully functioning checks and balances, the rule of law protections, and the civil liberties that define a liberal democracy. We haven’t been in that lower category since 1965. Before the Voting Rights Act was fully implemented. That’s how far we’ve been set back.
The United States just received its lowest press freedom ranking since Reporters Without Borders began tracking in 2002. Countries like Sierra Leone, Romania, and Liberia now rank above us in press freedom. Countries that have lived through civil wars and dictatorships have freer press environments than the United States of America right now.
Probably getting decorating ideas for The White House.President Trump spent part of the day Monday at Graceland. I can't be arsed to look up a news article on it to find out why.

Trump’s War Is Destroying the MAGA Catholic Coalition
Ted Cruz endorsed an essay calling traditional Catholics "parasites." Bishop Barron rebuked Prejean Boller as "absurd." The Iran war made both ruptures permanent.www.thelettersfromleo.com
