Until COVID, we had been living in a golden age in America—and it's easy to take such a privileged life for granted. The unemployment rate had been at an all-time low (particularly for minorities).

How do you determine right from wrong, good from evil? Two perspectives are dominant: the Judeo-Christian view and the Leftist/Marxist approach.

It is difficult to value liberty without a strong understanding of history. Because naturally, humans desire equality over liberty.

“We are witnessing one of the most irrational developments in the history of the world.” The left is a destructive force, raising an entire generation to think that this country is racist, misogynist, and imperialist.
