Trump Skewers Deep State Agency, Looks to Save Billions

From the Newsroom: There Are Two Genders

The Full Amount
The last few weeks have been hard, with the inflation getting worse and the cold weather starting to get to us.

Now that I’m a father, I can’t imagine the stress and anxiety she experienced knowing she could never, ever “Keep up With the Joneses” and have a boatload of gifts under the tree for her excited children.

From the Newsroom: Choose Joy
“Perhaps you sense that we prepare for and celebrate Christmas doing the opposite of what brings peace and joy to the world. Maybe we embrace too much of the secular culture and not enough of the Gospel culture. Are we able to listen to God in the midst of all this?”
