Senator Mike Lee: “Equality Act THREATENS religious freedom”
A powerful historical lesson is that attacks on religious institutions, often done for the purpose of forcing social change at a route that it won’t go, often have the effect of fueling religious extremism and right-wing authoritarian backlashes.

Cardi B vs. Candace Owens Shows Nature Is HEALING
The optimism about Biden’s America (“Back to the 90s”) reflected in this segment is way overstated.
