cAllies are not ornaments. They are force multipliers. They are how America projects power without exhausting itself. They are how we avoid fighting alone, paying alone, bleeding alone. Undermining them in a moment of global tension is not toughness—it is sabotage.

Some politicians say they want a “Christian Nation” until it comes to:
Providing healthcare for the sick
Funding food assistance for the hungry
Raising the minimum wage for the poor
They want to base our laws on the Bible until they read the words of Jesus.
