Shocking and troubling news — Stranger Things are happening right in our own backyards. AmeriCorp youth working at the Ohio River Islands Refuge received a termination notice and were told to pack their bags immediately. How incredibly sad and unbelievable! This is yet another blow to American institutions by the billionaire elite whose goal is to tear down democracy. Our church recently hosted a dinner to meet these fine youth. These volunteers expressed love of country by helping communities such as ours. Can you imagine how devastated they must be by this injustice? ...

The Trump Administration has spent the first ninety days of its tenure tearing down the very fabric of American Government. The theory appears to be that destruction is a necessary part of any “improvements” that they plan to make. The problem with this particular group of incompetent clowns is that they don’t care about the responsibility to improve the lives of individuals they govern and have no understanding of foreign policy or the world economy.
