I just pre-ordered John Bolton's book. I'm sure it will be fascinating, but it also gets bonus points for simultaneously defending the First Amendment and being a huge "one-fingered salute" to Trump.

Let me echo the thanks of all of us for the many hours of hard work you put into these 'Letters from an American'. They comprise an important part of my soul's daily bread. They nourish my mind and spirit, and provide a perspective that helps keep me oriented and at least marginally hopeful. The realization that we have, as a nation, faced so much in the past that threatened our continued existence, and somehow managed to wobble our way forward is a wee, small glimmer in the dark tunnel of these times. Gosh, that sounded pretty dark coming from a woman who's a cockeyed optimist at heart!

Onward and upward!

“Christian organizations should never be forced to hire people who do not align with their biblical beliefs and should not be prevented from terminating a person whose lifestyle and beliefs undermine the ministry’s purpose and goals.” So then based on Graham's statement, if I don't want to hire, say, a Republican because they don't align with my moral and political beliefs that should be my right. Considering his statement, I guess we could fill in the blanks. I don't want to hire people because their skin color, gender, heritage, etc do not align. "Christian organizations", their hypocrisy makes me so enraged.
