[PART TWO] What was it like to grow up in a Communist country? Believe it or not, the similarities to what happened then and what’s happening now in the United States are startling. Sit back and listen today as two Russian immigrants share their families’ stories and explain how the Russian education system was used to usher in 70+ years of Communist totalitarianism.

Many people today are talking about Marxism in glowing terms; it’s not hard to find a college student sporting a Che Guevara t-shirt.  Very few take Marxism seriously as an idea. That’s a mistake. Marxism is here, and make no mistake—it is playing for keeps. Marxism is a philosophy but when it is lived out—communism is the result. A Marxist is a person who embraces the philosophy of Karl Marx; a Communist is a person who applies Marx’s ideas to the government and the economy. 

The best form of government is the Republican form that our founding fathers gave us, yet it proved to not be totally perfect as it has already been hijacked  by the left via our anti-American education system. Our young people have been taught the dangerous ideology that Socialism is somehow good—neverminded the fact it’s never succeeded anywhere else in the world.  There is a fair amount of confusion about the differences between Communism, Socialism, Fascism, and Capitalism.  Today, I’ll be talking about the differences.

Everywhere I look right now, people are full of anxiety and worry—and with good reason. The criminal, illogical and unscientific mask mandates are back, causing people to be unkind to each other. Wonderful men and women are being fired for not wanting to take an injection. Suicide rates are skyrocketing. We are all feeling the weight of sin in our world right now. So many “what ifs”—and yet—in the middle of it all, Jesus said, “Do not worry.” Today we’ll talk a little about how we can focus on now and not let worry steal our peace and our hope. Hang in there, everyone… you are loved.

Today, I am honored to bring back Sarah, for a second time, to talk about SEL (Social Emotional Learning) and what is really happening in our public schools. Christian teachers and administrators are desperately needed in our nation’s public schools.

Today, I am honored to have Sarah, a teacher with a 20 year career currently working in a public school. Teachers need our prayers and today, we’re talking with an insider about what’s really happening in the public schools. The NEA is corrupt, and many teachers don’t know that they can get out of it. Today, you’ll learn how!

Forced quarantine. Ankle bracelets to make sure you stay in a “Covid approved” hotel for taking the “wrong” kind of Covid test. Hawaiians are losing their freedom—but Levana Lomma is saying “Not on my watch!” Levana is my “Off the Bench” guest today - listen in an be encouraged!

Joe Biden spoke for approximately 10 minutes on his decision to withdraw from Afghanistan Monday, a decision that has quickly resulted in the radical Islamic Taliban taking control of the country. He said “the buck stops with me” but that the collapse is Donald Trump’s and Afghanistan’s fault. Today’s headlines show one thing for sure: when America’s leaders are weak, the whole world suffers.
