Reality Distortion in Politics
As the 2024 presidential election draws nearer, some alarming survey results are catching my attention.

Listen in as I divulge what the majority of the GOP perceives about him and some of the other candidates.LEARN MORE:Website: https://stephenmansfield.tv/Instagram: https://instagram.com/mansfieldwrites/Twitter: https://twitter.com/MansfieldWrites

Review: Sound of Freedom
This summer, an important piece of art is shaking our culture. The movie "Sound of Freedom" starring Jim Caviezel has turned the national spotlight on the issue of human trafficking. The film itself is a great piece of cinematography, and does an amazing job educating and exposing us to the evils of sex slavery, especially among children. But while this film helps the anti-trafficking cause, we mustn't let our egos get the best of us. Tune in to hear my opinion on the matter.LEARN MORE:Website: https://stephenmansfield.tv/Instagram: https://instagram.com/mansfieldwrites/Twitter: https://twitter.com/MansfieldWrites

Supreme Court Sanity
When it comes to court rulings (or anything for that matter), we mustn't be quick to believe the picture the media paints. Over the past year, the Supreme Court has handed down some lawful and rational decisions, but news outlets and even our own president have made misleading and dangerous statements about these rulings. Let's remember the role of the Supreme Court is to interpret laws, not write them.LEARN MORE:Website: https://stephenmansfield.tv/Instagram: https://instagram.com/mansfieldwrites/Twitter: https://twitter.com/MansfieldWrites

The GOP is in danger of becoming a Trump cult. While the former president did some good for our country and its foreign relations, his current actions and behavior should drive us to consider other presidential candidates. Today, I list 5 very qualified candidates who would make excellent nominees for the Republican Party. It's time to let the past be the past and look toward a future of new politicians.LEARN MORE:Website: https://stephenmansfield.tv/Instagram: https://instagram.com/mansfieldwrites/Twitter: https://twitter.com/MansfieldWrites
