You don’t have to — this literally happened in Northern Ireland last week, and it’ll happen in the United States, too, if we don’t push back on state-sanctioned secularism. Retired pastor Clive Johnston was convicted of breaching a “safe […]

It could very well be that the embarrassing spelling and clerical errors Virginia’s attorney general’s office has made in the legal battle over redistricting are due to incompetence.
