    If mormons said they were persecuted so they needed their own nation and took over the state of Texas. People wouldn’t be saying we needed to give them billions of $’s. Mormons were persecuted. They don’t need their own country.

    Joy, I’m with you on being dumbfounded how Americans who believes in the rights God gave all his creations. Will come after NY mayor for being against what civil rights activists died to gain. Mamdani is a great young American. Who’s principals are honorable. And his bravery is admired.

  • Forsaking Her Purported Values

    I’m extremely disappointed to see Joy siding with people who did not sincerely apologize for using a racial slur. I’ve seen organizations chanting the slur in posts after people said they were offended by it. Joy has forsaken the people that have supported her and the values she claims to have.

    I will no longer be a listener.
