The danger of political correctness as it changes the way we interact with each other and shapes the perception of truth is now undeniable. How we respond will determine the future. The danger of active shooters in schools and the work place are a symptom of the decay of our moral underpinnings and the social media template we live in. The crazy world of politics makes the danger of rising anti-Semitism and socialism slowly seep into fabric if our lives.
A high achiever at school, Jessica’s life completely changed at the end of 2005, when she caught a virus that her body just couldn’t get over.

Emily Kustka found joy differently than most nine year olds. She enjoyed going with Grandma Kathy to help feed the homeless. She loved the feeling she got in making people happy! As Emily explains it, “My favorite thing to do was serve lunch to the homeless in Downtown Raleigh with the Bread of Life Ministry.” She quickly became frustrated in the way children were viewed and their lack of leadership roles for children volunteers; so in 2010, Emily created and organized her very first annual community food drive by posting notes throughout the neighborhood and asking folks for donations to feed the hungry. After finding out that people would give to a good cause when asked, Emily would continue that streak of successful food drives to the point where it became systematically in how she would approach each drive. She created a 5 step plan for each food drive⏤to insure maximum results. That 5 step plan is something she uses today to teach others the success metrics of a successful food drive. “Over the last eight years we’ve collected over 8,200 pounds of food, proving that you’re never too young to make a difference,” Emily explained about the food drives, providing […]

America is now at a crossroads that will spell the future of America for generations to come. Our Congress is dysfunctional, the left is off the rails, and the President is on his own to make the policies that will save the nation. So consumed are the Democrats with their loss of the 2016 election, and the failure of the Mueller Report to find a single crime on which to indict the President, that they have been relegated to wild accusations, based on lies and blather. In the mean time, Hamas has lit the match that may set off a new and bloodier war against Israel than has ever happened before. And because Israel is our strong ally, this will involve America as well. This is a story that hasn’t ended yet.
What explains the Democrats tolerance of anti-Semitism among some of its leaders. Given the Democrat’s widespread Jewish support, why have their national leaders not worked harder to protect Jewish people in America and abroad?
