Kevin Faulconer is ready to be mayor
San Diego is the 8th largest city in the nation and there continues to be serious issues facing our city. Now more than ever, we need a qualified man with leadership experience; a moderate that can work with both Democrats and Republicans. Our city cannot afford “on the job training” in leadership and non-partisanship. If…
Finding fellowship with Rainbow RV
Nestled along the Pacific Ocean at the beautiful Chula Vista RV Camp, hundreds of decorated rigs – from pink flamingo patio sets, to rainbow string lights – gather as one.

My mother asked fundamental questions like “Why would God kill all those people?” “They were not all evil, why were so many taken” or “Why…

Rape and predation talk about trans youth
How does one respond to the statement, “There is a demon of rape inside of this [transgender] movement to violate your daughters.” Do you laugh and shake your head at the stupidity? Do you brush it off? Or, do you cry? Former Navy Chaplain Gordon James Klingenschmitt has a YouTube channel entitled Pray In Jesus…
