The fallout from the embassy attacks is continuing. Some on the left now are even upset about it. Video via Gateway Pundit: Now there comes word, via one of the most liberal papers in the U.K., that the State Department actually knew that these attacks were coming, and did absolutely nothing: The killings of the US ambassador …
This is one of those stories that makes me want to stick out my chest and go “Harrumph!” The Video: Beautiful Quote: Doyle said God is using Christians to transform lives. “As the believers get a chance to feed them and then they are trusted as safe people, they’ve had many opportunities to share the …
