      Once prayer and the Bible were taken out of the School system, the very fabric of our Great Nation was torn by those who have wanted to destroy her from within. It is time to drain the swamp of the Evil Morons who are still determined to carry out that task, but we, the American people have a voice in the placement in Office of the ones who will make America Great Again. Vote wisely, because our Children and our Children's Children will have to deal with the choises we make. Take care.. Stay safe.. and God bless America.

      @brucerowe - I assume you mean prayer. Please advise me how this is a prayer? And how it would harm anyone. Also there’s no rule that says prayer or praying should not be allowed in public schools or places. What is prohibited is requiring a specific church or religion should be forced on the public. All of the founding fathers as far as history shows us believed in a Providence (aka Creator or God); most of them read the Bible regularly. They also prayed before making decisions.

    I am an Iranian immigrant to the United State. In 1977 at the age of eleven we moved to America for one year. The first time I heard the pledge of allegiance it was in 6th grade at our school in Peterborough New Hampshire. And boy did I fall in love, not with one of the girls at school but with the pledge of allegiance and this great country! In 1979 we immigrated on a permanent basis to America and in 1996 I was honored to become a naturalized US citizen! And yes my whole family has since become Christians. God continue to bless America!

He was in trouble yrs ago for not renting to blacks. He's overweight and sloppy, pronounces words wrong which a third grader would know. He's paid any whore that would have him during his long illustrious life and marriages. But more importantly, he's a treasonous pig that needs to pay for his crimes against the United States.
