But according to the upside-down logic of Donald Trump, such attacks are merely a “religious threat.” Taking to Twitter, Trump made two postings: The […]
It seems incredibly incongruous that anyone who calls him or herself a Christian could ever support or vote for Donald Trump.

There’s a good chance you’ve probably never heard of Foster Friess, when you hear what he said Tuesday CNN, you’ll probably want to forget him as quickly as possible.

Wisconsin GOP State Representative Scott Allen thought it would be a great idea to send out a video Christmas message to his constituents.
