The abuse of people arrested carries uncomfortable memories of what happened during Apartheid Polices’ use of the wet blanket / electric shock treatment … and if the allegations are true, the same thing happens today. If the allegation are true of what the Russians troops are accused of in the Ukraine, it is nothing short […]
I have not studied law. I am not an attorney nor am I a court judge … but having glimpses of our past president wanting “his day in court” and being granted it, he has, over a lengthy period tried every trick in the law book to either delay the trial or have it removed […]
A number of great Evangelicals from the early Reformation Days, into the Puritan Days and when George Whitefield ministered, would sing hymns and pray after a meal.
