One day soon most of us will be looking back at the decadence of 1920-2020, especially pop culture post 1965, with increasing horror. You really don’t know how completely horrible the likes of Cardi B could seem to normal people.

I absolutely love this guy’s politically incorrect songs. A true pro, toiling in the trenches because he’s true to a message and sound that corporate twits hate.
Here is a thing not many people know of. In many countries around the world, it is difficult, even very dangerous, to be a Christian. Communists still hate Christianity, as do Muslims; in some place, even organize crime makes it hard. Read.
