    Olympics Opening Ceremony Receives Backlash
    Jul 30 2024
    The 2024 Paris Olympics kicked off Friday with the opening ceremony taking place in Paris, France. During part of the ceremony, it appears performers attempted to reenact Leonardo DaVinci’s Last Supper, which for Christians, represents Jesus’ last meal with his twelve apostles. The scene that played out during that ceremony sparked widespread criticism from Christians and Conservatives alike. Olympic organizers insist it was not a depiction of the Last Supper but rather a scene depicting Dionysus, the Greek god of wine. Do you think it was an appropriate “performance”?

    A Pathway to Citizenship Part 2
    Jul 30 2024
    One of the big issues concerning citizens this election is the topic of immigration.

Republicans have heavily criticized Harris’ record on immigration, whereas supporters like MA Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who has endorsed Harris as president, has defended the VP, saying “we need a pathway to citizenship” and “Kamala Harris will work with Congress and get that done."
