Because of the multiplication of wickedness, distressing things will happen
Saturday, July 2 2022.
"In politics, never assume that because something is insane, it will not be done. The Holocaust was as insane as it was a moral horror. But it was done. Even after the tide of war turned against Germany and it faced invasion and devastation, Hitler continued to pour scarce resources into the […]
