As my family was visiting Rome in February of 2020, we took a tour of the Colosseum only to discover a statue of Moloch, the pagan deity of child sacrifice, being displayed. It was truly shocking. The Colosseum is viewed by many Christians as a sacred site because early Christians were martyred there. Sacrifice and resurrection are what we celebrate on Easter.
But the devil is staging a counter-attack. On Good Friday, a Nation of Islam lunatic fanatic attacked the Capitol and died in a confrontation with police. He killed one officer and injured another.

There are times when even I think I am guilty of piling on black people, especially when I remind myself that some of my nicest neighbors are members of a black family.
But thereâs the rub. There are many decent, hard-working, tax-paying black people. But put them in a group and they suddenly reflect the lowest common denominator. It certainly doesnât help their overall image that 95% of them will vote for any dope on the ballot so long as they spot a (D) after his or her name.
