Needed: Christians with the Courage of J.D. Vance
Wheaton’s collapse is in sharp contrast to the character Vice President J.D. Vance recently displayed.

Their Target is ‘the Very Core of Modern American Liberalism’
Glenn Ellmers, a research fellow at the Claremont Institute, claimed in his March 2021 essay “Conservatism Is No Longer Enough”: Most people living in the United States today — certainly more than half — are not Americans in any meaningful sense of the term.

Obviously, those foreigners who have bypassed the regular process for entering our country are aliens and will probably never assimilate to our language and culture — politically as well as legally. The many native-born people — some of whose families have been here since the Mayflower — may technically be citizens of the United States but are no longer Americans. They do not believe in, live by or even like the principles, traditions and ideals that until recently defined America as a nation and as a people.
