Comparing Root Canals to the Alternatives

by Tiffany Pratt

It’s 2019, which means that many things have changed, including your insurance policy and coverage. Now is the perfect time for you to get a major procedure, such as a root canal. However, it is important to keep in mind that a root canal can be really expensive. Additionally, your insurance might not cover the entire procedure. Today, there are many popular alternatives to root canals, but keep in mind that they might not all be as effective as they claim to be.

What Is a Root Canal?

If you have a significantly damaged or infected tooth, then a root canal may be the only solution that will help repair your teeth and save them. The damage normally results from trauma, a deep cavity, cracked tooth enamel, or repeated dental treatments, and dentist follow several steps in the procedure to repair damaged teeth.

According to Dr. Bagheri, clinical Associate Professor at New York University College of Dentistry, root canal treatment starts with x-rays and is followed by the damaged section of the tooth pulp being removed using local anesthesia (also referred to as a pulpectomy). Then, the inside of your tooth is cleaned and disinfected. Finally, the tooth is sealed after being filled with gutta-percha material.

When the root canal is done, a filling or crown will restore the tooth to its former glory.

Alternatives to Root Canals

When it comes to root canals, a few alternatives are available. However, it is important to know about each of the alternatives beforehand so that you have a better idea of what will work best for you. The dentist will also help determine which alternative is best.

The alternatives to root canals are explained below.

Extraction

Known for being one of the most popular alternatives to root canals, extraction is recommended if your insurance does not cover much. In this procedure, the dentist will extract the offending tooth. The dentist may also replace the tooth with a bridge, partial denture, or implant.

The American Association of Endodontists believes that extraction does not compare with the benefits of saving the natural tooth.

Natural Remedies

Food choices considerably impact your overall oral health. Natural remedy proponents believe that there are other ways that can help dental infections heal, such as a specific diet. The process involves the elimination of all types of processed sugars from your diet, avoiding grain products, consuming high-quality protein, and not drinking alcohol.

Now is the time to embrace a much healthier lifestyle. However, eating vegetables and fruits will not restore a cracked tooth or fill a deep dental cavity.

Ozone Gas

Another popular alternative is ozone gas. It helps irrigate the root cavity. Interventional neuroradiologists have researched ozone gas and found that ozone can penetrate deep into the tubules of your teeth, which is beyond the drilled area. This penetration allows the dentist to save more of your tooth because the gas kills bacteria, resulting in a root canal being averted altogether.

Despite what the evidence might suggest about ozone gas disinfecting teeth beneath the enamel, the infection could return later on, and a root canal will be necessary then. However, this alternative could buy you some extra time if you cannot afford a root canal at the moment.

Calcium Hydroxide

Calcium hydroxide is quite similar to ozone gas. Irrigating with calcium hydroxide helps deter any bacterial growth in your tooth canals. Calcium hydroxide can dissolve any remaining dead tissues because it is an alkaline substance, and it prevents bacterial growth as per the findings of AAE. However, calcium hydroxide is toxic, and it must be carefully placed within the canal using a needle or file.

Conclusion

The cause of the pain is not the root canal but the infected or damaged tooth tissue. Although the above alternatives to a root canal might seem promising, none of them have the potential to offer a long-term solution.

There is a reason why root canal treatments are popular. They enable patients to ensure that their natural teeth are retained, and that they can chew effectively and smile confidently. He only way to avoid the need for root canal treatment is by adopting a healthy oral hygiene lifestyle. Brush your teeth twice daily!

Peace of Mind: Knowing Who Your Kids Are Around

by Tammy Jones

Nothing gives us peace of mind more than knowing who our kids are around. As parents, it’s our responsibility to protect them from harm (as best as we can) which includes knowing the specifics about the people they interact with.

Luckily, that peace of mind is easy to attain, as there are so many tools that can help us conduct our own people’s search. All we have to do is type their name into a search bar and we can look up information about babysitters, friends, distant family members, teachers, and more, instantly.

Looking for peace of mind about who your kids are around? Here’s how.

Online People Search

An online people search is a simple online scan for information about specific people. Essentially, a computer algorithm crawls millions of online databases for data about your person, including past offenses, criminal records, things they’ve posted on the internet. Not only is it an incredibly informative tool for parents, but for teachers, people in the dating scene, hiring managers, and more. That peace of mind knowing people who are who they say they are is priceless, and an online people search can provide that.

Choosing the Right One

Not all online people search platforms are the same. Some require a subscription or payment first, and others don’t provide you with the plethora of information you need to make a sound decision as a parent. Knowing everything there is to know about someone close to your kids means knowing the details that matter.

Fortunately, there’s Glad I Know. Glad I Know provides a wealth of information for things you’d want to know about the people around your kids.

Conducting A People Search

Now that you’re ready to attain the peace of mind that comes from knowing all about who’s around your kids, you can begin to conduct your online people search. Here’s how:

1. Make Sure You Have the Right Person

That seems obvious, but you’d be surprised how many people out there identical names.

You may find a mug shot of someone and scare yourself silly, despite that it’s a completely different person. So, before doing your people search, make sure you have the right person, plus a few bits of specific information about them so you know beyond a doubt it’s them.

2. Choose Your “People Search Engine”

Again, not all people searches are the same. Ideally, the best one would be a homepage with a simple search bar just like Google that you can simply type their name in. Therefore, it’s best to opt for a trusted site like Glad I Know. It’s a game-changing person information platform, person search and non-FCRA background screening platform which gives you highly valuable insight and intelligence on nearly any adult in the U.S. Your search on Glad I Know is simple, inexpensive and always 100% CONFIDENTIAL. The only person that knows about your search and the results is you.

3. Type a Name or Address in the Search Bar

It really is as simple as that. On the home page of Glad I Know, simply type their name or address in the search bar to populate information about anyone, instantly. The database is vast, which is why it’ll be helpful to know a few specifics to line up who’s who.

Finding Peace of Mind Through Intuition

One thing that’s important to know about online people searches is that that you can’t know everything. Yes, an online people search can tell you everything on file about a person, your good old intuition has a lot to say about it, too. Your intuition has a lot to do with who your kids are around. A clean people search is a key start, but if something still doesn’t feel right in your intuition, you should always go with that. Just because someone doesn’t have a public record, doesn’t mean your kids should be around them.

Is ‘Beto’ O’Rourke Unusually Naïve or Deliberately Deceptive?

by Guest Author

By Dave Workman

Perhaps the lingering question in the aftermath of the October Democratic presidential debate is whether former Texas Congressman Robert Francis “Beto” O’Rourke is naïve or just plain stupid in his repeated insistence that if a law banning so-called “assault weapons” were passed, the millions of citizens who own them would dutifully line up and turn them in.

In appearances on MSNBC with Joe Scarborough, O’Rourke insisted first that he is “not talking about confiscating anybody’s guns,” and then dove straight into a scenario where guns would have to be surrendered or “there has to be consequences.”

But, as noted by the Daily Caller, O’Rourke clings to his belief that turning in guns is exactly what law-abiding citizens would do.

“But my faith is in this country and in my fellow Americans,” he told Scarborough, “following the law and listening to people who own AK-47s and AR-15s, who concede they don’t need it for self-protection. They don’t need it to hunt. Its real true purpose and use is on a battlefield.”

He made the same argument to CNN’s Alisyn Camerota, insisting, “Our fellow Americans will follow the law…If we pass this law, then I expect our fellow Americans to follow the law and this is not speculation. We’ve seen other countries do this.”

Second Amendment activists have been tilting back in disbelief. First, they note, other countries do not have a Second Amendment protection of the fundamental right to keep and bear arms as the U.S. Constitution and some 40 state constitutions have. And, as Scarborough argued with O’Rourke, some people will simply refuse to give up their guns.

O’Rourke fired right back, as noted by the Washington Examiner, “In that case, I think there would be a visit by law enforcement to recover that firearm and to make sure that it is purchased, bought back, so that it cannot potentially be used against somebody else.”

Whatever O’Rourke might call that scenario, it boils down to confiscation by law enforcement of firearms. The Democrat candidate was careful to insist that the gun would be “purchased” by the police, but in the gun rights community, that’s being called “compensated confiscation.” It is the sort of thing that at least some on social media have suggested would lead to a second Civil War. Whether that war would play out in election booths or on urban battlefields, nobody has speculated to that much detail.

But this whole notion suggests that for someone who had served in Congress, O’Rourke has a stunning lack of understanding about the Constitution and the law, and he is totally out of touch with this nation’s gun owners. He claims to have talked to owners of AR-15 and AK-47 rifles who said they would surrender their guns, but none of these individuals has come forward to confirm the story.

Possibly the only thing O’Rourke has accomplished is to keep alive the impression American gun owners have, that “Beto” is bonkers, and that he and his fellow Democrats fully intend to confiscate privately-owned firearms.

At least, he may think that’s going to happen. Waiting in the wings is a battalion of attorneys and Second Amendment scholars, supported by rights activists, who have quite the opposite in mind.

Democrats Are Scared That the Actual TRUTH Just Might Get Exposed, God Forbid!

by Richard Ferguson

Oh, horrors of all horrors. This is just plain sick any way you look at it. This is a new low for the lowest of the low Democrat party. The Democrats are scared to death that the truth of their evil shenanigans might get discovered regarding their whistleblower HOAX against Pres. Trump. So, they are taking extraordinary steps to hide every aspect of the evil they are perpetrating against our president and every American citizen living in the United States. This means they are hiding every aspect of their evil deeds from you and your children. They want to make sure that the truth of what they are up to is never exposed.

The below article written by Christina Laila for the Gateway pundit describes this evil they are perpetrating against every man woman and child in the United States of America. The Democrat leadership is pure evil in every way. They have taken our countries principles of love and turned them into hating everyone at all cost.

Ask yourself this question: are the Democrats showing any love for you by purposely hiding all aspects of this so-called whistleblower hoax from the American people? Hell no! Double hell no! This is a hateful and preposterous scheme that flies in the face of everything this country stands for. I guess Democrats really hate Superman too. He stands for “truth, justice and the American way”. The following article is very informative.

REPORT: Dems Consider Hiding Identity of Whistleblower from GOP Lawmakers by Holding Testimony in Remote Location – Changing His Appearance, Voice 

Written by Cristina Laila | Source: The Gateway Pundit | October 07, 2019 09:32 PM

House Democrats are considering hiding the Deep State CIA officer’s identity by holding his testimony in a remote location.

The Washington Post reported on Monday, citing three people familiar with the discussions, that Democrats are going to go to great lengths to conceal the ‘whistleblower’s’ identity by holding his testimony in a remote location and even changing his physical appearance and voice.

The Democrats also want to bar GOP lawmakers from questioning the whistleblower and only allow staffers to question him outside of the Capitol.

Ask yourself another question: What are they trying to hide? The truth is the truth is that not? Only liars try to hide things. Only dishonest criminals try to hide their crimes. If there ever was proof that the Democrat leadership are a pack of criminals and liars, this certainly points to that very fact.

I suggest that the criminal element of the Democrat leadership improve their tactics in hiding their whistleblower testimony by doing the following. I encourage them to employee NASA and their rocket expertise. I would load up a rocket with their super-secret whistleblower and the appropriate number of dishonest lawyers. I would blast their butts to the other side of the moon. This would ensure that nobody could listen in to the miserable false testimony that the hoax whistleblower would give. This is what they want. Who would want to listen to a pack of lies anyway?

Let them have a party on the other side of the moon after the hoax testimony has been given. Then let them realize that the United States does not have the technology nor does their rocket have enough fuel for the return trip. So, let them gaze at the stars with their false and fake testimony as the last thing they ever do. I can only imagine the expression on their faces when they find out that they are not coming back.

None of us here on earth do not have to wonder what was said because it has negative value to begin with. Said differently we all will benefit from not having to live through the pack of lies they would have foisted upon us all. Then let them squirm and yell at each other about how unfair everything is which is what they do on earth anyway. Let them complain how much of a victim they are which is also what they do on earth too. But at least they will know that they have achieved the ultimate in security by thwarting any of those nasty Republicans from ever listening in on what their super-secret whistleblower had to say in their super secret proceedings for remember they think they are far better than the rest of us just like every tyrant in history has thought.

Remember, the Democrat party leadership does indeed think that they are far better than everyone else including you and me. Even though they have an adolescent mindset no matter how old they are like Bernie Sanders they think they know better than the rest of us and they are damned determined to force their ideology on us even if it means going to the moon in secrecy. Let’s just make sure that they go to the other side of the moon and stay there. Have fun people and goodbye forever.

Lastly, if anyone votes Democrat in the 2020 election you will certainly need to have your head examined by going to a proctologist.

5 Simple Ways to Make a Room More Soothing

by LouAnn Moss

There’s nothing better than coming home after a long day of work. Stepping in the front door and knowing you’re entering a place of ultimate relaxation is one of the best things you can do for yourself. However, a lot of people fall into the trap of having a home or a room that does the opposite, adding stress and fatigue. To help you on your venture to a total repose, we’ve come up with a few different ways to make a room more soothing—check it out below.

Try Feng Shui

For centuries, feng shui has played a role in improving a room’s overall atmosphere. The mood that you want to create can be impacted by the different elements you bring into the room. One of the best things you can do to make a room more soothing comes into play with the color of the room. When you’re trying to sort out which color your room should be, think first about how color and feng shui tie into one another. Color is the first step to a more soothing room.

Invest in Good and Comfortable Furniture

If you really want to be comfortable in relaxed in your home and in a specific room, you need to make sure that you have truly comfortable furniture. That may mean splurging a bit more than you normally would, but the investment will be well worth it. If you’re trying to relax in your bedroom, then a good mattress should be number one on your list. If you want to change the mood of your living room, search for a brilliant couch. Either way, pay attention to how the furniture can impact your body’s reaction to the room.

Get Rid of Clutter

Clutter drains. Too much stuff can weaken a room’s general energy and can add chaos to your house that’s hard to get over. Eliminate the clutter that’s on the various surfaces in the room. Opt for hidden storage, instead of having clothes, papers, and toys all around the home. Taking the time to clean things up once a day will not only help you feel a bit better about your stress but will bring relaxation as well.

Add Some Scents

Whether it’s with candles or essential oils, scents evoke strong emotional reactions while also contributing to the calming mood of the room. Choose smells that make you happy, and if it’s in the bedroom, steer clear of invigorating scents, as they keep you energized rather than calm. Give your space a pleasant fragrance—lavender, rose, and vanilla are all excellent starting points.

Pay Attention to the Lighting

Our last way to make a room more soothing deals with your space’s lighting. Bright lights are way too intense for relaxation, so make sure to switch out those for their calmer counterparts. Stick to dimmers and three-way bulbs in the bedroom and the majority of rooms in your home, apart from kitchens and bathrooms. Your eyes, head, and inner peace will thank you!

American Family Association Calls for Prayer for the President; 11,000+ Have Committed to Pray Daily

by Guest Author

As the Nation Seems to Be Unraveling in Hatred, AFA  Offers Prayer as a  Solution for the Chaos, Anger and Division in Washington

TUPELO, Miss.—Like many patriotic Americans, leaders at American Family Association (AFA, www.afa.net) are saddened by the chaos, anger and division in Washington as well as outraged by the secular Left’s unending assaults against the founding principles of the republic.

Therefore, in a new Action Alert to its nearly 1 million friends and supporters, AFA is calling for a solution to some of the nation’s problems by turning to the only solution—God.

“Many in the media have become deceivers and backbiters because they no longer report truth based on facts,” said AFA President Tim Wildmon. “Liberal journalists and news anchors are no longer trustworthy because they are nothing more than mouthpieces for ‘fake news’ outlets.”

Wildmon said he agrees with the Rev. Franklin Graham, who recently said: “Our nation seems to be unraveling in hatred. There are forces out to destroy our country and the freedoms we all love. I hope everyone reading this will stop and take a minute to pray for this country, for our leaders, and especially for our president.”

“ This is a critical time for America,” Wildmon continued. “We need to pray for God to intervene. We need to ask the Lord to protect, strengthen, encourage and guide our nation and our president. I believe the only hope for him, and this nation, is God. We know that God hears and answers prayer. He can soften hearts and change minds. He is all-powerful, and He rules over the affairs of nations. The Bible instructs us to pray for those in authority, ‘that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior” ( 1 Timothy 2:2–3, NKJV ).

To this end, AFA is asking patriotic and godly citizens to join the pro-family organization to pray daily for America and President Donald Trump. Thus far, more than 11,000 have vowed to pray every day for the nation.

“I believe that our prayers are the most effective means of stopping the malicious cancer of hatred now spreading across our nation,” Wildmon added.

Specifically, AFA is suggesting several ways the faithful can help put America back on the path to God’s plan:

 

JOIN AFA in daily prayer, and ask as many people as possible to pray also.
SIGN the  AFA petition  to President Trump, and pledge to pray daily for him and the nation. The petition reads:

“It is sad to see the ugliness coming from elected officials in Washington. It is a shame that adults are unrestrained in their disrespect for public office, common decency and one another. Count on me to pray for our nation and President Trump. May hearts turn to God, that He may forgive our sins and heal our land.”

 

 

URGE local churches and pastors to begin a special prayer emphasis for the president and the nation.

View the media page for AFA here. For more information on American Family Association, visit www.afa.net or follow AFA on Facebook or on Twitter @AmericanFamAssc.

Please join the special prayer group on Facebook, Prayers for the USA.

Alzheimer’s Disease Prevention Through Autoimmune Testing

by Dr. Chad Larson

According to the Alzheimer’s Organization, 500,000 Americans develop Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) each year. In fact, AD is responsible for killing more Americans than prostate and breast cancer combined.

And the latest research shows that environmental triggers play an influential role in the development of AD. Once thought to be contracted primarily through genetics, scientists have learned that over 95 percent of Alzheimer’s cases are the result of environmental factors. Scientists have shown that the development of AD is based on ongoing inflammation, and the buildup of two proteins in the brain called amyloid beta and tau, which are involved in plaque and tangle formation.

The cause of the inflammation and buildup of these proteins rests in the immune reactivity caused by environmental, internal and external triggers that are involved in amyloid plaque and tangle formation. When detected, the immune system produces antibodies to attack and neutralize the environmental antigens. The problem is that sometimes the antibodies also attack self-tissues, which have similar structure to the antigen. This is known as cross-reactivity. As a result of cross-reactivity, serious damage can be done to various brain tissues, the nervous system and growth factors that sustain and protect cognitive functions.

More simply put, the immune system’s attack on bacteria and other environmental triggers cross-reacts with certain human proteins, causing an autoimmune attack against the person’s own brain tissue. These findings, though complicated and disturbing, offer hope for progress on preventative measures we can all take when it comes to conditions of cognitive decline like AD. We now know that having a family history of AD does not have to lead to a diagnosis of dementia.

As each one of us is unique in structure, genetic makeup and function, we also each respond differently to environmental factors including allergens in the air, foods that we consume and chemicals and other elements that we are exposed to. So, what affects one person will not necessarily affect the next person the same way. Although there are elements (such as lead and mercury) that are known to be toxic, or foods (like dairy and gluten) that are common allergens for many, none of these will affect everybody the same. While one person’s system may react greatly to something, the next individual may not react at all. Unfortunately, sensitivities to environmental factors, whether food or otherwise, can cause serious autoimmune reactivity and cross-reactivity that can lead to many different diseases, including Alzheimer’s.

This scientific discovery promotes the importance of AD prevention rather than focusing solely on treatment. With that in mind, here are some proactive measures that you can take for the early detection and prevention of cognitive decline and AD:

Eat a healthy diet – We all know that a healthy diet rich in vegetables and healthy protein is the key to overall good health and disease prevention. Alzheimer’s Disease is no exception. The inflammation and even insulin resistance that results from sugars, alcohol, dairy, trans fats and processed foods can inhibit the communication of brain cells through the damage of neurons. For this reason, diabetics are more susceptible to AD. A diet rich in vegetables, healthy proteins and Omega-3 fats is the best fuel for the brain. Many medical professionals believe a Mediterranean diet to be excellent for the prevention of AD.
Identifying and removing environmental triggers that your body is reactive to – Pathological changes of Alzheimer’s are classified into three stages:
Preclinical
Mild Cognitive Impairment
Dementia

It is in the preclinical stage that testing for triggers can be the most beneficial and present the most telling results. Alzheimer’s LINX™, a groundbreaking new test for detecting Alzheimer’s-Associated Immune Reactivity, can help detect antibodies up to 20 years before symptoms actually occur. Cyrex Laboratories, a clinical laboratory specializing in environmentally-induced autoimmunity, is the first to offer a test of this kind, giving promise to the early prevention of AD.

Get adequate sleep – The rule of 8 hours of sleep a night is a general guideline. As with environmental reactions, individuals differ in the amount of sleep they require. This variance does not only occur from one person to the next, but also from one day to the next, or one life stage to the next. Listen to your body and get the rest that you need. Our bodies heal and cells regenerate when we sleep. It is important to listen to the signals your body is sending you to adequately recharge for healthy physical and brain function.
Exercise – According to the Alzheimer’s Research & Prevention Foundation, regular physical exercise can reduce your risk of developing AD by up to 50 percent. Exercise protects against AD and an overall loss in cognitive function by stimulating the brain’s ability to maintain old connections as well as make new ones.

We tend to associate our diets with how we look and how it affects our cardiovascular health. Likewise, we attribute harmful environmental elements to the development of cancer. Thanks to recent medical findings, we have learned that the food we put in our bodies and the environmental elements we are exposed to can directly affect our brain and its cognitive function and wellbeing. If you have played high-impact sports, are experiencing memory loss, suffer from diabetes or gastrointestinal disorders, have a family history of AD, or you are just interested in preventing the development of AD, please speak to your health care provider to learn about your options. Remember that prevention supersedes treatment for any disease!

Democrat party Leadership Impeachment Obsession stems from the Two-headed Hydra of Immaturity and Immorality

by Richard Ferguson

First, nothing said here is against Democrat voters who are generally decent people. This is about Democrat party leaders in Congress who tend to act like a bunch of spoiled adolescents with seemingly little attachment to the foundations of truth and reality.

Two key planks to the current chaotic Democrat impeachment obsession are Immaturity and Immorality. The first stems from a juvenile delinquent psychological state of affairs in the minds of the Democrat party leaders. The second their absence of a moral foundation.

IMMATURITY. Some adolescents are characterized by certain outward emotional and behavioral indicators birthed in immaturity and selfishness. They may include:

Anxiety and mood swings

Argumentation, anger, and irritability
Problems with personal identity
Self-centeredness and strong emotions
Insufficient knowledge of how the world works
Inability to reason issues through
Thinking they know more than they really do

The winner in the “I am mad as hell” category has got to be Bernie Sanders. If he ever cracked a smile, he might snap a ligament in his face due to atrophied happy muscles. Runners-up in this category include Chucky Schumer who does his level best to act intelligently in the absence of any substantive position, and Rashida Tlaib with her large oral cavity often open uttering obscenities, Elizabeth Pocahontas Warren with her index finger in the air while, complaining and calling good things bad.

The winner in the anxiety and mood swing category is Adam Schiff who sports the look of fearing getting caught with his hand in the cookie jar. During interviews, his eyes get big as if to say, “I wonder if they’ll find out what I’m really up to.”

The winner in the “problems with personal identity” category is clearly Elizabeth Pocahontas Warren. Claiming to be a native Indian she got preferential treatment at Harvard. The runner-up is Nancy Pelosi because she cannot figure out if she is a cheerleader for the Democrat caucus or an attack dog against President Trump. She is failing at both because I’ve never seen the Democrat party so disorganized with its members rightfully being labeled as “the wild tongues”.

The winner in the “I have no clue how the world works but that doesn’t stop me from pontificating science” category just must be Alexandra Ocasio Cortez. To me, AOC looks like she barely has entered adolescence and has absolutely no idea how the physical and spiritual world works or her place in it. But that doesn’t stop her because unfortunately, confidence often accompanies ignorance.

Lastly at the winner of the “caustic destructive influence” category is a tie. They call themselves the squad. The two premiere winners and members are Alexandra Ocasio Cortez and Rashida Tlaib. A close second is Ilhan Omar who doesn’t seem to mind if Sharia Jihad Law replaced the U.S. Constitution.

The bottom line is that we have a bunch of adolescent-acting Democrat leaders fueled by emotionalism who want to impeach President Donald Trump for no good reason at all. Lack of objective facts do not seem to bother them or are needed in their obsession to gain political and spiritual domination over all the legal citizens of our country. Do we really want people like this leading our country?

IMMORALITY. The United States was founded upon citizen freedom, Judeo-Christian morals, and rule of law. Democrat party leaders are quick to shun traditional values, bent on decriminalizing crime, in their disdain of a moral America.

Donald Trump represents moral law and for this Democrats want to impeach him by inventing hoaxes like the Russian collusion Mueller report and now the Ukraine craziness over a 30-minute phone call warning about potential foul play.

Without a solid Judeo-Christian moral base from which to understand reality, Democrats are guided by their emotions and their lust for domination over the lives of those who dare to espouse morality.  This is precisely what Lucifer wanted but instead got kicked out of the heavenly realm and became Satan, the hateful adversary who apparently spends a lot of his time occupying the Democrat party.
