I have been wondering for a few months now if there was going to be some kind of Southern Baptist backlash against Russell Moore, and it looks like it may now be happening. For example, The Wall Street Journal has a story on it here, and NPR here. And in the aftermath of the election, …
Founders with the Fantods
So yesterday the Electoral College met and formally elected Donald Trump as our next president. The Left had been applying significant pressure to get electors to flip, and to vote for candidates other than what the popular vote of their state had determined for them.
