Polling has told us a generic Democrat would beat Colorado's doomed Republican Trump enabler, Cory Gardner. Polling also tells us that Frackenlooper would beat Gardner-- or at least that he would have before he got busted and fined for taking bribes.

From the worship of “progress” (an unclear notion), to the assumption experts and officials tell us the truth. the “normal” world is dominated by lies that are ancient, as well as new versions of ancient lies. You may take issue with my numbering – if so, let me know in the comments! Be sure to like and subscribe and share!
FrDcn Ananias Sorem joins me to discuss the hot topics of late: Thomism, the Thomistic apologetic and the five ways, causality and teleology, epistemology and metaphysical categories, absolute divine simplicity and the uncreated energies and how apophatic theology influences and is related to our apologetic approach as well as their being no neutrality. Father Deacon Ananias has a PhD in philosophy. His channel is here. Live tonight at 7PM EST

As you can imagine, I have a unique take on this much-touted exchange that almost no one else has.
Joe the Boomer invited be back to debate the learned pagan Tweetophon, who is a lawyer with proclivities for Aristotle and paganism. His position is, ironically, similar to Thomism and I am sure we will touch on all this. Enjoy!
