Today we're recapping the speaker of the House ordeal, in which Republican Kevin McCarthy faced 15 rounds of votes before he was finally elected. We discuss why some Republicans pushed back against McCarthy and what (very good) concessions he agreed to in order to get the votes he needed for the election. We look at Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries' speech in which he misuses Scripture to argue that Democrats are doing "good." We beg to differ. Then, we'll use our vast knowledge of fashion to break down a few fashion looks from the Golden Globes. We discuss Jackie Hill Perry's recent decision to speak out against the Enneagram, calling it demonic. We explain the Enneagram's New Age origin and why it's just a distraction from our identity in Christ. Finally, we look at a Reddit post from someone who identifies as a trans woman claiming that he despises women because they're ... women. We explain why this has become more and more common and why this needs to wake people up.
