Half or more of the nation is fearful about the direction in which the United States is headed.

We have high inflation, unprecedented illegal immigration, riots in our cities, an increase in crime throughout our nation, cancel culture, a biased and untruthful media, and an assassination attempt on a former president who is also a presidential candidate. DEI and wokeness are destroying our children and communities. Our “Democracy” is under assault, our “freedoms” are under assault. If America continues on its current path, it will cease to exist as we know it. 

 As the nation prepares for a crucial vote that many call a turning point, an informed electorate is crucial. Do not miss this opportunity to learn from Edwin Black, a NY Times bestselling and award-winning author known throughout the United States and Europe. Black is closely monitoring the issues here and throughout the Middle East that are changing on a daily and weekly basis, and he will answer questions on national fears and national affairs.   Edwin Black will speak from 7:25-8:25 PM
