Dan has public opinions about what are the worst features of contemporary Christianity, which I imagine have not endeared him to the anti-woke warriors of recent ascendancy.

Kristi Noem fired, replaced by a plumber lol
Trump says he will replace DHS Secretary Kristi Noem with Sen. Markwayne Mullin
