Good for him; I hope many good things come out of this for him, but more than anything, I pray he would come to know the Lord Jesus Christ through the only way—repentance of sin and faith in Him as Redeemer and Savior—and rejoice to live in the light of it!

Sadly, too few natural born citizens revere what they were born into. Thank you young man. Oh, and keep on lebrawn’s case.

For those that have never been to a naturalization ceremony, it is one of the most amazing events to experience.

Who cares about a antiquated word like freedom.

Poor, misguided guy. He thinks he’s living in a free country now, but he’s not.
Just try to criticize anything the Left believes in: global warming, gender change, critical race theory - it really doesn’t matter what. You’ll be cancelled into oblivion.
