75th Anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge Interview with Dr. Jerome Corsi
This week we observed the 75th anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge, the last major German offensive of WWII. In mid-December 1944 along a quiet section of the Western Front in Belgium, Hitler and his generals pushed three German armies well-equipped with seasoned troops through the Allied lines. These American forces were resting from their long push across France from Normandy. Not yet fully supplied and without winter clothing, they faced the full fury of the German Army. Dr. Jerome Corsi's book "No Greater Valor" helps tell their story. We also discuss the importance that faith played as we review the prayer of General Patton's Chaplain. Tune in and tell a friend.

Citizens in Medina Being Denied the Right to Vote

Citizens in Medina Being Denied the Right to Vote
Citizens in Medina circulated a referendum petition on Ordinance 112-19, an LGBTQ special rights ordinance. They were told by Board of Elections officials that they were 44 signatures short, but 59 of the signatures were invalidated wrongly for what the Board termed "non-matching signature." When the citizens committee presented to the Board of Elections 47 sworn affidavits from the registered voters who had their signatures wrongly invalidated, Board officials arrogantly said they were doing nothing on the matter. The Ohio Christian Alliance and the Concerned Citizens of Medina City have now appealed directly to Secretary of State Frank LaRose. It is a matter of the integrity of the vote in the State of Ohio; we either have it or we don't. The committee now waits to see what the Secretary of State will do.

SOGI Ordinances Challenge Religious Liberty. Communities Are Beginning to Fight Back.
For those who are wondering what the fallout will be with transgenders using women's restrooms, there is a report from the UK. School girls are being forced to share the toilets with boys. Now the girls just simply won’t go to the bathroom during school hours, and are having serious physical problems as a result. The Ohio Christian Alliance along with other family policy groups will continue to bring you important developments and news on this cultural battlefront. It is not the fight we wanted, but it has been thrust upon us. And for the future of our children’s’ sake, we must engage the culture with reason, truth and decency. Joining us to discuss these new challenges to communities are Attorney Josh Brown and Pastor Al Davis.

The Trades are in great demand in Ohio. Who will train this new workforce?
State Rep. Mark Romanchuk of Ohio's 2nd District discusses his proposed legislation of a trade apprenticeship program in high schools and career centers with the same style benefits that the college credit plus program has provided over the years. He argues that not every high school student needs to go to college and amass debt, but rather enter the workforce with skilled training in construction and in the area of skilled trades that provide good-paying jobs. Ohio has great demand currently for construction workers, electricians, plumbers, carpenters, welders, machinists, and heavy equipment operators. Ohio is currently facing a wave of retirements in these career fields, and industry is in desperate need of skilled workers. Rep. Romanchuk says his bill will encourage the trades beginning in high schools. It will be a partnership of business and local high schools working together to train tomorrow's workforce.
Part 2 - Bryan Williams, Director of Associated Builders and Contractors, compliments Rep. Romanchuk's effort and spells out the details with data and statistics of what is happening with Ohio's workforce and what is needed to turn it around, equipping Ohio's young people with the skills and trades for their future.
