What they’re saying
“I love Yelena Popovic's "Man of God" and have been excited to see "Moses the Black" since it first came to my attention as her next project (NCR, Feb. 14, 2026). This is the only review of the film I've read. Glad it's a positive one!”
— Jeffrey Jones (NCR)
“I agree, as do the majority of Americans, that Trump is on a rampage to destroy America as we have known it (NCR, Feb. 13, 2026). Fr. Thomas Reese has given us an excellent summary of all that has thus far been destroyed.”
— Concordia, Kansas (NCR)
“To say Donald Trump is "destroying America" is to mistake the fever for the disease and to comfort ourselves with the illusion that our decay began with him (NCR, Feb. 13, 2026).”
— Concordia, Kansas (NCR)
