Christmas In North America

Merry Christmas from Reality Is Truth! The Origins of Christmas When looking at the origins of Christmas one must first look at Christianity. Most people realize that Christmas is actually the celebration of the birth of Jesus of Nazareth. However, they may not realize that Christians believe he is the Son of God. God is the central figure in the Torah, which is the first 5 books of the Hebrew Bible. The Torah teaches that God is the one and only true god and chronicles his creation of all things and his relationship with the Hebrews.  Christianity grew out of Judaism and recognized the Torah along with several other writings that are collectively known as the Old Testament . Christianity was inspired by the prophecies of the Old Testament and thus is actually a Jewish sect.  Through those prophecies, and their personal witness they recognized Jesus as the promised Jewish Messiah.  The New Testament , a Christian scripture, chronicles the birth, life, and crucifixion of Jesus Christ t

Who is Ron DeSantis?

At the outset, it must be said that we, here at Reality Is Truth , will wholeheartedly support whomever the Republican nominee is, as long as they are chosen from the current crop of candidates. With Donald J. Trump currently 52 points ahead of all the other Republican candidates, we fully understand that the debate over who will be the Republican nominee is more or less moot.

Why in the world is our government unwilling to actually secure our borders?

Border Security Border security is possibly the most important debate in our lifetime and has been playing itself out over the last 20 years. The question of how we, as a nation, can secure our borders and at the same time address tens of millions of illegal entrants is a question that seems to mystify our representatives in Washington, DC. Secure Fence Act (2006) Most of the polls indicate that as many as 80% of Americans do not support open borders. While under Joe Biden, the Democrats continue to say that our "borders are secure," insinuating that no real action needs to be taken. Republicans, on the other hand, give a lot of lip service to a border crisis but never really do anything about it. The biggest example of this was the Secure Fence Act of 2006 (SFA), which was passed by both houses of Congress and then signed by President George W. Bush. It was touted as a bipartisan solution for what even then was an open-border immigration crisis. In fact, this was the very la
