I just watched Chuck Norris versus Communism. The title did not give me any idea of what this film is about. I only saw that it was a documentary when I happened to walk in while my husband was in the middle of it. It doesn’t star Chuck Norris. It stars Romania. This film intersperses […]

How to Know if You are Intelligent
By Laura Blodgett on June 2, 2016 in History Exposed, Homeschooling, Living With Liberty, Teaching My Children
