Though “Let’s Go Brandon '' has been chorused everywhere from high school classrooms to national sports events, it wasn’t until this past week that the White House was asked about Joe Biden’s response to it.

I was having a conversation at work a few weeks back and my friend was trying to convince me that Jesus would be a socialist because of how the early church shared all of their stuff.
