North America and Europe
According to a Pew Research Center estimation in 2020, about 2.38 billion of approximately 8.0 billion people in the world are at least nominally connected to Christianity. Christianity is the largest religion in the world and still growing. It is by no means confined to North America and Europe. According to the Pew Research Center (PRC) data for 2010, the U.S. had the largest absolute number of nominal Christians with 247 million, which constituted 79% of surveyed adults. However, a later PRC 2019 survey showed nominal Christianity in the US had dropped sharply to 65 percent. In 2010, Brazil was second with 176 million and 90 percent of surveyed adults. Mexico was third with 108 million and a nominal 95 percent Christian, and Russia fourth with 105 million (74%). Ranking number five was the Philippines (93%). Nigeria was sixth with 81 million, representing 51 percent of the population. China was seventh with 67 million, which is only 5.0 percent of the population. The Congo ranked eighth with 63 million (96%), Germany ninth with 58 million (71%), and Marxist governed South Africa 53 million (85%).

The America First Plan
Twenty Republican Points to Make America Great Again
On July 15, the Republican Party Convention, meeting in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, passed and published its 2024 Republican Platform. The Republican Platform of 2024 is not pep rally hubris. It remembers and exalts the history of America’s foundation and the struggle and sacrifices of generations of patriots in overcoming enormous difficulties, striving to become not only a great nation but a shining example of government guided by truth and dedicated to justice. However, it also warns us that forgetting our history and abandoning the truths and values that made us a great nation are severely undermining our future.

A Failing Grade on Truth
Most of the media and political commentary, especially since the June 27 Biden-Trump debate, has focused on President Biden’s mental competence. This is indeed extremely important. Moreover, there is a vast record of previous television and video material over the last several years that raises many serious questions about an apparent decline in Biden’s mental agility. It appears to many that he is suffering from some disease or injury that is causing a significant degeneration of capacities critical to any position in leadership, especially the American presidency.

Many EU and NATO Leaders Horrified that Putin Consulted
On July 5, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban traveled to Moscow and spoke with Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin on possible solutions to ending the Ukraine conflict. Two and a half years of war have devastated the Ukrainian economy, resulted in over 7.0 million refugees, and resulted in the combat deaths of more than 600,000 Ukrainian soldiers and as many as 50,000 Russian Federation soldiers. The Ukrainian Army is currently suffering 1,500 to 2,000 casualties—killed and seriously wounded—per day! Initially outnumbering Russian forces more than two to one, Ukrainian combat forces are outnumbered more than four to one, and the Russian advantage is growing. The Ukrainians are running out of men, munitions, and equipment.
Reality Begins to Sober Zelensky Peace Hopes

Huge Ukrainian Losses Changing Outlook
On June 15-16, Switzerland hosted a global Peace Summit for Ukraine. Russia was not invited and because of that many countries declined to attend. The absent list included China, India, and many other great powers. Volodymyr Zelensky’s strategy was evidently to get the world to condemn Russia and force a peace plan on Russia. Nevertheless, 86 of 193 United Nations member nations and four international organizations sent representatives. Seventy-eight nations and the four international organizations signed the final communication. Nine more states indicated their approval of the communication after the event. Those rejecting the invitation were particularly numerous in the “Global South,” where US influence in waning and public opinion is no longer favorable to the US and NATO narrative about the Ukraine War. Zelensky’s 10 point peace plan was more propaganda than a reasonable framework for negotiated peace. Zelensky undoubtedly also raised much needed additional funds to operate the Ukrainian government and relieve military weapons and munitions shortages.
