Crossfit For Your Soul

Wow-where do I begin! The news media are shouting such conflicting information; famous individuals continue to blatantly lie from "I did not have sex with that woman", to "I was beaten up by two white guys wearing MAGA hats"; Russia is threatening to bomb us if we station offensive weapons close by; the Pope is having meetings with the church's leadership about priests sexual sins and many of our young people are open to Socialism instead of Capitalism and the free market.   What planet did I wake up on (excuse the lazy grammar)?
