It’s not often a line from a superhero movie could save your life. But in this case, it’s true.
There is a problem at the Grand Canyon. In the last eight days, three people have fallen 400 feet to their deaths.
What was the problem? High winds? Treacherous footing?
Nope. They just fell from the viewing areas.
The clearest answer we had of any of them was one guy who had to get that perfect photo.

“Your daunting mission is to go against the grain, stand up to the radical feminists, and raise your little man into a lion, capable of leading the next generation into a moral culture of God, family, and country.”
