In Chapter 55, in anger, Moroni abandoned the idea of exchanging prisoners with Ammoron, deciding instead to go and rescue the captured Nephites. He came up with a plan that would require a Lamanite ally to succeed. But this could have been a problem, given the strict segregation between the Nephites and the few Lamanites that had joined them in their lands. Moroni “caused that a search should be made among his men, that perhaps he might find a man who was a descendant of Laman among them. And it came to pass that they found one.” (emphasis added)

Among all of Moroni’s forces, there was apparently only one solitary Lamanite, and it turned out to be one of the guards Amalickiah had framed for murder earlier. Anyway, Moroni was able to pull off his scheme, which was to send a Lamanite soldier to the city where the captives were held, bearing a shipment of extremely strong wine for the Lamanite guards. With the guards drunk and with many captured Nephites to help, Moroni’s forces were able to take the city without a fight.

Interestingly, the Lamanites later tried to use a similar trick against the Nephites – delivering poisoned wine to them – but the clever Nephites wouldn’t drink any untested wine until “they had first given to some of the Lamanite prisoners. And they were thus cautious that no poison should be administered among them; for if their wine would poison a Lamanite it would also poison a Nephite.”

So, there was a certain level of equality between them after all.

Last night, President Biden delivered a state of the union address filled with gaffs, stuttering, and mumbling, a speech that attempted to unify and give a message of hope.

This all falls on deaf ears however. In an time of skyrocketing inflation, crime, and illegal immigration; and possibility of war on the horizon, Biden's promises last night were merely lip service to the Right. In an unexpected turn, he called for securing the border and funding the police. This is merely a further example of the false divide among the two parties. Come
election season, politicians on both sides of the aisle will tell the voters what they want to hear, and completely reverse course after the election.

Addressing rising gas prices, Biden told the American People "we're going to be okay". How does he expect Americans to survive a massive increase in gas prices that will cripple the budgeting of so many already living paycheck to paycheck? While the President was drumming for war against Russia, the historic American Nation suffers. Our sons, and now even our daughters, are being sent to Eastern Europe for the possibility of another European brother war. Rural America suffers under crumbling infrastructure, inflation, and skyrocketing food and gas prices; all which will be worsened under the new sanctions announced tonight. To add further insult to injury to our people, Biden flaunted his new black woman nomination for the Supreme Court. It is clear we do not have proper representation, nor leadership; however, the American Freedom Party is working to rectify that. Join or donate today to help our cause! amfreeparty.org/join/

I'm neither a Russophile nor a Putin worshipper but let's be clear: A victory for Russia here is a loss for NATO and globalism. Let Putin have his way with Ukraine—but don't delude yourself into thinking he's the savior of the West or whatever.
