To those who stand with Ukraine: Under age 18 Americans are a majority non-white. Do you think they care one bit for another white European border dispute? They don't think Europe is worth fighting for. Check your privilege.

Man, you Democrats haven't been this mad since the Republicans banned slavery.

President's Biden's bipartisan border bill was to hire 1000 more border guards and add about 500 immigration judges. That is, double down on a dysfunctional system. Trump shut the border down in two weeks. How un-American.

Oh my God. Grok3 follows the narrative closely. We live in a sea of lies.

If you want to find out about the troubled history of the Ivanpah concentrated solar plant, NPR will not be very useful. Neither is the NY Times. Reflect on how many things those media outlets do not talk about.

Explore this gift article from The New York Times. You can read it for free without a subscription. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/01/u... So, despite the Trump bashing, Trump was correct by saying this isn't complicated. The helicopter was too high.

Let's have a conversation about belief. Name some beliefs that many hold but which have little objective evidence to support them. Here's one. More spending = better education. NY State now spends 36,000 per student in public schools with worsening objective educational outcomes.
