According to Republicans, one is heartfelt example of what’s wrong with our county with deeply touching messages and simple lessons that we can all learn from, and the other was written by a black woman.

Spent the morning beneath decks on the USS Constitution—Old Ironsides—where the ghosts of brave men were wondering how a papier-mâché “patriot” and lying drunk like Hegseth could ever be in a position to betray our nation’s ideals.

Well they`d better watch-out, cos we know what happened to Hitler - he ended up shooting himself in a filthy Berlin bunker.

Can’t help but notice that one of the books pulled is Heather McGee’s “the Sum of Us” which is a personal favorite of mine & is an economic analysis of the costs of racism & racist policies. It’s a well researched book presenting a mix of history and economics.
