What happened at the US Capital on January 6 was planned. By whom? We don’t know, but it is clearly another step in a grand agenda that was rolled out at the beginning of 2020.

George Orwell describes reality today in his novel 1984: To tell deliberate lies while genuinely believing in them, to forget any fact that has become inconvenient, and then, when it becomes necessary again, to draw it back from oblivion for just so long as it is needed, to deny the existence of objective reality and … Continue reading Truthful Liars
The Democrats & School Choice
Question for those voting for Biden/Harris: Do you support school choice? If you do, why does the Democrat party not, and how can you vote for a party that refuses to address a key question in the discussion on racial inequality?
