Is It Any Surprise He Can't Articulate His Positions? They're Not Really His
We've all seen them, clips that go viral. Joe Biden trying to describe.... well, something. No one is entirely sure what. It seems he gets too far behind teleprompter, his already-rickety train of thought derailed, or his mouth out-runs it's supply line and he just gives up. Now, if this was the first or second time we’d seen this happen to creepy Joe, we’d probably all ignore it. But this is a constant problem. He simply can’t articulate any of his own positions.

WHEN INVESTIGATORS FINALLY GET TRUMP'S FINANCIAL INFORMATION, WILL WE EVEN CARE?
Georgetown law professor Josh Chafetz is right: The first reports on Thursday’s Supreme Court decisions dealing with the subpoenas for President Trump’s financial records sounded like bad news for the president in his effort to keep them hidden. But don’t be fooled. ... Mr. Trump won, because we almost certainly won’t get to see his financial records anytime soon. The decision in the case arising out of the New York State grand jury investigation held that he does not have absolute immunity, but the Supreme Court sent the case back to the lower courts to consider challenges to the s... more »

Hydroxychloroquine and Fake News
We have been systematically misled about Covid-19 and the cures, clearly and undeniably to instill fear, confusion, and to destroy the economy, all in a desperate and corrupt effort to prevent President Trump from winning re-election. Very early on, Dr. Vladimir Zelenko discovered that Hydroxychloroquine, plus zinc-sulfate, plus Azithromycin (“HCQ trio”) proved nearly 100% efficacy, in only 3-5 days. Because president Trump said it “might be a game-changer”, the left jumped on the medication, pooh-poohing it, “research labs” tested hydroxychloroquine alone, without the necessary zin... more »
KIPP Drops the Motto But Keeps the Brutality

Hampton's chief purpose, after all, was to inculcate in freed slaves and Western Indians a deep and abiding respect for hard work, above all else. Secondarily, the purpose was to... more »
