CRT and Commie propaganda*Epoch Times:* *Critical Race Theory Serves to Usher in Communist Agenda in America, Says Philosophy Professor* The left has been engaged in semantic arguments to dodge the unpopularity of their CRT push.

One of the ways you can see the hypocrisy is that their sports teams never use DEI to select players. read more

Biden blamed Trump for Covid deaths now he has moreRed States: ... When President Donald Trump was in office, Joe Biden took every effort to blame all the COVID deaths on him. But now that Biden is in office and there have been more deaths under Biden than there were under Trump, even with vaccines and treatments, Biden and the media are strangely silent about those numbers. Biden is, of course, not taking any responsibility for those numbers.

Unlike some on the left, I thought Labour's performance in the aforementioned by-election (following the death of James Brokenshire) was a fairly decent performance.
