The Democrat party is desperate to use the coronavirus to bring back its Jim Crow laws, and there’s no question this discrimination will disproportionately persecute racial minorities. SNIP to; But here’s the thing… If Democrats are going to use the China Flu to return to their Jim Crow roots, once again, it will be racial minorities who face the brunt of this political prosecution.

There’s no scarcity of New York Times bestselling authors reminding us to...

[Snip] Included in the American Families Plan's $9 billion to address the teacher shortage is money to train, equip and diversify the nation’s teachers.

Nearly a third of the $9 billion would go toward creating and expanding “Grow Your Own” programs,...

Two Major League Baseball teams, the New York Yankees and New York Mets, are getting prepared to, kind of, bring their games back to normal. But the price of bringing the games back to somewhat normal is precisely what many people were frightened of to begin with, CBS New York reported. Their stadiums, Yankee Stadium and Citi Field respectively, will have separate seating for vaccinated and non-vaccinated people. In the vaccinated section, fans will not have to socially distance but will still, ridiculously, have to wear masks even after the Centers For Disease Control said masks were not needed outside.
