There's a reason millions have immigrated to the United States and only a miniscule fraction of Americans have emigrated. Let that sink in.

The United States is, in fact, now based on white supremacism, but it has nothing to do with 1776. Instead, it has everything to do with what was going on in the country in 1906.
The victors write the history, and we now live within the victors' deception, for now.

I made my appearance on Earth in a hospital in Queens, NYC, on a cloudy, breezy, late afternoon 63 years ago and approximately 6 months after my parents' marriage. My first memory followed a few years later with the sight and sound of a toilet flushing.
Life's been good to me.

A careful definition of words would destroy half the agenda of the political left and scrutinizing evidence would destroy the other half.
It's a couple of days late, but on D-Day, it's 'circles back' (🤮) to the beginning. I only realized today that the Allied assault on German-held France came almost three years exactly after the evacuation of Allied forces.
'We will never surrender!'

Imagine if food stamps went directly to Walmart regardless of your choice.
That would be great for Walmart
Not so much for families.
Yet that's exactly how we fund K-12 education.

Imagine if we were all assigned to government grocery stores based on address.
Your government grocery store only had food 26% of the time–and the food was usually rotten.
Imagine you had to move houses to choose another store.
You just imagined the government school system.

UPDATE: I just received one of the most meaningful messages. The 3 board members who pushed a policy to allow males in the girl’s bathroom just lost their reelection. They ran on this policy. They were replaced by 3 parental rights advocates.
Maybe they should’ve listened to their students!!!
POWERFUL! Students in @CCSDSchools begged the school board to reverse their bathroom policy which allows males to use the girl’s bathrooms/locker rooms.
"I no longer feel safe... I don't feel mature enough to see any man's p*nis.”
These young girls shouldn’t feel unsafe going to school! Extremely unfair to them. Kudos to them for standing up for themselves! We need more like them! 💪🏻
