Biden’s Scare-the-Hell-Out-of-You Reelection Campaign
Joe Biden is facing an uphill reelection battle. He is desperate, and he should be. The world is an uglier and an uglier place under Biden.

With migrants now flooding our Southwestern border at a reported 10,000 seeking entry daily, it is essential that we take steps to crystalize a national immigration policy.

Joy Reid: Claudine Gay Was Ousted So White Dudes Can Run Harvard Again
No evening of post-Claudine Gay resignation hot takery would be complete without MSNBC’s Joy Reid weighing in. And weigh in she did- by claiming, without evidence, that Gay was “taken out” in order to make room for the guys “who used to have” the presidencies of elite universities in the 50s.
