Smollett Charges Inexplicably Dropped: I Guess America’s Not As Racist As They Thought

Perhaps the only way to clear up the assumptions of foul play is for Mr. Smollett’s team to come forward or for the Grand Jury’s decision for trial to stand. ... Contrary to the high profile stories demanding that we believe our nation is “slave days” bigoted, this story of equality in not being held accountable is refreshing.

But, that hasn’t been for decades. ... I ask you, do you think mass puppy abortions would be permitted in our society? Those cute little puppy fetus’ being scraped and surgically removed from their mother?

The Green New Deal Needs Too Much Green and Sacrifices Dignity

“there ain’t no such thing as a free lunch”. ... if the Green New Deal is offering everything for free, what price will we all have to pay to get it? ... There are two things at work here: the ability of the government to give away billions of dollars worth of free stuff indefinitely; and the effect that free stuff will have on our collective work ethic, sense of personal responsibility, pride, dignity, ingenuity, and freedoms.

Abortion Rights: Who Will Stand Up For The Least Among Us?
