Democrats have emphasized the necessity to teach all of history in our country's schoolrooms. It's the product of left-wing propaganda to justify the existence of toxic ideologies such as critical race theory or much of the historical fiction associated with things such as the 1619 Project. However, I agree with their claims — not so much their curricula. We should be teaching all of history in our schools, and one event that should be taught is what happened in New Orleans on March 14, 1891.
It is depressing to see news that a police officer was shot and suspect that the shooter was a career criminal. It is even more depressing when that suspicion is once again proven correct.
Climate change alarmist Greta Thunberg has made a living by scaring millions of children into believing the world will end because of climate change. But now, it appears even she might be skeptical of the alarmist rhetoric.
RON DESANTIS, IN THE MAINSTREAM ON UKRAINE. Recently, Fox News's Tucker Carlson asked all the Republican presidential candidates and possible candidates to answer a series of questions on U.S. policy concerning the war in Ukraine. There were six: 1) Is opposing Russia in Ukraine a vital American national strategic interest? 2) What specifically is our objective in Ukraine, and how will we know when we've achieved it? 3) What is the limit of funding and materiel you would be willing to send to the government of Ukraine? 4) Should the United States support regime change in Russia? 5) Given that Russia's economy and currency are stronger than before the war, do you believe that U.S. sanctions have been effective? And 6) Do you believe the United States faces the risk of nuclear war with Russia?
The video Tucker Carlson released last week of Jake Angeli, also known as Jacob Chansley or the "QAnon Shaman," caused quite a controversy last week. It revealed an entirely different series of events than what the Jan. 6 Committee shared with the public. Many think the committee purposely hid this footage. And, from a legal standpoint, there could be ramifications if accusations are true that the committee didn't provide the lawyers of those arrested with all the available video for trial preparation. But we must also understand that Carlson's video doesn't exonerate the rioters who broke the law.
Actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus tweeted seemingly out of nowhere last week about the Wisconsin State Supreme Court race coming up next month. In her breezy post, she listed fair maps, abortion rights, and control of Congress as the key reasons to get involved. For added measure, she embedded a cheerful video of herself in the tweet encouraging people to get involved, with the promise that she would “lift them up” on social media if they did so:
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) has not yet announced an intention to run for president in 2024, but among registered Republicans voters he is already leading former President Donald Trump 39% to 37%, according to CNN’s latest national poll.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has expanded the number of political parties affiliated with his "People’s Alliance" to include a far-right Islamist party: Huda Par, a religiously conservative Kurdish political party. Huda Par is an extremist entity linked to Turkish Hezbollah. While not affiliated with the Lebanese equivalent, Turkish Hezbollah retains links to Iran. It is widely perceived to be a sponsor of terrorism, and its leaders are on record for stating their belief that "Hezbollah is not a terrorist organization."
