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.
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.

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.

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.
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:
