This should not be difficult to understand, especially for a young man or woman who was supposedly smart enough to be accepted into an institute of higher education, AKA, an American college. The attached video features Florida's governor explaining this in very simple terms....

This video is more or less a public courtesy video to remind the public that sick, twisted people (many of whom are in powerful roles in governments) want you to stop eating meat and start eating...not meat! They detest the idea of a traditional beef hamburger. Instead, they want you to eat lab-grown material or ground-up insects. Gross! Keep this in mind whenever you vote: are you supporting politicians who hate farming and agriculture as we know it?...

Likely aided by what was a generally mild winter for Minnesota's standards, service organizations across the Bonanza Valley area and the Belgrade-Brooten-Elrosa school district enjoyed remarkable support across the past few months for fundraising events.

In at least the past six years, the highest total for their three fish fry nights in a season was around 500 (in the 2022 L...
We've seen it over and over again at the college level. I haven't seen reports of this type of conversation taking place at the high school level, but I believe it's only a matter of time before it does. The basic conversation goes like this. A group of female athletes are on a college swimming team. The next season comes around, and a male athlete who identifies as a woman says he/she wants to join the team. The woke, stupid college promptly complies with the request. The females on the team...
National Public Radio, which has long had a penchant for providing left-slanting news in America, has taken bias to a shocking level with the introduction of new CEO, Katherine Maher. Maher is shown on record stating that the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution is a threat to "news" organizations like NPR. You could not make it up. Maher, who acknowledged that the First Amendment is good for "news platforms" said in the same breath that the problem of the First Amendment stems from any and...

For the third straight month, American citizens have been hit by rising inflation, according to government statistics. Not only do government statistics suggest this, real world experience - life outside of academia and government - paints the same picture. Overall, the U.S. Department of Labor said that the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 3.5 percent in March 2024 compared to one year ago. Fueling this surge is higher costs for rent, car insurance, clothes, medical care and gasoline. Adding to...
