LEANING RIGHT When Newsweek allows an op-ed about the Media calling Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot a Racist because she will not allow white journalists and reporters any interviews, while the media ignores that terrible truth, we ve got a Racism problem in America.
When Hawaii Democratic Representative Tulsi Gabbard and local WMAQ-TV reporter are emblematic of those condemning Mayor Lightfoot s horribly racist proclamation, and that doesn t make national news, we ve got a Racism problem in America.
When the Chicago Fraternal Order of Police issues a vote of no-confidence in Mayor Lightfoot, citing work conditions and the cancellation of a march for fallen officers (so many of whom are black and Latino), and while Chicago homicides are at record levels (so many of whom are also black and Latino), and it s being ignored, we ve got a Racism problem in America.
LEANING RIGHT It s hard to think of a better reason growing Mideast war and violence to miss the policies of the past Administration (whether you hated or loved or just tolerated the last commander-in-chief) than what s gone on in just four months after President Joe Biden took office.
As with President Barack Obama, the idea of reaching out to Iran and terrorist organizations like Hamas and Hezbollah has proven a ridiculous, outrageous, and downright DANGEROUS policy that is getting people killed as much under President Joe Biden as with President Obama. Iran and Hamas just CANNOT be trusted and giving them money is as ridiculous now as it was before.

Those who attacked Vietnam veterans for many years, didn t they? And they re doing it again today, as much as they probably would swallow a bag of rusty nails before they had the moral courage to admit it.
Makes good politics, and makes good money, doesn t it?
But when the legitimate fury of all Americans at the cold, cruel manner of Derek Chauvin s resting of his knee on the neck of a black criminal who was DOWN play out, the questions of whether or not George Floyd is someone we want to promote as an emblematic American black male, and the big money associated with his death, getting entirely ignored?
Shortcomings Aside, Vaccinations Are the Best Way to Resuming Our Lives Details
THE DOCTOR IS IN Vaccines aren t perfect, and the requirement of getting vaccinated does not exist in a free society.
That said, it is and will always be the right for private entities such as airlines, cruise ships and even supermarkets to deny entrance to those who in the months and years to come access if one is not vaccinated.
Furthermore, the concept of vaccine passports , as much as they are rather repugnant in a free society, makes some sense as much as it does to the requirement of paying taxes.and it similarly makes sense to require ID to vote in all future elections (we are doing it at the Neighborhood Council level, so why not throughout the nation?).
