We do not participate in elections or endorse or oppose candidates in any way and we are very grateful to be producing with the nyu center that advocates for civil debate on politics and public policy, and nyu votes, which works to give every nyu eligible student the information they need to vote.

Recent bombshell exposes about the corruption of joe and hunter biden have been censored by social media giants in silicon valley, building if you will a silicon wall between americans and the knowledge of what their government and their politicians are really doing. Radical dems in Congress Like senators Chuck Schumer and ron wyden said the fbi should refrain from opening any investigation into the bidens because it could quote, damage the democratic president ial candidate and undermine the rule of law. My goodness. The newsrooms of the corporate leftwing National Media have become outposts for the radical dems and the left.
