  • This is not the truth you’re looking for.

    If you’re looking for balanced, unbiased, facts-based news, go somewhere else. If you want to have your leftist ideology affirmed, don’t go any further.

  • Florida

    Rachel, you need to have your staff look at the laws being proposed and most likely passed in Florida. Race to the bottom. Might as well be tear up the constitution. Public schools being closed as fast as they can and education turned over to the private sector with virtually no oversight. Public protest turned into a crime. Law suits if you get an injection and you “think” it made you feel bad.
