A very curious thing happened in the traditionally liberal city of Austin, Texas in early May. Yet another election disappointed Democrat progressives when 57% of its residents voted in favor of policing, and for reinstating criminal penalties for the homeless who were camping in public spaces. So what’s going on in Austin? And does it have anything to do with the rest of America?

The truth is, “anti-racist” leaders and practitioners aren’t interested in anything as small as improving education for Black & Brown Children – or in teaching students not to be racists. Anti-racists want to end grading as conventionally understood, and its rising hostility is nothing more than an assault on the soul of our nation's education system – and America itself.

Throughout Democrat Jimmy Carter's presidency back in the late 1970s, America careened from one crisis to another – and it's happening again.

A group of farmers from Minnesota, Ohio, South Dakota & Wisconsin are suing the Biden Administration's Secretary of Agriculture because they can’t participate in a COVID-19 Loan Forgiveness Program based upon the color of their skin.

“This is a stunning setback, and unequivocal proof that President Biden is sabotaging our jobs recovery. Democrats are paying 4 in 10 jobless more to stay home than to return to work.

Not all gamblers are the same, and not all kinds of gambling bring the same types of cost – when the business or pleasure gets out of control, gambling becomes a real medical condition. “Recreational” or “social” gamblers may be able to buy the occasional lottery ticket, take the rare casino trip, or bet small stakes in fantasy sports. But, they also are mentally able to quit.

“If someone’s going to tell you: ‘Oh, you’re brown, you have to be Democrat.’ Or, ‘Oh, you’re female, you have to be Democrat’ – who are they to tell me who I should vote for, or who I shouldn’t?” said Adrienne Pena-Garza, the GOP Chairwoman in South Texas' Hidalgo County. “You can’t shame me, or bully me into voting for a party just because that’s the way it’s always been."

The Texas Constitution bans gambling, so legalizing casinos or sports betting would require amending the State Constitution.
