Much more than half. Every generation younger than the boomers are leaning more and more left.

Probably because of stupid **** like this.

Nice, the "nuh uh, you" defense. Great way to avoid the question.

Can you please point out where I said the BLM riots were mostly peaceful? I'll wait.

This is a great and un-fulfilled need on the Internet for a [sarcasm] tag.

I have to admit I don't understand the purpose, or the timing, of making Juneteenth a national holiday.

The white guy in charge basically just stated that slavery in the US ended on 19 June 1865, and to celebrate, he's giving government employees, the majority of whom are white and did not lose a single penny in pay or benefits during the lockdowns, another paid day off.

Numerically, yes. But the Public sector is the largest employer of black Americans.

Highest level Chinese defector (ever) says Wuhan Flu was a product of the Chinese military. Terabytes of data came with his defection.

Does the MSM care? Doh! Answered my own question:

Big, if true.

I'd like to see some better sources than rumors by Townhall, Redstate and The Daily Beast.

Considering that the other media outlets and the big tech companies have been actively suppressing that idea doubt you'll see anything from them till they can't lie anymore.

I'm assuming he is referring to the lack of persecution of those crimes by district attorneys. But than it wouldn'tbe a twitter slam dunk for my team.

It's always the same people who need to be spoon-fed information....and invariably if it doesn't match their world-view, it gets rejected anyway.

An all but inevitable occurrence in the Portland Police force. Apparently, the entire Rapid Response Team has resigned en masse:

Gee, I wonder what message those anarchist protestors will take away from that.
