ELECTION 2020


RACIAL CLASHES SCRAMBLE BIDEN'S RUNNING MATE CHOICES



The intense and careening 2020 news cycle is reshuffling the prospects of the
top contenders to become Joe Biden’s running mate so quickly that the shifting
headlines have become a blur. Just before Memorial Day weekend, Sen. Kamala

HOW MEDIA SENSATIONALISM, BIG TECH BIAS EXTENDED LOCKDOWNS



This is Part 2 in a series. Last week, Part 1 discussed How Fear, Groupthink
Drove Unnecessary Global Lockdowns.Epidemiologists created faulty lockdown
models. The media promoted fear. Politicians assumed worst-case scenarios, and
big tech suppressed dissenting views. This is how people’s fears grew

months.Did You Read More

“If I didn’t have a primary, I wouldn’t care” sounds like a great slogan for the
Democratic Party.

Black Lives Matter to President Trump | RealClearPolitics

the_dster69

Doesn't matter if black lives matter to Trump. He's not a democrat, and since
the democrat party owns the narrative, he's not allowed to care.Only democrats
can care about black people and, even when they dress up in black face or
otherwise insult black people, it's okay...because they are democrats and they
care.
