  • So who is sockpuppeting Fetterman?

    Apparently the Senator from PA, who is in the hospital for depression (some folks are calling for proof of life after his wife took the kids ziplining in Canada), is busy co-sponsoring legislation while out on medical leave.   He’s also signing letters while undergoing treatment. So let’s face it.  His staff or someone is doing… Continue reading

  • A sad commentary–American students can't read English

    And this is from a Harvard dean.   Their students can’t parse through ‘The Scarlet Letter’.  Because they are so focused on ethnic representation.  This is a failure of the K-12 system.
