The San Francisco Board of Education voted to rename 44 of the city’s schools, claiming that prominent figures from American history, such as George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Paul Revere, were tied to racist incidents. The committee based their decisions on Wikipedia and other wildly inaccurate information to source its claims.
Committee chairman Jeremiah Jeffries, along with his fellow committee members, used Wikipedia to support their claims that prominent U.S. historical figures had ties to racist incidents, and therefore warranted the renaming of scores of San Francisco schools, according to a report by Mission Local.

Democrat senators are trying to recruit Republican senators into business-backed amnesty deals, despite the public’s demand for pro-American migration policies.
Their targets include Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Susan Collins (R-ME), Thom Tillis (R-NC), and Rick Scott (R-FL).
The Hill reported Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL), the leading Democrat advocate for greater migration, working with Graham to draft a bill that would provide citizenship and work approval to younger migrants who were brought into the United States by their illegal-migrant parents.
If we can reach an agreement soon, very soon, we will have the base bill reintroduced and then that will be our starting point

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott directed state agencies to “identify” ways to combat “federal overreach” by President Joe Biden’s administration in the energy sector on Thursday.Abbott issued a state executive order specifically targeting the White House’s approach to energy development and production, which Abbott said showed “extreme hostility toward the energy sector, and thus toward Texas.”Abbott’s order directs “every state agency to use all lawful powers and tools to challenge any federal action that threatens the continued strength, vitality and independence of the energy industry. Each state agency should work to identify potential litigation, notice-and-comment opportunities, and any other means of preventing federal overreach within the law.”

Border Patrol agents in the Del Rio Sector apprehended a large group of suspected Haitian migrants who illegally crossed the border from Mexico into Texas.
Although apprehensions on the border garner little attention, the size of such groups and their country of origin does tell a story.
An anonymous source reported the illegal entry and apprehension of a single group of over 90 illegal aliens. Many in the group are suspected of being nationals of Haiti. According to the source, Mexican immigration officials alerted U.S. authorities along the border concerning the potential arrival of the migrants who were traveling through Mexico on charter busses.

Making D.C. a state, automatic voter registration,” and vowed Democrats will get “big, bold change” “no matter what.” He also commented on the possibility of abolishing the filibuster by stating, “failure is not an option. We must create change.”Schumer said, “Well, Rev., we have one goal: big, bold change in America. We would like the Republicans to join us in some of those things at least, and maybe they will.

Dianne Feinstein will be removed from 44 San Francisco public schools, a move that stirred debate Wednesday on whether the famously liberal city has taken the national reckoning on America’s racist past too far.The decision by the San Francisco Board of Education in a 6-1 vote Tuesday night affects one-third of the city’s schools and came nearly three years after the board started considering the idea. The approved resolution calls for removing names that honored historical figures with direct or broad ties to slavery, oppression, racism or the “subjugation” of human beings

Romney has been the leader of the establishment GOP anti-Trump lynch mob on Capitol Hill and came out early in favor of the unprecedented second impeachment of former President Trump. The man who gagged away a winnable election to Barack Obama in 2012 is now viewed with overwhelming approval by Democrats in his home state. According to a poll by the Salt Lake City-based Deseret News, Romney has double the support from Beehive State Dems than of Republicans,

The Democrats’ post-Trump hyperbole, panic and authoritarianism proves that what truly frightens them is America’s growing populism, not former President Donald Trump’s alleged “fascism,” according to Fox News host Tucker Carlson.In a lengthy monologue Friday on Fox News’ “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” the host wondered why Democrats are continuing to behave erratically — sometimes even more-so than before — despite their “fascistic” bogeyman finally being ousted from office.“The single biggest mystery …. is why Democrats became so vicious after they won. Joe Biden got the White House, his party took Congress, you’d think they would be thrilled, you’d think they will be celebrating, but no,” his monologue began.

The constitutional court of Poland, a deeply Catholic country, issued on Wednesday a justification of a controversial October ruling that bans abortions in cases of fetuses with congenital defects, even ones so severe that there is no chance of survival upon birth. The government then published the court’s ruling in a government journal of laws. Those steps were the formal prerequisites required for the new law to enter into force.

The French president added that "everything suggests that it is almost ineffective for those over 65, and some say over 60."
For the record--How the Oxford-AstraZeneca Vaccine Works:
The Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine is based on the virus’ genetic instructions for building the spike protein. But unlike the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines, which store the instructions in single-stranded RNA, the Oxford vaccine uses double-stranded DNA.This simply calls to mind the warnings of non-compromised experts that vaccines aren't easy--which is why there's never been a coronavirus vaccine before.

His lucrative role with oligarch-linked Ukrainian energy company Burisma Holdings, for instance, was central to former President Donald Trump's first impeachment.And during the transition, it was revealed Hunter was under a federal tax investigation dating back to 2018 into his foreign associations and accusations of money laundering.

If there is one thing that 2020 has taught me, it is that the real political and cultural divide in our country is not between Republicans and Democrats, or even conservatives and liberals, but between traditionalists and progressives.
At the core of progressivism is not the optimistic American belief that things are improving and that our children can live better lives than we did, but the belief that man is a perfectible product of evolutionary forces. Rather than being made in God’s image and then fallen, progressives believe we must throw off the shackles and prejudices of the past in order to move forward to build utopia.

President Joe Biden contends there is “nothing we can do to change the trajectory of the pandemic in the next several months,” which is the exact opposite of what presidential candidate Joe Biden promised voters during the 2020 campaign.
And by “exact opposite,” I mean the president’s alleged plan to beat the coronavirus literally said that “the trajectory of COVID-19 in America is headed in the wrong direction” and only he could fix it.
The Biden “plan” amounted to a slew of nebulous promises that would be implemented to correct the “Trump fiasco,” such as accelerating the development of a vaccine, producing more masks, and pressuring governors to sign mask mandates.

Vice President Kamala Harris promoted the Biden administration’s "critical" coronavirus "American Rescue Plan" this week in a pair of interviews with local TV stations in West Virginia and Arizona.

Messianic Rabbi Jonathan Cahn, author of the bestselling prophetic books The Harbinger series including last year's The Harbinger II: The Return, says America is standing at its most critical moment, and he's calling out President Biden in the process.(Snip)Cahn begins by citing George Washington's prophetic warning to America that he gave during the very first presidential address to the nation.
