So let me guess what the new official language would be? Farsi, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese?

It would be like California where every document gets printed in a zillion languages and interpreters for any of dozens of obscure languages are available free on demand. It's really nutty but it is California after all.

The state should remove their city charter and all road signs with that name removed. It should be treated as county property, like farm land.

You mean there is somewhere in this country where English is the official language? Who knew? Should be nationwide. The one and only government language.

We're in the majority. The people who love this country and want it to be all it was created to be have the numbers unlike the wokesters who don't have the numbers, but still have the microphones. People, though, are tired of their divisive messaging and aren't listening. They've turned them off.

To @#2: SURPRISINGLY, English IS the official language of California. "English is the official language of the State of California. ...

Spend a week in Montreal, or a few hours reading about the Province of Quebec and their approach to language. Years ago, Canada shrugged their shoulders on the issue of language in the province, and it's obvious today that they made a huge mistake. One country, one language. We welcome you with open arms, but you must assimilate. Pretty simple.

This struck me funny because many people think that we Pennsylvanians do not speak English. That can also be said for New Yorkers, New Englanders and those good folks south of the Mason Dixon line. That's what makes us America but if we have to choose a language, let it be English. Do younz guys agree?

There needs to be something done about the language in Boston, Massachusetts you almost need subtitles to understand them. Ben Affleck pulls it off well. I understand Swamp People in Louisiana better than a Bostonian accent. All kidding aside we live in a 50/50 split populated area in the southwest the other predominate language is Spanish. We seem to get along just fine most signs are double language mostly in medical facilities not on street signs, yet. Happy language day and what is the language the fraud president speaks, man from out of space maybe. Let's go Brandon.

The nation argued for five years over the infamous Steele dossier, the document on which the FBI relied to investigate Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign. It should have been called the Clinton dossier. Special counsel John Durham this week obtained an indictment of Igor Danchenko, a Russian who provided information for the dossier. Danchenko is charged with lying to the FBI, but the bigger story of the indictment is Democrats’ central role in every aspect of the dossier and the FBI investigation.Never forget the original claim. According to the FBI, Democrats and the media, Trump harbored secret and nefarious ties with Russia. We knew that because —

They’re doubling down on this fake narrative. It was totally predictable but it’s still amusing. Again, the liberal media being beclowning themselves when they lose elections, they think they’re entitled to win will never be boring—ever. The best part is you see them act as if they’re yards smarter than anyone else. CNN’s Don Lemon is like that when in fact he’s one of the biggest morons on the network. The GOP won, therefore, its white supremacy. It’s like clockwork—but someone decided to comb through precincts in Virginia, where Republicans had an especially good night, and jammed that fake white nationalist narrative through the woodchipper.

Those allegations were compiled in the so-called Steele dossier, which the FBI relied on in obtaining surveillance warrants from a secret federal court.The dossier was generated by the Clinton campaign.
