...ale incarceration escalated in America during the Clinton era. It was well-intentioned, designed to deal the drug crisis. But, with the highest percentage of incarcerations in the world, and 25 times (2500% of) the gun violence per capita in America than in other developed country, we have created a crime manufacturing industry.

A 50 Year Retrospective

...hey skillfully performed a reenactment of John’s informing his Aunt of his intention to join the Revolutionary Army, for the promise of $20 and land.

Cancel Culture Goes After Dr. Seuss; Who Will Be Next?

...slavery because he calls his friend Jim the “N” word without the slightest intent to insult or impugn. Have we gone culturally insane? Is there nothing called “context”? The left will sanitize and suppress free speech in the name of “decency” when only one group is deciding what is decent. The radical right does the same thing.
