That’s all we seem to hear about from Progressives that they want and desire a more “inclusive” society.

In a post over at The American Thinker labeled The Free Lunch Slide into Socialism, we see the Great Lie of proto-Socialism once again: New York City’s Schools Chancellor Carmen Farina recently announced the new “Free School Lunch for All” for the big Apple’s public schools.

Remember Those ‘Climate Mayors’ Who Swore to Uphold the Paris Agreement?

Earlier this year a group of mayors clung together in the name of the Paris Climate Accord. They insisted, wrongly, that the “treaty” was necessary and they intended to take action locally to support its goals. Some 379 municipal leaders signed on to Climate Mayors.org, which was all most of them ever intended. As a group, they …
