Schools more interested in sexual orientation than education proficiency

Why?

May 30, 2023 Op-Ed

May 16, 2023May 15, 2023 Op-Ed

Let’s see if we can break down the debt ceiling issue. So once upon a time, well, back in 1917, America bought the Virgin Islands for about $25 million in gold, Babe Ruth, at 22, was pitching for Boston, and the United States entered WWI. There were also some significant changes going on in D.C.

May 10, 2023May 9, 2023 Skip

Keep this in mind as this was definitively told to me: The District does not lie to parents. Yep, I took that person at their word, sorta (backstory later). But that is an official pronouncement. Like “Hunter hasn’t done anything wrong.” –
