Aaron has a post labeled “Teaching White Supremacy: Part 1” that brings up what one Donald Yacavone has done in furthering the splintering of America’s motto of “E Pluribus Unum” (out of many, one) by inflaming race relations: “Yacavone lays out the arc of America’s white supremacy from the country’s inception and Revolutionary War years … Read more

Maggie Hassan Fighting For … Winter Blackouts, Empty Diesel, Sky High Fertilizer, and a Federal “Cop” in Every School
Every time I see a Maggie Hassan commercial, my stomach turns. I have researched each and every one. Some are lies. Some are damned lies.
