https://thefederalist.com/2020/08/28/watch-democrat-state-rep-john-deberry-shames-rioters-what-kind-of-people-have-we-become/ DeBerry predicted possible consequences of his words saying, “I’m sure everything I say is going to be misconstrued and misquoted and used against me in November.

Raising a Child in a World Obsessed With Transgender Contagion
Politicians and policymakers on the left are taking this trend—which looks more like a disturbing contagion—seriously. Twenty states now have laws in place that make it illegal to question a person’s gender identity or steer them away from significant, life-altering hormones and surgeries. Conservatives and anyone else who cares about science, truth, and reality must rally against…
Reclaiming Our Culture from the Left
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2020/08/reclaiming_our_culture_from_the_left.html Recover a sense of our history, our values, our culture, and teach them to your children. Our young people will not defend what they do not value. Learn in Rating America’s Presidents why America is even worth defending. These are just a few general notes. There is much, much more that must be done. Yet none…
