I’ve been looking at this map of wealth distribution across the United States wherein dark blue stands for high average wealth and reddish brown for low wealth.
To this old geographer’s eyes, a couple of things stand out.
The first – and most obvious – thing that stands out is
The completely unbroken stretch of wealthy census tracts from Washington, D.C. to Boston doesn't come close to existing anywhere else in the country.

There's no doubt in my mind that a large percentage of the US Defense establishment - both civilian and military - perhaps as much as 10% is owned or controlled by foreign governments, particularly the Chinese.
When I first started reporting at the Pentagon for the Washington Times years ago - it was discovered that the Chinese military had penetrated the U.S. military computers / the Pentagon layers deep. In fact, later it was discovered that the person who did it was a senior Chinese

What amazes me constantly is how much Trump knows.

Reparations are not basically about money.
It's mostly a form of racial warfare.
Reparations are what defeated nations pay to the victors.
It's a form of criminal extortion.
If the Dems worked 1/10th as much helping Black Americans as they do illegal aliens, they'd have no need to make false promise of reparations in exchange for votes.
If the Dems were willing to do half as much as Mexico to prevent mass migration, sanctuary cities wouldn't exist.

This goes well with the other GKC quote:

Think deeply about this quote and it will forever change your views about education. It will wake you up to how far we have fallen.

Of all the wonders that I yet have heard,
It seems to me most strange that men should fear;
Seeing that death, a necessary end,
Will come when it will come.
Cowards die many times before their deaths;
The valiant never taste of death but once.
We used to understand human beings are fragile and death could come at any time for any number of reasons. This wasn’t being “doomer,” just honest.
Now there’s messaging that if you “do all the right things” you can avoid death. This is not true and is a dangerous way to think.

From '95 to '97 we home-schooled our daughter for the last two years of high-school.
During that time she was also a columnist for the state's largest newspaper and played rhythm guitar in a blues band.
She graduated summa cum laude with all-university honors in philosophy.
It is increasingly normal, even respectable, to homeschool or classically educate. But if you did it 30 years ago you were next level weird.
A huge shout out to the families who risked everything back in the 80s and 90s. 🙌
