  1. how ’bout we start the ‘2015 Project’? … the history of when ‘journalism’ died

    then we can move on to a couple of ‘2020 Project’s … the year when Science, National Health Care Being Non-Political, Common Sense, & D’rat Cities died … or the year Joe Biden’s Brain Dried Up

  3. Someone should write “The Criminal History of Black America” with stats, just during the last 60 years. It might shut up the black supremacist race-baiters and reparationists for a while when the people finally see the real facts.
