Here in Nampa, Idaho, the school district has ordered 22 books removed 'forever' from the school libraries.
The list included "The Bluest Eye" by Toni Morrison, "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close"
by Jonathan Safran Foer, and "The Handmaid's Tale" by Margaret Atwood.
At this time there's no indication they're looking at removing the Old Testament of the Bible,
so faithful followers can rest assured there, at least for the time being.
The Handmaid's Tale Book Review: A Dystopian Masterpiece (bookanalysis.com)
Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close - A Review of why the book is so important
The Bluest Eye - Common sense book for any US literature class
This book is written from the perspective of a young African American woman during the 1940s, about her life, struggles and her quest to essentially feel or be white.
Although some may consider it graphic and overly sexual, it’s an accurate representation of how young African American women felt during those times,
as well as the African Americans place in society during the early and mid 20th century.
It truly is a literary masterpiece, and absolutely appropriate for 15 and above.

You can't be pro-life and anti-gun control.
Owning a gun should be a privilege, not a right.
Seven million more voters voted for Biden than Trump,
and yet many Republicans still think Trump won.
It's long past time to get rid of the Electoral College.
One person - one vote, that's how civilized nations elect their leaders.
Trump is the real RINO.
Republicans, wake up!
Trump's only agenda is to go after anyone who opposes him.
Trump and Putin have a lot in common.
Do Republicans support one-party rule, or our Democracy?
They need to decide.
Or?
Perhaps they already have?

News organizations have standards and don't slant the news.
Fox calls itself a news organization.
To refer to them as Fox Fables would be a more precise naming.
Sadly...

Commentary On The Practice Of Picketing Homes Of Judges And Other Officials
Some may see this as a good way to show their support for or against an issue.
However they will likely achieve the very opposite of what they desire, a change in policy or opinion on a public matter.
One's home and family should be off limits. When you cross that line you'll most likely hurt your cause rather than help it.

Trump sees 'vengeance' on the political horizon
If Trump runs, and he probably will, the Republicans will be crushed by a majority
of the country that doesn't like his vengeful approach to anyone who opposes him.
While he had 7 million more votes against him last time,
he'll probably lose the popular vote by more than 10 million in 2024.
But - that doesn't mean he'll lose the Electoral count.
A few key states are all it takes to sway an election.
Trump lost last time because of the courage of citizens
who put truth and right over the bullying efforts to falsely throw the election to Trump.
But Trump and his supporters don't have Pence to worry about this time.
He stood up for the Constitutiion and the rule of law,
and that crushed Trump's attempt at undermining the fair vote of the people.
But, were Trump to win in 2024,
his main agenda will be to go after anyone who opposed him.
Trump, is actually the biggest RINO of all.
True Republicans play fair and respect the other party.
Trump, to put it nicely, lacks any moral code or respect for our government or institutions.

Trump's ex-defense chief says he won't back Trump in 2024
Gosh, Trump doesn't put country over self?
He lacks integrity and principle?
He doesn't bring people together or unite the country?

Gov. Hogan urges voters to 'stand against the extremes'
What would benefit each of the states would be for each state to have a primary where everybody could vote
on all the candidates, and then the top two would run against each other in the general election.
That would force everyone to concentrate on the issues and what's best for the state,
instead of a power struggle between the parties, with the interests of the state and the people left out of the discussion.

Fox's Maria Bartiromo fed Trump's chief of staff the questions she planned to ask him ahead of an on-air interview
Not at all the most ethical thing for an interviewer to do, but then again typical of what some call Fox Fables.
Georgia special grand jury to convene Monday to investigate Trump’s effort to overturn the election
You may remember the news of Trump trying to pressure an official
to find 12,000 votes to sway that state's Electoral College vote to him.
That's the big problem with our Electoral College system.
A few key "swing" states decide the direction of the country.
It doesn't matter that Trump lost the popular vote by seven million votes.
So election efforts by the whole nation focus on a few key states.
All the other states, their interests, their concerns, really don't matter in the big picture of getting elected.
The Electoral College no longer serves its purpose.
In short, it is America's weakest link. We should replace it with the popular vote.

Here again, the Electoral College shows us it's America's weakest link.
The popular vote - how civilized countries elect their leaders.
