The concern behind the fund remains real: Federal power did get used as a political weapon, and Americans deserve answers, names, records, hearings, firings, and prosecutions where evidence supports them.

My friend Janet colored hers with green stripes, which was categorically wrong, and I told her so, but her creation was hung on the classroom wall anyway, praised by parents and teachers alike for its enthusiasm. We learned about the Founding Fathers through stories that widened our young eyes with wonder. Teachers rolled in heavy TVs almost daily to show PBS historical specials, grainy 1960s films, and catchy Schoolhouse Rock segments. We recited the Pledge of Allegiance with extra energy that year.]]>Mon, 01 Jun 2026 11:26:00 -0400<![CDATA[Jamie K.

The next step will be Joe Biden’s inevitable presidential memoir, which is sure to have quite a few doozies in it, but for now, we have Jill’s, and if she thought her book would “set the record straight” and the Democrat Party would be thrilled, well, that’s not what’s happening at all.

But, for some reason, it tried to experiment with one between 2022 and 2026. Not only did they vote in a leftist, but they voted in a corrupt socialist clown.
