This is an issue that could elicit a wide variety of opinions and feelings, but my two cents says that this just is not right! Removing or at least limiting the human touch from school classrooms seems like the wrong way to go, especially in an era where kids feel less and less connected to the world they're growing up in. Watch the attached video to get a sense of what I'm talking about....
In spite of being given numerous (well, a few at least) chances to explain how she will bring prices down in America and make life affordable again in the United States, Kamala Harris refuses.

The attached video features a lengthy break down of her recent interview in...

That has got to absolutely hurt. The news looks bleak for Tim Walz in his bid to become Vice President of the United States of America.

Every now and then, in super rare instances, large media conglomerates such as CNN do actual journalism.

Since 2017, CNN discovered that Harris spoke more than 50 times either on public statements or on her Twitter account about how badly she disagreed and even detested the idea of Trump's border wall and push to expand the...
The more you know! Kamala Harris's campaign has one key feature: they bus hundreds of supporters from rally to rally across the United States. This is done in an attempt to show that they have a groundswell of support in various locations. The Harris campaign must think that people don't have cameras and the ability to share video, photos and information at the click of a mouse! The Kamala Harris campaign thinks the public is stupid. She'll be proven sorely wrong on Election...

The ever-lying politician we all know as Kamala Harris has been caught once again turning out make-believe nonsense as she tries to distance herself from her crystal-clear support for the concept of a national fracking ban in 2019.

When you dig into the presidential campaign of Kamala Harris and try learning what she actually stands for, you'll quickly learn she is an empty shell. Hearing her speak is downright painful. She strings a long list of words together in multiple sentences, but while speaking, she is saying nothing! Harris supporters continuously fail to specify what her accomplishments are. How pathetic is that? Most recently, we learned she wants to raise corporate taxes from 21 percent to 28 percent. Shocker!...
