Let's be clear: 20 miles around the White House is the overwhelming majority of Prince George's County, MD (one of the most wealthy black counties in the US) and Montgomery County, MD (the most diverse county in the US). Both are Democratic strongholds. It's not hard to figure out what he means.

The oldest fossil evidence shows that humans originated in Africa about 200,000 years ago and would have had dark pigmented skin to protect them from intense UV rays. So if you're a believer in "God," and believe man was created in his image... then it stands to reason that God is a Black man.

Why do I blame Bill Cassidy for the destruction of the CDC and the NIH? Because he is a physician. He knew or should have known the danger that Kennedy poses to the U.S. and the globe. Kennedy has never hidden what he isโa predator, a fraud, an anti-science hack, and a gargantuan narcissist.

The federal government failed to provide formerly enslaved people with 40 acres at the end of the war in 1865, but it offered White people 160 acres to move westward, starting in 1862, through the Homestead Act. That pretty much sums up the problem with America.
