Mr. Rogers's excellent essay marks the last to have been personally commissioned by Dr. Francis.

This page from the 2005 Council of Conservative Citizens' publication might sound familiar--the 14th Amendment sucks, Harvard has gone woke (by Pat Buchanan), and white nationalist misogynist Sam Francis defending Larry Summers' sexist essentialism against Harvard's woke mob.

All of those churches who turned away the woman looking for formula to feed her hungry baby will soon be retelling the story of the pregnant woman who was turned away at the inn and forced to put her newborn baby in a manger.

‘How is this possible?’: a new film looks inside the appalling abuses of the Alabama prison system In the year’s most shocking documentary, The Alabama Solution, prisoners share astonishing footage in a plea for help

And now, if you read the devastating piece about what Venezuelan deportees endured at the El Salvador torture prison, read what incarcerated U.S. citizens endure in Alabama prisons.

State prisons in the U.S. that are massive systems of human rights violations.

What I Learned About Dick Cheney The former vice president was certain he knew better than the citizens he served what was good for them.

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

So to cap their horrible week, Senate Republicans refused a deal to reopen the government in exchange for just helping people with health insurance and now the president wants the Supreme Court to say he doesn’t have to obey the law and feed the hungry.

Amazing.
