Is this the Onion?

The Oklahoma superintendent of schools said it is OK to teach schoolchildren about the Tulsa Race Massacre, but not OK to teach that it was motivated by the 'color of anyone’s skin' baptistnews.com/article/oklaho…

Rarely anybody has grasped that well what the Habsburgs are up to

...Ever get the feeling that the Habsburgs decided to just chill for a century or two, and see what happened next?

The 2020 presidential election was not stolen. Anyone who claims it was is spreading THE BIG LIE, turning their back on the rule of law, and poisoning our democratic system.

"Mr. Warnock? Aye." A lot of talk about Manchin this and Manchin that, but Georgia had a much bigger impact on this bill than the Senator from West Virginia.



It’s clear polling wrong enough in a couple of states that it’s going to be close. AND, because of mail turnout, we won’t know for at least a few days, maybe a week I suspect. I’m sure everyone will handle it well and stay calm, especially our President.

I’m just going to end up tweeting out Euro DBQ’s doc by doc. The last one was a joke. This one is actually going on a DBQ this year.
