  Television, movies, news media, universities, sports, nonprofits and even major corporations are increasingly controlled by leftists.
  One island of conservative sanity is talk radio, a medium in which leftists have been unable to succeed despite their best efforts and the government funding of NPR, which even some liberals are finding to be too much.
  The Hispanic community in South Florida, with its large Cuban-American population, has been right-leaning and pointedly anti-communist. That has ma

  14-07-2022 23:09
  
  It is difficult, perhaps impossible, to describe just how bad President Joe Biden is at his job.
  Comparisons to Jimmy Carter are pervasive, but trite — and too flattering to Carter. Perhaps a more apt (and dark) comparison, given how civic strife has reached a fever pitch, is to James Buchanan, historians’ typical consensus pick for worst president ever.
  Indeed, to fully capture the absolute horror that is this senile near-octogenarian’s presidency would be a Herculean task, be
