Well, folks, pack it up. Black History Month had a good run. A whole 28 days to acknowledge centuries of contributions, resilience, and struggle—before being neatly shelved again for the rest of the year. But now? Thanks to the latest crusade against anything resembling diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI)
Bad Faith! The meeting with Zelenskyy was never about peace—it was a carefully staged public relations stunt to make it look like diplomacy was an option when, in reality, nothing had changed. The world was supposed to believe that Ukraine could magically negotiate with a dictator who has agreed
