“Surprisingly, the benefits were seen even for people who didn’t read. While the connection was stronger among regular readers, even nonreaders were healthier in cities with more library books.”

Biden literally set a record for blocking corporate mergers & pursued antitrust cases more aggressively than anyone had in decades, but no one cared. So now we have a president who took a $16 million bribe to approve a merger, on the condition that one of his sharpest critics be de-platformed.

This Fourth of July, I am taking a moment to reflect. Things are hard right now. They are probably going to get worse before they get better. But I love our country — and when you love something, you fight for it. Together, we will continue to fight for the ideals of our nation.
