Ahead of a presidential election, opinion polls are a major news item. Most of these polls are not designed to reflect public opinion but instead to shape it. As most big media leans left, such shaping is always to the benefit of the Democrat party.
The COVID-delayed results of the 2020 census are finally in, with totals for the 50 states and the District of Columbia at nearly one-third of a billion -- 331,449,281 -- and with surprises having to do with the short run and what French historians call the "longue duree."
Joe Biden may not be a radical socialist, but he is doing the best imitation of one this writer has lately seen.
Do I live in an alternate universe?
The media tell me my side is winning.
Another pro-President Joe Biden union just told it's rank-and-file members: Sorry, guys, you are all fired.
"How many legs does a dog have if you call his tail a leg?" asked President Abraham Lincoln, who answered his own question:
How will future historians explain this? From 2001 to 2014, majorities of Americans, including supermajorities of blacks and non-Hispanic whites, told Gallup pollsters that "race relations" were either very or somewhat good.
