“Juneteenth should be a nationally recognized holiday. I was stunned, as a Democrat, to find I had never heard of it until this week.

“No, we’re all human beings and should be acting like it. The UN is at least an attempt, and, as such, is better than nothing. We should be working with other countries to solve world problems, and communal organizations allow us to do that. To only worry about ourselves is Neanderthal. Oh, I forgot:…”

“Idiots who think climate change is not man-made: Get an education. Look at graphs.
