In an age where every company in the United States is trying to build and improve its diversity and inclusion programs, they would be putting money where their mouth is. They already were vocal proponents of the BLM protests over the summer. If they do not stay consistent, they will be seen as opportunistic panderers.

Almost everyone we met said that they loved our mission, our story, and our licenses but ultimately shied away from sponsoring us.  At the time, it felt like we hit a wall.  

If you don’t wear your mask to work – be it at the grocery store or Congress – you may come in contact with the father or mother of a child like Hallie. Don’t think of the mask as something that takes away your freedom. It’s not about control, it’s about benevolence.

In the jury’s deliberations, they will have to ascertain, among other matters, if there was a lack of investigation, a failure to properly identify Floyd, any fraudulent intent, valid probable cause for arresting him, and whether Floyd posed a threat to the four officers.

As society begins to return to the so-called “new normal,” we must do everything we can to learn from this collective trauma. As such, I think a bipartisan 9/11-style commission must convene to look back on the pandemic, investigate any instances of government mismanagement, and propose a set of recommendations to prevent this mess from happening again.

A big part of what is driving people to our southern border is narco-terrorism. The drug wars have killed thousands in Mexico and Central and South America. Intimidation and corruption run rampant.
