— Macy’s Now Publicly Supporting “Sharia Law.” Are You Shopping There?
https://independentminute.com/2019/02/13/american-retailer-now-publicly-supporting-sharia-law-are-you-shopping-there-2/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: What
needs to happen is this: any person who wants to come to America to start a new
life is welcome if they legally apply for citizenship, learn the English
language, prove they have a valuable skill or trade, and embrace western
culture. To become an American citizen doesn’t mean you forget where you came
from, but it does require you to renounce all that is un-American in your
previous culture and work to preserve the new culture you have entered. But
radical Muslims refuse to do that. And somehow Liberals are letting them get
away with this. It’s time for Republicans to stand up to this shady business,
call out those who publicly support Sharia law, and stop those who follow
Sharia to the letter from becoming part of American culture. For now, a good
place to start would be to boycott Macy’s. Are you in?)

— African Americans are held back the most by student loan debt. – Harry
Williams (DIERSEN: Did try to get a student loan? I did not. I doubt that
anyone would have given me a student loan. I had not displayed any leadership
potential; I spend my junior and senior years in high school and the summer in
between washing dishes for the minimum wage in the basement of the S.S. Kresges
in Chicago Heights. I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of my class
and my ACT was only 24. Further, neither of my parents had attended college. My
father was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma and my mother
never attended high school. Further, I had been classified 1-A for the draft
notwithstanding the fact that my eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20, I
had partial red/green color blindness, and I had Osgood-Schlatter disease (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osgood%E2%80%93Schlatter_disease).)
