The Red Ripple
I’m old enough that I should know better. Many pundits declared a Republican red wave would sweep the nation on November eighth. I allowed myself to be caught up in their pre-election enthusiasm. I thought we had good candidates and that the issues were on our side. I continue to believe that defunding the police, cashless bail, and open borders are bad ideas. I felt certain that people would see that and vote in a massive way for change. More people did vote and an assortment of America First candidates did win but, more progressives were also elected.
ZuckerBucks & Trump
During the COVID pandemic, Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan poured $400 million into election offices across the country.

Did Zuckerberg spend this money to make elections more open and fair during the pandemic or was this a partisan effort to assist Joe Biden? Rigged: The Zuckerberg Funded Plot to Defeat Donald Trump is a 41-minute documentary that examines the issue.
