Biden Keeps Senate Documents Secret, Hidden from Public

Thousands of documents pertaining to Joe Biden�s nearly 40-year career in the U.S. Senate are still unavailable to the public after one of the preliminary release deadlines agreed to by the former vice president passed on Tuesday.

The documents, which purportedly fill 1,875 boxes and include 415 gigabytes of electronic records spanning Biden�s time in Congress between 1973 through 2009, were to be made public on Dec. 31, 2019, according to an agreement the former vice president entered into with the University of Delaware in 2011 upon donating his papers to the institution.

Those parameters, however, were changed on April 24�the day before Biden declared his 2020 campaign�when the university announced the trove of documents would now be made public on Dec. 31 or �two years� after the former vice president �retires from public life.� At the time, the university provided no definition for what it considered �public life,� leaving open the final date for release.

Greta Thunberg: A Living Explanation of the Left

It is not easy to understand what the left — as opposed to liberals — stands for. If you ask a Christian what to read to learn the basics of Christianity, you will be told the Bible. If you ask a (religious) Jew, you will be told the Hebrew Bible and the Talmud. If you ask a Mormon, you will be told the Bible and the Book of Mormon. Ask a Muslim and you will be told the Quran.

But if you ask a leftist what one or two books you should read to understand leftism, every leftist will give you a different answer — or need some time to think it over. Few, if any, will suggest Marx’s “Das Kapital” because almost no leftists have read it and because you will either not finish the book or reject it as incoherent.

So, then, how is one to understand what leftism stands for?

County Expands Hours For Adult Medical Day Services

SNOW HILL � Worcester County�s only adult medical daycare now offers expanded hours.

Worcester County Adult Medical Day Services is now open from 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. five days a week. The program, which is open to chronically ill, frail or impaired adults, provides individuals with a place to go so they�re not home alone.

�Having a place like adult medical daycare can help a family keep a loved one aging in place rather than having them go to a nursing home,� said Brandy Trader, program director and social worker for Worcester Adult Medical Day Services. �It�s definitely the more affordable way to go.�

Trader said the medical day service located in Snow Hill was the only one available in Worcester County. Licensed for 60 clients, the program is currently serving about 20 individuals. Officials hope that the service�s recently extended hours will allow more people to take advantage of it.

Williams: How Colleges Dupe Parents and Taxpayers

Colleges have been around for centuries. College students have also been around for centuries. Yet, college administrators assume that today�s students have needs that were unknown to their predecessors. Those needs include diversity and equity personnel, with massive budgets to accommodate.

According to Minding the Campus, Penn State University�s Office of Vice Provost for Educational Equity employs 66 staff members. The University of Michigan currently employs a diversity staff of 93 full-time diversity administrators, officers, directors, vice provosts, deans, consultants, specialists, investigators, managers, executive assistants, administrative assistants, analysts, and coordinators. Amherst College, with a student body of 1,800 students employs 19 diversity people.

Top college diversity bureaucrats earn six-figure salaries, in some cases approaching $500,000 per year. In the case of the University of Michigan, a quarter (26) of their diversity officers earn annual salaries of more than $100,000. If you add generous fringe benefits and other expenses, you could easily be talking about $13 million a year in diversity costs. The Economist reports that University of California at Berkeley has 175 diversity bureaucrats.

‘Diversity officials’ are a growing part of a college bureaucracy structure that outnumbers faculty by 2 to 2.5, depending on the college.

Atheist Group Calls for IRS Investigation into Tax Status of Church Hosting Evangelicals for Trump

An atheist group has written a letter to the Internal Revenue Service requesting an investigation into the El Rey Jesus Church in Miami, which is hosting Friday�s Evangelicals for Trump kickoff event.

�The Wisconsin-based Freedom From Religion Foundation (�FFRF�) on Tuesday demanded that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) take action and promptly investigate a Miami megachurch over a planned rally in support of President Donald Trump,� Law & Crime reported.

FFRF �said the Ministerio Internacional El Rey Jes�s�s (King Jesus International Ministry�s) planned Jan. 3 rally violates the Johnson Amendment, which specifically prohibits tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organizations, such as churches, from participating in political campaigns,� Law & Crime noted.

Breitbart News spoke with FFRF Co-President Annie Laurie Gaylor on Thursday and questioned whether the atheist group applies different standards to churches that host Republican candidates, as opposed to Democrat candidates.

�I can assure you that we complained about many Democrats. We have an FAQ on our website about that,� Gaylor told Breitbart News on Thursday.

�I know we did something about Hillary Clinton in a press release,� she added.

Breitbart News reviewed the hundreds of press releases issued by the FFRF between 2015 and 2019 and found no mention of a complaint filed by FFRF against any church that hosted an event for Hillary Clinton, the 2016 Democrat presidential nominee.

Most Voters Want Immigration Reductions

Most Americans want sharp reductions to the annual inflow of roughly one million legal immigrant workers, consumers, and renters.

Rasmussen asked 1,250 likely voters in mid-December: �Which is closest to the number of new immigrants the government should be adding each year � fewer than 500,000, 750,000, one million, one and a half million, or more than one and a half million?�

Fifty-one percent said they want immigration sharply reduced, including 36 percent who said they want fewer than 500,000 immigrants and 15 percent who said they want fewer than 750,000 new migrants.

In contrast, just 17 percent said they want legal immigration raised to at least 1.5 million a year.

Those 51 to 17 percent result shows three Americans want immigration reductions for every one American who wants migration increases.
