With NFL playoffs about to begin, State Farm Insurance will be constantly running commercials in which multimillionaire Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid and his multimillionaire star player Patrick Mahomes belittle themselves by using their fame to personally cash in instead of using it like, say, did, to address an issue of social significance. True to form, the NFL blackballed Kaepernick but at least he maintained his dignity.

ENVIRONMENT - President Joe Biden lost a lot of support, especially among young voters and climate voters, when he approved the foolish Willow Project.

If the 42-inch pipeline ever explodes at 1,480 pounds per square inch of gas pressure, it will be like nothing we have ever seen. Anyone nearby will likely not survive.
