On Wednesday California Governor Gavin Newsome signed legislation that will create a nine-member task force to study slavery and reparations for Africa-Americans.
“As a nation, we can only truly thrive when every one of us has the opportunity to thrive. Our painful history of slavery has evolved into structural racism and bias built into and permeating throughout our democratic and economic institutions,” said Newsom in a statement Wednesday afternoon.
“California’s rich diversity is our greatest asset, and we won’t turn away from this moment to make right the discrimination and disadvantages that Black Californians and people of color still face. While there is still so much work to do to unravel this legacy, these pieces of legislation are important steps in the right direction to building a more inclusive and equitable future for all,” added the governor.
Assemblymember Shirley Weber (D), the author of the legislation, argued in a statement Wednesday that California hasn’t “come to terms” with its historical role as it pertains to slavery.
“California has historically led the country on civil rights, yet we have not come to terms with our state’s ugly past that allowed slaveholding within our borders and returned escaped slaves to their masters,” said Weber.

Another Biden Lie: 'I Didn't Call Military Stupid Bastards' - Here's Video Proof
As I watched the presidential debate last night, I just knew I would have TONS of content today. If nothing else, I could write about all the Biden lies and mishaps.
For example, former Vice President Joe Biden claimed that he did not call members of the military "stupid bastards." He even laughed and told President Trump to provide the video proof.

Former Vice President Joe Biden did a poor job during the debate against President Trump and the only reason he even did that well is because of Chris Wallace who was moderating the debate.
What Wallace was really doing was enabling Biden's lies, interrupting the President, and attacking President Trump as well. Wallace really didn't show any impartiality.

Don't be fooled, the "medical experts" that we have today may be smart about their field, but they're no experts or at least they don't let on that they're experts.
I'm of the mind that just because I don't know everything about something, or because I don't have a degree in something, doesn't mean that I can't know something about the topic. I believe in something that Jordan Peterson teaches which is to always assume that the person you're listening to knows something that you don't.
