What books have been banned in the state you live in California?

Taylor's Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry.

Some removed in certain California schools on account of black parents concerns over what their black children were exposed to. Like in every state it is based on the concerns of parents whose children attend the schools in question. It should not be left up to the government, public body or special interest groups.

Parents have concerns and their should be the priority. Unless of course you believe you have more rights to what someone else’s children are exposed to than their own parents.

Fair enough Roscoe.

You, on the other hand have no idea what my voting record is, but don't let ignorance stop you from doing that assume thing to yourself and making the debate personal. I apologized for my offences earlier today.

It's queer you chose to post that. Seeing as the Band AC/DC is from Upside Down Land.

Well the way I see it your words show us who you are with far more accuracy than any claims you may make. In all the years I have been reading your posts I've yet to read even one that espoused or supported a conservative viewpoint so if you aren't a liberal you certainly don't show it.

A New York judge quickly dismissed a last-minute request by Donald Trump to delay his bank and tax fraud trial in New York.

The former president's attorneys asked for a three-week halt so the judge can rule on requests from both New York attorney general Letitia James and Trump for a summary judgment in the $250 million civil suit, but Justice Arthur F. Engoron scrawled a nine-word response, reported.

“Decline to sign; Defendants’ arguments are completely without merit,” Engoron wrote on the draft order, signing with his initials.

An example of you get what you vote for. It’s like there really is consequences for your actions.

There's no working together when the federal government refuses to do anything. Texas has been on their own for how many years now? If they wanted to work together they should have volunteered when they were claiming to be sanctuary cities. Maybe then they wouldn't be so shocked to find out what others have had to deal with for years now, while people in NYC, Maryland, California, Martha’s Vineyard and similar places called them racists, right wing extremists and whatever other insults to show everyone how virtuous they were...

The migrants “will destroy New York City and “everyone will be impacted”.

Pandering politicians are a suprise to you?

Despite Biden’s claim, Europeans WEREN’T trying to oust Ukraine prosecutor targeting Hunter’s firm

The European Commission praised Ukraine’s Prosecutor-General Viktor Shokin for his efforts to fight corruption in a December 2015 progress report published nine days after then-VP Joe Biden demanded his ouster.
The report flies in the face of Biden’s claims that the European Union joined his demands that Shokin be removed for being corrupt and obstructing anti-corruption reforms.
In fact, the Dec. 18, 2015, progress report, obtained by the New York Post, says that the European Union was satisfied that Ukraine had achieved “noteworthy” progress, including in “preventing and fighting corruption,” and thus was eligible for visa-free travel in Europe.
The European Commission noted that Shokin had just appointed the head of a specialized anti-corruption prosecution office, which it described as “an indispensable component of an effective and independent institutional framework for combating high-level corruption.”

Rudy Giuliani has been sanctioned for the third time in the Shay Moss and Ruby Freeman defamation case for contempt of court in failing to produce discovery documentation. The judge has ruled in favor of the plaintiffs so when this comes to trial the jury will only be deciding how much the damages will be on top of the legal expenses to be reimbursed.

Seems like Rudy's hell bent on keeping those discovery documents out of the public's eye.
