It should not be "controversial" that intelligence has a large hereditary component -- what human characteristic does not? Nor should it be controversial that not everyone is smart enough to get a 4-year college degree, which Charles Murray has said.

A Beagle puppy will usually teach itself to run rabbits, a Poodle puppy isn’t likely to ever get the hang of it.

PC worshipers despise the truth and do everything possible to perpetuate lies to a gullible public. Unfortunately, it amazes me at how successful they continue to be in the face of common sense.

In a nutshell, Johnson was a member of a group (sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce, I think) that invited the author of “The Bell Curve” (Murray) to speak to them about education. Murray holds some views on genetics which the far left consider heretical. Read the article for more information.

It is a close race and the donks are afraid of losing a sure Senate seat.

This is designed to peel off the middle, those afraid of being thought racist.

It may work. But, then, again, it may not.
