U.S. — A new USA Today poll has found that an overwhelming majority of Democrats are in favor of welcoming immigrants from Central and South America into other people's neighborhoods.

"When we posed the question...

Senate Minority leader Mitch McConnell said the GOP would “certainly welcome” West Virginia Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin “if he was so inclined” to flip parties. Manchin has been bashed by his partisan colleagues for pledging to vote against President Joe Biden’s Build Back Better plan.

McConnell said he wasn’t sure how Manchin would vote but is pleased that his decision effectively ends any chance that the bill will get the...

Hi there. I'm a "new" member - actually I have been on here under a different name (I honestly can't remember it) over 10 years ago. I lived in Canada then and did for 30+ years but I am now in the southern USA attending my graduate school. I am sick of all the political correctness and extreme cost/tax increases that are being seen in liberal regions (I saw it when in Canada, where my region - somewhat conservative - was being badly outnumbered by big city liberals). I'm now in a fairly red state, and it is so much...
