After all the years I taught persuasive writing, I find that I rarely have the stomach or stamina anymore to engage in civil or uncivil debate. Hoping that the ones I taught are out there, full of energy and carrying some truth and debate forward.
Nobel Peace Prize, my ass.

Virginia Giuffreβs Brother: It was disgraceful that Bondi couldn't even acknowledge us because if they did that, then they would admit wrongdoing. Our president can't do that. The reason is he is potentially implicated in these files. He may have to answer some questions himself.
