Dear Pomona, California
This town, I know, has always been...like this. There have always been gangs, and there has always been a problem with transients from other parts of the country and world ... something about leaving their home state to either travel the country by foot, or, the usual - which is that a kid on the other side of the country was lured here to Southern California.

Matthew PrimousPublished 3 years ago in The SwampGB News offers plenty of angry opinion, but where are the facts?
What would C. P. Scott make of the launch this month of GB News? It is a free-to-air cable and satellite ‘news’ TV channel, with a conservative and anti 'woke' bias.
Steve HillPublished 3 years ago in The SwampChina's U Turn to Allow Couples to Have Three Children Wouldn't Amount to Much (sic)
China announced yesterday that it would now permit couples to have three children, up from the two that it specified in 2015, and a marked departure from its longstanding One Child Policy. While the One Child Policy was an attempt to slow down the burgeoning population in the 1950s after the Revolution, and was widely seen as draconian and severe, it was successful in preventing a Demographic Explosion that would have spelled much trouble for a country that was already the most populous in the world.

A lot of times i have always thought that democracy was meant to be or may be termed as a government for the people, by the people, and of the people. Or maybe should i say it refers to a form of government in which the people either have the authority to choose their governing legislators, or the authority to decide on legislation. But in Nigeria, the reverse is always being the case. On the 12th of June is the nation's democracy day celebration.
Olalekan AdeekoPublished 3 years ago in The SwampDisaster Relief Planning Reform:
2020 was an unprecedented year. FEMA called it our costliest year yet with a whopping 22 disasters. (Sillman, JD, 2021). It was a year of apocalyptic proportions that included wildfires, hurricanes, extreme temperatures, and a pandemic, during which our disaster relief fund took a significant hit. Although the United States is no amateur in the natural disaster department, this year was expensive and challenging for our disaster relief fund. It was particularly so for the state of Texas who experienced the pandemic as well as extreme temperatures. FEMA recently provided the CSRA with funding to mitigate disaster relief.

When a state hates its residents.
The state government of Missouri is rotten. This isn’t about policies that it has gotten wrong, though there are plenty of those. I’m referring to how the state government of Missouri doesn't just refuse to help its citizens, it actively works to stop assistance provided by the federal government.

Critical Race Theory: A Former Tennessee Teacher Responds to New State Legislation
Critical Race Theory. The latest newly politicized buzzword has become a polarizing topic in politics and education circles across the U.S. Touted by many academics, activists, and professional teachers as a valuable lens through which to analyze legal, political, and historical topics but widely derided by the conservative right as an inaccurate portrayal of history, today I will examine the basics of critical race theory, explain how this method comes into play in K-12 classrooms today, and argue against legislation currently awaiting the governor's signature in my home state of Tennessee.
