The Free Speech champions are free speeching so hard right now as they establish "forbidden terms" to appear in studies and publications

Auditing data should be a bipartisan goal.

Looks like updates to CDC’s public death reporting system may have been halted.  If Dems did this the right would probably be screaming that Dems were now planning to kill them or something.

 

 

 

 

Fortunately, this may have been a false alarm

Is this written on that statue resting on the coast of New Zealand that also reads “Give me your tired, your poor. Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. The wretched refuge of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempted tossed to me, I shine my lamp beside the Golden Door!”

The answer is no, because that statue doesn’t exist in New Zealand.  A different country built on different values. Not to mention the size of New Zealand doesn’t fully stretch even the eastern seaboard of the United States. 
 

Great comparison though. 

LOL it is a statue, not a founding document.  It has no bearing on how we are governed or our policies.  Put whatever you want on a statue...

When in Rome shouting, "Carpe Diem" you get the common response "niente prima del caffe"  Just goes to show that things change

It is not an official document no.  It has bearing on how we are governed in that it is one of the foundational principles upon which the nation was developed.   It is also a major ingredient into how this nation developed into, and still is, the greatest in the world.

It absolutely does not and never did.  It was verse from a poem.  The sonnet's heart is in the right place, and I agree with much of the premise, but has nothing to do with how we are governed.  It was basically a go-fund-me to build a base for Lady Liberty.

I think you should build a statue of Bob Marley with a verse from "One Love" on it.  It would be nice if that had a bearing on how we were governed!

No doubt you are correct here. Immigration was the very cornerstone of the 'melting pot' that formed our great nation.

Great ideas and concepts routinely make their way into music, poetry, and inscriptions (and vice-versa.)
