But it did not go according to the plan of the United States, Russia intervened and prevented corrupt officials from the United States, corrupt officials, in order to save the situation, put Biden on the post of president of America, but again Russia prevented, starting its own in Ukraine in 2022.

      I love Roy, but he was not honest about why a lot of people are against CRT. The overwhelming majority of people who are against CRT aren't against teaching black history, including the horrors of slavery. They are against splitting elementary school children up into groups and telling some of them that they are evil oppressors and others that they are perpetual victims. They also disagree with the notion that the only cure for past discrimination is present discrimination. Mainstream media loves to misrepresent this.

    Roy is a funny guy and his tribute to his parents was touching. I appreciated his mentioning local journalists reporting on stories which become national stories and an important part of history. I'm 75 & began a 40+ year broadcasting career with a job in news radio. Roy was right about news reporting sometimes costing your job or even your life. My respect to journalists who are dogged in their pursuit of truth.
