Elizabeth Willing Powel, considered one of the well-connected social figures of Colonial and Early Republic Philadelphia, to Benjamin Franklin as the Constitutional Convention concluded in Philadelphia, “Well, Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?”
Benjamin Franklin replied, “A republic, if you can keep it. Our responsibility is to keep it.” Meaning: The fragility of a democratic republic at that time, and the responsibility of the citizens to maintain it.

Months before he was fired as FBI director, James Comey expressed discomfort in the final weeks of the 2016 election when he was compelled to tell Congress that agents had found more Hillary Clinton emails on a laptop belonging to disgraced former Democrat Congressman Anthony Weiner, according to newly released court records.
Comey is currently being prosecuted on charges he misled and obstructed Congress when he denied authorizing leaks to the media about the FBI’s Clinton investigation in 2016.
As Comey denies wrongdoing and fights to dismiss the charges, the Justice Department has released never-before-seen messages from Comey to his friend and confidante Daniel Richman, showing that Comey expected Clinton to emerge victorious over Donald Trump and shining more light on the so-called “October Surprise” - the Weiner laptop emails - which actually came as no surprise to FBI leaders.
Comey expected Clinton to be “president-elect Clinton” after the November 2016 election, according to recently-unearthed emails he sent to Richman, and further emails released this week by the Department of Justice (DOJ) show that he was unhappy but believed he needed to alert Congress to the fact that the bureau had found more Clinton emails on the Weiner laptop
Richman, a former DOJ official and current Professor of Law at Columbia University Law School, was assisting the FBI during the 2016 election. It is already public knowledge that Richman later assisted Comey by leaking the so-called “Comey Memos” to the New York Times in 2017 after Comey's firing by President Donald Trump.
The DOJ alleges the emails show Comey was aware of and was encouraging Richman's contacts with the media in 2016, contrary to his later claims to Congress. Comey has pleaded innocent and portrayed his prosecution as a “political vendetta”.
Despite going after Clinton for her improper use of a private email server, Comey himself was using a personal and anonymous Gmail account to discuss FBI matters with Richman, the new memos show.

On Thursday November 6th, the University of California, San Diego released a report that is undoubtedly worthy of the attention of any fair minded news organization. The problem is of course, we don't have many who would fall under that category.
The report shows that from 2020, the start of the pandemic, to this current year, the percentage of incoming freshmen at the University whose math skills are below middle school level, has increased to over 12%, up from less than 1 percent in 2020. Unfortunately, only one network bothered to include this news in its' prime time nightly newscast.
CBS, NBC, and ABC were all AWOL on their respective nighty newscasts, and did not mention this story from the day it was released, through and including Thursday of this week. Fox News's Special Report with Bret Baier did cover it, this Thursday, complete with a package from Chief Correspondent Jonathan Hunt, as part of their continuing series on “Failing Our Children”, a perfect fit.News Busters.org
