OFF MY MEDS by Les Taha (November 12, 2020)

COMICALLY INCORRECT by A.F. Branco (November 12, 2020)

OP-ED: The media shouldn’t have ‘called’ this election

Joe Biden has made it clear that he will do his best to “unify” the country following an election in which more than 71 million Americans – nearly half the electorate – voted for Donald Trump. It is an admirable goal.

OP-ED: Texas’s much-hyped ‘blue wave’ was a washout

THIS WEEK IN AMERICAN HISTORY

NOVEMBER 11, 1918 – At 5 a.m., in Marshal Foch’s railway car in the Forest of Compiegne, the Armistice between the Allied and Central Powers was signed, silencing the guns of World War I effective at 11 a.m. – the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month.
