Truly Unbelievable !
In a video posted by Mark Kaye on June 30 of last year, he begins by wryly assuring his viewers that he’s not making up the insanity he’s about to expose.

Is it 1950 ?
On Jan. 11 Barton Thorne, principal of a Memphis high school, posted a video in which he denounced the Jan. 6 invasion of the Capitol while nevertheless comparing the widespread High Tech assault on Free Speech to the hysteria of 50’s McCarthyism. He was, ironically, placed on forced leave after several of his own staff …
