Failing Grades On Civics Exam Called A ‘crisis’

One of the deciding factors in Donald Trump’s reelection was the support he received from men. A majority (55%) of men voted for him, while 53% of women voted for Kamala Harris, according to CNN’s exit polls. This reveals something quite remarkable: It’s not just that Americans can’t understand one another across the aisle—we can’t bridge the divides across our kitchen tables anymore.

In the end, America’s verdict was delivered quicker than many observers had expected. The electorate’s swing towards Donald Trump and the GOP may well have been an immediate result of lingering unhappiness with post-pandemic inflation and public disinterest in the Biden administration’s efforts to restructure the United States economy. Many Democratic voters, however, likely woke up on Nov.

CAMARILLO, Calif. — A fast-moving wildfire fueled by heavy winds was tearing through a community northwest of Los Angeles for a second day Thursday after destroying dozens of homes and forcing thousands of residents to flee when it exploded in size in only a few hours. The Mountain Fire prompted evacuation orders Wednesday for more than 10,000 people as it threatened 3,500 structures in suburban communities, ranches and agricultural areas around Camarillo, California Gov.

When Donald Trump won the presidency in 2016, Jesse Ramirez took the day off to mourn. “I was totally heartbroken at the fact our nation had chosen someone like Donald Trump to be the face of our country,” said Ramirez, founder and executive director of Inspire, a Colorado nonprofit that helps low-income, Latino high school students access college. When Trump, ousted by voters in 2020, secured a second term by defeating Vice President Kamala Harris this week, Ramirez said he knew he must step up and help. “The very safety of some of our students and families is going to depend on people like me,” the 43-year-old, first-generation Mexican-American said.

From the rowdy saloons of the 1850s to the roaring post-Prohibition days in the 1930s and ’40s to the craft brews and $25 cocktails of the moment, Colorado history has paired up with drinking culture in the same way that gin goes with tonic or beer goes with a burger. But not all watering holes are created equal.
