Doctors and medical experts have stated that there is NO data that shows an increase in COVID-19 cases and in school learning, those are FACTS! We can all fall victim to fear mongering but these kids need to be in school. They are the ones that are going to be the next generation doctors and nurses.

New cases are still being reported every day and the coronavirus remains deadly. Many people argue schools shouldn't be open until students and teachers are vaccinated.

Sarah Norton

We need more vaccine rollout in the community. Getting close but it's still too early. Maybe April or just wait until next fall.

The current administration of Iran has proven to be unreliable and is not trustworthy.

Max

Iran has plenty of oil for energy generation.

Fred

No, not as long as the current regime is in power. Theocracies are always bad news ... something we should keep in mind!

Max

That has been going on since the Prophet Muhammad found the Muslim church in 610 AD.

The Constitution vests the power in the legislative branch to ensure decisions on war are made democratically, rather than by a single person.

It would take congress years to make a decision, and the amount of pork required would be phenomenal. Congress is dysfunctional.

Max

Most congressmen are millionaires, but our nation is nearly $40 Trillion in debt.

Max

Congress can't even pass a budget to fund the government.
