Yesterday's media coverage on CNN was unsurprisingly biased—showing a mother in tears holding a baby split screen to stock footage of a man with an rifle—as if every Trump supporter is a hostile moron. It’s this implicit media bias that gives merit to Conservative arguments. Many Conservatives, like myself, switched to vote for Biden and his narrow election was a repudiation of Trump himself and NOT an endorsement of a Progressive agenda (e.g. defunding police, soft on China, open boarders)

Hi friends - need a suggestion. My mother got critically ill due to Covid and has been in the hospital in India for over a month with added complications. Hospital charges are through the roof and it is a long road ahead of us. Are there financial aids, options available to explore to meet the expenses? We are salaried people and parents are retired.
