Following Justice Stephen Breyer’s announcement that he will be retiring, Biden shared his plan to announce the new nominee by the end of February. Meanwhile, the U.S. economy expanded 5.7% in 2021 (the largest surge since 1984). We discuss why Holocaust novel ‘Maus’ has been banned in a Tennessee school district, and the discovery of 93 possible burial sites neat a former Canada residential school. Finally we wrap with the upcoming fringe movement in Ottowa, and the recent Sarah Palin spottings in NYC (despite testing positive for COVID).
