Indoctrinate
We Americans have been hearing about indoctrination for years now. We have heard how the “Left” is using education to indoctrinate the children to be gay, to be trans, to be weak, to be progressive, to be un-American, to be elitist, to be educated, and on and on.

For a series that has become an annual event, it really is remarkable how solid this franchise is.

Everything Fades
I think it’s natural to reach a point in your life where you start to question who you are and what you meant to the world.
