Secular Left - Progressive Religion Free View of the News

Just when you thought it was safe to ignore public health orders and send your children back to school, Doug looks at a new scary concept coming for your children.

Then Doug looks at an excellent news story from the local paper that refutes the reason for an uptick in violent crime forwarded by the police chief.
