How to Say No
By Jeffrey Folks
Parents find it hard to say "no" to their children. According to one source, parents "worry that a "no" will harm their relationship, or they are afraid to anger their children and "cause a battle."

The Biden administration has found no end of crises, from COVID relief to student loan forgiveness to the climate "emergency," all of them requiring massive wealth transfer to those who just happen to be large contributors to Democrat campaigns.
