Stubborn Things [[link removed]]


[[link removed]]Facts are stubborn things; and whatever our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passion, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence. —John Adams
As Founding Father John Adams said two and a half centuries ago, "facts are stubborn things." Our task is to identify and elevate those stubborn things.
Here are three…
1.
Efforts
by
Havana’s
communist
government
to
dismiss,
and
then
taint
a
rap
song
[[link removed]]
created
by
a
group
of
young
Cuban
artists
are
failing.
Their
video,
which
openly
ridicules
a
longstanding
Fidel
Castro
slogan,
has
amassed
nearly
5
million
views
on
YouTube
since
February.
2.
Russia
has
announced
plans
for
a
new
fleet
of
ships
explicitly
dedicated
to
the
Arctic
region,
including
more
than
a
dozen
icebreakers.
Russia
is
currently
the
only
country
in
the
world
building
nuclear-powered
icebreakers.
3.
According
to
a
recent
Monmouth
University
poll
[[link removed]]
,
over
40
percent
of
Republicans
say
they
will
likely
never
get
the
COVID-19
vaccine.
