The challenge for all of us is to escape from what we WANT TO BE TRUE and let our hearts and minds discover what IS TRUE.
History should not be about making us feel good or patriotic. History is what happened, recorded or not. If we want to understand what happened or claim that we know our country's history, we must see it as it is-all of it-not how we want it to be. If we choose to ignore or can't handle what we are not proud of, we are saying...

The Heritage Foundation has so far documented 1,328 proven cases of voter fraud since America's founding. Nonetheless, these numbers are miniscule compared to the millions of legal votes cast. Even if they likely represent the tip of an iceberg of voter fraud-there are not enough "proven" cases in the 2020 election to alter the seven million plus Joe Biden election victory margin. Or are there?
