Mary is the resident libertarian. She covers stories in every vertical, but her favorite thing to do is take on the media. She saw its bias against the right when she was a socialist.

Mary loves the Chicago Cubs, Chicago Blackhawks, tennis, cats, Oxford comma, Diet Coke, and needlework.

But I thought everyone would calm down when the federal agents left the federal courthouse in Portland! The latest riot in Portland proves it has everything to do with mayhem and nothing about black lives, systematic racism, or police brutality. Rioters attacked the Multnomah Building, which has offices for the local sheriff, but mostly "houses offices for county departments that provide social services that have no connection to the police."

The left cannot help themselves. They take advantage of every opportunity to attack President Donald Trump's administration. President Barack Obama did just that in his eulogy to Rep. John Lewis. But it's what he does best. Politicize and campaign whenever he can.

About 1.434 million Americans filed unemployment claims last week as states issue another shutdown due to spikes in coronavirus cases. The GDP also crashed to a 32.9% annualized rate, which is the biggest drop on record. Overall, the GDP dropped 9.5% between the first and second quarters. But we have to remember the GDP report contains numbers between March and June. It doesn't tell us what is happening now or tomorrow.
