In 2020, Japan’s Hayabusa 2 spacecraft returned to Earth with 5.4 grams of rock from the 4.5-billion-year-old asteroid Ryugu. After the sample capsule…

He’s wrong, of course, but only missed the truth by a hair: Latinos think they’re Americans.Democrats are having a hard time explaining the “Latino vote” this year. That’s because it doesn’t exist. Most came into this country poor, uneducated and speaking Spanish. And over the generations, they’ve become regular Americans in every sense of the word.
