How do we move forward with the trending noted in the attached video. Even if only partially true/accurate, the trending shows that our American society will no longer be ours and our American culture will become a thing of the past. Many migrants are no longer interested in assimilating into American culture and we do not require it. We are seeing smaller scale versions of the places that migrants fled being established here - Our communities are being fractured and divided at an accelerate pace. Not looking good for the future.

Can we survive as a society and as a nation if this continues?

We have changed the name of our Youtube channel to "The Piehota Brief" based on feedback received from our supporters and mentors. We wanted to provide a channel name that was easier to remember and find in the Youtube environment. We will be making the change over this weekend and updating all applicable sites and communications. We hope you find the new channel name to be useful in outlining what we are doing: Offering a place to share ideas in a concise way that provides essential information, clarity, and context for the issues that affect our lives. We look forward to more conversations as we continue to develop and deliver content for your review and feedback.
