In case you missed it last week, it seems some small outfit called the Satanic Temple won the right - on religious freedom grounds - to display a statue of Baphomet, a satanic occult figure, in the Iowa capitol building.

Headlining this week’s news from the heartland is the story of an up-and-coming country-western singer known as Tennessee Jet, who has just been canceled from a venue in Tulsa, Oklahoma, because his new song “2+2” is deemed hateful, intolerant and transphobic by the management of the Mercury Lounge, where he was scheduled to perform.

According to a recent Wall Street Journal/NORC survey, just 36% of Americans believe that “the American dream still holds true.” This figure is a significant drop from surveys taken in 2012 (when 53% of Americans believed that the American Dream remained viable) and in 2016 (when 48% of Americans believed that the American Dream was real).
