Life expectancy continues to fall: The Good, Bad, and Ugly of the week

A lot can happen in a week. Some of it good. Some of it bad. Some of it downright ugly. When faced with intriguing developments in the week's news, we turn to a rotating panel of "non-experts" to parse The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly of it all.

This week, our panel weighs in on these stories:

• American life expectancy continuing to fall, with clear distinctions along racial and political lines
• Social studies guidelines for Texas public schools being put on hold until 2025

Our panel of non-experts this week includes:

• Marco Roberts, chairman of the Texas Conservative Liberty Forum
• Mary Flood, attorney and consultant for Androvett Legal Media and Marketing
