Why These Vichy Dems and Their Spineless Boss Need to Go Now
We need courage and clarity from our leaders. Schumer and these eight in the Senate have shown they have failed that test. Time to turn the page.

It seems crucial (and long overdue) that our national political discourse has finally shifted from an obsession with "the economy" to what actually matters: whether people can afford the basic things they need to live.

Culture + religion (and its art, literature, music, family ties, traditions) is what makes life worth living. There is no life without culture. When has there been public life w/o culture?
Can’t we just add Eid and Diwali celebrations, traditions rather than subtract Christmas?

Old man in our local shop just told me that Tesco have removed the word "Christmas" from their mince pies so it doesn't "offend the Muslims" and I reckon that means Christmas time is now officially upon us.

“Everyone is treated with respect. We get along despite our differences.” 🙂
I heard some old friends at Pod Save America were in town, so I decided to stop by. As we saw this week, we can change this country for the better. But it’s going to take all of us getting organized and having honest conversations about the best way forward.

“Everyone is treated with respect. We get along despite our differences.” 🙂
Yes. Women are bitches if we ask that men focus on the task at hand, not their desire to have a little fun. Protecting our boundaries is depriving men of the fun they feel entitled to. And now managers have access to our data so we can be targeted. If we complain, we are bitches seeking revenge.
