Jeffries: "The border is secure. That's a good thing. It happened on his watch. He wants to claim credit for it, of course he'll get credit for that. In terms of making sure that we actually deal with the issues that matter, including on immigration, there's a lot that's left to be desired."

Now you can buy a GPD Win 5 handheld gaming PC with a Ryzen AI Max+ 395 processor and up to 128GB of RAM and 4TB of storage... if you're willing to spend $2700 on a handheld for features that matter most if you plan to use it as an AI workstation. www.indiegogo.com/en/projects/...

One thing I always want to ask these masculinity entrepreneurs is why men can’t look to women as role models, and can’t see in women models of human virtue and thriving that are worth emulating. After all, women look to men for these all the time.
Sure, Galloway is better than Peterson
But he still believes the natural order of things requires men to be supreme. Men must protect, provide and procreate. It's dressed in progressive language, but it's fundamentally a patriarchal box to trap men in

As I keep saying, this is readily apparent in the doctrinal formulation of MQD itself. Very, very plainly, it's "non-delegation doctrine but only if we feel like it," and the only reason to do that is so you can apply NDD to Democrats but not Republicans (which is what, in fact, happens)
Lesson 6: If you have a theory of the Supreme Court that does not include political ideology, its going to be wrong. During the Biden administration it was all major questions because they did not like his policies, and during Trump it is mostly unitary executive, because they do.
