Happy International Women's Day.
Countless women have instructed and influenced me - from family, teachers, coworkers, bosses, heroes and friends.
And then of course, there is my wife Hillary, I never stop learning from her.
I am very grateful for the women in my life.

Oh, you pick me up
You’re out drivin’ in your car

And I’m, I’m so all alone...

They are working on behalf of their Russian master, they are siding with Authoritarianism and attacking Democracy.
