Biden was a senior in high school when his opponent was a freshman. They’re the same damn age. If the media doesn’t stop playing with fire by trying to both sides this election, Biden’s age is going to be the Hillary’s emails of 2024.
There are farmers who contract immigrants from Mexico and pay for their housing all over Texas. One in particular does it at the Plainview Labor Camp who puts at least four people in each apartment and contracts from Mexico every single year, transporting them to here. Those…
If your job requires a college degree, you should be able to write-off your student loan payments as a business expense the way CEOs write off their private jets and yachts for their jobs which require neither.
The five signs of fascism: 1) Rejecting of democracy in favor of a strongman 2) Stoking rage against cultural elites 3) Nationalism based on “superior” race 4) Extolling brute strength & heroic warriors 5) Disdain of women and LGBTQ+ people Sound familiar?
Whenever I see someone wearing a mask in public now, I have three thoughts: 1. They're sick and protecting me. 2. They're sick and protecting themselves. 3. They're perfectly healthy but protecting someone they love who is sick. And in none of those scenarios is it my business.

Orcas have done more for social justice than the Supreme Court has this year
So we’re clear: The Supreme Court ended affirmative action yesterday by saying you CAN’T discriminate by helping a minority group, then turned around today and said you CAN discriminate by hurting them.
Maybe we shouldn’t be super literal about a nearly 240-year-old document that defined Black people as 3/5 of a person?
remember last year at this exact time when Dobbs dropped and we were like “lgbtq+ rights will be next” and people said we were “being dramatic”
The Supreme Court has ruled that businesses can discriminate against LGBTQ Americans.
hey everybody, i know these scotus rulings are really brutal but let’s all just take a moment, go outside, take a deep breath and —
The news is always like: "America has banned wheelchair ramps because they weren't in the Bible. Finland has made ice cream free."
Still waiting for a Adam/Eve literalist to explain how monogamous marriage worked with their kids and why incest wasn't sinful "then" but it is now yet God's moral law is objectively true throughout time.
The man who leads the Senate in prayer is fed up with thoughts and prayers. Today, Senate Chaplain Barry Black's gave an honest and bold rebuke of the common empty sentiment in his opening prayer: "Lord, when babies die at a church school, it is time for us to move beyond…
It’s not just eggs. Since 2020: The price of bread is up 22% Flour up 21% Butter is up 31% Meanwhile, food giant Cargill saw its profit double to a record $6.7B. Follow the money, and the story is clear: Food corporations are using inflation as cover to jack up prices.
Mass shooters don’t choose the AR-15 because it looks “cool.” They choose it, because they can kill upwards of 30 people before needing to reload. On Sept 28th, 1982, 12 year old Mary Kellerman was hospitalized after being poisoned by a killer who laced a bottle of Tylenol that…
Watching certain Republicans cackle with glee over three 9 year olds deaths because the killer identified as transgender (“I bet the liberal media sweeps that under the rug!”) is one of the sickest things I’ve seen from the party of “pro-life”. And that list is long.
TCU is the happiest school in the nation? Heck yeah!
All smiles at the happiest place in the U.S.😉 We're not kidding – Resumeio recently released a report ranking TCU #1 as the happiest school in the nation. #LeadOnTCU 🔗 bit.ly/3JzL3R3
Also crazy… 3.7 of the state's 5.7mil population lives in that blue area. Luck for us all, land doesn’t vote, people do.
It is crazy to think that without the Minneapolis area and Suburbs right outside Minneapolis, Minnesota would be solidly Red lol.
It's impressive how far some will go to find ways to scapegoat the less fortunate. While corporate profits are off the charts, wages remain lower or flat, and still, they somehow manage to push the blame on the poor as they are just "so lazy" and "don't want to work."
