While we complain about “defense” spending, how’s our financial layouts for refugees and immigrants? Isn’t Germany alone dealing with 1 million plus new immigrants due to the war in Syria? Are we unwilling to count that as a “defense” contribution - ensuring the safety of the world’s refugees? And also, even if we

Betsy DeVos’s stated reason for involvement in education is to push her religious agenda and create “warriors for Jesus.” She wants to push federal money into private religious schools that teach hatred, so this testimony should not be a surprise. It’s only a surprise if people actually thought that anyone in the

As of this morning, she was very adamant to clarify that she believes everyone has the right to healthcare, and that she is privileged to have it now. Also, “equalist” is what is used in the NRC, where she works, to indicate that men and women should be judged equally without bias. Is she “woke”? Probably not. Is

If the suit was filed in California, then no. California law allows a litigant to use “Doe” to stand in only when the litigant is unaware of the true names or capacities of people. No one could turn around and add Kendall Jenner to the lawsuit with claims for influencing them (by amending the complaint to name her

I wish you were kidding about that, but it’s probably true. A friend in a female-dominated workplace had complained to her bosses about a woman manager’s harassment for years. Many of the other employees also complained, and nothing was ever done. A man was eventually hired in the department, and he complained once

This is the judicial equivalent of “Go home Trumpy, you’re drunk”. When the court says “They have established that they are likely to succeed on the merits of their claims and that the balance of harms and public interest decisively weigh in favor of an injunction”, that’s the judgy equivalent of saying go ahead and

Word. And Orlando Bloom is not even attractive (yes, I said it). I have never seen why women throw themselves at him. Or Leo. Douchebros indeed.

Flying in California, even under the current Sessions regime, is still pretty chill with regard to marijuana. I have flown at least once a month for the past 6 years with 1/2 to 3 ounces of pot each time, and I have never once been stopped for weed. An errant water bottle, sure. But the weed has never been touched,

Having been in Palm Springs this weekend I am amused by Vanessa’s first leather-clad evening. Girl, wearing full leather in the heat takes a great deal of commitment. It was around 80-95 degrees during the day and maybe got down to 60 by midnight. And I am not loving the Rhianna outfit. Great glasses, everything

Court documents state that Nagarwala admits to knowing FGM is illegal

This woman is evil. She knows the surgery is wrong but is just fine with maiming girls in the name of ... money? Whatever, she is a horrid human being.

You sir, have excellent taste. Brittany is a goddess of music and the guys are just happy she lets them be part of it. Sound and Color is one of the best albums ever.

What a hero! A “regular” person who has made a huge impact on his community and the world. Thanks for the article.

Losing weight doesn’t make someone “hot”, it just makes them weigh less. I am not a fan of her or her original show. She is still a terrible person for allowing her daughters to be abused and/or hang around with known abusers, so why would I care about this new show where she continues to exploit her daughter in

Using your own analogy, she let the insurance lapse, then paid the agent for a new policy but was still getting delayed and dicked around by the home office when the agents decided to burn her house down to teach her a lesson. A little different.

It’s great to see that this movie is now available on demand, on iTunes, and Amazon.

They had room to put in a living producer, so they should have had room for her.

So not only did they kill off a living woman, they didn’t even acknowledge a dead transgender artist. Alexis is not just some bit player and it is shameful that she was not included.

“And I’m very religious - I’m very strong in my religious values - but at the same time I care about human beings and I think that the way through it is education, education about what is going on. I think if you have knowledge there’s power in that and then whatever you believe in is only going to add to that.” This

Many of us are working on galvanizing the liberals and centrists, as it is apparent that you are either a collaborator with Trump, or a resistor. There is no real middle ground any more.
