No intelligent Iowan cares about this. Progressive educated intelligent Iowan women such as myself long ago ceased wasting our time on democracy. Instead we are focusing on withholding our labor from America’s military-industrial complex, which is the only leverage we possess to obtain reparations for the crime of

It’s easy to kick Ron when he’s down but you have to remember he’s at a massive disadvantage because of Putin’s troll army, which is working feverishly to get Donald re-elected. It’s weird that nobody in media is talking about that. Russian trolls typically move polling numbers by around 10 points. It’s such an

The Baptist Church continues to put a terrible strain on my marriage with its hateful misogyny.

Well, I said I heard it was taken out of context. You see what I mean about the danger of trusting anonymous sources? Even I fall into that trap sometimes.

Where I come from you don’t make an accusation unless you’re willing to say it to a person’s face. Saying it behind their back is what we call slander.

I heard that was taken out of context.

It’s possible Senator Feinstein has had some rough mornings after being up late entertaining guests. I’ve seen Hillary Clinton looking pretty ragged at times. Hillary is a drinker, like me. We need a little time and coffee in the morning to get going, but then we’re fine. Sometimes we also need a nap in the afternoon.

No. There are videos of Senator Feinstein looking tired and absent-minded, but we all have those moments. I know I would hate to be filmed at work before I’ve had my first cup of coffee.  God knows what people would think about me.

“unnamed senators and Senate staffers claimed. . .”

Here is a picture of Elena at the 2023 Australian Open. She lost the finals to Aryna, but she remained undaunted and defeated Aryna at Indian Wells. I can see why Julia wants to be like Elena.

My unaborted daughter Julia’s hero is professional tennis player Elena Rybakina. This weekend Julia and I watched Elena trounce Iga Swiatek and Aryna Sabalenka to win the championship at Indian Wells. According to Julia, Iga and Aryna are the world’s #1 and #2 ranked players, so this was quite an achievement.

Elena was

My unaborted daughter Julia has a Z on her tennis racket, watches Maria Sharapova videos all day, and speaks with a fake Russian accent. It’s probably just a phase she’ll grow out of. I’m not worried about it.

In Gary’s defense, it’s really the United States government that owes me child support because I was bullied into giving birth to my daughter against my will. I wanted an abortion.

I am a young single mother from the state of Iowa.

I gave birth to my unaborted daughter Julia shortly after I lost my high-paying job because of the COVID-19 pandemnic. I was in financial straits and demanded child support payments from Gary, Julia’s father, as was my right.

Immediately Gary denied fathering Julia and

I have learned to avoid men who have Ukrainian flags in their profiles. They are insensitive boors who care nothing for obtaining financial reparations for us single mothers who were denied our right to an abortion. When you try to explain that the economic injustice of being denied an abortion only increases as the

I buy wine on credit. I know wine is technically a luxury but my life as a young single mother is very stressful.

I am grateful to the Grammys for having the courage not to invite Ukrainian President Zelenskyy. Zelenskyy appeared at the Golden Globes to extort more U.S. tax funds and I was so angry I poured my wine down the kitchen sink. The show was ruined.

Not really. During the latest Speaker of the House election Lauren Boebert demanded a price for her vote and sat quietly until her price was met. No histrionics. Just a firm demand followed by implacable silence.  The exact opposite of the Squad.

What’s sad is these histrionics are all the Squad has left to differentiate themselves from the soppy mass of milquetoasts in the Congressional Progressive Caucus. Jimmy Dore and Glenn Greenwald have long since dispelled any illusions about the Squad.

Awesome. I mean, sure, AOC no longer has much to say about Medicare For All, stopping deportations, Green New Deal, minimum wage, or any of the other progressive policies she championed as a candidate in 2018, but when there’s an opportunity to deliver an angry accusation of racism against Republicans, she is there
