In March of that year, I turned eighteen; ten days later, I registered with selective service—conscription ended in 1973, and naively I registered as an independent voter. I remember the sense of power I felt. I could join the military...

GOP congressman says pre-K education isn't needed because stay-at-home parents are still a thing

It’s safe to say that Rep. Glenn Grothman (R-Wisconsin) is not the brightest bulb on the marquee. While a member of the Wisconsin state Senate, Grothman proposed putting an end to weekends, said sex education could turn kids gay, once issued a press release titled “Why Must We Still Hear About...

VA-Gov: GOP's Leading Candidate For Governor Says Derek Chauvin Verdict Makes Her “Sick”

Friendly reminder, there’s a big Governor’s race in Virginia this year: Virginia Republican state Sen.

After a jury found Chauvin guilty of killing...

As the Rate of Vaccinations Peaks, Biden Pushes for Employee Incentives

BWAHAHAHAHA … a wide open GOP in 2024 and Chris Christie is serious about… running

If the previous guy doesn’t run, the 2024 POTUS field seems “wide-open” with dark horses, stalking horses, mudders, and nags. With a seven figure advance, the Pence memoir is going to need a lot of bulk purchasers. And we know how reliable John Bolton’s thinking has been. John Bolton, Donald...
