But detained women consistently manage to get the funds to survive and sometimes even to escape. So how are women getting that money? I tried to answer that very question. For al...

It is an extreme form of germophobia that tries to pretend it is healthy instead of a pathology (which is what germophobia has been for centuries – and I say it as a former child germophobe although probably a lite version of Sheldon Cooper). It envisions an ideal world where people never meet let alone touch each other.

During the Nazi sweep eastward, German soldiers encountered Russian troops armed with SVT-38s and SVT-40, early semi-automatic rifles fielded by the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Though i...

The first is the market’s growing concern about a vicious second wave in the pandemic not only in the United States but also in Europe.

Judging by the renewed spike in COVID-19 infections and by the stock market's recent swoon, it would seem that the gods have decided to rain ...

Democrat abortion extremism; they're for abortion for any reason at any time
trinko, Conversations about the obvious - 14 hours ago
Democrats have fought against laws that would have prevented abortions based on race, sex, or disability. That means that Democrat politicians support a woman's "right" to kill her unborn daughter because she wants a boy. It also means that they support killing unborn babies who might be "defective". In 2012 House Democrat the vast majority of Democrats opposed a law that would have prohibited abortions based on the father's race or the unborn child's sex. Joe Biden used to oppose using taxpayer dollars to support elective abortions but he's all for taxing you to pay for women's...

Joe says he believes in science but that's clearly not true because if he did he'd know that even if they're taking drugs biological men are stronger, faster, and have better endurance than women do. That's why when so so male athletes declare themselves to be women they suddenly start setting records. Allowing biological men to compete in women's sports is amazingly anti-women because not only does it make it hard if not impossible for women to win in women's sports it essentially denies ...
