26d ago19:00

19:00

Why do some “men” marry the kind of women Dr. Laura has described as “hit women”? These wives put a wedge between the son and his family, even when it’s not warranted.

2M ago21:08

21:08

Gallup recently conducted a poll on trust in media, and trust is at a 50 year low. Those results are positive in my opinion. Apparently, some people are starting to wake up to the reality that those we’re supposed to trust to bring us “news” cannot, in fact, be trusted. If one bit of good came out of the Covid pandemic, it might be that people have…

Freya India is a wonderful writer out of the UK. I believe she’s probably in her 30’s based on the issues she writes about so beautifully.

It’s come to light that Elon Musk has now produced a 13th child, with the fourth or fifth woman.

A lot of liberals are trolling conservatives and making fun of this…

I’ve noticed a lot of gnashing of teeth among people who are being purged as a result of what Elon Musk is doing with DOGE. I’m used to the private sector, where the boss can have a bad day and you’re out the door. No one should have a job they can’t lose, especially an inefficient government worker, and if you happen to be a government worker who …

#412 What we learned from the RFK Jr. hearing 14:24

4M ago14:24

14:24

What I learned from watching the RFK Junior hearing in the Senate was that the Senators want to keep the status quo. They’re not interested in anybody who’s asking legitimate questions about the health of Americans and why it’s so poor. They don’t want to talk about nutrition. They don’t want to talk about vaccines and whether or not they’re safe a…

#411 Trump’s back in! Yay! A word of caution… 13:36

4M ago13:36

13:36

I’m very excited to see Trump back, but we cannot get complacent. All of our problems aren’t going to be solved during his Presidency. We need to remember that, hold Trump and his cabinet accountable, and give everything to God. Our problems are spiritual not political. So while I do expect Trump to do a much better job for America than Kamala woul…

Nevada Governor Lombardo gave his state of the state speech last night in Nevada, where he outlined his objectives for the next legislative session, which begins here in a couple of weeks.

5M ago22:27

22:27

This USA columnist thinks life is a rom-com, and is looking for a date at 37. It’s not my intention to attack her, and I’m sure she’s a very nice girl, but her column is representative of the views of many young women these days, who have “lists of requirements” in a man, without considering what MEN want or what SHE might bring to a relationship, …
