Green New Deal supporters boycott rally because Jews
I’ve always said the environmental extremists were watermelons, green on the outside and red all the way through, but I didn’t know they wouldn’t join in a rally if Jews were allowed there.
But it just confirms their hateful ideology.
See, I told you it was the parking lots
Why is Paul never around when I’m proven right?
You wouldn’t think a Harris Teeter parking lot would be a dangerous place, but it was fortunate that the intended victim was armed there.
Economists often describe money as having three distinctive characteristics, or functions. Money is:
I prefer a different typology in which money has three powers:
Chaos following “Regime Change” in Libya
The people in Libya were far better off with Gadhafi than with the lunatics and monsters he kept under control.
But you can’t tell that to arrogant elites who don’t listen to the deplorables who try to warn them
Short answer: Yes.
This sort of thing angers me more than I can say. You can’t teach religion in public schools because that would violate the separation of church and state, but apparently you can use churches to engage in electioneering. IF you are a Democrat.

WSJ Cost of Biden’s Climate Promises
Near net zero emissions for the US would cost $45,000 per year for family of four, mostly embedded in the cost of necessities and have almost no benefits.
Virtue signaling is expensive, but the MSM doesn’t report it.
