The Claudine Gay affair reminds me that we need a reckoning on how the "intersectionality" project is going. The idea was that after centuries of being kept down by racism and sexism -- although that didn't seem to hurt accomplished black women like Barbara Jordan, Condi Rice, Jessye Norman, Zora ...
Democrats have three paths to victory next November, all being eagerly embraced by Republicans. PLAN A: Enrage Republicans by bringing a string of ludicrous indictments, civil suits and ballot disqualifications against Donald Trump, thus tricking the GOP into making him the nominee. RESULT: Joe ...
The media are trying to pick the GOP nominee for us just like they did with John McCain. (Remember how great that worked out?) Once again, their pick is the whiny warmonger -- this time, Nikki Haley. No wall and guaranteed to lose! What's not to like? (Democrats: Please! Anyone but Gov. Ron ...
