Justine Bateman was one of my major celeb crushes back in the days when she played alongside Michael J. Fox on Family Ties. Now a director, she critques liberal meltdowns from a techical standpoint.

Progressives conquered economic policy under Biden. Would they lose it under Harris?

The American Association of University Professors has issued a new policy that supports the mandatory use of

Clearly it has happened, and it has been accelerated and publicized by the Biden failings and the attempted Trump assassination.  But it was already underway.  If you need a single, unambiguous sign of it, I would cite MSNBC pulling off Morning Joe for a morning, for fear they would say something nasty about Trump. Another […]

You guys might like him. I think he's the best political analyst alive - right or left. He backs every position with hard data usually from multiple sources. A decade or two ago, he had almost celebrity status on the Left. That was bc of a book he wrote called The Coming Permanent Democratic majority."

It is rumored that it was their first meeting and they were glued together for 3 days straight. It's also said that Clapton thought Allman was a better guitarist.
