Filed Under Current Events, Politics, Science & Nature | Leave a Comment

Al Gore reminded the attendees at the World Economic Forum meeting in Davos, Switzerland (seems like they’d at least pick someplace hot so this would be an easier sell — it’s 28 degrees in Davos right now) that “climate change” is much worse than he initially feared.

The Dumbing Down of America

Filed Under Current Events, Politics | Leave a Comment

Actress America Ferrera, along with Chelsea and friends, are campaigning for Hillary Clinton. Apparently we’re supposed to vote for Hillary just because she’s a woman. So what? Elena Ceausescu, Valeria Messalina, Typhoid Mary and any number of serial killers were women too. But, as America might say — “what-everrrr“… So, without further adieu, meet the [...]
