Hey instead of the LA cops getting $3.6 billion dollars a year, and also paying out close to $400 million in settlements, here's an idea ...

"In times in which the UN and international law are under direct attack, the role of the Secretary-General is crucial – she or he must be the strongest defender of the UN Charter, the foundation of the international rules-based order.”

Hoping for a woman, finally. Let your gov know it's time!

Supreme Court to hear new case tied to same-sex couples The court will hear a case into whether Colorado can ban a Catholic school from a taxpayer-funded program over admission policies.

It is revolting to force parents, through taxation, to fund schools that would not admit their kids because they are LGBTQ+

Yet here we are

Ok! Now I've gotta look!

Thanks for letting all of us know about it!

Too bad her son is like this.

RIGHT! It's beautiful. She did a series and they are on the High Museum's website. They are all beautiful.

That's even actually good art. (I don't say that lightly.)

The "manly soldiers don't need medicine" crowd has never cracked a history book.

For example, George Washington would never have believed that truly masculine soldiers were in need of inoculation against smallpox to fight the British

My Classmate Prince, the Rock Star What was Prince like in the seventh grade? Already a music prodigy.

Long before superstardom, Prince was an eccentric kid who led the band at Minneapolis Bryant Junior High.

"We all thought the Bryant band’s rendition of 'Shaft' was even better than the original."

Does anybody know if there is an attempt to challenge removals on behalf of US citizen minors who are being deprived of access to their parents? Do legal scholars consider this a constitutional issue that an entire class of citizens have unequal rights in terms of family life?

sarah isgur and brett kavanaugh mugging for the camera together

Brett Kavanaugh officiated Sarah Isgur's wedding and is helping her promote her book, which is all about how good and noble the Supreme Court is. There is no reason to take seriously anything this person says about her very powerful, life-tenured friends. Seriously, have some respect for yourself.
