A (formerly) Far East located web site devoted to The Resistance, discussion of all things political, travel, women, golf, women,adventure, and did I mention women?
I have an acquaintance who writes a blog that is useful for little in terms of gaining knowledge but does provide helpful insight into how closed the minds of Trump supporters are and how utterly disturbed the conservative minds are. I consider myself to have some unique insight here, as I was
On Wednesday, Senator JD Vance of Ohio accused Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota of quitting the Army National Guard two decades ago to avoid being deployed to Iraq. It is worth remembering that JD Vance did one enlistment in the Marine Corps and then left the service. On the other
