FDA Doesn’t Think Women Taking Abortion Pills Deserve Safe Health Care. I Do.
As a woman who carries the scars of having a chemical abortion all alone without anyone by my side, I was obviously disappointed that the Food and Drug Administration managed to avoid accountability last month at the U.S. Supreme Court for its reckless disregard for women’s health. But I am very pleased to learn that it’s not… -

As the Democrats struggle among themselves over President Joe Biden’s declining mental state and his declining poll numbers, it did not have to end up at this impasse.

The Media Lied to You
Lying is certainly nothing new in politics. It is said that prostitution is the world’s oldest profession, but politics is assuredly the dirtiest—filthier even than garbageman, mortician or, well, the world’s oldest profession itself. Former President Bill Clinton (while we’re on the topic of sexual promiscuity) perjured himself, leading to his impeachment. Former President Barack… -
