How about more folks noticing how poorly Tesla is run? Service stinks. Self-driving ignores the problem of driver alertness. Competition has arrived and the Tesla moat is receding. Musk as usual is playing games as if he knows what he's doing. Truth be told he doesn't.

How are the playground, library and community center not of value? Your bigotry blinds you to reality.

Credit cards help middle-class families manage everyday expenses and unexpected costs. The Durbin-Marshall Credit Card Mandates could make credit more expensive and harder to access for families who rely on it most. Take action today and Guard Your Card!

The Global Rise of Men Walking Away: Why Society Is PANICKING youtu.be/N2SrPvQK7Xk?si=-dit… via @YouTubea Here’s a simple story. Women don’t need to get married like their moms & grandmoms did. Jobs and schools are now oriented toward them. So many men get short changed. .

An economist would say the net benefits of marriage are declining so fewer men are getting married. That leads to fewer births, which puts a monkey wrench into various societal norms. Who pays ongoing costs when no one is working?

Why are Democrats against girls’ sports? It can hardly be a winning idea among most groups, can it? I think not. Why do women accept this preposterous tilt?

Why do Dems push this strategy? Only if the trans community remains strong. To me that makes little sense. The trans community is trying to do the impossible: One can’t make a silk 👛 out of a sow’s 👂. M’s cannot become F’s. Accept fate. One’s sex at birth is all anyone has!

If your daughter is a natural jock, the transgender cheat to allow born males to compete against her should alarm you. It's unfair & the cheat rises with age. How can a male think he’s winning when he’s essentially cheating? It only worsens sports because it is unsportsmanlike.
