Trump’s sons have recently invested in dozens of defense companies. Those companies have now raked in a staggering $6 BILLION in current or future government contracts. Corruption? Or coincidence? You be the judge.

Karoline Leavitt joined Fox because lying comes so natural to her, she wears a cross around her neck, she’s blonde and married to a billionaire. The poster girl for White Christian Nationalism. She’s already popular with conservatives who admired her deception skills at the White House.

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

1) Power will find a way to dominate-- and find any reason to justify itself--- including claims that women are weaker, or that women are powerful and must be controlled. 2) What keeps most women confined isn't discussing biological differences. It's the threat of male violence and poverty.
