Male journalist misses the point again. The Republican clown car senator got ‘the wrong game, wrong league & wrong state’ BECAUSE HE NEVER THINKS ABOUT WOMEN. Women’s sports just never crossed his (or his 20-year-old aides’) tiny misogynistic minds. Nor apparently this journalist’s.

I’m not an American, so genuine q: why on earth are frats/sororities referred to as ‘Greek’? Is there anything Greek about them apart from some random letters they think make them appear—educated? Sophisticated? Also, why aren’t they afraid the Greeks will sue for defamation? A slam dunk case surely

The story of Donald Trump's grandfather, the pimp. I guess there's a reason he wished Ghislaine Maxwell, also a pimp, well: family feeling. From nunatsiaq.com/wp-content/u...

Canadians are well aware that America’s boorish and vulgar president is wealthy. Donald Trump received a head start in life with money from his father, a real estate developer in New York who bent the rules and skirted legalities while amassing the wealth that he left to his children. Fred Trump set up trust accounts for his five children, of which Donald Trump was the fourth. By the age of three, he was earning the equivalent of US$200,000 per year in today’s dollars, or about C$276,000. At the time he graduated from college, he was receiving about US$1 million annually (C$1.38 million). By some estimates, he received over US$400 million (C$553 million) from his father. Most of this is well known. Less well known are the northern Canadian roots to the family’s fortune. In Kallstadt, Germany, in 1885, Donald Trump’s
grandfather, Friederich Trump, was 16 years old and didn’t like the thought of working in the family vineyard or as a barber, a job for which he was being trained. So he left a note for his widowed mother and left home one night. He wanted to be rich and headed for Manhattan, eventually becoming an American citizen. He moved on to Seattle, where he changed his first name to the more American-sounding
Frederick and where he thought the easiest money would be made in the red-light district, known as the Lava Beds. He leased a restaurant, the Poodle Dog, and renamed it the Dairy Restaurant. It had a dining area and a bar, and it advertised “private rooms for ladies.” This was thinly-disguised code for the availability of prostitutes. In 1894, he was attracted to an area north of the city named Monte Cristo. He filed a bogus mining claim there and built a cheap hotel that offered food,
drink and women. Three years later, in 1897, he saw newspaper headlines claiming that gold had been discovered in the far North.
He sold his eatery and headed there. The following year, in Bennett, B.C., just south of the Yukon border, he opened a business called the
Arctic Re…
