1,390 words In what may be the dumbest sex strike in history, American feminists who are aghast that Donald Trump won the election are throwing another collective vaginal tantrum.

1,666 words For whom the gods wish to destroy, they first make mad. That phrase can describe the Biden regime and its pathetic coda, the Harris-Waltz ticket, in a nutshell.
