So this women's group wants the secret service to hire less women because... why? I'm not getting how that fixes anything.

The Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District Police Department doesn't have a DEI hiring policy and uh...seems like that didn't somehow automatically create competence and professionalism.

OK I want LESS.

I have been wanting less for a long time. Those things I want LESS of don't seem to be reduced by much since I became eligible to vote. Voting's not enough.

In 2004, Arizona passed a law requiring voters to provide proof of citizenship to vote

Prop 200, the 2004 Arizona law that started all this trouble, was pushed hard by republicans and in particular promoted by the Federation for American Immigration Reform.

The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) is a nonprofit, anti-immigration organizationThe Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) is a nonprofit, anti-immigration organization in the United States. The Southern Poverty Law Center classifies FAIR as a HATE GROUP with ties to WHITE SUPREMACIST groups. FAIR was founded in 1979 by Michigan surgeon and white nationalist John Tanton.[13][14][15] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federation_for_American_Immigration_Reform

So the strange story here is that republicans and white nationalists, in an effort to stop nonwhite people from voting, created this situation in which a large number of white republicans are in fact ineligible to vote, and have been voting illegally for years.

Now that democrats have discovered this issue, white nationalist republicans are trying to blame democrats for the problem that white nationalist republicans created.

Confronted by compelling peer-reviewed scientific evidence of the harms of smoking, the tobacco industry, beginning in the 1950s, used sophisticated public relations approaches to undermine and distort the emerging science.

The industry campaign worked to create a scientific controversy through a program that depended on the creation of industry–academic conflicts of interest. This strategy of producing scientific uncertainty undercut public health efforts and regulatory interventions designed to reduce the harms of smoking.

A number of industries have subsequently followed this approach to disrupting normative science. Claims of scientific uncertainty and lack of proof also lead to the assertion of individual responsibility for industrially produced health risks. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3490543/

These climate alarmists are simply trying to disrupt our God-given prosperity and thwart the inevitable triumph of American commerce. Experts at the ExxonMobil Climate Research Institute assure me there is no actual evidence to suggest climate change is even real.

I had to marry my wife because all my life I had been looking for someone to jam with. I have met some great musicians, many people far more talented than I am, but it was always hard to find someone who I could instantly and easily connect that flow with and rock out together.

When I met my wife and I heard her strum and sing for the first time I knew she was special. I don't know how to describe it but our musics can connect in a very easy and pleasing way. She has many other excellent qualities, and in addition she's hot, but that musical connection is the one essential thing that brought us together. I feel so connected to her, she is my best friend forever and it all started from sharing musical joy together.

I sometimes randomly think of that girl on the bus and wonder where she is and how she's doing.
