The plane, which is believed to have been flying from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur, was travelling at an altitude of 10km (6.2 miles) when it was shot down, Russia’s Interfax reported.

Another nativist and white supremacist who hates brown people.  Hopefully the good people of Iowa will throw this bigot out of office come next election.  And maybe even replace him with a child from, say, Guatemala.  As a show of cosmopolitanism! Failure you to do so, let me remind you, will brand you Iowans as backwood corn-fed country hicks.  And that’s a helluva lot worse than having to wait extra

And that’s just public share of the debt. Meh. Don’t sweat it.  If Paul Krugman is still alive in 23-years, he’s got one of them however-many-trillion-dollar-platinum coins he can lend us to pay off our debts and keep the bread and circuses going.

Turning a violent patriarchal god into a warmongering woman? Why, that’s misogynist and microaggressive! Unless it was done through transgendering, the operation and therapy paid for by a compassionate, enlightened Odin. In which case, never mind. …or Turning a violent masculine god into a capable women warrior goddess? That’s the kind of empowerment that may take the graphic novel and comic book form away from boy-centric adolescent war porn into

We live in a dictatorship, folks.  Or something that most certainly isn’t a representative, constitutional republic any longer.  Breitbart: Breitbart Texas recently reported on the release of 36,000 convicted criminal illegal immigrants, including almost 200 murderers, who were released back into the U.S. by immigration officials in 2013. The figures were outlined in a report by the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS). Breitbart Texas subsequently reached out to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) offices around the country, in
