Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg doesn't downplay or up play that he's openly gay. There's no need to.

SHARE Saturday, March 14, 2015 Nothing New in the Ape Crack about Michelle Obama
Silly, sick, demeaning cracks made by such as the canned Univision host Rodner Figueroa likening First Lady Michelle Obama to a Planet of the Apes character are not new.

Ferguson will hold municipal elections April 7. The mayor and five of the six city councilpersons are white. Three are up for reelection.

Two things happened within the space of 24 hours that tell much about why expectant House Speaker California Democrat Nancy Pelosi must go. The first were her words. Even before the final 2018 mid-term election results were in confirming the Democrat's retake of the House, Pelosi was offering soothing salve to the GOP. She promised a return to bi-partisan deals with the it.

It was a surprise and no surprise when Special Counsel Robert Mueller announced indictments of 13 Russian nationals in the 2016 presidential election meddling probe. The surprise was Mueller's fingering of one of the prime tactics that the shady probably Kremlin controlled Internet Research Agency used to try to tip the election to Trump. This was to massage,
SHARE Friday, February 6, 2009 Octuplet Mom Reinforced Single Mother Stigma
In her NBC interview Octuplet mom Nadya Suleman was irked at getting pounded for being a single mother with fourteen kids. Or in her words, "it's not as controversial because they're couples so its more acceptable." She had good reason to be irked, but she should be irked at herself too for doing much to reinforce that stigma.

There has never been a single moment before, during, and now especially after, the election of #45 Trump that the call for his impeachment hasn't been loudly screamed.
