The Humane Society Legislative Fund recently endorsed Hillary Clinton. Their justification for supporting one of the world’s biggest enemies of animals was predicated upon Donald Trump’s serial killer sons and the backgrounds of several of his advisers. That his sons are despicable human beings is a given. But both Hillary and Trump support hunting. And…
The only Democrat in the last century who did not bomb anyone was Jimmy Carter.* The Democrats have been a war party since Woodrow Wilson, a hundred years ago.
