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…
All but 28 Democrats in the House voted against fast tracking the TPP. All but 50 Republicans voted for it. Fast track (known as Trade Promotion Authority) passed 218-210.

Let’s forget for a moment all of Hillary’s varying positions, her record, her emails, everything. To be fair, let’s also forget Trump’s bombast and hyperbole.

However, there is a deafening silence from feminists and women’s advocates about…
In one of the greatest ironies in history, Barack Obama holds the Nobel Peace Prize. Since securing the honor, Obama has provided more weapons of death and destruction to the world than has any president since World War 2.
