But meanwhile, just to keep my hatred of the Right in check, we also have a great display of Lefty governance in Philadelphia - piling mounts of garbage and shootouts that would put warlords in Afghanistan to shame. Philly is following in the footsteps of Detroit and Baltimore.

This hits home so hard. Reservations are also the single most important reason why brain drain from India is unlikely to stop. Were it not for reservations, India would be a developed country right now. Instead, the socialists put it on a path of perpetual mediocrity.

One of the most important lessons to learn from India’s affirmative action policies over the last couple of hundred years is that if you create a system that tries to level the playing field with policies that reward marginalization, people are incentivized to identify as.

I don’t think a bigger scumbag has ever been appointed to such high office in the history of US. It’s such a shameful period for the country and utterly tragic that so many Americans have turned their backs on science. No amount of ignorance or previous policy failure (which I.

Honestly, being an Islamist and a Communist was enough for me to not want @ZohranKMamdani in office. He is from Africa. And you can tell in the way he eats. Disgusting. My dogs are cleaner and more civilized when they eat than little Muhammad.
