THE SCIENCE IS SETTLED: It’s Official: Men are treated worse than dogs.
NORTH KOREA ACCUSES NATO SECRETARY GENERAL OF “APING TRUMP”: How racist. How politically incorrect. From a hereditary Communist no less. Will Chuck Schumer and Black Lives Matter and Debbie Wasserman-Schultz and The New York Times and who-the-heck-ever in the Left Establishment demand an immediate retraction from Pyongyang? Of course not. So what is this? This is another indication that Trump has rattled Rocket Man.
WAR ON MEN: Michelle Obama says men are ‘entitled,’ ‘self-righteous’ because women protect them too much.
