Quote of the Day
“Recently, the Democrats have become indelibly identified with highly unpopular and wrong-headed stands on cutting police budgets, reducing penalties for crimes, affirmative action (often at the expense of Asians), permitting men who identify as women to compete in women's sports, and decriminalizing border crossings. They've also become identified with draconian measures on climate change that while attempting to address the genuine threat posed by climate change, threaten the livelihood of workers and farmers whose support is prerequisite to making any meaningful changes in climate policy.”
