Let’s zoom out and recognize what is happening in Washington right now. The people who already possess an absolutely obscene share of the planet’s wealth, and whose share grows greater year after year—at last count, eight men own as much as half the world—are determined to grab still more. The key figures populating Donald Trump’s cabinet are not only ultra-rich—they …

While the liberals, celebrities, and crybabies alike have turned Donald Trump’s election into a war on women, they remain silent on the real issues. President Obama continues to take away our rights and wage war on foreign nations, all without discourse from his celebrity fan base.
