But one man objected to its profane language and depictions of violence and sexual behaviour

The president had a MRI but won't say why.

He had bruises on his hands but wouldn't say why.

He just had an 'annual medical' even though he already had his annual medical.

James Orr as key advisor.

It's not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities. [Cartoon by Jesse Duquette]

When did making kids go hungry become a Christian value?

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

The artist known as Zack Polanski so am astute communicator. His voice is fluffed in a lisp. Glib radicalism of the rampant egomaniac.
