On another note, a question for fish: are you a Russian agent? Yes or no.
Quite clearly no!!
I was identified a few years ago as an agent of global capitalism by my chief nemesis known only by the code name “Sphere” I was dispatched by the Koch Brothers to harass and torment Agent Sphere in his well earned retirement where he was masking his prior life by posing as the publisher of local tourist trade ….ahem…”magazine”.
Whatever I do these days re: my old life as an agent is done strictly as a hobby.

It sure looks like the socialist left, you know the frischy set, are the real racist haters –
In recent days, Democratic National Committee and several high-profile progressive advocacy groups have pulled their support in response to Mallory’s defense of anti-semite and racist Nation of Islam head Louis Farrakhan in an interview with The View on Monday.
“I didn’t call him the greatest of all time because of his rhetoric. I called him the greatest of all time because of what he’s done in black communities,” the embattled organizer replied when asked about her describing Farrakhan as the “GOAT,” an acronym for the “Greatest of all Time.”
In a Friday opinion-editorial, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) announced that she can no longer support the Women’s March on Washington due to its leadership’s refusal to “repudiate anti-Semitism and all forms of bigotry.”

Since moi is the only one to pick up on the Gillette commercial, I will venture forth undeterred.

If there was ever an agrument for the patriarchy, the Gillette commercial is exhibit one.
The breakup of the nuclear family in our society is the source of many a societal ill. Where are the Dads to deliver the message characterized in the Gillette commercial?

I did not find the commercial controversial as some have, in and of itself. With that said, the Toxic Masculinity mantra by some SJWs and the ensuing War on Boys is indeed controversial, as well it should be.

Just another socialist front group –
This new steering committee is made up of “32 women from a wide range of backgrounds…made up of visionary women — cis and trans, straight and queer, disabled and non-disabled, white (not capitalized), Asian, and South Asian, Black, Latina, Arab, Indigenous, Jewish, Muslim, Sikh, Christian (all capitalized), spanning the ages of 24-70.”
Despite what appears to be an attempt to add “Jewish” to the list of identities the Women’s March now claims to represent, the statement does not address the substantive criticisms that have been made about anti-Semitism.
The first person and photo presented as part of the new steering committee is that of Abby Stein, described as follows:
“A Jewish educator, writer, speaker, and activist. She was born and raised in a Hasidic family of rabbinic descent; she is (among) the 10th generation of (descendants of the ) Baal Shem Tov — founder of Hasidic Judaism…in 2012, she left the Hasidic world to explore different worldviews. In 2015, Abby came out as a woman of trans experience. Since coming out, she has been working to raise support and awareness for trans rights and those leaving Ultra-Orthodoxy.”
Thus, the first member of the steering committee is Jewish, but has left Judaism behind. And, she is trans. (In some circles, there is still controversy around whether being trans constitutes a feminist statement.)

An interesting statistic I learned from a spokesperson from the National Park Service today at the film festival – 85% of National Park users are self described liberals. Why do you people hate nature and seek to destroy it (especially if you can make a buck in the process)? I know even the term Wild and Scenic is anathema to you. I think it boils down to greed.
