Only the parents of children can see (and therefore act on) the future. Those of us fortunate to have grandchildren can see even farther (further?).
Unmarried, childless, overeducated, white women of the West are the 5th Horseman of the Apocalypse. If you need to ask, they’re the ones holding the basket that merrily takes us to hell.
Want to know why Biden got elected, and Trudeau got elected up here… and why we’re under water on every parameter you can think of, look no further than that!
I don't think their failures necessarily have anything to do with their gender (though the modes of their failures do); rather it is their lack of faith in God.
2 Thessalonians 2:11-12: "Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false, in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness."
That is the best explanation I have found for why so many people, men and women, are bonkers. Which should give us all pause. Being angry at crazy people is not a good strategy for staying sane yourself.
The common denominator is the job rather than the gender. Politicians by nature are generally self-serving corrupt individuals. For every Ronald Reagan, there are 10 Barack Obama‘s. For every Margaret Thatcher, there are 10 Hillary Clinton’s.
Begging Trump for a cabinet post? More like demanding a place at the feeding trough. There is not enough humility in her or the other candidates to ask or beg for anything. "The leech has two daughters: Give and Give." (Proverbs 30:15)
Don?? WRONG!! I have always supervised the people I have slept with- it could be no other way... Now as far as who was subordinate, that's a personal question.
Your discussion above reveals one thing to be clearly true men and women are just alike, they both can engage in gobs of fraud and personal enrichment if given the chance. This is a good reason to know who you are voting into office and why. Maybe a guy who is constantly confused and whose family has some 30 international shell corporations and yet no discernible international business is not the guy you want running your country? Just a nascent idea. Maybe a guy with a15-year long record of holding onto secret records in his garage in a house were his unsupervised drug addled son lives who is constantly looking for ways to make money is not...a good idea. And maybe a guy who makes the way Pinocchio walks look coordinated is not up to another four years in office...
Just some random thoughts, here... and maybe the president should not recite the alphabet by saying L,G,B,T,Q, plus and,
An equally-curmudgeonly friend has maintained for over thirty years that giving women the vote was the worst mistake the United States has ever made. When I reflect on the vote differential in the 2020 presidential race (53% Biden, 42% Trump), and watch the little girl rats follow the Pied Piper of Swift over the Democrat cliff, I sometimes wonder if he's right. The differences are even higher for single women, and given that 45% of women are projected to be single and childless six years from now, maybe we should review that 19th Amendment.
If you’ll recall, the devil in the Garden of Eden targeted Eve, not Adam. And all he had to do was convince her that she was “less than”, (in this case God Himself), and, well, the rest is ALL of History.
That scene in the Garden pretty much sums up the entire modus operandi of the “Woman’s Movement” in a nutshell.
Chickenman was an American radio series created by Dick Orkin that spoofs comic book heroes, inspired by the mid-1960s Batman TV series. The series was created in 1966 on a Chicago radio station WCFL, and was then syndicated widely, notably on Armed Forces Radio during the Vietnam War. Wikipedia
Thx for the memory, Don. Remind us sometime about Gary Burbank.
But back to the women- its by and large more a character issue than a gender. How many men have earned the stature of Maggie Thatcher (who topped the list of Real Men in Real Men Don’t Eat Quiche) or Jeane Kirkpatrick?
Ft. Wayne voted in Pete (won’t even try to spell last name) & his husband.
Nikki- doesn’t she come from the state that keeps giving us Lindsey Graham? (Jury’s out on his gender. Whenever it’s settled, he won’t have to change his name [from Mrs. McCain])
But, to come out of the closet, I eat & enjoy quiche. Whenever my wife let’s me have it.
Two issues here, I think: (1) Anyone who has worked in an environment that is highly female knows this. Women don't even want to work for other women. (2) The type of people who go for these jobs as Ds are chosen for other values than competency or morality. Add that to power corrupts and the total lack of accountability when you own the press, and see what we got.
I'm not claiming on the second part men are any better. Corruption is a human, not a sex specific problem. But when half of the human race is told they are super-duper special because of their genitals....
Nice job. You pretty much prepared us for Mike Obama as president. Something to look forward to. On the bright side, they might nail her for something like, killing a chef.
Second comment for the day not that I'm competitive, nor do I keep count of everything. I'm watching Fox News again on mute not only is it hilarious as a 24/7 ad for Trump, but as a 75-year-old widower was still a little bit of testosterone running through me I have to say those are babes on Fox foxy babes and smart like Jessica tarlov. I finished my first cup of coffee, the cat is still purring on my lap especially if I take time to brush her, and I'm still greatly enjoying Don's mental health support group. Thank you for being here. Later Gators and sometime I will update you on why I love Gators especially Al from the Okie pinocchi swamp.

To generalize a bit, because that's how you come up with ways to understand most of the world, corruption in politics is as old as politics.
Politicians are generally mostly salesmen. And salesmen generally have a certain psychological profile.
As far as women in sales being more virtuous than men, uh no.
The problem is that men and women fight differently. Men tend to be more confrontational.
Women tend to be more oblique in their combat techniques. The feminist movement has replaced masculine techniques with feminine techniques over the last several decades, as the Left has installed a lot of "girl bosses". Men, meanwhile, are devalued and denigrated as "toxic". Toxic to who exactly? Men built most of what we know as civilization. Some of these guys were pretty good. So this new model, it's not really working out. I'm all for a strong woman, and you have to judge each individual on their merits, but we don't seem to be generating a Maggie Thatcher or a Golda Meir, we have mostly aging mean sorority girls, upper middle class faux Commie activists, and
thugs. They actually tend to be more totalitarian and vicious than a lot of the bad guys.
I don't think women in government is a bad thing. The quality of the men these days is certainly at least as bad as the women. But I do think that a more emotional approach to solving hard problems doesn't seem to work very well. In fact it's doing a lot of damage. And because hiring women is part of the whole affirmative action trope, we get a lot of low quality people in over their heads.

Any time some politician touts herself as the first elected fill-in-the-blank, an indictment is inevitable.

I’m disappointed more readers don’t see Nikki as Harvard president. Has everyone forgotten how highly Indians are regarded at Harvard?

Women are corruptible too. And contemptible. Sometimes there’s just no explaining and better to ignore but prepare for betrayal.
Don, Correia is a dude. Girly-man, yes, but a dude nonetheless. And Nikki is everything Chris Christie wanted to be.
