Yawn, another GOP candidate is a lying hypocrite

Paul Pelosi, 82, a wealthy San Francisco real estate investor and husband of U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, is paying a price for driving impaired and injuring another driver. Pelosi crashed his late-model Porsche into an SUV while driving after dark in California’s wine country on May 28, 2[...]
Ban abortions or the sewer gets it!
No abortion enforcement, no flood control money. That’s the position of Louisiana attorney general Jeff Landry, a sanctimonious Republican anti-abortion zealot who’s flipping the (mostly black) citizens of New Orleans a big bird because their city government asked local law enforcers to [...]
