How much of his sausage does a boy have to chop off to get into this college now? There should be a clear statement of this admissions criterion (that the school thinks is so important)

lol. please don’t get mad that I’m laughing at this country. I don’t know what else to do sometimes. it’s hysterical. like the end of Rome.

I’ve died enough inside. I’m done. I will donate for and vote for and even volunteer for Cruz.

But I’m done getting upset at the fall of the American republic.

There is value to this.

One more college has admitted that their standards and integrity match those of Dirkbama and the Hillabeast.

We are in the last days that are described as the days of Noah.

WHere everyone does what in their eyes is right.

Put a different way, the Satanic credo of “Do what you will” is now becoming the norm. The only people who are begin targeted for trouble by fedgov and others are Christians.

WTH? Can someone, anyone, explain this garbage. They're all about women, including guys who think they're women?

Then, there's this gem:

Students who were born female but who now identify as male are not eligible for admission, the college said.

So even if you've go a bona fide vajay-jay, you will be rejected from this "womens'" college?
