From 2013 to 2022, she was the editor of The New York Times Book Review, where her role expanded to oversee all New York Times book coverage including the staff critics and publishing news.
Who is Pamela Paul anyway?
Does she outrank Paul of Tarsus ?
I consider Marxism a religion, so this New York Times Marxist can go to hell.
The unashamed Christian nationalists who wrote the Constitutions ended by writing:
“...done in Convention by the Unanimous Consent of the States present the Seventeenth Day of September in the Year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and Eighty seven and of the Independance of the United States of America...”
the year of our Lord???
