Gloria Steinem doesn’t have her facts straight, but don’t expect the media to call her out on it. On Tuesday, feminist activist Gloria Steinem appeared as a guest on PBS’ Tavis Smiley. During the show, Steinem praised abortion for giving her “my life” and bashed the controversy surrounding Planned Parenthood’s practice of aborted baby parts. She blamed the “attack” on Planned Parenthood on everything from the “ultra-right wing” to “patriarchy” and a “long-term racist system.” Host Tavis Smiley hailed Steinem as a “feminist icon” and “renowned social activist” before asking about her newly published book, My Life on the Road....

Gloria Steinem Blames El Rushbo for Feminism's Failure (Rush Limbaugh Clips)

I guess the Lindsay Clancy trial has put an end to that whole thing about a woman being president. Clancy has become a feminist hero for slaughtering her three children, whose names, in case anyone cares, were Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months. For that brave response to “postpartum depression,” she’s attracted hundreds of female admirers, who stand petulantly outside the courthouse in pink T-shirts, demanding her acquittal. When Muslims pull this crap, blaming their gang rapes on the trauma of being asylum seekers, we’re not as understanding. But when women claim mental anguish from giving birth, we’re...

Those who adhere to a strict "don't speak ill of the recently deceased" protocol will want to sit this one out, because your boy here is gonna unload. One of the most execrable figures to emerge from the counterculture movement of the 1960s has passed away. Feminist icon Gloria Steinem died on Wednesday at the age of 92. There is no denying that Steinem was a powerful force in American culture and that her legacy will live on. The perspective on whether any of that is good or bad exists on either side of a very wide ideological divide. The...

When Oklahoma inmate Steve Wilbanks spoke to a reporter by phone in late July, it had been six weeks since he worked in a prison call center, placing calls on behalf of insurance companies attempting to poach business from competitors and making political calls as primary elections were underway across the country. “I had good numbers,” Wilbanks, who is incarcerated at the James Crabtree Correctional Center in Helena, said. “I was a producer.” Wilbanks was one of four inmates who spoke with reporters about the call center work. Contracts obtained via an open records request confirm that a company called...

Ok look. I have been a daily devotee and frequent supporter of this once-wonderful site for years. Since 1998 FR has had an open tab on all of my desktops for frequent, hourly, reads and commenting. But. My personal visits are down to a few times a week because life changes and i don't get to my desk too often, and this site has become largely unreadable on cell phone screens. It gives me a headache trying to read articles and comments. I believe many others have this opinion and experience. Daily Views are way down and God bless you...

Telling the internet world not to do something is the surest way that they will end up doing something.

In the heart of Lower Manhattan, a 60-story glass skyscraper has been sitting abandoned and unfinished for years. It overlooks the East River. It leans three inches to the north. Glass panels have fallen off its facade. And nobody — not the developer, not the lenders, not the courts — can agree on how to fix it. This is 161 Maiden Lane. New York City's very own Leaning Tower. A $600M luxury skyscraper that was supposed to sell 80 waterfront condos for up to $18 million each. Instead, it became one of the most expensive construction disasters in American history...

U.S. — New poll numbers released this week showed Lindsay Clancy surging into the frontrunner position in the race to become the 2028 Democratic presidential nominee. Clancy garnered overwhelming support from Democratic women and continued to make gains among men who hate children and wish they were dead. "Clancy 2028! Wooo!" shouted supporters outside the courthouse where Clancy was awaiting the verdict on her triple homicide case. "No one gets us better than Lindsay. Who better to fight for women's rights than a woman who stared down the system that wanted to punish her for murdering three children? She...

The 80-year-old junior senator from Massachusetts is facing a primary challenge from a representative who wasn’t alive when he was first elected to Congress. Recent surveys show the senator with a 15-to-35-point lead.

DeSantis does it again. On Monday, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis did something no other governor has done. He tore down all the Flock cameras on the highways. [DeSantis] told interviewer Eric Bolling that state agencies would take down the units they control and that 'we're going to clear the state right-of-ways.' The governor estimated that the large majority of Florida's roughly 7,500 license-plate readers sit on local rather than state roads. The memo applies only to devices in the right-of-way of the State Highway System. It does not cover cameras on county or city roads, private property or other types...

The disconnect between American blacks and Africa is profound, and it stunts their cultural development. A powerful strand of American black culture romanticizes Africa as an ancestral homeland, even though Africans themselves played an indispensable role in selling other Africans into slavery. At the same time, many African immigrants look with disdain on the ghetto culture that developed in parts of black America during the second half of the 20th century. And then there is the strangest irony of all: While some Africans reject that culture, others eagerly imitate it. There’s a lot to unpack here. The Atlantic slave trade...
