It’s easy to be disgusted... especially if you consume corporate media. And unfortunately that includes the corporate conservative media, who would rather allow the DC Media, aka the New York Times and the Washington Post, lead them around by the nose— than even attempt to create and maintain an #AmericaFirst narrative.Recently the corporate conservative media showered FREE publicity on Republican CA Gubernatorial Candidate Bruce ‘the mental patient’ Jenner, AKA a man that wears women’s clothes… yet despite the mountains of free publicity, the Tranny pulled only 6% support in a recent poll of California voters.Jenner had the lowest support among...

#NeverTrump is fading into the sunset… now relegated to a few tassel loafered pockets of resistance….and social media trollers. The Anger babies, if you will... These folks like Ben Shapiro, Bill Kristol, Paul Ryan… believe themselves to be intellectually superior to all of us.

In the U.S. backlash against all things French -- or at least all things with "French" in their names, like the fries, bread, braid and kiss -- how will French itself fare? That question has French teachers everywhere en garde. "Anybody who teaches French is going to be a bit of a Francophile, and we don't want to see our programs suffer," says Janet Landerman, an English and French teacher at Cottonwood High School in Salt Lake County.
