HUGE: Challenger O’Connor Defeats BLM Pittsburgh Mayor in Democratic Primary

Generally speaking, I’m against “common sense” Democrats. As a conservative, I want to see the Democratic Party destroy itself by embracing the most extreme ideas of the progressive fringe. From that perspective, Corey O’Connor’s victory in Tuesday’s Democratic primary for mayor of Pittsburgh is actually bad news, because the guy he was running against, incumbent […]

This particular clinic was known for in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment, and the thought occurred to me that perhaps the bomber was a Catholic extremist (because the Catholic Church […]

FMJRA 2.0: Hanging In There

— compiled by Wombat-socho Not as good a week as last week, but we’ll take it. Lost two of our three games against the Twins, one when Bob Johnson blew a 4-3 lead in the ninth inning and the other when our hitters just couldn’t get it done against Jim Barr. Our sole win, oddly […]
