MACDONALD: Why Isn’t Woke Wu Holding a Prostate Pride Event?

Steve MacDonald — Sun, 07 Jun 2026 18:00:00 +0000

People who claim they don’t like it when other people have guns should not be allowed to use the tax dollars of people they disarm to pay for armed guards. I don’t know; that just seems like a reasonable request to me. Pay for it yourself. I mean, if you are such a gift to ... Read more

Steve MacDonald — Sun, 07 Jun 2026 11:00:00 +0000

Two recent themes just collided in what passes for my headspace and blog-space. New York, which attracts attention because I lived there for the younger part of my life.
