Interesting, if also obvious.

I wish the writer had included a sentence or two about the lesbian community specifically, about how around the early 1980s it also became okay for lesbians to have hot and horny sex (or at least, admit it). I thought she was going to get there with the paragraph above about "feminism's third wave". I came out around the end of the second wave and very beginning of the third wave, and it seemed to me that the two communities had very different approaches to what was considered "okay" and "acceptable" sex. Second-wave feminists always seemed very touchy-feely in an emotional way to me, while third-wave feminists were more enthusiastic, like, "let's get it on!" and "all adult, consensual sexual expression is okay and good!"

Hallmark changed their mind and will allow Zola's ad to run.

Read before grabbing that pork chop.....
 

The United States Department of Agriculture touted last week what it calls the "modernization" of rules regulating how swine is processed and inspected, but critics say the changes could lead to more food contamination. It's the first time in more than 50 years that significant changes have been made to pork processing rules, but they've been in the works since 1997. That's when the USDA started a pilot program among select plants to see how changes to processing and inspection rules would play out.

The agency says the changes won't negatively impact food safety, but critics say the rules, which include the option of using fewer federal inspectors on the production line, could lead to contamination from pathogens like Salmonella and E. Coli, and ultimately, more food-borne illnesses.

Trump administration allows pork slaughterhouses to have fewer USDA inspectors
 

The Trump administration will allow pork plants to reduce the number of Department of Agriculture line inspectors assigned to them and run their slaughter lines without any speed limit under a new rule intended to modernize an antiquated inspection system. But the changes have alarmed consumer advocates who believe the rule will make food less safe and endanger workers.

The new rule will let factory workers, rather than USDA inspectors, remove unsuitable carcasses and trim defects in plants that opt into the new inspection system. USDA inspectors will still examine the carcasses, but they will be stationed farther down the line, and off-line inspectors will be roaming the factory to conduct other kinds of safety checks.“This regulatory change allows us to ensure food safety while eliminating outdated rules and allowing for companies to innovate,” Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue said in a statement.

REALLY. are you kidding me! Can you say L E T T U C E! We need MORE regulations and inspection when it comes to managing our food supply not LESS! And as for the fool in the White House, I wonder if he'd feel the same about chicken? We all know his favorite meal is a bucket of KFC......

GOP senator 'disturbed' by McConnell impeachment remark
 

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski, a Republican from Alaska, said she was disturbed to hear Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell say there would be "total coordination" between the White House and the Senate over the upcoming presidential impeachment trial.

“And in fairness, when I heard that I was disturbed,” Murkowski told KTUU Tuesday before saying there should be distance between the White House and the Senate in how the trial is conducted.

Mike Bloomberg exploited prison labor to make 2020 presidential campaign phone calls..
 

(WASHINGTON) — Democratic presidential contender Michael Bloomberg cut ties with a contractor that used prisoners to make calls for his presidential campaign, he said in a statement Tuesday.

The former New York mayor said that his campaign was unaware of the arrangement until a reporter sought comment. Earlier Tuesday, online news site The Intercept reported that Bloomberg’s campaign contracted a New Jersey-based call center company that, in at least one instance, used Oklahoma inmates to make calls on behalf of the billionaire’s campaign.

Hopefully more will follow and take her lead.........

Susan Collins Becomes Second GOP Senator to Question McConnell Over Impeachment Trial.......


WASHINGTON—Maine Sen. Susan Collins has become the second Republican to question the Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s approach to the impeachment trial of President Trump, underscoring how a few GOP defections could upset Mr. McConnell’s control of the highly charged proceedings.

That's two, what will Mitt do?

Aren't Democrats tired of all those false hopes that Susan Collins will actually get a spine. Every time she opens her mouth, lights go on all over the Democrats' world; and then she votes; and the lights go right out.

:goodpost:


Hopefully someday she'll realize that actions speak louder than words........

Or not............:|

And as the saying goes........talk is cheap

Liar Liar pants on fire....


Collins was elected to the Senate in 1996..

Iran's Qassem Soleimani was killed in US raid at Baghdad airport. Iraqi protesters celebrate? What next.

rut row
 

unfortunately they are going to take their revenge out on our armed forces as well as all Americans and prob. devastate Israel. seems Trump was punishing the democrats by not consulting w/ democratic congress in the decision he made on the attack. Soleimani needed to be taken down or out . I'm a bit taken back as to why Trump didn't consult congress or was it an action strike while the Americans had the chance.:blink::blink: God Bless our soldiers and Americans and Israelians.
