    From NORML Political Ratings Well I wouldn’t be dismayed by that Mike Pence has a NORML rating of -20. The lowest you can get is -30. So Pence is just another Fer.

  • Losing The Youth

    The Republican Party has lost the youth. Pollster Frank Luntz hashed out the party’s millennial problem during a session at the RNC earlier this week. “We have lost [millennials],” he told delegates on Tuesday. “It’s not like we are losing. We have lost that generation.” Luntz blamed far-left universities for indoctrinating young people. The police…
