Years back I worked as a consultant for one of the US Auto Mfgs. I needed to inspect a truck and the driver worked at a slaughter house up in north central PA. I get there to inspect the truck and about every minute I hear Moooo and it stopped. Moooo and it stopped. It was creepy hearing that Mooo knowing what was going on in ear shot.
I finished that inspection in about 10 minutes flat and I was gone.
I get home about 3 hours later and my sweet wife cooked steak for dinner...........Moooo

Somewhere, here?, I read where a city father visited a farm with his preteeens who were totally awed by a bunch of piglets. They also loved the pork sausages from the farm's store.

The Age of Gender Fluidity ... that has a nice ring to it, don'cha think ...
The problem schools face is that they can't prevent sex discrimination unless they can say with certainty what sex is. And in an age of gender fluidity, the word is hard to define. This year the agencies told schools to interpret "sex" as a psychological condition, an "internal sense of gender," rather than an anatomical one.

This is nonsense. This is just one momentary set of thoughts from the elite that run this country. I will grant that we need to treat children with issue of how they present their gender with care, but that doesn't mean presenting an unclear message to children. Children take things literally and we need to deal with that. Our sex experts are mostly wrong. Remember John Money and his effort to change a child's sexuality. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Money
In a century we will look at this generations ideas and laugh, but unfortunately those who have to deal with the results of our experts can't laugh.

Hillary's disastrous puppet show - We won last night|Make America Great Again

Trump is somewhat correct here, since the Democratic party supported globalization, but both parties support globalization. I don't know about open borders but the donors of both parties want cheaper immigrant labor. I live in rural MN and the food processing plants hire immigrants, mostly Mexicans here but it can be any nationality. I doubt they are run only by Democrats.
Hillary may be in the pocket of Wall Street but the GOP supports a less regulated financial industry.
