Palate Cleanser: Men’s Brains vs. Women’s Brains…

Why Would NH Voters Vote Republican at Home and Democrat “Abroad?”
The results of this election do not logically make sense. Let’s start at home. In New Hampshire the reports say the electorate has undergone a change. We are to believe we went from a Democrat-majority State House, State Senate, and Executive Council to a Republican majority in each.
Regression is Still Possible … Enlightenment
Black supremacy is the belief black people are inherently superior to others. From it flows the belief blacks should reign supreme. No decent person supports this idea. The same applies if we substitute white for the word black in the first two sentences of this paragraph.
