Replacing the breeding stock regularly with younger animals–of course that’s a fundamental precept for would-be patriarchs.

I’d guess that rather than worrying about the feelings of people of other religions, the Foxites would be more likely to criticize the Starbucks cups on the basis of _'the cups let gays, illegals, BLM members, tree-huggers, and godless Democrats walk around pretending to be Decent Christian Americans_.’ Or something similarly ugly. (The Foxites do _not_ do ‘tolerance.’) ---

That complaint from Palin is actually a delicious confession to we RCV advocates. “RCV is keeping the crazies from winning.” ---

I see your point. Patriarchy expresses itself many ways. I meant, biologically, men have always preferred younger women. ---

I’m a huge supporter of RCV, but in this particular case it didn’t change the outcome. With two Republicans and one Democrat in the race, if not for RCV Palin would have lost by an even larger margin. ---

Anti-woke bank goes bankrupt. GloriFi Bank, started by Individual 1 supporter Peter Thiel and Mike Pence ex-aide Nick Ayers, among others, was created because they claim that Wall Street is too liberal. They made credit cards out of shell casings, discounts on home insurance to gun owners, and assistance in legal fees if gun owners shot somebody. But checking accounts will be shut down tomorrow, and savings accounts will be shut down on December 6. > **[Texas 'Anti-Woke' Bank Goes Bust In 3 Months](https://www.huffpost.com/entry/anti-woke-bank-closes-3-months-peter-thiel-toby-neugebauer_n_638006b4e4b06ef4a542ab6d)** > > It was supposed to be a bank that touted and supported capitalism, family, law enforcement and the love of God and country.
