Chuck Todd Fumes as His Conflicts
of Interest With Wife's Politics Become Known
{ rickwells.us } ~ Libtard propagandist Chuck Todd doesn’t want to acknowledge that when a man and a woman get married they are treated as a unit, a couple... each connected to the other, emotionally and legally. It’s a simple concept and also one that is prominent in his Jewish faith. He can claim convenient ignorance, but nobody outside of his fellow libtards are buying it. His wife, Kristen Denny Todd, is a libtard Democrat political insider who once earned her living as Senator Jim Webb’s spokesperson in his 2006 Senate campaign. She also worked with Senator Webb during 2014 and 2015 as a campaign strategist, reportedly on an unpaid, volunteer basis when he ran as a candidate for the Democrat nomination that was the property of liar-Hillary Clinton. Chuck Todd apparently likes, when it’s politically expedient to do so, to think of himself and his wife as two separate individuals who just happen to share a home, two kids and a bank account. The US Government treats them as a married couple and the laws applying to married couples, including tax laws, apply to them. That’s a reality that Chuck can’t simply talk away, but there are other instances where he is more than willing to attempt to do so... https://rickwells.us/todd-conflicts-interest-wifes-politics/

Belgium: First Islamic State in Europe?
by Giulio Meotti
{ gatestoneinstitute.org } ~ The French acronym of Belgium's ISLAM Party stands for "Integrity, Solidarity, Liberty, Authenticity, Morality"... The leaders of the ISLAM Party apparently want to turn Belgium into an Islamic State. They call it "Islamist democracy" and have set a target date: 2030. According to the French magazine Causeur, "the program is confusingly simple: replace all the civil and penal codes with sharia law. Period". Created on the eve of the 2012 municipal ballot, the ISLAM Party immediately received impressive results. Its numbers are alarming. The effect of this new party, according to Michaël Privot, an expert on Islam, and Sebastien Boussois, a political scientist, could be the "implosion of the social body". Some Belgian politicians, such as Richard Miller, are now advocating banning the ISLAM Party....

Jaws Perez Defends New Russia Distraction
to Protect liar-nObama/liar-Clintoin Mobsters
{ rickwells.us } ~ DNC Chairman Thomas “Jaws” Perez might be the one who needs a bigger boat before all of the fallout from his frivolous lawsuit against the Trump campaign... WikiLeaks and the shark-eating Russians hiding under his bed. He made the rounds of the friendly propagandists on Sunday, explaining how they’re supposedly filing the suit, not for the obvious propaganda and fundraising benefits that they’re already using it for, but in the interest of protecting the country. Who knew the globalist Democrats were such patriots? Perez made virtually the same pitch regardless of which Sunday program he was on, reading from the talking points in front of him. On Meet the Press he joined fellow leftist Chuck Todd, who began by asking him why he didn’t just wait for the Mueller witch hunt to run its course. Indicating that he thinks the Mueller thing could drag out for a very long time if Democrats are successful, Perez says there are statute of limitations considerations. He said, “I don’t know when Director Mueller’s investigation is going to end nor would I ever ask him.” Perez refers to the special counsel as the Director. Given the bias of the FBI and the invisibility of Director Wray, he’s probably correct. Mueller was put back in charge with Rosenstein at DOJ. Wray and Sessions are just feckless figureheads... https://rickwells.us/perez-obama-clinton-mobsters/.

Is 'Old-fashioned' Returning?
by Cal Thomas
{ townhall.com } ~ "It's a modern changing world
Everything is moving fast.
But when it comes to love I like
What they did in the past." -- The Everly Brothers, 1962
Call me old-fashioned -- and I've been called worse -- but do I sense the possible end to the sexual revolution, which exploded in the '60s and whose fallout continues today.
Women complain that men won't commit, whether in a dating relationship or marriage. The #MeToo stories that have emerged since the exposure of Harvey Weinstein's alleged sexual harassment of numerous women in Hollywood have also contributed to their frustration. Harassment victims feel used and abused by men who, apparently, were never taught that women are co-equals in the human race and thus deserving of respect, even honor. I know, that last part sounds old-fashioned.
New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd has written about a new book by Joanna Coles, chief content officer of Hearst magazines and the former editor of Cosmopolitan and Marie Claire, titled "Love Rules." The book focuses on avoiding unhealthy relationships in the digital age.
Coles spoke to Dowd about the young women she knows who feel "obligated" to have sex with men they don't particularly like and what appears to be a growing "disillusionment with the hookup culture" at Middlebury College, as expressed by Leah Fessler in an article for the website Quartz.
What especially intrigued me about Dowd's column was this line from Coles: "No one wants to go back to sock hops and going steady, but to attempt to separate emotions from sex is not only illogical, given that emotion intensely augments pleasure, but also impossible for almost all women."
As a product of the sock hop and going steady generation I rise to its defense.
So, "no one" wants to return to a system that largely prevented the emotional, relational and, yes, physical problems encountered by modern lifestyles? Isn't it the very definition of "insanity" when one expects different results while repeating the same behavior?
There were certain "rules," way back when, about how men should treat women though Hugh Hefner would later blow them up. The rules mostly worked for people who conformed to them. Yes, I know women experienced other problems then.
The societal wreckage caused by the hookup culture, easy divorce and co-habitation without commitment doesn't need studies, though there have been some, chiefly by the late Judith Wallerstein, who spent 25 years studying the effects of divorce on children. She ultimately found that the pain from their parents' breakup continued to cause them distress well into adulthood.
Common sense and experience also reveal certain things about human relationships, which work best and which don't, especially for women, who mostly bear the burden when men don't "love, honor and cherish" them until death they do part. For those of a certain age, that's what couples used to pledge to each other when they married.
Dowd quotes Coles as saying modern sex is "bleak." It doesn't have to be. Millennials would do well to consult their old-fashioned and long-married grandparents. Or they can put on a "Golden Oldies" radio station and hear Don and Phil Everly sing:
"I'm the kind who loves only one
So the boys say I'm old fashioned.
Let them laugh, honey I don't mind.
I've made plans for a wedding day for you and me.
That's old fashioned.
That's the way love should be."
