Wall Street’s favorites resist the effort to ban profiteering on non-public information…   This is not just insider trading, but another form of bribery. US Politicians of both parties are corrupt to the core. They should be perp walked to jail now. Unfotunately they still control the courts, police and army. The Media Pundits eat their crums (and probably get passed insider tips)

I want the abortion rate to plummet, but abstinence-only sex ed and reversing Roe v. Wade   Where is the lowest abortion rate? The Netherlands – where abortion (and prostitution) are completely legal. What do they have that we don’t? Accordingly to U.S. News & World Report and the Guttmacher Institute, their low abortion rate is credited to very comprehensive sex education and easy access to contraceptives.
