Whether women should be paid the same as men has long been contentious. Despite progress in gender equality, the gender pay gap persists, igniting fierce arguments on both sides. Advocates for equal pay argue that it’s a fundamental right and a matter of justice. At the same time, critics claim that differences in pay are often due to legitimate factors such as career choices and working hours. This article delves into this heated debate, examining the arguments for and against equal pay for women.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz's relationship with China began when he taught English and American history in the southern city of Foshan more than 30 years ago. Since then, he has frequently criticized the Chinese government over its violent repression of pro-democracy campaigners, but that hasn't stopped Republicans from trying to falsely paint Vice President Kamala Harris' running mate as an apologist for tyranny.

In 1919, famed author Rudyard Kipling published his poem, “The Gods of the Copybook Headings” as a warning against progressivism (or in his day, Fabian socialism). Today. it reads more like prophecy. Glenn reads the poem, which describes a world that has denied reality, bought into a promise of peace (if only they surrender their weapons to the elites), and where “our women had no more children and our men had lost reason and faith.” Sound familiar? But the poem hasn’t been fully fulfilled yet. The next stop is a place where “we had plenty of money, there was nothing our money could buy.” This is our last chance, Glenn warns, before “‘the gods of the copybook headings,’ — the TRUTH — ‘with terror and slaughter return.’”

No, pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness don’t fold into caskets. It’s a question a reader posed one of the first times I wrote about pallet shelters. I find the pallet shelters to be more palatable than ice fishing tents. The Colorado Village Collaborative operates both micro-communities and the so-called Safe Outdoor Spaces with the tents. We all learned the tents are not safe when a fire roared through a CVC Safe Outdoor Space, destroying the compound quickly. Officials never disclosed a cause of the fire.
