(03/29/17 10:11pm)
I’m not a big fan of Tomi Lahren — never have been. The 24-year-old ultra-conservative pundit from TheBlaze has made a career, if only for a few years, by belching her intentionally inflammatory opinions to arouse a like-minded right-wing audience.

We need to bridge the divides between generations
(02/21/17 10:32pm)
