Dennis ha...

Has anybody thought of this? EV’s are much heavier than gas-powered vehicles. Thus, they are much deadlier in a crash situation; i.e. more people will die.

The NY Times has no compunction about lying about Tucker Carlson… or anyone else.  A NJ high school student committed suicide after being fal...

As a man, “she’s” an also ran (pun intended)… Dennis talks to Mary Harrington, column...
