Mypost's JournalWomen's role in founding of USA
After the war, women marched in parades, lobbied and petitioned legislators, attended sessions of Congress, and participated in political rallieslending their support to particular candidates or factions. Elite women published novels, poems, and plays. Some hosted salons where men and women gathered to discuss political issues. In New Jersey, single property-owning women voted.

m. pence, the real Russian connection. How you say?
Well before special counsel Robert Mueller started investigating possible illegal collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russian government, American evangelicals had formed an odd alliance of their own with leaders of the Russian Orthodox Church. American evangelicals are led to make common cause with Russian Orthodoxyand with Donald Trump and Vladimir Putinbecause of a deep and shared suspicion of Western liberal elites.

First deployment in Army
The 18 year old son of my cousin is being sent to El Paso, on Saturday. It will be his first deployment after completing his training. He signed up for the Military Police. Is trump going to shut down the Border?
NY, AG, where is the investigation into trump modeling agency?
Their account of what it's like to work as a model in New York including that they were not paid adequate wages and were housed in cramped, dorm-like apartments could be said about much of the industry and do not apply only to foreign models. But President Trump has made an anti-immigration campaign an early hallmark of his presidency. He is focused on those who are working illegally in the US and foreign workers who could be displacing Americans. The women Business Insider spoke with fit both descriptions.

What is going on? trump dumps immigrants
The release of migrants to shelters is common in El Paso, but advocates fear that the government may be dumping large numbers of immigrants on the streets to relieve overcrowding in the wake of the deaths of two children who were in Border Patrol custody.
Ruben Garcia, executive director of Annunciation House, an El Paso immigrant shelter that coordinates local assistance efforts for migrants, said immigrants would not be released to the streets on Wednesday, but instead will be placed directly into 11 temporary and permanent migrant shelters.
But earlier this week, ICE released hundreds of men, women and children at the Greyhound bus station in Downtown El Paso, leaving Garcia and others scrambling to find shelter for about 600 migrants beginning Sunday night and continuing through Christmas Day.

Cool cat liberals
Economy- what's brewing?
I am no expert to be sure. However, what's up with all these commercials offering folks help paying their taxes? I have never seen so many commercials since the 2007 that offered refinancing. Could it be that once everyone gets hit with the trump tax bill, there will be a lot of people in money troubles? If so, then all these Wall Street insiders know something that the rest of us don't. Their repub philosophy is, take the money and run ... stocks crashing. It looks to me like there is going to be a big recession because people won't have extra spending money after paying their taxes. Does anyone have any insight? Economy = eh ... con ... all... my ... money
