Protopunk is late 60s My mother was listening to disco just after I was born (61), but you probably wouldn't count french disco as such. Not that I count protopunk as punk...the term is obviously coined afterwards. Your mom could not possibly have been "listening to disco in 1961" because... |

I have a theory about why they do this. And that this is Christian nationalism showing its true one color:White (is motivated more by racism/nationalism than by Christianity). If "Missouri desires company" (wants to beef up its population size in the face of the drop in birth rate there, a... |

Former Trump Whitehouse officials testify that Trump DID try to get every critic and rival in the nation arrested during that first term, Biden, Pelosi, media outlets shut down, etc. What stopped him was the checks and balances in the Constitution.
