However, Landry and other Republicans are now aware that they are not up against Hillary Clinton this time but rather Kamala Harris. At the convention, Landry addressed the attempted...

The arts hold significant importance for girls, just as they do for people of all genders. Engaging in artistic pursuits can have a range of positive effects on girls' personal, emotional, social, and cognitive development. Dance is my favorite performing art because it combines art and movement. Enrolling a daughter in dance classes can offer numerous benefits to her overall development and well-being.

And then there was one. It has been a bad couple of days for Donald Trump and Republicans who just knew that they had the election all sown up. Despite coming off of a lackluster convention that had more showmanship than subject, Republicans were eagerly waiting for the Democrats to hold their convention while they would continue to bash President Biden relentlessly over his age and mental faculties. Funny, how you can want something so bad thinking that you have it in your grasp, and presto, it slips right through your fingers. President...

At the time we married family was the focus. The man (husband) was the provider. The wife managed the home, prepared meals and was available for the children. It's not like that anymore. We reared five children, educated all five, all of which are...
