The Women’s March organizers are back at it. They now promote a general strike on the sexist theme of “A Day Without a Woman“.

A quick perusal of Women’s March tweets shows a cornucopia of thoughts and retweets by the organization on blacks, gays, transgenders, the EPA, Standing Rock, planned parenthood, living wages, mass immigration, and of course Donald Trump.

Do women, as a class, support all of those things?

Two days after the Pentagon's new chief Jim Mattis appeared before a full conference room in Brussels, and issued an ultimatum to NATO to boost spending or risk a cut in US support, Germany's Defense Minister Ursula von der Leyen "fired a salvo of warnings" back at Washington, cautioning it against hurting European cohesion, abandoning core Western values and seeking a rapprochement with Russia behind the backs of its allies.
