I think it could be argued that that person is racist because he or she applies something negative (racism) to an entire race based on their race. What do you think?

“The interesting thing to me about that election too is that, if you believe the exit polls, the majority of the people who actually voted for Mamdani in the New York mayoral race were young women… now ladies, we have work to do because unfortunately, the democrats think that we are susceptible to all of their crazy ideology and we gotta turn that around. We gotta bring the ladies over to the conservative side of the aisle and show them that God is where it’s at, family is where it’s at, having kids is where it’s at, and as my husband pointed out earlier, you can have that all and a career. We have to start doing better with speaking to everyone out there including young women around this country but the thing with that race that scares me is that that is the beginning and that is the new face of the Democrat party if you think they’re going to stop at New York you are kidding yourself. It will be all over the United States of America which is why we are going to have to fight even harder going forward from here on out because we we cannot let this happen ever again in the United States.” - Lara Trump

Do you think they can succeed in converting young women to conservatism?

Today, Tuesday, 4 November 2025, is election day in the United States.

It's an off-year, with no major national elections, but there are several important local and state elections in various parts of the country.

Whether you voted in this election or not, this question wants to know how you usually vote. What method do you use?

Please vote in the poll.

FYI... I voted today at my local polling place, only two local races.

"The suicide bomber made his away across Bagram air base in Afghanistan in 2016, heading toward a Veterans Day 5-K race featuring hundreds of U. S. soldiers. As U. S. Army Spec. Winston T. Hencely moved to grab the man, the bomber detonated an explosive-laden vest that left Hencely with severe injuries and killed six.

Hencely was credited with saving lives, and the military later concluded that a contractor, Fluor Corp., which employed the suicide bomber, had failed to properly supervise the man before the attack.

Under federal law, Hencely cannot sue the military for his injuries. And when he sued Fluor for negligence, courts dismissed his case, saying federal law preempted it as well.

On Monday, the Supreme Court grappled with Hencely’s last-ditch appeal to revive his lawsuit. The case will determine what recourse soldiers hurt in combat zones might have if they allege that contractors — a fast-growing part of military operations — are responsible for their injuries.

The case revolves around the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA), which in some instances waives the sovereign immunity the government typically enjoys against lawsuits. The law sets up some clear barriers to suits, including those related to “combatant activities” during “time of war.”

In 1988 SCOTUS held that the tort law barred suits against military contractors when the claims involve a “uniquely federal interest.”.

Mark Mosier, an attorney for Fluor, told the justices the readiness of the U. S. military to fight a war could be undermined by suits like Hencely’s because trust between the military and contractors is paramount.

“The purpose of tort law is to discourage risk-taking, but waging war often requires contractors to take risks, putting their lives and the lives of others in danger,” Mosier said. “Petitioner’s claims also weaken the military’s control over combat operations. Contractors are part of the total force, and the military cannot successfully wage war without them.”
