Although he signed the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act, which blacks love, LBJ was a racist in his personal beliefs. ![]() Owens takes us through a history of blacks in the US, pointing out that their infatuation with the Democrat party began with FDR’s New Deal and was sealed by LBJ’s Great Society Program. “Unlike the physical enslavement of our ancestors’ past, today the bondage is mental.” Honestly, as a woman I even find “women’s history focus” and things like that annoying. I would be so annoyed at all the government programs and their insinuation that I wasn’t as smart or as able as those of other races. Owens recounts her own experience as a black woman, subject to the “bigotry of lowered expectations.” I’ve thought several times how I’d feel if I was black. Owens recently wrote “Blackout: How Black America Can Make Its Second Escape from the Democrat Plantation.” In this book, the commentator gives us an overview of her beliefs. Shockingly enough, she is a BLACK conservative woman. But while AOC is a blazing liberal, Owens is a conservative. She’s the same age (31) as the infamous “AOC” - Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Candace Owens came onto my radar recently. ![]() ![]() ![]() Many of the tales such as, Coyote and the Pebbles and Rabbit and the Tug-of-War depict the trickster in a more well-known form of a coyote or rabbit.

When Nino and Kiara spoke the language of love through music to convey every tincture of their emotions and feelings left unsaid? Romance is not dead. Their marriage could have only been arranged and orchestrated by Remo Cora Lord Almighty himself with angels singing in the background. Upon each reread, the book doesn't cease to fascinate me: Nino and Kiara are so intrinsically, infinitely right for each other. ![]() Nino's duality has such a calming, comforting effect on me: like the cold, serene and deadly expanse of the ocean, he is only susceptible to one natural phenomenon: earthquake named Kiara, and I loved to watch the effect of disturbances she caused. ⋆The evolution from clinical killing machine to doting husband carrying a torch for the one and only⋆ ![]() ![]() ![]() Fortunately, I don't think anyone will accuse Julie DiCaro's book of failing to live up to her innate talent.

THE UNNAMED NARRATOR of Lauren Oylers debut novel is an ex-blogger. ![]() I've always grouped her in with the more heterodox side of the left - hell, she went after Jia Tolentino, which everyone else is loath to do - but the book was written in a much more conventional girlbossy tone and didn't exactly feel like a satire of it. I was disappointed, because I think Lauren Oyler is a really good reviewer (Freddie's review of her Trick Mirror review is surprisingly uncharitable), but I don't think her fiction is too great. The writing is brilliant, bringing to life a narrator with a penetrating gaze and a. I started Fake Accounts and waited for it to get better.
