'What are appropriately sized tampons?' Move over Minnesota, now another state looks to force feminine hygiene products in MEN'S rooms * WorldNetDaily * by Joe Kovacs
'What are appropriately sized tampons?' Move over Minnesota, now another state looks to force feminine hygiene products in MEN'S rooms * WorldNetDaily * by Joe Kovacs:
"So, I've dubbed this bill, 'Tampons for Timmy,' because it explains what this bill does. This bill puts tampons in men's bathrooms across the state in Maryland – including the Ravens' stadium, Oriole Park, men's prisons. I just think it's very, very expensive – and most importantly, totally unnecessary."
Debate over House Bill 941 has already gotten quite unseemly, with arguments over the "size" of the mandated products.
Liberal women in 1979 cheered the Ayatollah into power in Iran… and watched women lose every right in a once-thriving Persian paradise.

Checking Out Chicago's Checkout Bag Tax - American Thinker
When governments increase taxes, it's expected to happen slowly and gently enough to not be too destructive. - John F. Di Leo
Chicago did not choose that path...
- When introduced, allegedly to reduce the use of grocery bags to protect the environment, the charge was seven cents per bag.
- It was raised to ten cents per bag in 2025, and was most recently increased to fifteen cents per bag on Jan. 1, 2026...
- The only exception written into the code is SNAP purchases. If goods are bought with food stamps, they evade the tax.

Egypt, Pakistan, and the Diplomats Who Cannot Afford to Fail
Egypt and Pakistan have now emerged as the primary mediators pushing hard for a ceasefire deal. - Clayton Wood
