MSNBC host Joy Reid said that the word "inflation" is "not part of the normal lexicon" for Americans, and that they are only concerned with the concept because Republicans have taught it to them for political gain.

Writing in The Hill, Valdez said: One of Congress’s top priorities is to allow the unrestricted concealed carry of firearms, which would undermine one state’s strong laws with another state’s weaker laws for carrying loaded, hidden guns in public.

Publication date: 01/09/2003 Why do men like war so much?BY LANI SILVERSpecial to The Examiner    MEN SEEM TO BE out of control. They like war way too much.    They are way too aggressive. My proof: 200 million people were murdered in the 20th century because of war and genocide. Since most decision-makers are men, and most soldiers are men, we need to reflect a little on this problem.    I know, you want to yell out Indira Gandhi! Margaret Thatcher! Golda Meir!
