People don't realize that immigration blowhards like Donald Trump, Lou Dobbs, et cetera are actually pretty aligned in regards to the protectionist policies of socialist governments. A true economic conservative would support free trade amongst nations (including the free flow of… Read More

I watched the entire show and the only time I heard one of the performers sing live was during The Weeknd's 2nd song (and even then only for part of it). I have nothing against any of them using backing tracks. It's just a part of the gig. Even the Red Hot Chili Peppers had to pretend… Read More

I don't know what wage gap she's talking about. That 77% figure is complete BS because it's a simple average salary of all working men vs all working women. When you look at the pay difference within given professions of people with similar experience, the pay gap is statistically… Read More

That "Chandelier" cover was pretty amazing... The song sounds just as good stripped down with just vocals and some strumming.
