Instead Feinstein, exposing Chuck Schumer as the anti-reform Senate leader he is. Whiteh...

Too often you encounter people who (without furnishing any evidence) boast about some texts being from the fourth or fifth century B.C.E—they are convinced that their culture is great merely because it’s the most ancient. But what are the key learnings from these ancient texts? What was th...
