The reason white college-educated women voted for Trump comes down to one word
I have read so many hand-wringing articles lately about how 49% of white college-educated female voters went for Trump. How could they? these writers cry.

Adjustable Temperature Clothing
You can thank me for the mild winter we are having. Why? Because I finally broke down this fall and bought one of those head to toe down coats with a big furry hood. This coat is so warm that you can really only wear it when the temperature is below 20°F. So I froze... Read more »
