Musk to Build New Chinese Factory, Despite CCP Crimes and Abuses
/in Economy, Featured, Life Advocacy, National Security, ThePricklyPear.org /by ThePricklyPear.orgBy Catherine Salgado Twitter Inc. has apparently changed its name to the highly unimaginative X Corp., but that, in my opinion, isn’t the most important news this week related to Tesla and Twitter CEO Elon Musk. Musk is once again selling out his supposed pro-free speech humanitarian principles for profit. If a country’s government is […]

The US Government Creates New Races

Phoenix School Board Discriminates Against Teachers—Goldwater Stands Up for Religious Freedom
/in Education, Featured, Liberty, Life Advocacy, ThePricklyPear.org /by ThePricklyPear.orgBy John Thorpe The government should never retaliate against private groups or individuals on the basis of perceived religious views—it’s not just wrong, it’s unconstitutional.

An Estimated 90% of Childless Women Wanted Kids
