I was saddened to see that Jewel had naively and stupidly performed at the inauguration ball! I always admired her qualities as a human being! I'm not religious, but I do think that Jewel needs to repent her participation in that Trump supporting Fiasco! It's up to her to figure out how.

that’s a hell of an instagram non apology. i didn’t know she was still making music. if she wasn’t already irrelevant she is now.

add her to the list of artists who sold their souls and integrity for the almighty dollar.

Why did all manly gifts in Webster fail?

People like you are 100% of the reason we will have another 4 years of Trump. The elitist "us or them" and "anyone that agrees with anything he does or says" are "less than" mentality is what drove some of your former Democrats to vote for Trump. Regardless of the fact that the Democratic party did not offer an even viable choice, you still stick to the "all or nothing" losing mentality. Jewel was probably just trying to advance some things she sees as agreeable, and you are convicting her for it.

How is she even relevant? I didn’t know she was still performing.

The Face of the Health and Human Services secretary

(1) A slow geological evolution of a craggy mountain peak, if that peak had somehow acquired the weary gaze of a man perpetually debating whether to trust the fluoride in his drinking water.

(2) His jawline, a sharp and unyielding expanse, appears to have been hand-chiseled by a sculptor who lost interest halfway through, leaving behind a rugged terrain where skin clings desperately to bone.

(3) The cheekbones, majestic and unrelenting, jut forth as if attempting to escape the rest of his skull.

(4) Deep-set eyes peer out beneath brows that can only be described as "angrily contemplative," as though he’s perpetually weighing the pros and cons of an experimental vitamin infusion.

(5) His forehead, a sprawling canvas of furrows, suggests the internal torment of a man who's spent decades wondering whether Wi-Fi signals are spying on him.

(6) His mouth, a taut and pursed marvel of tension, looks as if it’s been caught mid-sentence for the past 30 years, locked forever in a grimace that quietly asks, “But have you really read the vaccine inserts?”

(7) His skin tone, a windswept beige, evokes the image of a leather-bound legal brief left too long in the sun, both timeless and vaguely unsettling.

(8) His chin, jutting with the defiant authority of a man who definitely has several bookmarked studies on electromagnetic hypersensitivity, anchors the face like the prow of a ship, bravely cutting through the choppy waters of modern medical consensus.
