Portland, Oregon Farm Created Rosy the Riveter Corn Maize to Promote Gender Equality.

A Portland, Oregon farm has created a Rosy the Riveter Corn Maize to Promote Gender Equality, as a special dedication to the Women's World Cup Soccer Team.

The Sauvie Island farmers at Bella Organic farm, pumpkin patch, and winery are using corn to promote gender equality.

"We have felt strongly about this for a long time but it can put you in a vulnerable position to take a stance on a social issue, partly because there are always some people who are mean and sometimes even scary if they don't agree with you," marketing director Sofia Kondilis says. "So it took us a while to decide but we decided it was too important to not do it."

Keep US On Top of World Hierarchy, No Matter What: Republicans and Greenland

Republicans are so keen on keeping our hierarchies alive, that they will even support Trump's idea to buy Greenland. And they think the United States should be on top of a world hierarchy, and the interests of our country should Trump everyone else's self interests.


Republican Senator from Arkansas, Tom Cotton, stated that "The acquisition of Greenland would secure vital strategic interests for the United States, economically benefit both us and Greenlanders, and would be in keeping with American — and Danish — diplomatic traditions," the lawmaker wrote in The New York Times.

Trump: Rich People Make Better Americans

The Trump administration has unveiled new rules that could deny visas and permanent residency to hundreds of thousands of people for being too poor. Supporting the wealth hierarchy, other attributes don't count.

This new rule was introduced by the notorious Stephen Miller, the Trump administration’s lead on immigration policy.

Biden: "Poor Kids are Just as Talented as White Kids"

Does Joe Biden believe that white kids are high enough on our country's hierarchies that they aren't poor? He stated that, "We have this notion that somehow if you’re poor you cannot do it. Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids."

Yes, he later corrected his statement, but gosh, how did he come up with the original statement in the first place?

Trump Uses Language to Push People Down the Hierarchy

USA Today states that Trump has used words like "Invasion. Aliens. Killers. Criminals." over 500 times in his rallies, attempting to push people whom he misrepresents down our hierarchies.

An analysis of the 64 rallies Trump has held since 2017 found that, when discussing immigration, the president has said “invasion” at least 19 times. He has used the word “animal” 34 times and the word “killer” nearly three dozen times.

Together, Trump has used the words "predator," "invasion," "alien," "killer," "criminal" and "animal" at his rallies while discussing immigration more than 500 times. More than half of those utterances came in the two months prior to the 2018 midterm election, underscoring that Trump views immigration as a central issue for his core supporters.
