MILWAUKEE — Jamie Michel, a lesbian who founded the group Gay Against Groomers, thinks it’s ironic and “hilarious” that the Southern Poverty Law Center labeled her openly LGBTQ organization an “anti-LGBTQ hate group.” “They’re labeling us as an anti-LGBTQ hate group, which is the most ironic and ridiculous thing ever, because all of our members are gay and several of us are transgender,” Michel told The Daily Signal in an interview at the Republican National Convention earlier this month. She said the SPLC, the Anti-Defamation League and other liberal groups “labeled us as anti-us for simply speaking out to protect…

I’ll admit, I’m a bit skeptical when it comes to finding the best eye cream because I have permanently visible dark circles that make me look tired all the time. They’re genetic (and tend to look even worse when I’m actually tired), so eye creams don’t do much for them. In fact, I’ve tried just about every eye cream for dark circles out there, and only a handful have the power to actually make me look perky.On top of this, I’m prone to milia (those stubborn white spots that only a lucky few experience) under my eyes, and heavy eye…
