Political commentator Tim Pool told Ben Shapiro on Friday that he was unaware that the founders of a media company that licensed one of his talk shows were being paid by Russians, and was blindsided by the allegations from the Department of Justice earlier this week. In his first interview since the DOJ indictment, Pool, the host of the popular Timcast show, reiterated on “The Ben Shapiro Show” that he had very limited contact with Tenet Media, which is accused by federal prosecutors of secretly taking money from Russians and licensed one of his spin-off shows called the “Culture War” podcast. He also explained that Tenet, which was founded by conservative commentator Lauren Chen, didn’t even have exclusive rights to his show, much less editorial input on it. “That’s the crazy thing, it’s not even an exclusive show, it’s not exclusive, we published it other places, we own all the rights for it,” Pool said. “And so now we get entrenched in whatever this is, and I’m just like, nah, I don’t have anything to do with this. I don’t know what it is Lauren Chen was doing. I’m quite perturbed by the allegations. I don’t know what will turn out to be true, but I’m pissed.” EXCLUSIVE: @Timcast first interview about the DOJ/Tenet Media indictment and his own Kamala Harris lawsuit pic.twitter.com/wVkPj7etKw — The Ben Shapiro Show (@BenShapiroShow) September 6, 2024 Pool said that despite clips circulating on social media this week that show him harshly criticizing Ukraine, he has always hated Russia. “Russia sucks. I’m not a fan of Russia,” Pool said. “I think Vladimir Putin is a dictator who’s used unethical and dictatorial means to maintain power for decades. And I’ve long said that.” Tickets for “Am I Racist?” are on sale NOW! Buy here for a theater near you. Pool said his comments criticizing Ukraine are rooted in his anger that the United States is spending resources abroad when it should be spending them on domestic problems. Chen, a Canadian-born YouTuber and former RT employee, and her husband, Liam Donovan, are not named but referenced in the indictment as founders of Tenet Media. The Russian defendants allegedly worked with Chen and Donovan to “mask” the “true source of funding” for the company, which the indictment revealed to be RT — a Russian state broadcaster. Chen and Donovan were accused of “falsely portraying” to commentators such as Pool that their company was sponsored by a private investor named “Eduard Grigoriann” — a persona that turned out to be fake. The Blaze has cut ties with Chen over the Russia allegations. Pool says he’s been contacted by the FBI, which is treating him as a victim of the scheme.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said this week that he backs Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris for president, matching previous sentiment that he has expressed about the Democrat Party. Putin made the remarks on Thursday while attending the plenary session of the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok, Russia. “We had Biden as a favorite, but he was dropped from the race. He recommended that all his supporters should back Harris, so we will, too,” Putin said. “She laughs so expressively and infectiously that it means that everything is fine with her.” Former Defense Intelligence Agency officer Rebekah Koffler said that Putin prefers that Harris wins because “Putin believes that he can manipulate Harris easily, unlike Trump, whom the Russians profiled as unpredictable and difficult to read.” The Trump campaign responded to the endorsement by posting a graphic on social media touting Putin’s backing of Harris. https://t.co/V8WcQPnIQj pic.twitter.com/zbvEPpgdSs — Trump War Room (@TrumpWarRoom) September 5, 2024 “In fact, President Putin would much rather see Comrade Kamala Harris in Office, as he strongly said just this morning,” Trump added in his own post on Truth Social. Tickets for “Am I Racist?” are on sale NOW! Buy here for a theater near you. Koffler said that Putin aimed to “unbalance” Harris by making statements “mocking, teasing, and pleasing” her.

WATCH THE TRAILER FOR ‘AM I RACIST?’ — A MATT WALSH COMEDY ON DEI “First, the Democratic Party is traditionally closer to the so-called liberal values, closer to Social Democratic ideas, if compared to Europe,” he said. “And it was from the Social Democratic environment that the Communist Party evolved.” “After all, I was a member of the Soviet Communist Party for nearly 20 years, or more precisely 18 years. I was a rank-and-file member, but it can be said that I believed in the party’s ideas,” Putin said. “I still like many of these left-wing values. … Yes, they are difficult to implement, but they are very attractive, nevertheless. In other words, this can be seen as an ideological basis for developing contacts with the Democratic representative.”

Speaking in Wisconsin on Thursday, President Joe Biden bragged about his spending for his climate change agenda while inadvertently admitting that his gigantically-priced “Inflation Reduction Act” was not really about reducing inflation. “I’m proud to announce that my investments, that through my investments, the most significant climate change law ever,” Biden boasted, then revealed that the Inflation Reduction Act title was simply a fig leaf for the real intent of the bill, continuing, ‘” And by the way, it is a $369 billion bill. It’s called the [Inflation Reduction Act]. We should have named it what it was.” The bill was passed by Congress and signed into law by Biden in August 2022. In July 2023, Biden bragged on Facebook, “The Inflation Reduction Act included $369 billion, the biggest investment in the world in climate change, and we got it done without a single Republican vote.” In case you're wondering why gas & groceries are still so expensive, Joe Biden just admitted the 'Inflation Reduction Act' was never about inflation—just a Green New Steal slush fund. Guess they woke him up too early from his nap. https://t.co/2N81qRmMwY — Rep. Nancy Mace (@RepNancyMace) September 5, 2024 “We were sold under false pretense that spending more money we don’t have on federal programs we don’t need would somehow tame inflation,” Rep Jodey Arrington (R-TX) wrote in mid-August. “How does that work? It doesn’t. According to the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, the IRA had a statistically insignificant impact on inflation and may have even exacerbated it.” House Energy and Commerce Committee Chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA) noted in August 2023, one year after the Inflation Reduction Act was passed, that since the start of the Biden-Harris administration, the cost of groceries had soared roughly 20%, gas prices were up almost 62%, natural gas prices had risen over 40%, and the Congressional Budget Office expected the launch prices of drugs to increase. This week, Rodgers, and Energy, Climate, and Grid Security Subcommittee Chair Jeff Duncan (R-SC) announced they would hold a hearing titled “From Gas to Groceries: Americans Pay the Price of the Biden-Harris Energy Agenda.”  “Clean, affordable, and reliable energy is foundational to the continued prosperity of the American people. Yet, the Biden-Harris administration’s radical, rush-to-green agenda has undermined our energy security, leading to years of out-of-control inflation and higher prices on everything from food to housing to vehicles and more,” Rodgers and Duncan said. “Energy and Commerce Republicans are leading to expose the consequences of those harmful policies and to advance policies that unleash American energy.”

The latest poll from the Montana Senate race shows Democrats are in danger of losing the Senate, even if Vice President Kamala Harris wins the presidency. The latest poll, from AARP, shows Republican challenger Tim Sheehy with 49% of the vote and incumbent Sen. Jon Tester (D) with just 41% when all third-party candidates are included. In a head-to-head matchup, Sheehy leads 51-45%. The poll of likely voters was conducted between August 25 and 29 and has a margin of error of +/-4% with the total sample and a margin of error of +/-3.5% with voters over 50. The survey was answered by twice as many Republicans than Democrats, as well as Independents, but it is in line with other polls being conducted in this race. Democrats need to win Montana in order to keep control of the Senate if Harris is elected president. According to Axios, they are likely to lose the Senate race in West Virginia and therefore need to win all eight other competitive seats. If they do so, the Senate will be split 50-50 and Gov. Tim Walz, as vice president, would be able to cast the tie-breaking vote, as Harris did under President Joe Biden. But if Democrats lose Montana, Republicans will hold 51 seats to Democrats’ 49, meaning they would have control of the Senate even if Harris wins. Tickets for “Am I Racist?” are on sale NOW! Buy here for a theater near you. As The Daily Wire has previously reported, Tester’s poll numbers haven’t been favorable for a while, and likely played a role in him skipping the Democratic National Convention and refusing to endorse Harris for president. The RealClearPolitics polling average has Sheehy up 5.2 points. Former President Donald Trump also leads in Montana, a state he won by 16 points in 2020. Tester is also the only Democrat in Montana’s congressional delegation. He won his previous elections by less than four points (3.1 percentage points in 2018 and 3.7 percentage points in 2012), so if Sheehy is helped even a little by the state’s favor of Trump, Tester could lose his seat. Polling is also tight in several other Senate races Democrats need to win, including Ohio and Pennsylvania, but Montana appears to be the most likely one for Democrats to lose at this point. In late August, Tester told reporters he wouldn’t endorse Harris for president. “Two reasons — because I’m focused on my race, and number two, people want to nationalize this race, and this isn’t about national politics,” Tester told NBC Montana. “This is about Montana.”

More state polling is out showing that the presidential race is unbelievably close, which means the debate next week is going to mean pretty much everything. If Donald Trump shows up and mops the floor with Kamala Harris or if Kamala Harris shows up and shockingly outperforms, that could be the deciding factor in this election. What are Kamala’s lines of attack going to be? The answer here is that she is going to have to memorize a lot because she doesn’t have the ability to stick and move. She has no capacity to actually adjust on her feet to the things happening around her. And so she’s going to have to memorize a lot. And her team is probably planning for that. But that is why — despite all the protestations about how they’re mad that the microphones will be closed because they were hoping for some sort of Donald Trump silly statement in the middle of one of her statements so she can claim she’s being interrupted and victimized — you could see a world where it actually benefits her that Donald Trump can’t actually interject anything. That’s because if she’s got a bunch of questions memorized, then she can spit them out the way that you would in rote fashion on a seventh-grade social studies exam. There are nine themes Donald Trump should pursue in the debate — and three things he should not. He doesn’t have to hit all nine, but these are the themes he should pursue. Theme number one: Harris hides from any possibility of adversarial questions. Trump should start by thanking her for showing up, saying: I’m so glad that you showed up because frankly, no one’s been able to ask you a question. You’ve been running away from every question. You pretended that you had earphones in your ear to avoid questions from the media. You don’t take questions because you don’t understand your own policies. You don’t agree with your own policies. You’ve changed your policies over and over. Theme number two: She’s the incumbent. She owns this.  During the debate, Harris is going to make a lot of promises. She’s going to talk about how she’s going to lower inflation. She’s going to fight for the middle class. She’s going to shut down that border.  And what he should say over and over is, “So why didn’t you do it?” Every time they go back to him, he should say: You know, Kamala, I hear you making a lot of promises. I notice that you’re the vice-president of the United States today. I’m not the incumbent. You are the incumbent. You own the inflation. You own the Afghanistan decision that left 19 million women in abject sexual slavery, locking them in the basement, getting tens of thousands of our allies killed, presumably leaving billions of dollars in military equipment over there and getting 13 American servicepeople killed. You are the last person in the room on that one. You’re the incumbent. You own it. So when you say you’re going to change things, why should we trust you? We know what a Kamala Harris administration looks like cause we’re in the middle of one and it sucks.  If she says I’m going to do X, he should immediately say, “So why didn’t you do it?” Theme three: Harris is wildly dishonest. It’s not just that she’s vague; she is totally and completely dishonest. WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show And here he should hammer her on Joe Biden’s health. It turns out that 80% of Americans believe that they were lied to about Joe Biden’s health. 80% of Americans believe that people who continue to maintain that Joe Biden is totally with it are lying to them.  He should hammer her on that ridiculous interview she did with Dana Bash on CNN. She literally said that Joe Biden is “with it,” that he’s strong; he’s verbal. Donald Trump should say: You keep saying that, that he’s healthy and that he’s with it. That raises a couple of questions. One, why are you lying? Everybody knows that you’re lying. But that also raises another question, which is, why are you here? Why are you here if he’s so with it? If he’s so well why are you here? What gives you the reason to be the nominee? Is he ‘with it’ or is he senile? Are you lying to the American people? The question of honesty is a really big one for Kamala Harris, because she is a liar. She lies an awful lot. Trump should point out that she is doing ads in which she walks next to his border wall and pretends that she’s hard on border security. She’s lying. She can’t even keep her accent straight when she’s in Detroit. She starts dropping into a Southern accent, and the minute she’s in Pittsburgh, she suddenly sounds like she’s a business school student at Hofstra. Theme four: Harris is totally incoherent. You know that during this debate she’s going to drop a word salad. She’ll start waving her arms around making the weird hand motions.  When she finishes her answer, he should say the exact same thing to her that he said to Joe Biden. He should say: I don’t know what she said and I don’t think she does either. That was nonsensical. I said that about her predecessor in this race, Joe Biden, because he legitimately didn’t know what he was saying at any given time because of his mental problems. But you don’t know what you’re talking about because you legitimately don’t know what you’re talking about.You can’t hold firm on a single policy. You can’t explicate any of your policy positions without randomly exploring the wilds of empty, vague rhetoric. You spin out bumper stickers and mix that in with nonsense, it doesn’t make it a coherent policy. And you’re incoherent. The American people deserve a president who actually knows their own policies.  Theme number five: She’s radical.  This is perfectly obvious. Kamala Harris is the most radical presidential candidate in modern American history, which is to say all of American history, because if you’re a radical candidate, then your radicalism has likely flowered in the United States in the last half-century or so. She is easily the most radical candidate in American history.  He should say: You told the truth about your positions in 2019 and 2020, when you ran for president. You say now that you don’t believe any of the things you believed then. So I want to know why you switched. What did you learn? Were you super-wrong? Then you say that you have the same exact values that you held then. So why are you switching all of your actual policies? Could it be that you are not switching your policies and you are lying and you are just as radical as you ever were and now you’re lying to get past Pennsylvania, for example.  You wanted to ban fracking in 2019 and 2020. That is radical. And now you say you don’t want to ban fracking. Based on what? You now believe fracking is safe and wonderful? I don’t believe you. You actually co-sponsored a bill saying that by 2035 there should not be gas-powered engines in the United States sold on the market. Now, you say you don’t want an electric vehicle mandate, but you were also asked just last week by Axios whether you would veto such a bill and you had no answer. So I think you’re lying. Do you want to decriminalize border crossings? Back in 2019 and 2020. you said that you did want to decriminalize border crossings. When you were attorney general of the state of California, you sued to try to prevent the federal government from cracking down on sanctuary cities. So where are you on that? Should we decriminalize border crossings? Now you say you’re tough on the border. And if you say that you’ve shifted, I want to know why. You said that you wanted to propose a tax on unrealized capital gains. Even your gigantic billionaire supporter, Mark Cuban, says that will destroy the stock market. So what’s the story?  You are pro-race reparations in the United States in 2019 and 2020. Did something magically change? Or are you just that radical?  You’re pro-abortion until birth. You’re pro-transing the children. The most radical candidate in American history.  Theme six. Harris is absolutely weak. Super-duper weak. Trump should say: So you want to pretend that you are hard-core on the border. You are not. You’re presided over the single greatest invasion via the southern border in the history of our nation in terms of illegal immigration, bar none, not close. You say that when you were A.G. in California you cracked down hard on crime. Really? Did you? Because there was actually a massive crime lab failure that released 1000 criminals onto the streets because you were so soft on crime. You were a San Francisco prosecutor, and now you want to be a San Francisco president. You say you’re going to be tough on terrorism. You’re going to have a lethal military. You haven’t even unleashed that lethal military on the Houthis, a ragtag bunch of bandits who have held up all shipping in the Red Sea.  What is it you would say you do around here? If you’re so tough, if you’re so rough on the world stage, that people actually fear you, why does no one fear you? Why are all of our enemies on the move? Russia invaded Ukraine while you were vice president. Iran has activated from seven different fronts attacks on Israel while you’re the vice president. China is casting its eyes at Taiwan while you are vice president.  They don’t think you’re tough. Xi doesn’t think you’re tough. Putin doesn’t think you’re tough. The Iranians don’t think you’re tough. They think you’re a mark. Theme number seven: Harris is a terrible manager. Trump should say: You want to manage the economy of the United States? You’ve never run a popsicle stand. Your campaign was so bad in 2020 that there were vast articles about how terrible that campaign was. You had to drop out before you even got to your own home state. The amazing thing about you, Kamala, is that you somehow became the presidential nominee for a major American party after never winning a single primary vote in your entire life. That’s unprecedented. It’s insane. You’ve never run a good campaign. You nearly lost your attorney general’s race in the far-left state of California to a Republican. That’s how incompetent a campaigner you are. You only won your Senate race in California because you ran against another Democrat, Loretta Sanchez.  You have a 93% turnover rate in the office of the vice-presidency — where you do nothing all day. Now you want to manage America? You couldn’t even manage a campaign to win a nomination.  Theme eight: Harris is not just radical, she’s a threat to democracy. Trump should say: You’re not just radical. You are a threat to democracy. You have pledged to completely revise the bargain of the Constitution between the people in their government. You have pledged that if you become president and if you have a Democratic Senate and a Democratic House, you will immediately kill the filibuster. You will then use a bare Senate majority in order to ram through a wide variety of radical proposals, ranging from stacking the Supreme Court to changing voting rules to mandating ballot harvesting across the nation to adding states to the United States Senate to permanently stack the United States Senate in favor of Democrats. The administration under which you serve has used more executive orders than any administration in modern history. That administration has tried to use the Occupational Safety and Health Administration in order to cram down a vaccine mandate on 80 million Americans.  You are a threat to democracy. You want to claim I am a threat to democracy, because there were riots on January 6? How about the fact you presided as a vice presidential candidate over some of the worst riots in American history and I say presided over because you tried to bail out the rioters in the Black Lives Matter riots. Theme number nine: Harris is simply not up to the job.  Trump should say: You failed at every single job Joe Biden ever gave you. He put you in charge of the space program. And now we can’t even have a rocket get up to the International Space Station to get down our astronauts. Joe Biden put you in charge of the border in the Northern Triangle and illegal immigration skyrocketed. Joe Biden made you part of the Ukraine team and Ukraine was promptly invaded.  You were totally sidelined in the White House, according to multiple reports, because you were so incompetent. In fact, you were an afterthought. The only reason we’re even talking about you right now is because your boss went totally senile and then you were rammed into the nomination by Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and Chuck Schumer. There’s literally no issue on which you have been given control that you have not botched beyond all belief. You’re not up to the job. Those are the nine themes that Trump has to hit. It doesn’t have to be all of them. But he should hit a lot of them.  It should be a target-rich environment for President Trump. Harris has been able to shift this race to pretend she’s not the incumbent. Somehow she is running against Joe Biden and Donald Trump. That’s a lie and everybody knows it.  Tickets for “Am I Racist?” are on sale NOW! Buy here for a theater near you. This brings us to the stuff that Trump cannot do. Number one: He cannot lose his cool. The Kamala Harris campaign is betting on him losing his cool. This is the real reason why they’re upset about the lack of open mics during the actual debate. They are really pushing hard for the open mics because they were hoping to prompt him into a moment where he stepped on her toes and then she could claim that she was a victim. She could go crying to the audience. They are desperately hoping for Trump to overstep his boundaries and lose his temper. And then Harris can whine, “I’m speaking. I’m speaking, I’m speaking.” They’re waiting for that moment. So he can’t give them that moment.  Number two: He cannot make personal insinuations. This one’s really hard because, frankly, her life story is filled with stuff like that. And Trump loves that kind of stuff. But Trump should definitely avoid her history with Willie Brown. He should avoid it because it’s not a winning tactic, even though it’s true. It is amazing that we have now reached a point in the United States of America where it is considered more controversial and taboo to mention the fact that Kamala Harris got her start by having sex with Willie Brown, one of the most important men in California politics, than the fact that she actually did it. He shouldn’t mention that. We are supposed to believe her rise was all done on political skill and her wherewithal and her strength. It’s no problem that she actually got her start by sleeping with one of the most powerful men in California politics who overtly talked about how much he helped her on her way up. But Trump shouldn’t touch it because he will be labeled a sexist and it will open him up to all sorts of allegations about his own sex life. But most importantly, it will let her play the victim, which she desperately wants. That’s her last resort: she is Donald Trump’s victim. He should not give that to her.  Finally, and this is the biggest one of all, he should not waste time on personal grievances. That is very hard for President Trump. His rallies are really funny and fun — until he gets to his Festivus grievances. He’s been doing this a lot less lately; he’s been avoiding this. He’s been talking about her policies; he gave an excellent policy speech on economics just yesterday.  But he has an unfortunate habit. When prompted to talk about how the election was stolen and January 6 and the victims of January 6 and all that kind of stuff, it’s unhelpful, even if he believes it. The same thing is true, for example, if he is asked about his comments regarding Kamala Harris’s race, which will certainly come up.  What he should say is: Look, what I was talking about is your radical dishonesty when it comes to how you code-switch. You go from audience to audience. You change your accent in order to appeal to different audiences. And it is really, really dishonest. But of course, you’re black. Everyone knows you’re black. That is clearly true. If he says that, that will be the end of it. But if he follows down the rabbit holes, that is what she is hoping for. That would be a large-scale mistake. This is a very winnable debate for President Trump. Her entire strategy is to throw him off his game. Her entire strategy is to make him mad. Her entire strategy is to have him demonstrate on the stage why he is unfit. And so she will say nasty things or try to prod him. He does need to push her on some issues.  But if he keeps his cool, he’ll be in good shape.  And I think he will. * * * WATCH THE TRAILER FOR ‘AM I RACIST?’ — A MATT WALSH COMEDY ON DEI

Former President Donald Trump said on Friday that the sentencing in his hush-money case is being moved to after the election because he “did nothing wrong.” Judge Juan Merchan postponed the sentencing in the Manhattan case on Friday for the second time, pushing the date back from September 18 to November 26, exactly three weeks after the presidential election. In a Truth Social post, Trump argued that Merchan delayed the sentencing “because everyone realizes that there was NO CASE, I DID NOTHING WRONG!” “It is a political attack against me by Comrade Kamala Harris and other Radical Left Opponents for purposes of Election Interference, and is a case that should have never been brought,” he wrote. “Nothing like this has ever happened in the United States of America – IT IS STRICTLY THIRD WORLD, BANANA REPUBLIC ‘STUFF.'” Trump was convicted in late May on all 34 counts of falsifying business records brought against him after he was accused of covering up hush-money payments to porn actress Stormy Daniels, which date back to the 2016 election campaign. Merchan said that he was delaying the sentencing “to avoid any appearance — however unwarranted — that the proceeding has been affected by or seeks to affect the approaching presidential election in which the Defendant is a candidate.” Trump and his allies have alleged that the hush-money case brought against him by Manhattan Democratic District Attorney Alvin Bragg is a ploy to stop the Republican nominee from winning another term in the White House. Tickets for “Am I Racist?” are on sale NOW! Buy here for a theater near you. Merchan shot back at those allegations with his order on Friday, arguing, “The Court is a fair, impartial, and apolitical institution,” adding that his decision “should dispel any suggestion that the Court will have issued any decision or imposed sentence either to give an advantage to, or to create a disadvantage for, any political party and or any candidate for any office.” In his Truth Social post, Trump added that the American public and “every legal scholar” “understands” that the Manhattan case is “election interference.” He argued that the case should ultimately be “terminated.” Legal experts have said that the Supreme Court could ultimately step in. Trump’s attempt to get the case moved to a federal court before the sentencing was shot down by U.S. District Court Judge Alvin Hellerstein, writing that the federal court “does not have jurisdiction to hear Mr. Trump’s arguments concerning the propriety of the New York trial.”

It’s been 50 years since the world was introduced to Melissa Gilbert as Laura Ingalls Wilder on Little House on the Prairie. We fell in love with half-pint’s braided pigtails and freckled face. She was only 9 years old when she took the part, and it changed her life. After a successful career in Hollywood, she lived in Los Angeles but felt like no matter where she went, she couldn’t escape. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Melissa E. Gilbert (@melissagilbertofficial) “All of the pressures, I faced all of them,” she told People, “When you live in Los Angeles, it’s like living at the mall when you work at the mall. Literally, everyone is in the business. When you walk into a restaurant, every head turns to see who walked in. Everybody’s always looking, curious, competing and that’s a really difficult thing, especially for a female actor. It puts a lot of pressure on staying thin and staying young and really it makes it hard to feel comfortable in one’s own skin, because [of] the aging process.” Melissa Gilbert Married Timothy Busfield in 2013 And Made A Big Change Melissa Gilbert married Timothy Busfield in 2013 and lived in Michigan for five years before she stopped worrying about the pressures of Hollywood. She stopped getting Botox and fillers, quit coloring her hair red, and had her breast implants removed. She finally felt like she had her life back. “I had to get out of there [L.A.] because it felt like I was not being authentically myself,” she admitted. “In the five years that I was in Michigan, all of that stopped. … I stopped everything and just focused on being as physically and emotionally healthy as I could. And I think that shows, ‘Yes, I’m aging, but it’s not a curse — it’s a blessing.'” She and Timothy now live in upstate New York and created a lifestyle brand, Modern Prairie. “Modern Prairie is a place where the modern seasoned woman can connect with other women to share their stories as we walk through all of these huge transitions in our lives,” she said. “We are all going through incredible things, whether they’re physiological, hormonal changes happening, we’re losing our spouses and partners or have children leaving the nest.” This story’s featured image is by Pascal Le Segretain/Getty Images.
