News in French is the Singular "Nouvelle" which is the French for New
Why on earth would a woman want to be portrayed violently as a woman? Isn't there enough negative portrayal of women in the media?.. books, movies, tv etc..

influency now comes with a price, america has now become decrepid when it comes to politics because of its bias towards the world. americas purse is run by a group who have bought yur freedoms and have infected our social fiber leaving us prone and weak.
