A party (commonly referred to as a shindig, bash, soiree, partizzle, kegger, or a get-together) is a gathering of people who have been invited by a host for the purposes of socializing, conversation, and recreation. A party will typically feature food and beverages, and often music and dancing as well.

Some parties are held in honor of a specific person, day, or event (e.g., a birthday party, a Super Bowl party, or a St. Patrick’s Day party). Parties of this kind are often called celebrations.

A party is not necessarily a private occasion. Public parties are sometimes held in pubs and bars, and people attending such parties may be charged an admission fee by the host.

What do you think is the one issue where both parties tremendously agree on?
Q. I think majority of both parties agree that illegal immigration needs to be handled differently. The thing is, you never hear anything about it, while illegals cost this country $338 billion per year. When will politicians step up and do something about this? New laws. No more sactuary cities. More deportation. Harsh penalties for businesses that hire. This will save our country so much damn money, but it's being ignored.

A. P.S. Please take Barbra Streisand TIME for divorce subject: Democrats and Republicans Dear American liberals, leftists, social progressives, socialists, Marxists, Obama supporters, et al: We have stuck together since the late 1950's, but the whole of this latest election process has made me realize that I want a divorce. I know we tolerated each other for many years for the sake of future generations, but sadly, this relationship has run its course. Our two ideological sides of America cannot and will not ever agree on what is right, so let's just end it on friendly terms.
