Why are they still there?
Members of the National Guard reportedly found metal shavings in over 70 meals; some were made sick by undercooked meat on Sunday, an ABC affiliate reported. A Michigan National Guard staff sergeant whose identity is being withheld said this is a common problem for...
Gaslighting America
The Founders believed a free press was critical to the success of the American experiment and envisioned it as the unofficial fourth branch of government. Jefferson & Madison in particular wanted the press to act as a watchdog to keep the government in check by...
