Had his own agenda
Now we learn that the decorated, Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman had an agenda of his own, but you'll never hear that from the media. Nor will we hear commentary that it was Vindman's job to carry out policy, not make it regardless of his "good intentions." I've said from...

The Best & the Worst
Many years ago I made a comment at the dinner table about the telephone answering machine (remember those?) being the greatest invention since sliced bread. My daughter who was probably eight at the time responded, “Dad, if that’s the greatest; then what was the...
