Pay Attention!
I understand the range of emotions that Americans are feeling regarding our withdrawal from Afghanistan. I understand how those people who actively aided our troops are feeling betrayed. There is no question that this could have been handled better. What I don’t understand is why the media is ripping Joe Biden apart on this. This […]
The Clock Is Ticking!!
Yesterday would be terrorist Floyd Roseberry claimed to have a bomb outside the Library of Congress. That alone would have been enough for one 24 hour news cycle. However the crazies needed more.
