Who is the President Listening To? Part II

By

Kids today. They don’t know how great they have it. When I was a kid being a fan of the New England Patriots and the Boston Red Sox was an act of faith. 1986 was particularly trying with the Super Bowl loss to the Chicago Bears (the Fridge) and the World Series heartbreak loss to the […]

Is America Making a Big Mistake in its Foreign Policy?

George O’Neill asks why America must pursue a bellicose neocon foreign policy, rather than following the advice of more levelheaded leaders like Rep.

The Trump adviser who also understood and who helped Trump gauge that “heartbeat,” was Steve Bannon, now White House Chief […]

And sugar is at the root of these, […]
