On April 24, 1964, President Lyndon Baines Johnson declared war on poverty on Tommy Fletcher's front porch in Inez, Kentucky, beginning a 44-year quagmire. Because this war is obviously unwinnable, I propose we begin withdrawing 60 days after the next President is sworn in.
On April 24, 2006, then-House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi ...

I was initially discouraged when I heard of the recent twin suicide bombings in Baghdad that comprised the deadliest day of terror in the capital city since the beginning of the Surge. My first concern was that the gains of the last year might be reversing. My next concern was that these ...

Sorry for not posting anything. I have taken a great interest in firearms lately and that combined with school starting, my step daughter moving away, and a general distaste for the political climate I have not wanted to post at all.
