Using soldiers as law enforcement is meant to be the last resort during civil unrest.

A grieving wife's statement shows the truth about a truly good human whose light was snuffed out by our government.

Hell, we’re back in the 19th century—but with drones and more morons.
Anytime some yahoo says, “all serious historians agree…” I want to say:
1. What is a “serious” historian?
2. Have you ever actually been in a room with more than one historian? We can’t even agree with how long the 19th century was.

Trump: We track Santa. We want to make sure that Santa is being good. We want to make sure that he's not infiltrated, that we're not infiltrating into our country a bad Santa. Santa loves Oklahoma like I do. You know, Oklahoma was very good to me in the election
