In space, Venus flanks Earth on the left, with a hellfire greenhouse effect. Mars on the right, which long ago had running water. Today, it's bone dry. Something bad happened on each planet.

Crockett: Instead of the President cosplaying as the next pope, he may want to cosplay as an actual President of these United States.
That means he may have to do a little bit of research and understand that he swore a an oath to defend and protect the constitution.

You’ve probably heard the advice: “Just buy American to avoid tariffs.” But even products made in the U.S. often rely on global parts & packaging.
You’re paying for all of it. Tariffs are taxes on consumers—not other countries.

In 1964, the Civil Rights Act was signed into law.

The CRA of '64 pissed off segregationists. They were no longer able to be openly racist & violent.
