The mission began inside a golf community clubhouse on a Sunday afternoon, where parents were coached on how to land a Fox News appearance.

The air in East Texas hurts to breathe sometimes.
Our analysis of EPA air monitoring data shows that companies have far underestimated the pollution caused by their facilities.
At a U.S. Steel plant outside Pittsburgh, monitors found benzene levels 37 times higher than estimated emissions.

If you rank govts by how many Christians they killed, top of list are self-identified Christian countries killing those they view as the wrong kind of Christian.
For the low, low price of tolerating the mere existence of atheists, you will never be burned at the stake for heresy.
