by

Another day, another assassination attempt on former President Trump. Have you ever predicted something, prayed you’d be wrong, then begrudgingly found out you nailed it?

Secret Service Is Probably Right About Outdoor Rallies

by

It’s comforting to think that professionals and experts have a firm handle on the things we entrust them with.
