TIME TO SEE GRAHAM PLATNER’S SEXTS. To no one’s surprise and some Democratic strategists’ dismay, Graham Platner ran away with the Democratic nomination for senator from Maine. Now, barring some unforeseen development, the whole Platner drama that nobody knew about not that long ago — the Nazi tattoo, the Reddit posts, the sexting — will be […]

The average price of a new vehicle in the United States is $49,461, and the average price of a used car is $26,342. For those looking for simple transportation, finding anything affordable can be difficult. I support the American […]
When Iran struck Israel on Sunday, President Donald Trump demanded that the Jewish nation stop firing back. But when Tehran struck a U.S. military helicopter the next day, it was “bombs away” against the Islamic Republic. You can call it strategic, but I call it hypocrisy.
