If you take a closer look, you’ll see a consistent story. These purple-state warriors are a mix of military veterans and pastors, former Republicans and red state independent candidates — actively…

The couple keeps to themselves.Shybalov had heard about Volodymyr Srebrodolskyy, whose village denied him a final resting place on the land where he was born.

By Chris Snellgrove | Published 5 seconds ago Who’s the best Star Trek director of them all? There are some strong contenders, including Nicholas Meyer, who effectively saved the franchise by turning The Wrath of Khan into a monster hit.

The corporate "news" media is caterwauling because President Trump has banned CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the White House. He first announced the ban on Friday, and it became effective Saturday morning when "journalists" from all three outlets were denied access to the executive mansion. Predictably, they all insist that Trump is violating their First Amendment rights. This is where the confusion comes in.
