BREAKING: In a stunning moment, renowned journalist Scott Pelley just highlighted how Donald Trump is working to stifle free speech in America, and how he plans on fighting back. This is huge.

Remembering my dad, a Korean War veteran, this Memorial Day. I am grateful for his service. Glad he isn’t here to witness our current shit show. He would be really upset.

Hey, if the media is interested in a cover-up of a senile president who's not really in control of his White House, there's one going on right now?

Folks concerned about a White House covering up a faltering old man better start talking about Trump. Read about this shocking - and dangerous - incident of Trump once again being distant from what is happening around him.

Trump's first overseas visit wasn't to our main allies, it was to the three countries most willing to pay him. Trump is the very definition of corruption and is trading our national security for outright bribes.
