I guess that shows how entrenched bureaucrats can get in D.C., doesn't it? less

It really made me wonder one day he's supporting the coal industry the next day he's going green. Solar panels don't grow on trees so adding them to the wall would bring up the cost of the wall and it would take many years to start paying for the wall cost. Cheers!
A 31-year-old Texas man did just that after he got a tattoo 5 days before. What killed him was flesh-eating bacteria, Vibrio Vulnificus. Terrible price to pay. :(

She could set the women's rights cause back 200 years!

It is so curious that the more outrageous the things he does/say, the more intense the defense of his staff. Why is that? Why do they want him to continue on down that very dangerous path? It makes no sense to me. Does it to thee?

Does taking enough pills make the problems causing the pain disappear? What is the long-term value of medicating yourself against feeling anything?
