How many times during the last two years has Congress revealed itself to be an incompetent and acrimonious mess. The inability or refusal of Congress to focus on the public good and instead to engage in intramural squabbles with the intention of setting each other up for critique, has led...

As a WW2 veteran, my father was proud of his service to his country and understood that the freedoms we each enjoy were purchased a...
