But Espinoza’s words, published in September by the Arizona Capitol Times, weren’t entirely his own.

We’re now more than a week into the White House’s attempts to rationalize Donald Trump’s choice to tear gas peaceful protesters in order to clear the way for a photo op, and the excuses aren’t getting any better. Officials can’t even decide on one lie to tell, ping-ponging between denying the violence against protesters was that serious — the event

America went insane over the weekend. That’s barely an overstatement. People in their 80s who have lived in the U.S. all their lives said they’ve never seen anything like it. Ask an 80-year-old. This was without precedent in the modern era. A small group of highly aggressive emotionally charged activists took over our culture. They forced

Unscripted Joe Biden, as we have all come to realize, is must-watch TV. When the presumptive Democrat Presidential candidate speaks off-the-cuff, his message regularly goes off the rails. We all anticipate Biden will say something odd, confusing, or even incomprehensible during interviews and live appearances, but we are often still shocked by what comes out of his mouth.
