"Another War for the Feds to Lose"
*"Another War for the Feds to Lose"* by Bill Bonner "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." – Benjamin Franklin YOUGHAL, IRELAND – “This is not about freedom or personal choice,” said Joe Biden.

As a result, far more post-9/11 combat veterans carry wounds of war, both visible and invisible, for the rest of their lives. Many news... read more
