Fake news

More made up fake news, "The Smollett Story." ABC, CBS, NBC, and especially CNN have egg on their collective faces again. Watch any of these networks and then believe the exact opposite of what you see and hear.

Taxpayers' expense

Mr. Knudtson outlines all the progress that has been made in bringing folks and dollars to Cape. But here is something that is overlooked.

Russia hoax

It is goofy, non-logical to believe that the Russians would want to help elect a president who loves and wants to protect his country.

States' lawsuit

Will those states that are suing President Trump over the emergency declaration be willing to take all the "illegal" immigrants? I do not think so. What does Hawaii have to worry about anyway, they are not going to swim out there. That is a frivolous lawsuit for sure. Just more obstruction by the democrats.
