If you were going to prison for multiple years after pleading guilty to a slew of crimes, including tax evasion and bank fraud, what would you do?

Convicted Sex Criminal Migrant Caught Re-Entering US with Human-Shield Son

What, Exactly, Are We Losing from the Government Shutdown? Not Much

Media Go into Contortions After Trump Visits Troops in Iraq
By remaining coy and then surprising the military members, Trump effectively gave the military the recognition they deserve.

Trump’s Actions on Race Speak Much Louder Than His Words

The newspaper reported this weekend that the judge’s nomination fight has damaged his high school so badly that it is searching for an alumni relations director to soften the bad press…The only problem?
