Editorial-Opinion June 2016

His name is Andrew S. Hanen. He is a United States District Court Judge down in Brownsville, Texas. He is a hero of mine. For the past seven years, it has been clear to me that the highest law enforcement officer in the nation, Attorney General Eric Holder, had been abusing the law. On May…

It is a little-known fact, very likely proven via reams of some egghead’s psychiatrical conglomerationism, that fishermen don’t think like normal people. Me neither.
