Our recent political landscape is built upon a few pillars. One of the main ones is all about our ability to ‘Control Our Borders.’ This pillar is not made of stone and mortar and neither does it have a steel rod running through the middle of it to sure it up.

Being Uncomfortable
Being uncomfortable is something that I don’t feel often. The word doesn’t get a lot of use in my general lexicon. I can actually remember the last time I used the word, it was about Bull last week.
