Democrats suck for lots of reasons, not the least of which is this. Over Father’s Day weekend, 44* people were shot, 7 of them permanently.

For the Democrats, there is no deadline on challenging and rewriting history.

Cash-flow businesses are becoming one of America’s most attractive investment classes because they can generate income from existing customers, recurring revenue, and proven operations.
