The real test comes when allegations involve political leadership. I can assure you that the test has not inspired much confidence. Over the past several years, … Read more

President Trump’s State of the Union (SOTU) honored America’s heroes, sympathized with crime victims, and described how he’s improving Americans’ lives.
