Submitted by ub on

On 12/2016 just before election day, @realdonaldtrump shouted his so-called hits to an adoring Pennsylvania audience, slamming Hillary Clinton, the stupid establishment lawmakers, and the fake news media.

In addition, harmful drinking can lead to violence and injuries.

Submitted by ub on

US Senator Chuck Grassley may soon be butting heads with Majority Leader Mitch McConnell as a Senate showdown becomes clear.

Submitted by ub on
