If you were going to write the script for a military action movie where the leading character was a larger than life, fearless war hero, the inspiration for that movie could easily be Major James Capers. Born in Bishopville, South Carolina, he enlisted in the Marine Corps during the Vietnam War. After serving in combat infantry, he re-enlisted and would soon become the first… Read more »

Here’s a little “inside baseball” in the world of politics. Thanks to some recent polling, liberals have finally been persuaded that Americans are FED UP with their weak stance when it comes to our safety.

Here are just a few of the myths my staff and I have (repeatedly) been asked about over the last few days: “There’s no way the USPS can handle all the election-related mail.” “The Postal Service warned 46 states that it could not handle their election mail.” “The USPS… Read more »

I don't know how anyone could comprehend what happened to 5-year old Cannon Hinnant and still manage to keep it together. I honestly don't. His murder was absolute, gut-wrenching evil. https://www.wral.com/father-of-slain-5-year-old-everybody-loved-cannon-he-lit-up-the-room/19233827/ Read more »
