(With the exception of our military, to nobody’s surprise.) There’s simply no room to talk… Read more »

Later this (Thursday) morning, we're going to re-introduce a bill in the House that will prevent the closure of Parris Island, the preeminent training base for U.S. Marine Corps recruits.   Rep.
