Military extremism, CV22 crash, Venezuala
Military.com is pearl-clutching that there are allegations (not proof, just allegations) that 183 service folks can be called extremist or supporting extremism.

Fox News Friday: Biden, Homeless, Tree, and one helluva prostate massage

A task force in San Francisco, California, long the looniest tune on the Left Coast, is doing something sensible. A new task force for San Francisco’s opioid crisis will empower law enforcement to investigate fatal […]
