Thursday thoughts – Lowe, Bush, Afrika, and China
Jack Lowe, a high school kid I believe I saw mentioned in these pages, was made an Honorary Marine last fall – he had wanted to be a Marine all his life but last year was diagnosed with a serious bone cancer. The Marines made him an Honorary Marine, as he was physically unable to […]
Did Alex Soros and The Atlantic just call for Donald Trump’s assassination?
