Don t miss the big stories. Like us on Facebook. War is God s way of teaching Americans geography, wrote Ambrose Bierce, whose bitter insights were shaped in large part by a terrible war. As a soldier in the Civil War, Bierce witnessed scenes of slaughter over what was, in important ways, a fight to control rivers. You can read it in the names of the great Union armies: the Army of the Ohio, the Army of the Potomac, the Army of the Tennessee, the Army of the Cumberland. The battle over slavery was also a battle to preserve free commerce from east to west on the Ohio River and from north to south on the Mississippi.

USE-of-force expert Seth Stoughton said that the cop who fatally shot Ma’Khia Bryant had no other option but to use deadly force against the teen.
“With the caveat that I only know what is shown on the video, I don’t see any clear options or alternatives that were available to the officer,” Seth Stoughton told the Columbus Dispatch.
Police officer Nicholas Reardon was criticized for not using different methods to disarm the teen and de-escalate the situation instead of using a firearm.

Turns out, they have been key pieces of Colorado’s galloping economy over the last 30 years.

“Infrastructure is a true investment in our future,” former Gov. Bill Owens told me. “You build a road and it pays you back for 50 years.” If history is any indication, building our infrastructure is one of the best ways to rebuild our economy, Tony Milo, executive director of the Colorado Contractors Association, told one of our reporters, Joey Bunch. For every $1 billion added to Colorado’s construction industry, $2.2 billion is produced in output in the form of jobs, household earnings, and value across all of Colorado’s’ industries.”

David Von Drehle that, like the others, made the same point of Carlson and FNC being not only racists, but greedy racists.
And tell me again how things like this and the attacks on Georgia aren’t coordinated between columnists, journalists, and activists (but I repeat myself).

As we’ve reported on several recent occasions, the liberal media’s onslaught against Fox News host Tucker Carlson continues at full throttle as the left’s attempt to rid the airwaves of its most-feared and fearless enemy rolls on; an effort unequaled in recent times.
Sure, CNN went after Sean Hannity every now and then during the Trump administration, but Hannity lacks the depth of insight
