The Biden No-Go Zones ([link removed])
By Victor Davis Hanson (American Greatness)
[link removed]
Reporters ignore the mounting lies, ironically winking in acknowledgement that most are the result of Biden’s own cognitive deterioration—as if it is more reassuring that a president does not know what he is saying rather than is saying something untrue. How can we explain this utter dereliction of American journalism? How do we fix this problem? Can we? READ MORE » ([link removed])

Remembering the Great Olympic Gold Theft Humiliation and Horror at 1972 Munich Games ([link removed])
By K. Lloyd Billingsley (The Epoch Times)
[link removed]
Back in 1972, Mike Bantam, Jim Brewer, Tom Burleson, Doug Collins, Kenny Davis, James Forbes, Tom Henderson, Bobby Jones, Dwight Jones, Kevin Joyce, Tom McMillen, and Ed Ratleff formed the youngest basketball squad the United States had ever fielded.
