    ABC News mistakenly published a rough draft of its reporting on Ivana Trump’s death Thursday, confusing readers and creating a viral moment on Twitter. Media outlets clamored to quickly get the news out on the passing of Ivana Trump, the first wife of former President Donald Trump, late Thursday. ABC News apparently was so eager that it mistakenly included pre-write notes in its reporting with the headline: “DO NOT PUB Ivana Trump, ex-wife of former President Trump, dies at age 73.

Yeah, I suppose you could say the same about ABCCBSNBCCNNPMSMBC etc., they are also our enemies in America, however, at least they are "our" enemies. If...

    Have you heard of Paul Smith? by Ben Reisz Guest Columnist After coming under heavy enemy fire in Iraq, he helped to evacuate wounded soldiers out of harm’s way, without regard for his own safety. Sergeant First Class Paul Smith then jumped into an M-113 armored personnel carrier, maneuvered it to the center of a walled courtyard, and climbed into the commander’s hatch to man its .50-caliber machine gun. Under heavy hostile fire from automatic weapons and rocket-propelled grenades, the incoming rounds and shards shredded his flak jacket, tearing it into pieces. Steadfastly, he continued to hold off a...
