Cue The Back Up Beeps – U.S. Army’s New Missile Will Pound Targets 300+ Miles Away
What do you do with an old missile? Replace it with one that’s faster, stronger, cheaper to deploy and much more accurate. Better yet: Replace it with two!

Trump vs. Clinton: Lawn Sign Shocker in New England
Has Hillary dropped out of the presidential race? If you had been out of the country for six weeks and just returned home to New England, you’d not be faulted for thinking Clinton had withdrawn.

Why People Don’t Like Hillary Clinton
Remember when the Clintons first entered the White House in 1993? He the brash, young Democrat. She the professional woman with modern attitudes. “They captured the national imagination and were in a strong position,” writes Peggy Noonan in the WSJ. Then she—not he—messed it up.
