Obama’s Debt Interest Bomb
The Obama administration was the beneficiary of unprecedented low interest rates, which helped keep the economy moving, but more importantly for the former administration’s big-government agenda, kept borrowing rates low for the Treasury.

Before Bob Dylan there was Chuck Berry
Here’s a great tribute to Chuck Berry from Newport Daily News columnist Jim Gillis: You could argue that Chuck Berry, who died recently at age 90, helped invent rock ‘n’ roll.
