Social Security needs lots of revamping
"We will always protect Social Security, Medicare!" says President Donald Trump. That would be nice. But when I look at these programs' balance sheets, I don't see how he's protected anything.

Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), who fancies herself a rule of law-championing model immigrant despite the fact she literally conceded to her fellow Somalis that she is "Somali first" and "Muslim second." Earlier this month, Omar's Washington, D.C., home was raided by the feds. Over a dozen Homeland Security Investigations agents, executing a duly issued search warrant, seized 17 items, including cellphones and ...
