Iowa Caucus Update: President…. Trump?!
I must say, of all the available Presidential candidates, John Kasich is by far the best choice in my opinion. He’s been a 9-term Congressman and is the current Governor of Ohio. He sat on the Armed Services Committee...

Sharia Comes to Yale: The Academic Love Affair With Extremism and Elite Money
