No Law, NO REPUBLIC!

No Law, NO REPUBLIC!

 NOT A DUCK? NOT A REPUBLIC! The decision this morning not to indict Hillary Clinton for her email abuses is just the latest in a long line of raised eyebrows, clucking of tongues, wink-winks and this mud won’t stick commentaries.

Opening Remarks For O’Bugler

The bugler was a military position in earlier times who was called upon to rouse the troop with various calls to duty. His trumpeted notes gave heart to soldiers who were being put to the task, sometimes risking life and limb as was their calling. Moreover, the bugler gave a sense of urgency to the regiment, alerting it to impending dangers or situations needing their immediate attention. The military is about tradition and...
