The suspect, who was wounded in an exchange of gunfire before he was arrested, was identified by the Department of Homeland Security as Rahmanullah Lakanwal, an Afghan national. Trump, who was at his resort in Florida at the time of the attack, released a prerecorded video statement late on Wednesday calling the…...

They're asking questions. Let's play a game. When you hear "Medical Doctor," what comes to mind? Intelligence? Authority? Trust? That's exactly what the'Medical Industrial Complex'wants you to feel. They've spent over a century and billions of dollars carefully crafting that image. But here's the truth they don't want you to know:'The modern M.D. is less a scientific genius and more a high priest in the "Church of Biological Mysticism." They wear white coats. They speak in Latin. They scribble on a sacred prescription pad. And you, the patient, are expected to have the faith of a zealot. But what if the entire religion is a sham? What if the "emperor" of modern…...

20+ min ago (523+ words) In today's Thanksgiving episode of "Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words," Victor Davis Hanson and Jack Fowler take issue with director Ken Burns' assertion in his "American Revolution" documentary series that the Founding Fathers based their ideas for democracy on the Iroquois Nations. That is based on an early line in Benjamin Franklin's corpus of quotations that he mentions the Six Nations. And I think'it's'in the'Federalist,'I'don't'know if'it's'[Federalist No.] 8, 9, or 10 or what, but'there's'a mention. But'here's'the point.'
